Which Model are you getting?

You can still get stock for collection on launch day in most stores (nearly all in London for example). If you were close by, and model dependant, just reserve and pick up

I'm not even sure I've seen that before the late into the launch week!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where online stock is delivered from with the 2-hour delivery option? My local has the Blue Jay Silicone in store but online delivery is well into October, I can however order most other cases and watch bands and have them delivered to my house within 2 hours 🤷‍♂️ - the local is Lakeside.
 
Does anyone know what time the embargo lifts tomorrow so we can see all the “hands on” reviews pop up?
 
I've had mixed experience with genuine Apple leather cases. Black ones have always been a-okay, a red one I had on a work-issued iPhone 8 went really dark around the edges from greasy fingers. The dark green one on my 11 Pro Max was amazing and unmarked after a year, but the blue one coming up a year old on my 12 Pro has been a shocker - was too late to send it back, but terrible finish on it.

Hoping the new green will do me proud:

EDIT: just noticed it has a cut line around the Apple and not a stamped-in indented logo ...

They must have a delivery partner or a local contractors. I know in the US they use Postmates

My 6S burner is struggling. 100% battery at 10:00, now showing 27% at 13:00 with only morning Zoom work calls!

Battery health max capacity is an unhealthy 73%, I think that is classified as significantly degraded!
Dont even. I have to charge mine 3 times a day.... hats off to MM though it came to me with 100% battery health

Mines still in pretty good shape, that odd bit of silicone on the rear only fell off yesterday after my daughter was using it!

Not really a dust magnet I found. Does go shiny in places as mentioned and where MagSafe attaches.

Thanks JinJin - I had a look everywhere reasonably plausible but none are showing as available for the Pro Max 256gb :(. I've looked at everywhere within about a 125 miles radius - the only area that comes up is in Cornwall but showing as pick up for 20th October. I am trying to be patient 🤣

I can highly recommend these. Actually better than those made by Apple.

Anker PowerLine III Flow, USB C to Lightning Cable for iPhone 13 13 Pro 12 11 X XS XR 8 Plus [MFi Certified, 6ft, Midnight Black] Supports Power Delivery, Silicone Cable (Charger Not Included) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08H87VZJ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_V47YV1KS61DZFK2WZSGX
Another really good one that I've been using for a few years is the Amazon Basics range too, they are braided and come in nice colours

I would too, but i have gigabit internet (sorry…). I think I am being compensated for having 1-2Mbps in second year of uni. That was hell. Had to open youtube videos, let them buffer at 360p for 10-15mins, then watch them.
I just went from flaky G.Fast at 120Mb which would slip to 60, to 70Mb which is nice and stable and has a static IP, would love 1Gbps internet but not likely round here.

Yes looks like the Max’s are in shorter supply. To be honest, keep checking the stores, after Friday walk in stock usually updates from 6am each day
 
same here couldnt go back to messing about with a small piece of plastic 50p a year well worth it imo
On previous launch dates has the transfer process to activate the eSIM quick? I know the networks will probably be a bit busier. If it was still quick on launch day I could be tempted to try it.

Shouldn;t make a difference as your old phone should stay active until it swaps over.
