I HAVE UPGRADED MY PHONE
Upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro (Raw Titanium in colour)
I don’t say this in any kind of showy way but you often ask me for my advice and so wanted to share my personal choice. Here’s the quick logic behind it
- The total life cost of the phone made sense for me, going via EE rather than buying outright or financing another way
- It is tax efficient for me to change my device
- My old phone was over 3 years old
- Storage is the most important decision as it can’t be upgraded later (I went from 64Gb to 128Gb)
- Camera is important to me and the 15 Pro has the best system
- The cost between the 15 & 15 Pro was negligible for the models I was considering
I am super happy with the new phone, although the decision process was bigger than the above. Feel free to schedule in a call and discuss it with me anytime!
LIVE VOICEMAIL
Speaking of iPhones, this is one of the features that Apple announced for iOS17 but it is not yet available in the UK. I for one am counting the days – so so useful!
MICROSOFT TEAMS
New apps have been released with a “new” tag to the name!
What does it actually mean? In reality so far very little unless you don’t have a Microsoft Business License.
They have added Multi account logins but it is still not the answer for most so carry on using Google Chrome and Profiles 👍🏻

CHEAP MOBILE DATA
Do you need data only for an iPad/Tablet/Mifi/mobile dongle?
These Mobile Data Cards from Three are fabulous value and unlike most Pay As You Go Sims (PAYG), takes 2 years before it expires
IPHONE AS A TILL
Did you know you can use your iPhone as a Till/Card payment terminal – no more pesky 2nd devices we all forget to charge ie iZettle, Square, Shopify et al
On the iPhone XR onwards, with most modern providers ie iZettle & Square, you can simply have someone tap a card on the phone. Game Changer for many!!
