New iPhones

I have a an absolutely mint 7 Black 32GB on Vodafone which can be unlocked for free if you are with them

Yeah, my earpiece had been muffled for a while. I thought it was just people mumbling before realising it was every call. I spotted you mention the same thing.

I fixed this on my friends phone, dirt on the speaker. Easy

I've done the same for a couple of iPhones in the office. Speakers and microphones get the same problem, giving them a clean out with a small pin made the phone actually usable again.

I'm not with Vodafone, what's the process?

[ste]

I think my wife might be though actually...

You can stick a Vodafone contract or PAYG sim in it, make a call, take it out again if you like and request a free unlock code 30 days later

Sounds dangerous.

I use a blob of blue tack to remove dust n shizzle from phone apertures. Gentle pressure (/swisstony) Works superbly.

AH Ok, I'd like it for next weekend ideally though. How much?

[Beany]

Oh, these ones were *caked* - I did follow up with a wipe of (citrus based) solvent and a can of compressed air for the rest of it, I didn't just ram a pin in all the holes!

I've never had this issue and can only imagine you lot eject actual earwax from your lugs

My phone goes in my pockets. There can be fluff in them thar pockets.

[JLv3.0]

My phone is also regularly placed in pockets. Thankfully the fluff is neither adhesive nor congealing

[ste]

Cheers, may take you up on that, just trying to work out how I can unlock it...

Are we all exceptionally excited about the Apple September Event? New iPhones, watches and other things? Perhaps news about Apple Card moving to new countries?

It’s going to be streamed on YouTube for the first time ever, which is probably a good thing.

[DeskJockey]

No. We're not.

I'm not, because I'm not a moron.

[Matty]

I'm sure they're be world-changing, revolutionary devices for reasonable, affordable money.

[Mito Man]

You know what I want, an iPhone which is almost the same as my current iPhone but has 5% more battery life, another camera for teh lols and a slightly faster processor. On top of this I want to be able to place the AirPods which I don’t have on my phone to recharge them thus negating any battery life improvements.

[JLv3.0]

Do real people even care about phones any more? We've discussed this before but we're "there" now, aren't we? Beyond more battery life I don't want any more features, and tbh the battery life of my S8+ of from-waking-up-to-going-to-bed is fine anyway.

Internet speed is the same - quick enough now, cheers, go improve something else.
