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

Ever the optimist. 👍🏼

I try.

Interestingly my app just changed - and no longer shows the "we will send you 2 reminders" at bottom of page, but now just a disabled 'Buy' button. Wonder if the pre-approval process is incoming. Fingers crossed!!

Same - we shall see what happens next.

Still no info on extended returns from Apple? Buying a mini for Christmas present but want a return/exchange option in case they want a different colour or a regular 12 (if they pay the difference themselves)

I will be applying for a return on my Pro on 5th Nov so be interesting how’s it’s returned coz it was a store pick up

If they adopt the same approach as they did in the first lockdown you’ll be ok until the stores reopen. This could be January because I have a sneaking suspicion that the 2nd December will just see an extension of lockdown. Hopefully not.

Ooh, there's movement on the way.

Anyone know if you wanted to pay for the device in full if you could save it as a favourite before the store went down like you could if you'd applied for finance?

 

[ascender]

Par for the course. Apple’s trade in prices are rock bottom. An insult really.

Normally I'd agree, but Apple are offering £550 for my 11 Pro which is more than the usual resale sites, even with the extra voucher money at Music Magpie.

That’s very interesting and quite surprising in fact.

They gave the highest quote for my trade-in too. Was surprised to be honest.

Yes you can. Not sure what difference it makes in reality though.

You can do - and then just click on it straight away as soon as you get into the app store on Friday.

That’s what I thought too but it didn’t work that way for me with the 12 Pro orders. It took me several minutes to get onto the App and then I had to go through the configuration process.

Ah, ok. I was hoping that you could save the config and then just click on it to order when pre-orders go live. Save some valuable seconds and increase the chances of a launch day handset.

Did we ever conclude if the pre-approval process on the Apple Store app involves a “soft” or ”hard” credit check ? i’m a little undecided on the Pro Max, would like to see the (video) reviews to get an idea on just how big / manageable it is. They won’t be out until middle of next week though.

 

[CD3660]

I think you can to be fair. I must have just done it wrong last time. Doh!

What I would definitely advise is to check that your billing details and delivery address are all up to date and in order.

Update on my dealings with ReBuy.

it was picked up by DPD on Friday. ReBuy notified me this morning that they’d got it and now I’ve just received notice from them that they don’t agree with my assessment of “Like New”. As follows:

​ Action Required.​ Your order (*******) has now been assessed and unfortunately it does not meet our quality standards. Our engineers have found the following problem with your device: The screen, frame and back cover are noticeably scratched. Not to worry, we can still purchase your device - please see the revised value below:​

​ ​ iPhone X 256GB​ ​ £367.00​ ​ Revised offer:​ ​ £335.00​

My eyes must be defective because I honestly couldn’t see ANY scratches at all.

Oh well, I’m not too bothered as it’s still £5 more than MusicMagpie offered so I’ve accepted the revised offer.

Thats not good. My phone is mint. DPD pick it up tomorrow to deliver to Rebuy. I will photograph it as its being packaged and challenge them if they said its scratched.

Same for my iPhone 11, £400 on Apple and £390 with MM. £350 with Rebuy

I saved my max as a favourite before the standard pros went on sale.

No I dont think you can. I have a phone saved as a favourite but the purchase process will still be as laborious. It would be useful if we could set everything on as a pre-order page and hit the 'Buy' button on friday

 

[SayCheese]

How do you do that?

I photographed mine. Looked ok to me but I’m not going to quibble over £32.

This is the attention to detail we appreciate on this forum 😁

Yep that looks good to me. Obviously they are scamming people but as you say £32 isn't too bad

 

[AaronM5670]

How do you do that?

Press the ‘❤️‘ symbol at the top right of the page on the Apple Store app once you’ve chosen.

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

it’s on a 0% credit card so no biggie when the refund goes through
