We need to talk about anything to get the thread as long as possible! What are you having for dinner tonight @BlueHorizonUK? 😛

So my EE text order link now also showing delivery of my 11 Pro as 20th September though am minded to cancel that and go for my in store reservation where I'll have a choice of green or white. It was a good deal but I don't really want to up my monthly payments and looks like can now buy outright. If I can cancel will save me returning and I guess bump up delivery for someone else.

Getting really torn with the midnight green and silver now. The MG looks classy whilst the white on the Silver looks more modern and edgy I think. 🙄

I have always bought £3-5 clear or coloured phone cases from eBay. They are as good as the £45 pound ones sold by Apple, Samsung or a Google. 😀

Remember that margins on accessories are very high for phone manufacturers and phone retailers.

Some official ones are a rip off as they are made in same factory as those that cost £3-5. It’s no different than TV and home cinema stores trying to sell you £40 gold plated HDMI cable when one by Amazon essentials for a tenth of the price is just as good. 😱

I get your overall point, but there’s an argument that the materials used may differ between cases and the cost may dictate that and therefore the level of protection provided may differ..or the lifespan of the case ....yes you get a base level of protection, but there are other factors..some of the ‘cheap’ cases don’t look pleasant to me.

My wife constantly buys cheap cases off Amazon and they smash to pieces when she drops the phone... obviously not silicone ones, but you get my point.

Each to their own of course!

Your HDMI point I take issue with... I’ve had no end of problems with cheap HDMI cables that don’t do 4:4:4 properly, but that’s an entirely different thread. 🙂

If you're an annual upgrader - go for the green. its only for the next 12 months. and you can go white next year for the 12 Pro Max

Cheers - dang they are not available on Prime so I could use before I need to send X to Envirofone but have ordered fast and free on eBay instead.

I’m with Virgin now, but moving to EE where I hope the indoor signal will be somehow better even though it’s the same underlying network 🙂

WiFi Calling on EE isn’t perfect but it gives you another option if you are somewhere with bad signal. I wouldn’t want to be without it.

As a man who goes caseless, the reviews mentioning the pro being more slippy to hold than the XS has me slightly worried 😳

The only thing about Amazon is that they use part time locals to deliver and we have had parcels delivered at 7pm before.

If anyone wants to buy either the new iPhone or Watch now I would recommend Very. I used them last year and I believe they used DPD where you can upgrade the delivery time. I received the SS AW 4 on launch day when Apple were saying it would be October delivery!

With Very you can also buy now and pay later!

Well. I just bought an Osmo mobile from very and they used yodel. They also didn’t send my address through properly so it’s been a ball ache to make sure the package exists. They won’t give me information because my name is not connected to the tracking. Although it’s out for delivery today they can’t talk to me about it or I can’t change the in-flight options because in their systems I don’t exist.
 
To me as a long timer in these threads..

It’s all sorts of chatter in here and FYI we won’t stop talking about cases and whatever else we want. It’s a small community of like minded tech lovers who are having a chat. It’s a once a year meet up (for me anyway) and good to see the regulars in here still.

Hi,

I'm upgrading from a iPhone 7 128gb to a iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb, I went for the silver directly from apple.

For those of you who buy a new phone every year, has apple ever delivered a phone a day early? 🙂

I got smaller pack on eBay for £5 so not too bad to try out.

Colour wise I used to be an annual upgrader but last 2 iPhones I kept for 2 years. That said I'll probably upgrade next year if its a nice redesign or has camera improvements. Midnight Green will feel more like a change from current Silver X but I'll prob just go with what looks best (to me) in store on Friday.

I hate these Data Protection laws in this respect although am not sure I should be talking to you if you don't exist!

Does anyone know which courier Apple use and if they usually give an idea of what time they will deliver on the day?

Its all part of the fun and biding time until Friday morning when we get to share and see the phone arrival pics and unboxings 🙂

I love the all-uk flavour of this thread. I'm happy we no longer have the manic difficulty of picking up iphones like in years gone by.. remember the Telegram Bots that were needed for the 7 plus !!

@l3uddz was a legend that year with his push bullet thing!

If it's any consolation when it does eventually arrive it is excellent, ordered one from Very myself last week.

Just ordered 2 cases in prep for Friday

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WT79XLQ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (£4.19 with offer)

and

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WT79XLQ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (£10.99 - has similar lanyard strap to case am currently using and love though am a little nervous of hanging a brand new iPhone around my neck in case in case it gets bashed!)

I am sorely tempted by the Apple leather cases but I know I have bought more than once and regretted as they very quickly got dirty and scratched!
 
When I placed my order for an iPhone 11 Pro Max space grey 256GB on Friday the shipping estimate was 30 Sept - 7 October.

I’ve just logged on to gaze at my status page even though I knew it wouldn’t say anything different this early... to discover that my estimated shipping has slipped to 16-22 October.

I’ve had my iPhone 6s Plus for 4 years so a few more weeks won’t make a massive difference in the great scheme of things but I was still more than a little disappointed to see that update ☹️

I’ll be worried to log on to the status page again...!
