Still got no idea what colour mini to order 😬

Personally I’m going for the blue Mini 256GB. I had a look at the 12 and 12Pros a couple of weeks ago in-store. Didn’t actually like the Pro’s Pacific Blue, it seemed quite a muddy, dark shade to me. The 12 blue was rich and vibrant, the aluminium was a very similar shade to my blue Watch 6 and the glass back is bright blue. I also actually preferred the matt metal sides and gloss back to the opposites on the Pro, and being noticeably lighter weight was a bonus too.
My second choice would be black (maybe a throwback to my jet black 7). Wasn’t a fan of the white or green and the red shade looks quite washed out and orange this year.

Need to sell my 11 pro max and cancel/payoff iUP, I have a scratch in the screen, does anyone know if Apple are doing repairs?

I just rang EE the advisor was not having it and advised to ring at 12:55pm lol
 
I think the first one....most people went for the 12 as it came out earlier. I did too (got lucky with amazon) but I can't get on with the smaller phone. So max it is for me at 1.

Can't tell if the thread is quiet because not many are waiting for the Max or if everyone is so excited they can't type a post

I think both the 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini fall into a more niche category of buyers than the usual 12/12 Pro buyers so there is definitely a lot less of us! That should help with getting in early with pre-orders as it's nervous/tense for all!

I think less people probably although the 12 Pro Max will be the first larger I've had since 7 Plus which back then I found too big haha!! Am also always driven to the model with best camera functions.
 
Just had my 20W USB-C charger turn up. Wasn’t supposed to be here till Monday as there was no point paying £4.50 for delivery today. Only ordered about 6:30pm last night as well. Good ol’ Apple :)

Yeah, here’s hoping we all get what we want, mine’s waiting in my favourites on the App, let’s hope it all goes smoothly and this time next week we all get our shiny new phones.

Good luck :cool:

With the new industrial design this years Max should be better to hold than the 7 Plus. I also found that a bit wieldy! Lol That jet black colour was stealth though!

Best camera features are most important for me too. I also prefer the larger size due to battery life and screen real estate so gotta go with the Max! Actually sweet spot in size for me is 5.8 inches but I like the best cameras as I do videography.

Anybody know why some Apple products on Amazon are available to ship in just a matter of days vs ordering the same product from Apple, which arrives in a month??

As an example, Apple‘s new iPad Air doesn’t ship until around 20th November if ordered direct from Apple but on Amazon, the same model ships in just 2 days (same price) ??!

Sorry for being off topic but thought I’d ask here as there are SO many helpful people here! 😌

its probably they have their own allocated stock, just like any other retailer. although its Apple's official store, just like Apple has official stores in john lewis etc. its still going through Amazons warehouses probably

I hate this I dunno what to do with not having the update plan do I do it with ee? Argh
 
I've locked in a price of £606 (iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb) with O2 Recycle, although I'll probably spend a few quid on Special Delivery to make sure it arrives there with a signature etc. For those of you looking around to sell your old devices, I'd take a look at them :)

Good luck to all of you for the next hour (or so!)

Is there any benefit in using the Shortcut I created when I placed my pre-approval? Or is opening/closing the app the best way to get in on time?
Click to expand...
I think open/close the app is the safest bet if it was anything like last time...however if its online bang at 1pm then the shortcut should do just fine I think
