Other UK iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max (2020) Orders and Dispatch Thread

Cancelling anytime now would be ridiculous. How many days someone would lose to go and order now from Apple or anywhere else?
Once shipped; or your card is charged*, you are clear!
*In theory because card charging should occur at roughly the same time as dispatch.
So I got my case today and the MagSafe charger. It automatically finds the sweet spot on the case very easily as you drop it onto it.
Interesting that he/she joined at 11:30 and then fired off numerous troll posts all of which contained an expletive using asterisks.
How hard is it to detach / separate?So I got my case today and the MagSafe charger. It automatically finds the sweet spot on the case very easily as you drop it onto it.
My main worry with them is how “helpful” they’ll be if there’s a small defect on the phone even though distance selling regs will mean you can return without giving a reason within 14 days...my brother had a nightmare with John Lewis to get a new iPhone Pro last year after the one he got had a scratch on it straight out of the box (he eventually did). The peace of mind from getting it from Apple is you won’t hopefully experience that.
If you pick the phone up the MagSafe comes with it, so either pull it off or hold a finger on the cable as you lift the case off works. Not sure if it will hold even harder when the phone is in the case also.
Even if you are charged and the item is despatched, I seem to recall a retailer can recall it if a genuine error has been made?
I’d like to see more of the banter.
Not to the extent of Reddit level tho.
TBH, I am quite peaceful reading in MR rather than Reddit. It is very organised as thread are in location/provider related and feeding me the relevant info.
Used to follow PS5 Pre-order thread in Reddit and I and the rest felt left out apart from US Target store customers and there is no proper moderation there as well. It is like whoever can shout loudest will have attention.
In this thread, people are quite helpful and very civil

So it’s a two-handed operation? Worth knowing in advance.
Did they indicate what the discount was for? i.e loyalty? Its always worth having a look at your bill to see how they broke down the price to get an indication how the discount was applied. I used that as an argument with them on chat that there was still room for a further 'loyalty' discount to be applied. They said no, so i asked for my PAC and magically they found a way to apply a further discount
This, even with my local Apple Reseller.
Who remembers the 2015 MacBook pro screen coating peeling off? Both Apple and Stormfront passed the buck to each other over who was responsible for the payments. All well and good until they are 40 miles apart! In the end, Stormfront refused to pay, essentially the Stormfront warranty is not worth the paper it is written on.
It was not my computer, but when they tried to make up pieces of law to my father, pretending to be in a position of knowledge to make the coating peel his fault, I washed my hands of them. I quoted their own terms over the phone and they were still holding onto no liability.
Generally, if you pretend to be from the legal department to get rid of a customer and makeup regs to cause seniors to pay more, they have a name for that practise!

...is the silicone slippery ? How much grip is there? I don't normally go for Apple's silicone cases as I find they get very slippery and tend to attract loads of lint when placed in denim jeans pockets.
Feels slightly silky feel, but so did my 11 case when it was new, it seemed to loose that feel and feels good in the hand, so I think this case will act the same way.
Once you are invoiced at shipping this is final, you have paid the invoice. The same regulations prevent retailers from selling you a £5 Tshirt, and a year later stating that you should have paid £150. To take it further would be court action and no retailer would take you to court over £200.
Edit: I have never practised so am open to hearing stories to the contrary!

My invoice form them says the cost of the phone (price less trade in) is secured by Barclays Finance and the trade in is £80 (iphone7) secured by my debit card. So basically if I don't return my phone they will take £80 off my card and the payments stay the same. The finance is only approved for in my case £1118.00 which is iPhone Pro 128GB + AppleCare minus the trade in. They will take the £80 off my card if i don't return the phone and the payments will stay the same.
I just hope I do get that much though! Hahah I need £640 to pay off this 11 pro then I’m good
Just want to share. Sharp edge and flat screen looks big brother of iPh4. It looks so sexy
Been with EE for about 4 years now, didn't want to leave, requested PAC, they still didn't want to budge. Rang them finally today and I went on the 'full works' SIM normally £41 but he applied a £5/month loyalty discount so £36. That gives unlimited 5g data, calls and texts, BT Sports Ultimate and 3 smart benefits. Using them for Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Arcade for now. I was paying £10/mth for Music, £15 for BT sports large screen and Apple TV just coming to the payment time. All in all quite a good deal if you look at it that £36 includes £30 roughly of stuff I was paying for in addition to my previous £26/mth contract.
Thanks - that makes sense then with what others have said. Would be nice if Apple Store support actually knew what they were talking about!!!
