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

Just had my return pack from Argos trade in. Very thin padded envelope barely big enough to fit packing label never mind the phone!

Thinking of sending it in the box with a bigger padded envelope.

Just upgraded via EE Chat £91 + 20% discount was offered £72 in total with Apple Music. Cheaper than I am paying now.

The advisor seemed legit, sent me all the T&C in chat, PIN code sent to my device I had to send back in the chat.

I also have additional 10% off because I have BT broadband, if that remains total cost would be £63.7

Seems legit, Hopefully its proceed. My EE account shows I still eligible for upgrade tho, they systems are very slow form memory.

Im with the X and upgrading. I've grown to realise since the release of the X there has been a planned redesign to remove the notch which hasnt happened!

But don't forget the negative points. Your phone is locked, its a PITA if you want to change configuration / colour. Any issues with the phone is a PITA to deal with. Apple always have more flexibility with those who have purchased direct from them.

Exactly. I can't be doing with locked phones. It shouldn't be a thing in my opinion.

How many people have booked out some time in their work calendar for this? 😀 I'm not being disturbed with any calls or meetings at 1!

I had a meeting at 1 but asked if it could be changed to 10 past as "I have to drop my Mum off at 1" (why lie?) and thankfully it's been put back to 1:15!

If your not keeping the phone passed 12 months or have AC+ doesn’t make much difference not going direct to Apple. They will sort any issues out anyway.

The label is just a Tracked 48 so only £100 of compensation cover

Ofcom do not allow locking anymore. EE also do Apple next day replacement, same as Apple Store.

I thought the condition of anytime upgrade is that you have to upgrade to an equivalent or higher price plan? Im pretty sure this is in their rules.

They didn't have a tariff which was around the same price, so ended up doing a deal for £3 less month.

Does anyone know when the networks will be releasing there pricing? I have my pre-order with apple setup, but could do with a decent deal to replace my Vodafone one

 

[MrGimper]

[Jinjin]

Phones won't be locked after December due to new offcom rules. At the moment they are only locked for the first 6 months, then automatically unlocked.

I agree Apple are flexible, but I've never changed my mind and wanted to change devices.

 

[Hendohimself]

Sooo.... who keeps opening the app just in case the preorders have opened early?

Btw in the first 14 days, you can change colour with EE, it might be 7. Check first.

Which courier do Apple use to ship their devices with? Hoping it's DPD.

EE will replace your failty iPhone with a brand new box sealed retail device in first 30 days.

I had 4 replacement last year due to screen and screen gap issues.

Nope - from their T&Cs - Your device is covered up to a maximum value of £100 per claim should anything to your device whilst being shipped to Likewize

What about change of mind policy?

 

[Sal09]

What about change of mind policy?

Thats 14 days as mentioned by other members.

So lets say I order with EE and change mind about colour or capacity ? Are you claiming I can walk into an EE store with my device and walk out with a no questions asked replacement within 14 days? I don't think so. I can do this with Apple no problem.
