Judging from those that ordered the bargin 12 Pros last time round, I think amazon pulled through and delivered on the expected date which was either the Saturday or Monday depending on delivery method chosen

Just got the California Poppy case for 12PM from Amazon. This baby is a beast, especially coming from 11P 5.8” 😱 Always had Plus sized iPhones until 11P, and I prefer the smaller size, but I always go for the best camera, so...
However, I admit looking at the size of this case I feel quite excited of having again such a huge screen for content consumption 😍
The feel of this case is soft and luxurious, the colour is gorgeous, just hope it doesn’t age as badly as the only previous leather case I had from Apple (red for iPhone 6 Plus), which turned black after a few weeks and I stopped using. I’ve also ordered the Baltic Blue case, and it’s this forum to blame as I’ve never bought more than 1 case for my iPhone (except for the 6Plus) 🙈
Also got email from Barclays confirming the finance, never bothered replying to the text...

Although I have one coming from Apple on Friday I am waiting to bag one from Amazon then I can pay over 5 months. I don’t need 512mb though so will not pay an extra £300 for something not needed
Wonder where this stock has come from - cancellations maybe....

Its not hugely bigger then. My thoughts are that if you put a leather case on your XS Max, it would barely fit inside the 12 pro Max case
Jumped on the California Poppy bandwagon and ordered off Amazon
Colour looks proper lush

My local apple store has had Baltic blue leather wallets ready for same day collection for a couple weeks now!
John Lewis go live at 8:00am on launch day. They never do pre-orders. You've got to be quick to place your order - already be logged into your JL account with payment set up so your good to go.
I bought a 12 Pro for my other half from Apple but tracked John Lewis online this year just out of interest. If I recall by around between 8:03am and 8:06am they had sold out of all 12 Pro colours in all sizes.
To add that if you do order from John Lewis you can either choose delivery or next day click and collect from a Waitrose or John Lewis. That helps.
In my opinion John Lewis are best way to buy on launch day apart from Apple as their customer services rock plus you get a 2 year guarantee on the iPhone. I personally would never buy from Currys, Very, AO etc as I find John Lewis a step up with quality of customer services and easy return / replacement if anything goes wrong.
For pre-orders, best to go with Apple or Amazon - who currently have stock in as others have said.
Agreed. JL was my backup plan and you get a 2 yr guarantee. I believe they go live at 8am.
I always consider jl for the 2 year guarantee but as I upgrade every year it’s pointless, so buy from whoever can get it to me on release day then deal direct with Apple if any problems
That makes a change.
Car makers used to be notoriously behind the curve when it came to integrating mobile phone technology. My 2005 330D has a kit for a Motorola V50 of all things, a phone released 5 years before the car was made!
I’m hoping to upgrade it early next year with a MagSafe charger and CarPlay though as I’m hoping to have the opportunity to actually use it again next summer 😂
I am with EE but I find better deals by going sim only as I upgrade my phone every year. I do find their upgrade options are more expensive and they lock you in for a 24 months contract. Also the iPhone is locked to EE for the first 18 months.
Two updates this morning:
California Poppy case is due within the hour and my AppleCare+ has confirmed a build date of W43.
In other news - has anyone ever pre ordered from Stormfront?

Was 8 AM on launch day! And if you use the app to save anything you want into your wish list; and add any cases or other bits to the basket, you can complete the payment within a minute. That's how I got my 256GB Silver Pro, which was possibly the configuration in the shortest supply.

I just upgraded my sim only plan on EE.
I got a good deal but not as good as some people on here who managed to get further % discount on the same plan. The guy at EE said he couldn’t do it but did offer to reduce my second line by £1 and increase the data on it.
With EE you can request after 6 months for them to unlock it for £8 I think. From December 2021 this will be a thing of the past as networks won’t be allowed to lock phones anymore.
My Work scheme uses stormfront as its supplier and it Has been fine the couple times I’ve used it although never for a pre order. I was going to use it for my 12 PM but they aren’t guaranteeing delivery before Xmas 😬
Probably won't get a date confirmed until Tuesday or Wednesday. it was the same with the iPad Pro upgrade I did earlier this year for launch dayAnyone ordered through EE given a date for delivery?
I was assured by the Customer service I'm getting mine on on Friday, tracking still shows:
Expected Delivery: Yet to be confirmed!
I got 3x sharer sims piggy backing off of my main sim, they only cost me £9 each. So I really only have to focus on getting the best deal on my sim.
£8 of unnecessary cost and inconvenience caused. But if networks are not allowed to sell locked phones later, good news for all.
Not at all. It’s like any loan.
You get checked for eligibility but it’s not until you purchase the product that the full application goes through and you are accepted/declined.
If you apply for a bank loan that is advertised at 3% APR and it comes back you’re eligible, it sounds great. But it’s not until you purchase the product that they run the full credit check and then you’ll either get the product as advertised, get the product but at a higher interest rate (depending on circumstances) or be declined.
Very basic and standard across the board with any form of loan.
In this case, it’s not Apple or Barclays fault; the applicant will have something wrong with his/her details on the application or not have a good enough credit history. The fact they had a loan with Barclays/Apple beforehand doesnt come into it as it’s a fresh application

Could be these ones as they are for sale on the ee site and normally the free gifts are also available to buy https://shop.ee.co.uk/add-to-plan/jbl-t110bt-wireless-headphones dont know if they're good or ****
I wonder if new phones ship with iOS 14.2 and is it best to update software on my current phone or leave it on 14.1?
Just ordered the California poppy for my graphite 12pro max coming Friday.
Now I’m tempted to get the watch strap to match but it’s £100... ouch
