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

[jayvn7]

Apologies if this has been asked before but what with the Apple 14.1 release tonight does anyone know for sure if that's the same version on the 12? If it's not I don't want to update otherwise it'll screw the backup

Just seen a different iphone 12 red unboxing and it looks so different compared to one i saw earlier, much redder 🙂

Is it just me that is left waiting til between 28th October and 2nd of November for their 12 Pro? Order says processing, case came earlier today. Sold my X on Friday, and I'm battling on with a 5c....

When pre-orders went live I was trying on two devices to get the order in, and the delivery slipped....

Watching these review videos are ramping up the excitement further

Have you managed to send your phone off to rebuy yet? Can you let me know of your experience and when they pay out please. Thanks

I sent mine off this morning, DPG sent email with time slot, with tracking. DPG had packaging and box for old phone to be placed in. DPG took photo and that was it. interesting that Rebuy are Technology Recycle Group and flog loads of phones at auctions for resellers. Will let you know if i get the £367 for my iPhone X 256gb they offered.

Cant do a pickup for the MagSafe. They want a collection time slot and I want to do it Saturday. Only gives me tomorrow or Thursday.

Pick a thursday slot, accidentally oversleep and then go pick it up on Saturday. I think they keep orders for 7 days

Ordered one off Very this evening. Pick up at your local store on Friday.

Thanks. Done this but for delivery instead.

I almost bought that ‘leather’ one myself, until I saw it was PU that is.

I bought a full grain leather case from Mujjo. It’s arriving from The Netherlands so should have it fairly soon. I’ve had a Mujjo leather case on my iPhone XS for the past 2 years and it still looks fantastic Hence why I’ve gone for the same. They are 99% identical to Apple’s leather cases other than the buttons on the Mujjo which are also leather (which feel far nicer than Apple’s metallic buttons).

Well I’ve made a cock-up. Left the beta profile installed on my 11, which upgraded to 14.2.

Now I’m gonna receive a new phone this week and be unable to restore my backup, unless there’s a 14.2 beta available for the 12 Pro. What a nuisance.

I really hope Apple release a Smart Battery Case for the 12 Pro and that they do it quickly. They come in so handy especially when on journeys and with 5G expected to take up a lot of battery, would be useful.

they will still hold it. My slot was for 4:30pm today but when I check my order status it’s says please collect before 6th November

Don’t they usually release a few months later? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think they’re more focusing on wireless charging. Not sure if they will do a smart battery case. I’d buy it if they did tho.

Reading a few reviews and am now concerned about battery life. Coming from an Xr which has fantastic battery life.

I have a 3rd party leather case on my XR, not had it long as it took me a while to find a nice one and now I’m swapping phones 😂
I‘ll take a look at the Mujjo, but I quite like the look of the metallic buttons 🤔

I upgraded the other day to the 100GB deal but when I go on the EE app and plan deals it says I am still eligible to upgrade, surely that can’t be right

....my app says exactly the same thing! I also upgraded from 20GB a month to 100gb a month but the app STILL shows I am eligible to upgrade?!

I‘m scared to follow the process in the app in case it upgrades me even more!! It may just mean that we’re eligible to upgrade to actual handsets via the app?

I’ve got these protectors too. I’ve never used privacy glass protectors; do they dull the screen at all when looking face on?

Screen looks bright enough until about 30 degrees or so when it dulls out

I am starting to wonder if it will end up following into the iPhone 13 order thread at this rate 😂

Cheers.

I’ll stick one on and see what I think. Might just return them.

I was crying so much and seriously struggling to breathe when I spotted it!
The Mrs came in from the kitchen and spent ages trying to figure out what the hell I was laughing so hard about 😂

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

Spigen USB C PD 27W Fast Charger Compatible with iPhone 12 Pro Max Mini SE 2020 11 X XS XR 8 Plus iPad Air Pro Galaxy S20 Ultra FE Note 20 10 Pixel 5 4xl Nintendo Switch Type C Adapter 20W Charging https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07T634V26/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mT0JFb6PF1Z6J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thinking of getting one of these using the 50%

What’s the general feeling around this being 27w but Apple’s being 20w? Would it knacker the battery out quicker? Etc
