Which Model are you getting?

What is everyone’s set-up routine? Do you restore from back-up so everything was as your previous iPhone? Or do you set-up as new iPhone and slowly build it back up?

I’m very tempted to do the latter so it can grow organically as I use it. I think also it will feel more like an upgrade and new phone that way. Are there any negatives to this approach? I’ve got photos backed up to iCloud, along with pretty much everything else.

Going as new again

New here too setup wise.
Usually do a new as grows as I need, but I have found myself a couple of times needing to download parking apps just to park the car.

Might go for restore but then check the "offload unused apps" toggle
 
I always do back ups. Really can’t be bothered resetting up all my email accounts work / personal, plus any game progresses that don’t use iCloud as storage. Just easier to restore then sort out any unused any apps etc and general clean up.

When will retailers reduce prices of previous models? Argos etc advertising pre orders today but everything else still old price, some have reduced prices like Amazon but they now have the likes of the XR more expensive than the 11. Trying to pick up some phones for the kids for Xmas.

Go in the EE app on your current device. Click on settings then Device and SIM swap then Replace my Sim. Choose the number you want it for. You then get the following options.

The key thing is you must have your current eSIM still active so that it can receive an SMS to activate the SIM via EE app/website.

Can you switch the eSIM from regular using this method?
Tempted to move my contract to an eSim.
 
Morning guys. Happy preorder day!

So last night I was bored… and genuinely curious at the levels of hype building throughout this thread. So just for fun I’ve pulled together a bit of data (who doesn’t love a good graph?).

Threw this together to look at the growth in posts since the thread started. Didn’t have time to go through all the posts and find the exact post count for each day and so I’ve noted the date at which the number of posts reached 100, 200, 300 etc

It’s slightly flawed in that it doesn’t capture the true end post count each day (yesterday for example was almost an additional 100 posts) so the actual daily difference can’t be taken from this but it gives you a pretty good idea of just how much the thread has taken off in the last week.

Took a while to get going but we’re absolutely flying. Will be interesting to see where we end up by the end of today!

Hi all!

missed setting up the pre order as was faffing about with what to do about the trade in.

Do we think that’ll be much of a problem?

Also has anyone done the apple trade in online? I’m wondering whether to do that or whether to do a store pickup

As a statistician, I love it. A graph about iPhone hype? Yes please.

Love it! Graph won’t be big enough after 1pm 🤣
 
I wonder if the dates will start slipping pretty fast this year? i'm guessing on the 13 they might, hoping not so much on the 128GB iPhone Pro Max blue colour, so that i can get mine for next weeks launch date :)
 
I’m on ee and ready for upgrade thinking about taking it out with them anybody with ee taking one out with ee?

I’m with EE, got the 12 with them last year and looking to do the anytime upgrade when they open orders tomorrow, depending on the plans they offer…
 
Gonna go back to Graphite. I'll miss Pac Blue though.
This "Deep Cherry" color leather case...whoa!! Far better than I expected from this photo.
(from another member here on MR, it arrived today)

This looks really nice..

I've told myself I don't need to upgrade from the 12 Pro Max. However.. I'm still looking at this thread, I'm still looking at the pre-orders and the costs and going, well, it's not *that* much.. Hmm...
