For anyone trading in with MM:

I just received an email from MM stating they will receive my phone today. I sent it to them Friday afternoon

Currys still showing stock for delivery on the 24th for the 128gb girlie blue 😉 14 pro max

I assume you mean girlie (sic) blue 13 Pro Max otherwise Currys have won.

Can’t put iOS 15

....so who's updating to iOS 15 today (drops in the UK at around 6pm) ?

Can’t update to iOS 15 on an iPhone 6 burner

Guess I’ll be waiting for Friday 🕖

I got the message/notification from settings.app asking me to get ready for my new iPhone too.

I guess it’s new this year? But what an incredible piece of user experience. A simple connection from order to existing phone but means the process on Friday will be seamless for users.

Nah, I’ll wait for Friday. Not paid much attention to the changes tbh so should hopefully be a pleasant surprise!

I will be doing on my SE 2020.

Like a few others I also got the amazon email stating my estimated delivery is 8/10-11/11. I noticed their stock allocation was different than in previous years. Last year they must have had a finite stock which once sold, went to “unavailable” however this year maybe they are taking as many orders as they can and they will be sent direct from apple? Sort of like how the PS5 stock went down with amazon on launch day, they placed orders direct with Sony and we’re shipped direct from them as well, amazon were just middle men at the time.
The iPhone stock is still showing as “due to be released on Friday”, it’s strange they are announcing that if they are already pushing back the dates on early orders past the release day?

I have hope that like other orders I have with amazon, I will randomly get an email on Thursday telling me I’ll be receiving it the following day. I can’t imagine I’m that far down the queue considering I had it ordered by 13:02 and my order confirmation was in my inbox by 13:04.

I haven’t got an iPhone yet (waiting for Friday ) but installing iPadOS 15 on my iPad Pro. Best features are App Library and widgets on the actual home screen.

I have been using MM for a few years, never had a problem. I have traded in iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, games and etc. I will be trading in my iPhone 12 Pro as well this Friday (I got £565 because I used a coupon code to get 10% extra, limited to max £30).

Yes I also used a 10% voucher as they were only offering £505 without it. I think I’ll use MM and forget the Argos Trade-in option, I trust MM more.

 

[sneeks]

I'm on the beta too but not had a notification

Same here but I also already have a backup on iCloud so it’s possible they see no reason to offer me additional temporary storage.

Edit:
Ok to contradict me Apple have just this minute added this option in my settings screen

 

[AVBeatMan]

Sounds promising. Any features in particular?

Strange but love the new weather app! Safari takes a bit of getting used to as the search bar has moved to the bottom of the screen instead of the top (although you can change it in settings I think). Can't think of anything else off the top of my head but loved the new weather app.

So just spoke with Apple and they said they tried again last night and it was successful. So no action required apparently

this is now showing in my online account.

reckon it’s gone through ok?

 

[sneeks]

iOS 15 is good so far but only a few subtle differences in day to day use, I wouldn’t say it’s worth avoiding the update today to experience it on the 13 models as it’s really not much different.

A friend had this. Got 2 Apple Pay declines, then an email from Apple saying something was wrong, but this morning everything is fine and the Apple Pay transactions are showing as pending now without him doing anything...

Looks like it's gone through fine this time!

That will be a treat on Friday with the new arrival.

Given iOS 14.8 took over 30 minutes to install, my 6S burner will have a proper meltdown with iOS 15 installation!

I avoided all the betas, but installed the RC that dropped. I wish I hadn't. It's buggy and glitchy as hell. (Can't access Music settings, Apple Music playlists aren't updating, freezing regularly.)

I can only hope the final release today isn't the same build as the RC.

Fingers crossed it has

Anyone who has an ESR armorite on their 12 pro/12 pro max, have you got any pictures of it? I'm interested to see how it looks with the black border compared to the regular ESR protectors that are clear around the edges! Not sure which to go for for my 13 pro. Thanks!

 

[Ifti]

I'll be waiting until Friday before I move to iOS 15.....

I went for the clear one in the end - but interested to see how the black border version looks. I wonder if the entire protector is slightly larger and wraps the edges of the phone where the screen curves a little.....

I’ll be updating all my devices from public beta/RC. Only thing I didn’t have on beta was my HomePods so looking forward to that the most.

 

[The Game 161]

Will update my iPad for sure to iOS 15. Dunno if to update my 6s though as it’s slow as it is.

I have the plain one on my 12 but bought the Armorite for the 13.
I just hope the Armorite is case friendly.
