No I didn't tbf. I did say amazon would honour it but there were many unbelievers. We shall see this Saturday. Gutted I didn't manage a 256 or 512 though.
If anyone is thinking of buying this, when I added the Spigen USBC white charger to the basket it gave me 50% off the charger so got the screen protectors and a 27w charger for £15

I also saw these but I'm after the Pro Max, thought Amazon would never honour the price so didn't bother. 😥
I run my own company so I've been watching at work. Got to be don't benefits!
I won't be going for the wallet. Far too easy to detach.
What case is that? Looks good.
what’s the difference between the Glass.tr and the EZ fit version ?

I probably won't be switching 5g on, as it appears to really impact battery life, even on the smart mode:
"Apple never reveals battery capacity figures for its devices, which makes it challenging to glean any insights regarding longevity from a spec sheet. Still, larger screen iPhones tend to perform decently in our custom battery test, where devices continuously surf the web over cellular at 150 nits of screen brightness.
For a bit of perspective, the iPhone 11 tallied 11 hours and 16 minutes in this test, and we deem anything over the 11 hour mark to be very good. The iPhone 12, however, averaged 8 hours and 25 minutes in the very same test, which would appear to be a significant decrease.
However, there is a deeper story here. Like the iPhone 11, Apple rates the iPhone 12 for an identical 17 hours of video playback, along with 65 hours of audio. However, the iPhone 11 didn’t have 5G to contend with. And when we ran our test again with 5G switched off in favor of LTE, the iPhone 12 performed better — a lot better.
The iPhone 12 lasted 10 hours and 23 minutes on 4G — two hours longer than its 5G time. If we had to guess, the culprit could be that 5G consumes more power, or that the limited span of 5G networks makes it difficult for the iPhone 12 to maintain a consistent 5G connection, forcing it to switch back and forth between 5G and 4G. It could very well be a combination of both factors, as we noticed some switching in our testing, but ultimately it’s too early to conclusively say what the culprits are." Tom's Guide

im leaving my Apple order for now. It’s due Friday and I’m still not overly confident of Amazon coming through.
The 12 could also have been indexing whilst it was initially used on 5g. They could also have been playing around with it a lot more.
Other reviews says it holds the battery life well.

I would cancel only if they were shipping on the same day; now i need to get the apple one on Friday,which I’ll return once i get the amazon on Saturday.
Some reviews read like adverts - I think many are worried that they won't be given review units next time if they are too critical. Haven't come across any others that are publishing raw numbers from tests, but would be interested if you've seen any?
Time for another futile attempt at sleeping...
Right or not, it works!
I upgraded to a 100GB £20pm the other day, then realised I was eligible for student discount so immediately upgraded again to 200GB for £25, reduced to £20.
I'm literally in the same boat as you trust me...I need for it to be Friday...like NEED
My launch day iPhone 11 Pro from Amazon arrived by Royal Mail if that helps
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered the charger. FYI you don't need to add the screen protectors to get a 50% discount.

I’m on call for Apple Card as an SRE next week, so no rest for the wicked!
I’ve obviously missed this joke - is this another ‘Francis’ joke.....?!
Honestly I love your enthusiasm and I’m jealous of the way you feel. It reminds me of my nights before the very first iPhone launches. It gets less exciting year after year for me.
