Yeah it will and in the shop you need to be able to pass a credit check with two active loans ( If you haven’t paid the original IUP off before you pick the new phone up)

Thanks. The existing loan is under my hubby’s name. I was declined because Barclays didn’t like my email address! Will be starting It under my name this time.
 
Happy Amazon prime day!

So I can view a packing slip on my Amazon order but not an invoice, payment still pending on my card and the order not yet marked as dispatched. Unless it was on a plane in the middle of the night and Amazon is slow at updating the status, I can’t see it getting to N.Ireland by 8pm tonight.
 
I find it bizarre how I’ve set my new phone up but now have to wait until Monday to transfer my number because Vodafone don’t do it at weekends lol. You’d think it would be automated in this day and age.

Do you already have the new eSIM, ie, the QR code?
I hope it doesn’t work then same way with EE...
 
Has anyone ordered ESR protector for the max? I can’t see them listed but wasn’t sure if they’ve ever been made available yet.
 
Anyone tried recording in Dolby Vision and streaming via Airplay to an LGC9? According to the Verge a lot of TVs are struggling with the codec format Apple is using for Dolby Vision during payback.
 
Jeez - what a slip-up! Considering the volume of stuff pinging around I'm surprised it all works as well as it does - modern Logistics is mind-blowing ...

I've bailed on Argos personally, no confidence it'd happen. My order on Weds never moved from "Sit Tight!" (equivalent to Apple 'Preparing for Despatch') whilst they were adamant it'd be out today as late as 0900 this morning. They did however do an instant credit back to my PayPal whilst I was on Live Chat with them, so that's something positive ...

John Lewis have now come up trumps for a Waitrose store collection tomorrow. Confirmation said collect from 4PM & the order status page now says 2PM so looking better now.

John Lewis have come through - text at 0917AM to say it's ready to collect at my local Waitrose - w00t!

I have to admit I’m a little jealous of what folks in the US are able to get with mmWave 5G on Verizon! I hope it comes to the UK in the future.

Yeah those download speeds are phenomenal. The US even have a designated groove along the side of their iPhone 12's, specially designed for mmWave 5G.

However, it's been a difficult roll out in the US due signal inconsistencies within a few thousand feet - even outdoors those with mmwave 5G might not find a signal from one street corner to the next. This is why the other US networks didn't all jump on-board straight away. Interesting article here:


Be great if those blazing speeds do come to the UK but unlikely to happen in its current state.

I’ll have a try later. sounds like quite a few sets might need updates. Not a surprise to see Apple use formats that aren’t widely supported. Often puts me off using them and hten I forget they’re there. I still avoid HEIF / HEVC because when they first started (iphone X?) they woudln’t work on windows transparently. Still not sure if its completely safe to enable them. I’d like to capture in the best quality for posterity but not at the expense of being able to play anywhere (and share with family who can do the same)

semi related question - does the youtube app support HDR on the 12/pro? was checking yesterday and couldn’t notice it changing the screen or the option popping up in the videos
 
well my amazon delivery has been delayed further from today to 6 november and now it says i should get it between 13 november to the december 16 according to my account and email.

I can see amazon now not honouring these as time passes and wouldn't be surpised to see it cancelled by them quietly at some point.
 
DPD are delivering at 10.40 to 11.40 which is the exact same time as my daughters swimming lesson, if I change to deliver to a neighbour does it change the delivery date?

I’d be pretty upset if amazon did that considering the amount of phones they have honoured. I’d get on to live chat maybe and make it clear you are willing to wait at that price so you have proof, they surely can’t use the excuse they can’t get hold of more stock which is usually there go to excuse for cancelling.
 
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)?

Pacific Blue with Plum case here. Had to prop it on the Magic Keyboard for the side shot!

I'm going to leave it for the time being see if any updates happen i've taken a screenshot of the order but any CS can cancel an order so i'm just leaving it for the time being.

They have probably fulfilled the majority of the orders now got the goodwill from customers maybe even afew headlines in the media then the reamaining orders quietly cancelled in afew weeks times.
