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

[RossMc]

Haha well done!

I’ve been harping on about this for years. Don’t just hand tour phone back to Apple, you’re throwing money away!

Good even Apple are telling you not to! Apple don’t give the best price and you’ll get a few more Bob from others.


Saying that Music Magpie have moved my £640 into my account and now time to pay off Barclays

I honestly didn’t know you could do it I was ready to just hand them my phone back and pay the £69 until he said there was two options.

He told me that the person who serves you should always tell you about that option if your loan value is less than their trade in value so I’ll be doing it every year now but next year I might look about to find the best trade in value.

On another note 5G speeds are like 3x faster than my home WiFi 🧐

And how does this app (on your watch) know the wind speed. I need this app

It's just the standard wind app from Apple weather I believe

Did you collect from Apple Trafford Centre? If so, how busy was it this evening? Pretty quiet first thing but I expect it will have got busier throughout the day, up to store capacity with precautions.

It was pretty quiet, and I was served quickly. I got there about 30 minutes early and saw there was a queue of about 15 people. I asked if I should start queuing now, or come back. They said that queue will disappear in a few minutes, so come back 5 minutes before my check-in time. I came back and there were three people there. I was in, served, had a screen protector installed, and back out before the end of my 15 minute window!

Anyone know what the protocol is for returning stuff to the store? Not into my silicone case so want to return it in store tomorrow.

 

[Jinjin]

Quick question .. does anyone have a clue from former years how quickly stock comes back into John Lewis for online purchase? .. will pop on early tomorrow morning if worth it but if they’re not going to be there I want a LIE IN!! Lol

Don’t think there was any pattern to it, pretty random. Not sure if there are still sites like istocknow are still around or track JL

 

[Volcano22]

Quick question, when do apple charge your credit card?
My order which I put through about 10 mins after preorders opened has been showing as 2 November delivery and I assumed they charge on despatch, but I just had a charge on my credit card. Is there a chance it’ll be with me before 2 November?

Mine’s just done the same! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏾

Returns as normal. Stores may be busy though

I don’t mind waiting in line, just don’t want to turn up then be told I can’t come in without an appointment lol.

Yeah stockinformer cover them, email notifs are a bit sparse but you can check manually or leave it open for sound 👍

that's how busy they may be, to require an appt.

Hmm, I can’t see anything on the Apple support or Apple store apps to book one to make a return...

Some samples of Night Mode taken in East London this evening.

There is some lens reflection (the green dots) but overall the images are amazing, in a difficult environment with the dark background but bright elements such as the lights.

Shows you the power of computational photography. Getting this combined with an accurate live preview, no processing time, and fully automatically is something you would never find on an Android device.

Anyone know when Apple One is coming? With all the phone changes today the 200GB iCloud drive is full of backups.

 

[iFone88]

Stunning pictures, Brookzy

 

[Macintosh101]

Well that didn’t work.

Bloody hard work.

Eventually managed to get 20gb (more than enough for my usage) 5G for £14 a month.

Can’t be bothered to argue anymore.

This is the experience I’ve had. Reversing and trying again like you. It wore me down in the end!

It's just the standard wind app from Apple weather I believe

But it has altitude etc too....

 

[evo123]

great shots. do you have to put night mode on or is this all automatic?

 

[Kerry78]

Such a lovely colour phone ❤️

 

[Macintosh101]

Ok, I have a problem with my 12 Pro but not sure if I have a defective unit or it’s because of the new modem and software.

On my 11 Pro, I used to get 2 bars of signal and 4G in the basement of my flat. On the 12 Pro, I get no signal and when I do manage to get it, I only get 3G and not 4G.

Anyone else having a problem like this where signal and speed have noticeably changed?

not sure where your based, but my signal and data download speeds were appalling today on my new iPhone 12 Pro (I’m in south east London) and it was raining heavily outside. Once the rain passed the signal improved drastically.

 

[Thoradin]

Not the most natural of light, but I really like the green. It's a minty green really and different to the 11 in green.

Thanks, that colour looks like it needs a bit more love around here.
It looks like a VERY subtle minty green, I actually prefer it to the blue if I’m honest.
Hope you enjoy!

I'm doing a direct transfer. I've had backups turned off for a while now (facepalm). Maybe I should do a backup and restore from it?

I had problems transferring directly from one phone to the other, and although it eventually completed, I had several widgets missing.

In the end I decided to restore from a back up that I had done this morning. It worked perfectly and completed much more quickly.

 

[Peterpandy]

Had a play with night mode after dark, notice a difference from the 11 pro, the lights in this park are quite dim and pics had much more noise on the 11 pro at night.

 

[George_A]

My DHL package is literally arms length away from me and not even touched the box.... so proud of myself but tomorrow all bets are off no delays at all in unboxing!!

Was yours yellowish before the restore then?

you can unbox tonight and cancel your amazon order 😛

Nice photos man!

There’s a small part of me that misses going past those every day on the DLR, perhaps it’s the normality I miss more.

 

[Dog182]

Monies just received for this. Great system.

Awesome may look at that next year thanks for the recommendation
