I don't think you really understand notches.

This is why I've always been a fan of hole punch cutouts that are on either side of the screen, I don't like when they're in the middle.

So I'm definitely due an upgrade (rocking a second hand iPhone X) but I just still can't justify spending £1000 on a phone even if it does last me 3 or 4 years. I do love that dynamic island, and I did enjoy the 120Hz on the Pro display in the Apple store when i looked at the 13 pro, but...I can still manage with my X. That said, storage is now full(64Gb) so I need to sort something out in the near future for that..

May as well just get the 13 that’ll now be cheaper looking at these features that I don’t need.

The OS is exactly the same, it's utterly pointless upgrading phones until they die/become useless.

I'm well aware, hence I'm still on the X! It is running slow recently which sucks though, and as I say the storage being full. I've just had a look at iPhone 13 Pro's on EE and Vodafone, £60 a month! I think i'll stick with my sim only £20 a month, thenThe OS is exactly the same, it's utterly pointless upgrading phones until they die/become useless.

I'm still on an 8, decided not to upgrade until the next OS is not supported. My iphone 8 does what I need it to do at suitable speed.

Had to phone apple this morning as I needed to verify my payment method again as my order got put on hold, and wasn't able to do it online. 40 minutes later I finally got it sorted.mwas very nervous my delivery date was going to get pushed back, but thankfully not.
It's now showing as preparing to ship. It's going to be a long week waiting I think.

I understand them just fine thanks.
You stated that you wished it changed colour. If it could do that, it wouldn't be a notch, because it would be under the screen.
Oh yeah
I have the 13 Pro Max and I am tempted to upgrade but there's not much changes to justify spending so much money again on a new phone, they didn't even increased the storage from 128 to 256... I'm loving that Dynamic Island but I don't think it will be worth the money 
So I’ve ordered the 14 pro 256gb in deep purple.
But god almighty was the pre order a shambles lol.
So after the event I went on the website and pre ordered one for Friday. So all went through with my 12 pro being used as a trade in against the finance, still have 2 payments to make. So £380 was the value they gave me and said after closing my account, it leaves me with 24 payments of £37 a mth. Just a few quid more than what I’m paying now.
Anyways come to 1pm and I’m trying to get in via the app. 5 mins later I’m in and go to my pre order, get to shipping stage of order and it throws up an error message. Times out and I try again and again same damn thing. Third times the charm right?? Nope I go in and again it times out but this time it completely wiped my pre order out .
So I’m like **** it I’ll try website rather than app. So I login in do the whole pre order thing again but it’s slow. But this time it goes through and I now get a date for 3-10 October.
Anyhow it is what it is I guess, disappointed that I won’t have my 14 pro for at least a few weeks. But have heard that I might get lucky and still get mine by next week but I doubt it. Because order screen on app is still giving me the date 3-10 October.
Not sure if anyone had the same issue as me, went on Reddit and seems like lots of people had issues.

I am torn, I really want to and in a way I could justify it, but knowing this is the last Lighting Cable iPhone...which for 1 year is not a problem, however I like to keep my phone 4-5 years, this means for the majority of the life of owning this phone will mean I need to keep a lighting cable around for much longer than I needed to...vs I could scrap all of them from next year.
Do we know this for a fact?
No.

Well, I guess it could be one more year...EU legislation is by fall of 2024. I still think it is silly not to have done it this year since the iPads are USB-C now for a couple of years. Anyway, I digress.

If you do the Barclays finance and trade in every year it becomes a bit easier to justify, I was paying £44 a month for my 13 Pro Max, I’m paying a couple of quid more to upgrade this year, my 13 Pro Max will be sent to Apple as a trade in to pay off the remaining of my loan.I have the 13 Pro Max and I am tempted to upgrade but there's not much changes to justify spending so much money again on a new phone, they didn't even increased the storage from 128 to 256...

Makes my monthly outgoings pretty much the same and I get the latest phone each year.
