If you’ve paid 10 months off you should be eligible to upgrade. Having made reservation, you go into store with your old phone and they pay off the loan there and then with that before then taking out a new loan (with credit check) for your new phone.

if you’ve not paid 10 months, then I think the alternative is to ring Barclays and pay off over the phone, so that you own it and then you can get a new agreement.

All set up and rolling; just taken it off charge; when I get a new phone I like to charge it to 100% before I start using it.

Size feels perfect (coming from an XS Max) it feels noticeably snappier which is great! I have a fake leather case on at the moment which has a cut out at the bottom which is digging into my little finger so roll on Apple’s release of their leather cases.

I initially fitted the Spigen privacy screen protector. I like the idea of them and had never used them before. Lasted about ten minutes. I don’t like the mottled look they give then screen. I have now installed the ESR full screen protector that loads of us have bough. Perfect fit, and not one spec of dust underneath it- the benefit of peeling apples protector off and putting a glass one straight on.
 
Really impressed with the 12 Pro so far. Haven’t given it a thorough going over but coming from an X - the improvements are immediately obvious to me.

Wrapped it in a black TORRAS Ultra Thin case and an ESR screen protector. This is the first phone I’ve used a screen protector on and I’m very impressed. I was always nervous that it’d impact the quality of the screen but I really can’t tell it’s on there. The TORRAS case is really nice. I don’t plan on having it on permanently, just until I can get My hands on a silicone one. 00E530D1-45E6-46FD-9B38-9D1877B364C2.jpegB58A5D47-F5AC-4092-81C8-A45C53B3C6DC.jpegB5CE77DB-1BA8-4FA0-873F-A149952AA84E.jpeg

Apple dispatch email received at 14:13. DPD email saying they have the package received at 19:40 to be delivered Monday. Argh!

Luckily had another email from DPD this morning saying the phone was due for delivery today before 12pm. Now just waiting for my 12 Pro in PB to finish transferring data from my 8 (2 hours to go!).

How does it cover the faceid sensor at the top of the phone?
Click to expand...

it’s no different from the full coverage protectors and used on my X and 11 - I’ve never had an issue with Face ID using them and personally I’d rather go naked than use one of the protectors with the cut out

in particular with the 12 as the flat sides allows for the protector to go right up to the edge of the glass and it’s practically invisible
 
Any suggestions for the a good clear case that has a front lip for some screen protection? People have suggested torras but I’ve read mixed reviews? Anyone got any images of their phones with a good clear case they could share? Thanks

How do you see 'My Orders' in your EE account? I can't find this at all, all I have is my original order email and chat support confirming my order. Supposedly should be here within 14 days of Oct 16 but who knows, support seems to tell you anything to get rid of you lol

Have to say when I signed up, and resigned up, the info about progress was non existent! .. just the initial email/text and then nothing until it just arrived! .. this was only for a sim plan though and not a phone.
 
For those of you who are able to get 5G, how are you finding it with the battery life? A friend of mine has gone from the 11 pro max to the 12 pro and says he notices a massive difference in battery life. I thought he would anyway with the smaller phone, but he said he gets full 5G signal and if he leaves it on constantly the phone drains so much. I think he's thinking of getting a battery case when they come out in a few months time.
 
Received my Argos delivery one day late due to a mess up by the delivery company. Still yet to open the box! Can’t believe I’ve left it this long! So excited to open it. Moving from a iPhone 7 to 12 can’t wait

Does he have smart data mode on or off? I haven’t noticed a difference in battery but I’m really impressed by 5G in Sheffield

Yeah .. a few pages back someone posted a battery test video. It was really interesting but basically best of any iphone ever was the 11 Pro Max. The 11 Pro Max and the 11 both thumped the 12 and the 12 Pro. The 12 Pro Max should be better but I’m still expecting it not to be as amazingly awesome as the 11 Pro Max has been!

What happens if you fail the credit check and they’ve already taken your old phone? Lol

They work in mysterious ways haha thought with it being an upgrade I would have had somewhere to view the status of it or at least see my new plan details but all I've got is the order email.

It’s possible that they’re only offering new IUP loans if you’re already on the program and eligible to upgrade. It maybe so that they reduce the load on the stores during the pandemic.

When the pre-order page went live, I struggled to find iPhone Upgrade programme at all.

I’ve tried to do it as if I don’t have a phone on IUP already and come up with the same options as you’re seeing.
