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

First impressions are that 6.1” is the perfect Goldilocks size - noticeably bigger than the 5.8” but still able to use one handed. I love it!

Only thing that is bothering me is the permanent location services arrow next to the time, never noticed this before ios14 and find it annoying. Is there any way to turn it off without disabling location services? Seems to be related to the weather app or widget.

One of my continuing achievements is that when I ask Siri what the weather's like I get the reply that he doesn't know where I am

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

I thought I was done. The woman I spoke to said the plan I’d signed up to was definitely 5G about three times. Got the confirmation email. It was 4G. Back on the phone I had to go.

Where?

Pages 349 & 350

Anyone with any ideas how else I can set the phone up?

How crucial is the restore? Would you be able to set as new and download apps again?

Amazon ordered dispatched! Hermes just waiting for the parcel and due for delivery tomorrow

 

[Vindallo1]

Still in two minds about AppleCare.

So I used to be a lurker but today was my first official launch day iPhone order and I still will follow and contribute to the thread but I wanted to thank all for the questions, the answers and all the pictures!

I was going to take a pic of the Apple store today while I was there but was conscious people would thing what the f*%k is he doing lol

 

[philipc121]

Not spent a lot of time with it yet this evening (12 Pro, Silver), but this is a seriously nice bit of kit!

Hope those who’ve got theirs already are enjoying them & that those who are still waiting get them soon!!!

Still in two minds about AppleCare.

Same. I have insurance anyway but wanted the extra piece of mind.

 

[Fried_Gold]

If I decide to add apple care do I have to go in store for them to make sure my phones not messed up? Seem to remember that being a thing...

You can actually just do it from the settings page. Pay monthly or one go

Another Amazon dispatch for tomorrow delivery, 12 Pro Graphite 256, but with Hermes... do they give any delivery estimate / hour slot?

 

[AppleRus]

How do night time pictures look on the normal 12 and the 12 pro? Is there a huge difference?

 

[RossMc]

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.

Yeah they told me it was depending on approval for a second loan running at the same time luckily they accepted mine otherwise I would have had to do the same

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?

I got this one the upgraded Anker Nano 20W if you’re happy with just one port

Ahh yeah I see the setting, so I literally just pick monthly or full up front and it’s done? Seem to remember you having to go in store for them to look at your phone in the past.

 

[Hatton920]

Tried adding apple care but says my post code is invalid??? Grrr

 

[Azzin]

Can anyone suggest a decent slim clear case for the iPhone 12 / Pro that has a small lip for screen protection. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you don't need to do that anymore. I think it just does a remote system check.

Anyone got the plum or blue silicone cases on their phones and can take a pic of them please (especially with a pacific blue pro)?

So today I did a test on 5G and got 94.2mbps on EE

at home on 4G I got this:

Literally scrolling through comments here trying to understand when my 12 Pro will ship and I get the dispatch email from Apple saying it's out.

Anyone here know what courier Apple use in the UK for iPhones and if it's dispatched tonight (10:45PM), any chance it'll be here tomorrow? Anyone else pre-ordered directly from Apple and have their device already?

 

[iphonehype]

Amazon dispatched!

 

[jonpeat]

Amazon order dispatched. Can’t believe it. £450 discount, the first time I’ve received a price mistake from Amazon. Thanks to the original op.

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Does anyone know if I can get some sort of protective sticker for the stainless steel edges? To my horror even though my 11 pro has been in a case since day one it has tones of micro scratches sigh
