Just got my dispatch email too and never brought apple care plus but for £7.99 a month I might consider it if I can somehow cancel my nationwide flex £13.99 payments without changing bank accounts.

Also have the Flex plus at £13, remember you also get travel insurance and breakdown (I think) with that. Travel insurance saved me a small fortune this year due to covid.

Im sure the insurance covers more than apple care such as theft and also family members phones

Yup it does indeed and the list of insurance exclusions is an interesting read!

Anyone on a good SIM only plan with EE? I'm currently on 40GB for £11 (my account has lots of unexplained discounts on it that I don't want to ask too many questions about), but it isn't 5G.

I see Apple Music is now a smart benefit, so as I already pay a tenner a month for this, a smart benefit effectively reduces my monthly cost by £10. Anyone on a 5G plan with a smart benefit for around 20-25 a month?

I’m also on a good deal with EE - unlimited everything for £11 a month, with two swappables (the old style) - but it’s only 4g.

I’m not to bothered about getting 5g - not much chance of seeing it in my parts in the near future, and am unlikely to travel to somewhere with 5g for a while (and if I do, I don’t think it’ll be worth moving plan to have faster speeds for the rare occasions when I could get 5g).

Maybe not quite so exciting as people getting their phone today (I am bitter and jealous!) but my iPhone 12 Pro 128Gb Blue from Apple due on Wednesday 28th has just changed from Processing to Preparing to Ship.

I wonder where these ship from.

and now shipped! Though I can’t see yet where from. Must be a distance for it to ship on Friday and not be due until Wednesday!

edit: delivery has been brought forward to Monday 26th!

Just picked my 12 up from the Apple shop.

I was upgrading through the IUP but the sales person told me my 11 was worth £400 so I could trade it in with them and then I only had 260 left on my loan so I could start a new loan then phone Barclays and pay the loan from my 11 off when the money from the trade in goes into my bank so I made money upgrading I didn’t realise you could do that!

The staff at Apple tried to do this for me today and offered me £500 for my 11 Pro, sadly Barclay’s wouldn’t approve me to have 2 loans at the one time even though I was going to immediately clear the old loan. Ended up doing it the rip off way instead, the IUP.
 
Have to wait tomorrow for mine, they tried to deliver today but I was at work and couldn’t get away to intercept the delivery!

Tomorrow shouldn’t be an issue though, hope you’re all enjoying your new shiny phones!
 
Any recommendations on chargers?

I have one of these Anker ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y5RJ32B will that fast charge the 12 Pro (using my old USB A to Lightening cable), or should I go for something else?

Wow, amazing night shots being taken!

The Pixel was king of night photos but I reckon the iPhone will take it's crown this year!

Just spoke to John Lewis. If you go in through the order tracking link you were sent and it no longer shows a drop down allowing cancellation then you should get delivery tomorrow on express or Monday otherwise. They're happy to check for you by phone to if you want to confirm. Courier will be one of DPD, Royal Mail or Hermes, usually allocated about 10pm tonight and we should get a text by morning with a 2h delivery slot.

That's the Apple order cancelled now so someone else can move up the queue a bit rather than shipping it back next week.

That is one beautiful iPhone. The blue colour looks really nice too. Did you get a case with it? What iPhone did you upgrade from?

Thank you! I got a Ringke case which I believe was the Onyx.

I’ve moved from a Samsung ! So nice to be back so far

this is good but not fast.

look for something usb-c to lightning with PD capability so that you'll be able to use for magsafe if you want. Anker has various models in good price...
