Another Sierra blue image

If genuine, that looks great!
 
Can only imagine apple couldn’t get over some significant hurdles at 4K. Storage, battery probably. Hopefully something they’ll address via software
I don’t think you realise how taxing the cinematic mode is on processor, memory etc. it would have to calculate all the focus information, 60 times per second, in 4k, as well as compress to HEVC, all on the fly. That’s very very taxing on any processor, let alone a mobile one. I’m convinced that’s the reason it’s limited to 1080p/30, it’s simply too much calculation needed for anything more

indeed, and even that working the A15, it will rinse the battery at it

Not sure if I made a mistake going for graphite... I always go for space grey/black, but graphite is slightly different. I was hesitant to go for Sierra Blue as it is a touch too light for me. Ideally, I'd like to have seen it in person first, but obviously not possible. I'm sure graphite will do the trick for now :p

Has anyone used Carphone Warehouse to sell their old phone? They have a really competitive price for the iPhone 12 Pro (after Argos) but wanted to know if they were reliable
They offered me the same as O2 Recycle, and since I've used them before, I'll stick to O2.
 
I’ll be interested to read the experience people have with Argos trade-in, I’m planning on sending my 12 Pro to them at the end of the week.

They have emailed me my return label and I’ll box the phone myself rather than request a pack. My only concern is my iPhone is only covered for £100 loss or damage.
I would pay for extra Special Delivery. Doesn't cost much and gives you more piece of mind.

Then how can they say they made improvements on iPhone 14 ;)
Are you insinuating that at next years keynote Apple will use the line 'This is the best camera we have ever put in an iPhone'? .... shortly followed by 'This is the best chip we have ever put in an iPhone' o_O

I honestly can't wait for them to one day say 'This is not the best iPhone we have ever built' 😆

Be good if somebody has the time to go through every iPhone keynote and montage together every single 'this is the best ever....' line into a 1 minute video 🤣

Maybe for the 2022 SE? We may not have to wait long!
 
Dam had an email today saying there is a problem with taking my payment, its weird because its the same account I use for all my Apple stuff!

Looks like a day on the phone tomorrow.

I also have a quote from MM for £535 for my 12 Pro, they state I’m fully insured up to this amount with their postage methods so I may opt to use them instead. After reading a previous post on the company Argos use I did some research of my own and a disturbing number of negative reviews. MM always seem to get good mentions here.
It’s a shame Apple are only offering £450 or I’d have simply traded with them when I buy my iPhone on Friday.

Just had the same via email for my partner’s Sierra Blue Pro 128GB, she’s not going to be happy 😕
Damn, this seems to be happening to all the Amazon orders, looks like they’re hardly getting any launch stock. Unless they’re just being extremely cautious with their delivery estimates?

I thought she’d just been unlucky as she ordered later on in the day (she couldn’t decide whether or not to upgrade this year) but it just looks like Amazon stock is very low

Have you tried O2 Recycle?
