Is there a time limit on this? I currently have an eSim on my X pro max but will be replacing it with the 12 Pro Max when that is released. Just wondering if I should order the new eSim and not wait to launch day to order

Not sure TBQHWY, may be worth checking. It only took a day or so to arrive in the post.

terrible pictures of beautiful 12 Pro just collected from John Lewis via Waitrose, pictured next to my work 8 I've been using this week. over the moon with it after all the faff 😍

was torn on whether to wait for Max, but this is perfect for me after a year with an overweight 11 Pro Max

I am on 5G unlimited plan (with 1 smart benefit) for £28/month. I’m gonna ask my sister for her student discount code so I can get 20% off and get it down to £22/month 😉

I’m on the same plan now. Someone here was kind enough to give me a 20% off student discount code which brought it down to £22.40. I don’t ever remember having unlimited data before so I’m looking forward to not having to worry about how much data I use. I’m also hoping that the 5G is at least decent where I live and especially where I work.
 
Sorry to ask this in here.
But I’m trying to update WhatsApp and bring my messages across.
When I open in my new phone it says my last iCloud backup was 28th Sept. So I backed up on my old phone which is now showing as “Last backed up: Today”. But when I try to install WhatsApp backup on new phone it is still saying the last backup is 28th Sept. Does anyone know how I can force my new phone to see the latest backup from my old one?
 
Any more reports of yellow screens or was it just a settings issue?
No problems with mine, when True Tone is turned on it has a yellow tint indoors. Walk outside and it turns white.
Turn off True Tone and its white all the time.
When laying a brand new screen next to one that’s at least a year old, there will always be differences in colour reproduction.
These things need some runtime under their belt.

Thanks! Mine is due today so 🤞🏻

Ok, this is a bit random but I just tried Wirelessly charging my 12 using my standard Qi charger and it’s not working? Do I need a MagSafe one now?

I have this one from Amazon and it worked fine overnight, I had to change the position slightly from how my XR used to sit though.

Muscle memory is a thing. Crazy as it is my finger keeps going to the top for the power button because the phone shape is basically that of the 5 and that’s where the power button was on the five.

Bought one of the triple pack ESR kits from Amazon and I've just fitted it to the wife's 12 Pro.

Alignment guide worked like a charm and there is only the tiniest speck of dust that's imperceptible in use.

£6.29 with a discount and there's 2x protectors remaining. Now kinda glad Apple and Belkin didn't have theirs in stock yesterday!
 
Amazon and my new iPad Air 4 from AO delivered within a few minutes of each other.

Many thanks to everyone on here for the info and moral support whilst we waited!

I’ve made a donation to FareShare UK out of the savings, I appreciate how fortunate I am to be in a stable and well paid job at a time like this, and to be able to afford nice things.

Off to set up, have a fun day with your phones everyone!

Just checked after you mentioned and yes I have 42Gb of other. That’s after a whole night on charger sorting itself out.

Don’t say have to start again from fresh? I did a restore.

I erased the phone and restored from
iCloud again - but same issue as other storage is filling up. Didn’t have this issue on my iPhone 11 Pro - so maybe it’s a software bug with iPhone 12’s or iOS 14.1?! If anyone has a fix please let me know. Thanks

This is heartwarming. I did the same with the Trussell Trust. Thanks for pointing out FareShare, I’ll go have a look at them now. Enjoy your phone!

This is really lovely to hear. If everyone who benefitted from the reduced price did the same, that would be quite an impact!
