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

[mrklaw]

Thanks that’s really helpful!

I think I might have found a sort of less hassle loophole actually... you can trade in with Apple, provided you’ve paid off the Barclay’s amount. Apple is offering £580 for Pro Max 11 ; mazuma are now offering £570!

I will have ~£500 of payments left on the Barclays contract. Add in the AppleCare pro-rata refund and I’ll probably be ~£130 better off this way. Then can buy the 12 Pro Max on monthly 24 payments.

Issue with this is waiting for payment on trade in. Can you trade in in store though I presume?

You don’t wait for the trade in payment. Apple discounts the price of the new phone based on the estimated trade in. You then do finance on the remaining amount. So you’ll need to stump up the settlement charge and won’t get it back (you’ll get the AppleCare refund back though)

you will get smaller monthly amounts though because of that - trading in my 11 I got trade in of £400 reducing my payments to £16pm. I had to pay the 360 settlement on my 11 first then got a £90 refund from AppleCare. So net cost to me was £250. I won’t get that back but the cheaper monthly cost over the next 12 months balances it out

Can't remember the last time I had a UKMail delivery but it wasn't great, they didn't give me a window or anything. Are they better these days?

They are Now DHL Parcel. And DHL vans deliver it.

Just a note for any First Direct banking customers - don't forget to deactivate your digital secure key before you move devices! If you wipe your old device without doing that, you'll have to ring them before you can set up the banking app on your new phone.

It would appear that they take little to no notice of social media complaints, they will reply with a standard 'sorry to hear that, DM us' but they know exactly what they're doing. After all, all of that pre order cash is sitting in their accounts now... maturing nicely most likely. But anyway.. it's frustrating to see it happen again.

I don't think the money is maturing, due to interest rates, but probably the money is paying their suppliers.

Done something cheeky upgraded me EE delivery to 8:30 to 10:10am.....for a tenner.

Hope my Apple order is dispatched Via DPD an on same van too lol

Just to put it into perspective, here are the timelines of the last iPhone launch, iPhone SE 2020, preordered and got on launch day.

A mistake I make almost annually because I'm always too excited.

The only thing with setting up from new I have is my Google authenticator app that I use for work and 101 other things. There is no way to backup and restore the config.

I use Authy, I stopped using Google Authenticator when I realised it doesn't transfer over to different devices.

Yup me. Hoping I get DPD but most likely DHL. Just hope they give me an early slot and nothing like 8pm...

I take it a iOS 13 back up is useless to restore to iOS 14

can’t remember now it’s a long time since I tried

You should be good. 13 can go on 14 not other way round.

...weird that the Google Authenticator app doesn't back up to iCloud but the Microsoft one does (which I also use).

 

[WRXiceman]

Not long now...

DPD Notification arrived too! No way to upgrade delivery though yet

 

[jayjay14]

A moment of silence for our current iPhones as this looks to be the last day we fully use it (for those who get the new ones tomorrow on launch day).

Thank you to my iPhone XS. Gone but never forgotten.

Nothing here yet. It's painful.

My phone is on 14.2 beta. I’m going to have to update my 12 pro aren’t I before I use the iCloud backup and restore

I have been on a Samsung S8+ for over a month after giving my XS Max to my lad so can’t wait to ditch it

The Android version does, so hopefully it'll come to iOS soon.
