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

[Metrosey]

Do you really need to spend that much?

Manfrotto is a quality make, and this one gets some great reviews but is a bit more than you said.

I’ve honestly got no idea on tripod costs, so I mentioned £100 as a soft limit.

I wonder what Boris’ announcement will mean for delivery on Friday 13th and thereafter?

Can’t see why it should be affected.

The only problem, perhaps, is the added demand for home delivery, and therefore added pressure on the couriers.

I’m pretty sure they can adapt especially as they would be anyways for holiday season.

If you look at Amazon there are many perfectly good tripods for a lot less than £100.

You would have thought so.

Boris says “click and collect” will remain open, so let’s see if apple use this for the iup launch day ?

 

[widestload]

I’m sure I heard Borris say click and collect services could remain available. I wonder if pre-orders could count as that, even if the rest of the store’s functions were shut?

 

[Oblivion1337]

I hope click and collect services will ease the courier’s workload. And hope the in-store collection stocks moved to Click+Collect services like lockers. Not sure how they going to arrange that tho.

I am not very preferred to home delivery as delivery window slippage

Yep, I was going to ask this. Obviously there's bigger things to worry about right now but was planning to get the Pro Max on the IUP. Not sure I'll be able to now!

Perhaps Apple will open more Express Checkouts like they have at 2 stores in London. and then rename them Click + Collect. 😂

I think this is click and collect for essential items.
I can’t see Apple Store click and collect being allowed.

I love your thought

That would seem logical unfortunately.

Maybe there is a chance based on logic. This country isn’t logical so could happen!!!

Is there anyway to get the new iPhone on the upgrade plan as the stores are shut would it be able to do it online at all

 

[pennbank]

My first world dilemma is whether to keep the silicone case and my MagSafe charger order (total cost = £88) or whether to return them and stick with the Ringke onyx which cost me £7.99. Hmm...

Gave both mine back, but it may be amicable for your needs !

If this was the US, it would have been done all online. Alas...no.

AppleInsider just confirmed all Apple stores will close from Thursday.

 

[Lyn2012]

In Spain during the spring lockdown IT shops were considered essential businesses. I’ve no idea about Apple stores though as there aren’t any in the Canaries.

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Well this is gonna screw the Max launch day up in arms

Is that just England? Scotland isn’t in full lockdown. My region in Scotland is Tier 3 which means non-essential retail is still open.

EDIT: Just read it

“The new lockdown will effectively force 33 of the UK's 38 Apple Stores to close from Thursday onward. Of the remainder, Cardiff's St Davids's 2 Apple Store in Wales and Belfast's Victoria Square location are already closed, while Glasgow and Edinburgh stores will remain open.”

Only in the England (sounds weird saying it) so used to the PM being in-full control of the UK.

Well, you should be ok... unless Nicola steps in and stymies you.

 

[CD3660]

Wales will be ok too as they come out of “firebreak” on the 9th November. Supposedly.
