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

[thekashmiriking]

I was in the same boat.

I got my new phone coming on Friday as well. I actually called up Barclays and paid off the full balance. Then booked my phone with rebuy for collection on 20 Nov, after collection I will call Apple to cancel my previous AC+, hopefully a refund will be issued and sent to Barclays, which they should return to me 😀

Is this a thing? Can we get our AC+ refunded?

Also I've looked up the best prices and for my own 11 pro max 256gb unlocked, EE have offered the best price - just checked Rebuy and it wasn't a great price. Then i am hoping to use Carphone Warehouses trade-in promise and beat that by £10 further.

Hi everyone,

I ordered a 12 Pro Pacific Blue on 4th November and it currently says ‘arrives 26th Nofember’ and it’s still on the ‘processing’ stage. Is it likely the arrival date could change to an earlier one? 😅TIA

I had a panic earlier as the California poppy case for the 12 Pro was showing out of stock on Amazon.
I’ve just been on now and it’s back so I grabbed one quick before it vanished again. Promised the Mrs that I’d wait until Wednesday after paying for the MOT on the BMW over the weekend, but didn’t want to miss out on it 🤣🤣

Orders seemed to go to preparing to ship very quickly this year giving you hardly any time to cancel. Not that I want to!

New user here. Hello!

Been keeping up to date with you guys since uk lockdown news struck and affected IUP this year.

i've pre-ordered the pro max pacific blue through the iPhone app with Barclays on FRI. I am still on the IUP and was very unhappy at not being able to upgrade my 11 pro max this year due to the pandemic - i know it's not really their fault but i felt they could have done more to facilitate us better. Anyway because i'm an impatient so and so - i pre-ordered with Barclays like i said before and i should be getting my phone on Friday as this is what is says on the app. Also going to be trading my current phone in somewhere and paying off the IUP loan. I cant be asked to sell it privately.

Bought a leather case from amazon with the help of links provided in this forum so thanks for that guys ! Made a saving of approx £7. That arrived on Saturday just gone.

Bought the magsafe charger from carphone warehouse because the estimated delivery everywhere else was a joke and it came the next day.

Bought a totallee transparent case and spigen screen protector from amazon so still waiting for those.

All in all, very excited to receive the phone on Friday, i even booked a day off work for it (i still work in the office) but knowing my luck it will arrive after 5PM!!

Anyway i hope everyone enjoys their individual purchases - we should all give our thoughts as soon as it comes into our hands.

Welcome to the club / mad house!

California Poppy is a stunning colour, I had a feeling it would be popular! Hoping the patina will look great on that one over time. Saddle brown is my personal favourite for patina and leather development with use.

In regards to my previous post regarding delayed three delivery.

Just spoke with them and they confirmed it should arrive between 9th - 13th! No idea why they told me 02/12/20!!!!!

Grrrrr they are trying to ruin my delivery haha!

 

[Treble]

I am still struggling to understand why people buy the wallet. It just looks too vulnerable to fall off and get lost plus with Apple Pay who uses cards!!!!

We was all thinking it and you said it get ready for the can of worms explosion 😉

Saddle brown has always been my favourite in the past, but this year I went for Plum Silicone (arrives mid next week), and California poppy leather (arrived yesterday). I'm really interested to see how the patina develops over the next year.

I couldn’t really decide between California poppy and saddle brown, but my thought process was that the saddle brown will always be available whereas the California poppy may be a ‘seasonal’ thing. Hence the grabbing it quickly.

Yep, I was also concerned the Poppy would be a seasonal colour so grabbed it from Amazon despite the fact I was all set on having a cheaper clear case this time (I currently have 2 x Spigen and 1 x ESR in the drawer).

I‘ve also got the offer a year‘s free Apple TV via my new iPhone 12. Is there anything actually worth watching on there (I already have Netflix and Disney Plus) as I can’t see that there is (I don’t recognise ANY of the shows in the ‘Free Apple TV for a year’ promo email I received from Apple!)?!

Ted Lasso is well worth watching 😀

Do we stick around the forum after Friday to see who is returning the wallet!!!??!
Maybe thats what the poll can change to!!!

 

[Marky811]

Update: check your bank accounts/cards folks, next stage appears to be happening. Apple has taken my money this morning, been pending all weekend and now actually charged 😁

Colour is proper lush

I currently have a ‘smoke’ Ringke Fusion on my graphite 12 Pro, but as usual with flexible clear cases it’s starting to distort at the top and bottom from going in and out of my jeans. It was only temporary until the leather ones showed up anyway.

Felt kinda bored so picked up a new Apple Watch as well to go with the iPhone

NOW ANOTHER advisor is telling me its delayed to 02.12.20

[jongriff]

anyone who ordered a pro max with delivery date 23rd -30th november had any updates yet? i'm in "Processing" and no money been held/taken still. i ordered at ~4pm on the 6th.

this wait is brutal. i'm stuck using a crappy old Nokia 206 because of phone died 🙁

I was late on Friday too but got a delivery estimate of 18th that I’m hoping will under promise. Still processing, card not charged and yet I keep checking...

 

[zetti]

It will go probably today or tomorrow - I would not stress about it. It does sometimes depend on the bank too.

 

[Deeps]

My plan for the week to pass the time until Friday:

• Today: Pro Max and Mini reviews
• Tuesday: Apple Mac event
• Wednesday: Keep checking order status
• Thursday: Keep checking order status
• Friday: Keep tracking courier

Seems like a good plan! 😀

 

[troubleonline]

I ordered the clear case for my new (incoming) Pro Max and it arrived this morning 😀 Unless anyone really wants a picture of it, I'll refrain from doing so to make way for all of the leather case photos in this thread! 😂

Yes please - am considering for the gold Pro Max.

Maybe stop asking then 😉
