iPhone 13 UK iPhone 13/13 mini/13 Pro/13 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

I’m wondering now if I’ll get a better deal selling my 128gb iPhone 12 on Fleabay rather than sending it in to Argos for that ‘estimated’ £519?!

I guess I could stick it on Fleabay for 5 days and see what price it fetches and then send it off….

Happy pre-order day all

This is the first time ever I'm going to manage to pre-order on the day and I couldn't be more excited about it.

I have told my team at work do not disturb me from 12:55pm onwards 🤣🤣

Have a great day everyone

Tempted to do the same, wold my Air on there 2 years ago, I messed up with the posting though and think I put something like £8 shipping, cost a lot more than that in the end 😅

planning on posting mine off Monday so can you put something on eBay for 1/2 days or does it need to be a week minimum sort of thing?

I'm thinking of changing my colour last minute, from blue to the silver.......
Ive always purchased the silver/white handsets previously - I feel the colours don't look as 'classy' and 'business-like'. Hence may get the white/silver and colour up a case instead, which can be easily changed as and when!!

Hopefully I get to the chance to change the colour without having to go through all the finance stuff again....

Can you switch the eSIM from regular using this method?
Tempted to move my contract to an eSim.

Yep.
Exactly the same.
Treated as a replacement SIM. The format doesn’t matter.

I don't want the hassle. Even though the handset is mint etc, there are some ****** buyers out there!! I'm gonna stick with MM and send it in this weekend - less hassle.

I’m pretty sure you can sell it for 1/3/5 days or longer…

Applecare+ doesn't cover scratches/dings that are considered wear and tear tho.

That’s okay - I don’t get those either. To be fair, I have started using a screen protector on since the flat edge makes it look like it’s basically not there. But yeah, don’t need a case. Adds bulk and takes away dramatically from the design.

Yeah I've been put off selling anything expensive on eBay. Sold a MacBook Pro last year, buyer (high feedback, turns out the account was hacked) claimed I'd sent him an empty box and immediately escalated to PayPal. Got receipts from Royal Mail, asked them what the weight was in transit, and luckily the case was decided in my favour, but it was 3 or 4 weeks of stress.

It's only a small minority of buyers, but was enough to put me off. AVForums, MacRumors or recycling sites only from now on. Losing out on £100 or so is worth it for my sanity.

 

[Dino F]

I’ve just had a look on Fleabay and the prices for a 128 gb unlocked iPhone 12 START at the £500 mark, which means I‘ll get significantly higher on there than the £519 Argos are offering!

I may go down this road now and keep the Argos deal as a back up seeing that its valid for 21 days!

I stopped bothering with eBay. Too much effort to take photos of everything only to get scammed at the end of it.

Absolute legend mate thank you! I was just about to buy the screen protectors for £7.99. Amazing.

 

[Zonck]

Someone decide for me! 13 Pro or Pro Max and graphite or Sierra Blue!

Lest I develop multiple personalities and reserve all 4.

 

[robinium]

Ok… after having the hardest time deciding, I think I’ve locked in on my final choice.

For the first time ever, I’m going with the gold option. iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB Gold. Now… I need to choose which case colour I want.

 

[markhort]

Just found out my work have a 20% corporate EE discount, apparently it's only for new contracts and not for upgrades. Anyone else got a similar scheme and code it working on an upgrade?

13PM Sierra Blue!

13PM Sierra Blue!

But what about running! The portability!

I'm afraid you'll have to go through all the finance again. Why not order what you have already set up and then do another order. See what date you get and then you can always cancel the first order?

 

[Jinjin]

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

Don’t see it being a major issue, just might take you a few more clicks

Who?




Welcome back! Was wondering why you had been conspicuously quiet!

 

[limesmoothie]

13PM Sierra Blue!

Agreed, the Sierra Blue does look good. I was all for going base model this year until I saw that.

I don’t have an eBay notification for £3 selling fees. Is there a way to activate this?
