    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    I’ve never used the original Apple silicone case, in fact I always used third part cases in the past. I managed to get a feel of the techwoven case at an Apple Store last year when a colleague purchased the 17 Pro Max and I liked it. I like the feel, it’s light and grippy enough. It’s not...

    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    I got the chambray blue tech woven. Expensive, but paid for it with eBucks. In fact I also paid about 1/3 of the devices cost with eBucks. Helped bear the pain of going with 512gb after initially pre-ordering a 256gb.

    I feel the same, really poor service. I e-mailed a complaint, ordered the phone on takealot and received my phone prior to the iStore response.

    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    Did anyone else have pre-order issues with iStore? They happily took my money on day 1 of pre-orders and messaged me on launch day to say that my order will take 2-3 weeks. I cancelled and bought from Takealot. Got it today. I lose out on iCare plus but took my money elsewhere out of...

    The value will only show if needed, iStore has the icare + which is R2k “value” that you lose buying somewhere else. I added in the upgrade of R300 to get an extra year and screen replacement. Granted I didn’t need it for my current phone so it may go wasted.

    MTN don't offer password protection to prevent SIM swaps

    I had a fraudulent sim swop a couple of years back. I managed to cap their service centre from another phone and explain. Since I picked it up fairly quickly, she could reinstate my line, but could not answer any questions about how this actually happened. She either put me through to their...

    I want a higher kW inverter please help

    For those days, it’s a generator not more cost effective to charge them up than another battery?

    Investec

    This might not be the case any longer. It was true when I opened my account, this was the main difference, but also more than a decade back. I browsed through the current rules you linked, would have been under the product restrictions. To be sure, check with your banker.

    Investec

    Prime saver has a limit on how many transfers can go in or out, cash management does not. You can keep the cash management account and open a prime saver, you don’t need to choose. You can also have multiple of either account as well, if you need to separate savings purposes.

    Value Gumtree Ads

    https://www.webuycars.co.za/buy-a-car/Audi/A6/27B808495 So much want! Maintenance plan extended to 2030, that should cover most risk. The problem is the value will nosedive once that plan expires and there are no more opportunities to extend it.

    Car accident - What to do?

    Good on you for having third party cover instead of zero cover. It should be a minimum. Unfortunately this is one of the risks of only having third party cover, especially on South African roads where there are a high amount of uninsured drivers. Your best bet is to attempt recovery as per...

    CDs Making a Comeback?

    You need the phone to download the song, album or playlist but once it’s on the watch it can operate independently. I use my watch when jogging or gymming. I get the impression people think you are playing music through the watches loud speaker. The earphones pair with the watch, like it...

    Job makes it hard to resign

    I agree with the sentiment of seeking labour advice. What might guide you here is the BCEA, the notice period in your contract is not in line with BCEA and while you signed the contract, that portion is not valid as the act will override it. However, companies do put longer notice periods but...

    Solar opinions

    I installed my system in the middle of bad load shedding and still kept a close eye in terms of trying to recoup and maximise. In summer I run my aircons significantly more than I used to and still can’t use everything there is to produce. Previously I thought about to cost of running it for...

    Dawie's Solar Setup

    Congrats! I’m still waiting after multiple follow ups over 3 months after submitting everything required. How’s the system covering your needs after the extra battery?
