So, got my 15pm set up and am absolutely loving it! It's definitely lighter than the 14pm which is great! Battery life is really good as well, tons better than the 15 pro that i'm selling! EE esim transfer was seemless as well, so i'm very happy!

Welp.. can anybody guide me on what to do?

I got a new 15PM and sent off my 14PM to musimagpie with the save to basket trick offer of £720 but my offer got revised down to £544 apparently due to ‘light cosmetic wear’ so I declined and when I got my iPhone back, it has a scratch on bottom of the screen! There was no scratches when I sent it off so I was confident I will get the original offer of £720 but now suddenly got scratched on screen!

Same thing happened to mine… pristine going there, multiple scratches on the screen when returned! Never using them again

Hopefully they'll do the right thing... I've found this in their Terms and Conditions:

17.8 In calculating the value of any claim we shall accept no other valuations than our original value for the Items that you may be claiming for and under no circumstances do we accept any liability for any other loss, damage or compensation resulting from our return of your Item.

Did you take any pictures of your phone before sending it off?

Although I do note they are only offering Royal Mail as an option for my iPhone if I were to trade it in but nothing for their Kiosk at the moment.

No I didn’t take photo before sending as that was my only phone at time of posting it. :(

That is exactly what I received… and asking for a photo before I posted it which I didn’t do. :(

They didn’t ask me for a photo, which I did have, but personally I don’t think it would have made a difference…
Won’t be using them again

How do you guys find the speakers on your 15 Pro Max? I find them not too loud when playing songs aloud on Apple Music or Audiobooks on Audible so I am wondering if I have a faulty handset therefore I should return it or am I being paranoid?

I think that’s quite a subjective thing but for me the speakers are much better on my 15 Pro Max than my previous iPhones including the 14 Pro Max. They’re pretty loud at maximum volume especially for phone speakers. Even one of my colleagues at work who’s into music production as a hobby commented on how great the speakers are.

Oh I find them good when music is playing but not too loud. I am just wondering if I am being paranoid and my speakers are actually fine instead of me thinking they are faulty...

If you believe your iPhone is faulty, it should be instantly replaced if its less than 30 days old right? The retailer should not ask for the phone to be sent back so they can do tests on it?

Do you have ‘Sound Check’ enabled in your Settings by any chance either?

I found Atmos/Spatial tracks for Apple Music were lower in volume than ‘bog standard’ songs and found a solution online to enable that.

Turned that on and it was better to my ears.

I received my iPhone 15 pro max yesterday and was wondering if sending it back would be affected if I broke the seals on the Apple box to check its size and weight. Please keep in mind I’ve never had to think about returning an iPhone before so I don’t know if this would impact my ability to return it to Amazon. Thank you.

I sent back an iPhone 13 mini to Amazon UK after 27 days trying to get along with it... you _should_ be fine sending it back!

Bit bullet to upgrade my 12PM to a 15PM in Black Titanium. Early Christmas present to myself.

Synceron saying it'll be delivered tomorrow but DHL saying it will be Wednesday (I'm in NI) not sure what to one to believe.

MusicMagpie prices even now are much worse than they were for the 14? Only being offered £570 odd which I've saved but I got £750 for my 14 Pro last year. Does anyone else allow saving deals in the way MusicMagpie does?
