    If you go to Settings, then Battery, it shows you which apps are using the battery the most.

    Yeah, 80% is the generally recognised cut-off point (and beyond which Mazuma etc treat it as broken), but mine’s 89% and starting to get a bit annoying. The iPhone is really bad at killing the battery if you have a crap signal, which I do at work.

    To be fair though the booking through the phone is where Apple excel.

    I’d love to go out for a glass of wine with Iggy Pop.

    Smarty uses the Three Network. Personally would not use Three again after my experience of them but if the coverage is OK in your area should be OK them piggybacking on Three. Same as GiffGaff use the O2 network.

    My home broadband is 3 network and touch wood that's been ok so far.
    I'm just looking at other connections for my phone seeing as my contract runs out soon.

    Used to have unlimited. But now I am at home most of the time using WiFi have a lower one with SKY. It lets you roll unused data forward so if I need extra at anytime, as Imdid in hospital I can just use some of that at no extra cost. Think SKY piggyback on O2’s network.

    If Timpsons will do a battery swap for under £50 with a guarantee it sounds decent. See Howden’s post above.

    Just recently bought a used 12 pro for my wife, who was also on an XR. I moved from android to a 12 pro last year as all the family was on Apple. Newer phones might be a little flashier or quicker. The main reason I paid a bit more for a 12 is the MagSafe feature is useful in the car, and it uses 5g networks. The XR has neither, but a bit still has software updates if it’s just the battery that bothers you spend the cash and get it sorted and see how it goes.

    Assuming you're on a contract with Three including the router, and it works for you and you're happy with it, when the contract expires, check out a prepaid SIM like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BQPXF4D3/?tag=not606-21
    It works out much cheaper.

    I'm actually with EE for my phone until September when my contract finishes. I looked at their home broadband but that was gonna cost another £50 a month for two years. My flatmate was paying £20 a month for 3 so went with them.
    Thank you for the link.

    If you’re a sky customer, sky mobile occasionally have some unbeatable deals. It’s worth keep checking it if you’re in need of a new phone.

    Yeah, I meant for your home broadband. If you're just looking for a phone SIM I'd recommend anyone to look at HotUKDeals - people do the legwork for you. Even when your EE contract expires it's probably worth taking the hit and rolling to November when there's usually great black Friday offers.
