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

[trims]

Now to decide the colour of the case...thinking plum or black for my Pacific Blue iPhone ?

Torn between a blue leather case or cheap bumper with a clear back . . . .

Nothing, currently just waiting...

Whilst being a little bit jealous I do hope they do ship them out to you. So mad with myself, I saw the cheaper price on amazon but received a call on my phone I had to take and by the time I'd finished the call they had been pulled from the site.

Surprised it’s not been leaked and reported on in the news of there screw up

They'll either send our phones on Saturday, or it'll be all over the place over the weekend.

My order still active, come on Amazon, deliver!

Any hands on pics of the leather cases yet on the internet?

They probably won’t realise there mistake until they take the payment before dispatching.

unlikely, because they pulled the phones and corrected the prices on Friday afternoon. They are aware, they just calculate the PR cost vs the financial cost.

What's the latest on the Amazon £849 orders?

I woke up to an Amazon cancellation email.. thought it was the iPhone, but it was just a subscribe & save subscription.. the hope lives on for now!

this is the longest its taken amazon to cancel an obvious price glitch well the ones i've been involved with.

I wasn't going to upgrade at all this year as i'm waiting for the 120hz refresh rate upgrade but the price was a no brainer

If they do cancel now 5 days after ordering i'll want more than the usual 10 pound voucher sorry email it'll have to be higher i'll just say no stock available anyway so i won't be getting the phone blah blah

I do have multiple pre orders with them though xbox x ps5 and accessories games etc just in the next couple of weeks alone so i'm hoping i have abit of leverage when getting some free vouchers lol

To all those people who are worried about their amazon order, why don't you talk to Amazon live chat? Just asked them what the ETA is, if they say its 100% coming then hold that against them if they cancel. Don't make it obvious that you got it at a cheaper price but just be subtle about it

It'll be the first time in a while that I'll get a white box.

This whole thread is turning into a phone case thread once again... every year. I just don’t get the people buying a case for their brand new phone, it’s like buying a nice leather sofa and then put a plastic cover on top of it?! What’s the point.

I totally understand your point of view but some of us are just too nervous about damaging our expensive iPhones, even those of us who have AppleCare+.

I’m very careful with my possessions because I like them to look as good as new. Can’t bear dings, dents and scratches. Unfortunately accidents do happen and my nerves couldn’t stand it if I were to use a very droppable item such as an iPhone without protection, particularly outside. I really wish that I didn’t care so much.

Incase anyone is with giffgaff it looks like you need to order a 5G sim. This seemed to come online on their website today. Take 2 days to arrive.... Just in time.

...the cases aren't released until November - it will be ages yet before we see hands on reviews/pics!!!

...how long were they advertising the incorrect price then?

 

[troubleonline]

I doubt Amazon is worried about bad PR over some iPhones. If the people who have ordered them for cheaper don’t want them someone else will.

Agree - and if they worried about bad PR then they might pay more taxes. Not looking to start a moral argument on Amazon though - I order from them almost weekly!

 

[UltraInstinct]

Side tracked on youtube and in my feels now... anyone else wished Apple Card and Apple Cash was in the UK? Legit would be the only credit card I'd ever want to get

Yup.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a silicone-type case that has a slight bump in the screen part. I have seen the post on the cases and I thought the Nudient might be like this? I just don't want to pay 50£ for the apple one or add something more bulkier like the dbrand one.

If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Thanks

I probably wouldn't want to do this, because it draws more attention and raises questions - which could jeopardise them actually fulfilling?

My Amazon account still has my 128GB 12 Pro as being due for delivery on Saturday.

They still haven't put the 12 Pros back on sale on the site at the correct price, which I find strange.

If they were going to cancel, surely they'd send us cancellation messages and relist the phones at the correct price.

Or, I wonder whether Apple are angry at this cock-up and are withholding stock?!

 

[mrklaw]

If I’m trading in what do Apple need back? I have my box and probably charger too, but will have use the lightning cable because those things are not durable

if I don’t need any of that I can just throw out the box in the recycling

i personally wouldn't contact them at all but obviously for others who have multiple orders from different suppliers then i can see your point in wanting to get firm information about whats happening.

One thing you learn when you do see a price glitch is just cross your fingers and hope if it happens nice surprise if it doesn't get on LC complain and try get a freebie out of them.

Those fingerprint marks

yep, that settles it for me. if i get one this year, it'll be the mini in black.

my X in an apple leather case weighs 196g, which is just a little too heavy for my liking. the 12 pro weighs 187g before adding a case, so probably ~ 210g after. my girlfriend has a 6, and whenever i've picked it up i've found it much more comfortable! the mini only weighs 4g more than that.

 

[CD3660]

Woohoo, COVID test negative! Roll on Friday for picking up my new phone!

That must be a massive relief.

Under an hour, I ordered at 1:40, and they had moved to ‘out of stock’ within a few minutes.
