I got a text/email from DPD saying my package would be delivered today between 2pm and 3pm 😰😰

Initial excitement then the realisation set in that it’s my replacement hoover from GTech 😤

So not only is it not new Apple toys, I’m going to have to hoover the bloody house today 😭
I bet that sucked when you found that out 🤣

I don't know whether to send my phone off to Mazuma tomorrow or wait until Thursday, what do you guys think? My offer is valid until the 28th.

Planning on sending it via DPD in work so it'll be delivered next day

Hold out.

Phone to phone transfer is so much better, most of your settings are maintained. I have done this in the past, cloud setup vs phone to phone, and phone to phone transfer is so much better.

I have my offer with Fone Wizard until 28 Sep as well, so I am holding out until I can switch them over on 24 Sep.

Morning all. I’ve got a pre order with Apple to carry on with IPU with O2 sim and also an O2 order, they work out literally the same cost a month if I reduce O2 to 20 months rather than 36.
Undecided the route to take, is it easy enough to call Barclays and pay the loan off, I’ve locked in £630 with MM.
Who do I call for AppleCare refund ? After doing all that I’m £9 better off 🤣

I've booked Friday off work so i'd need to send it Thursday the latest - I don't want to get caught out by any slow processing times once it gets delivered though either which is why i'm now considering Wednesday lol
 
Me too. I don't know why, but I love having to set everything up again on the new phone. My wife thinks I'm weird...
For me its an Apple thing lol. I like it engrossed in tech for few hours and sometime might even change set up from last device and try different layout.

I always set up fresh. Everything is saved on iCloud and 1Password.

...I don't understand why anyone would choose to start afresh vs a restore, personally?!!

Starting afresh means setting up multiple email accounts from scratch and all associated settings - the same goes for all other app like social media, games, + any others and redownloading all these apps all over again, setting up homescreens and shortcuts, the list is endless.......??!!!!!!

Definitely don't need all this added stress...!!!!!
😂

At least with doing a restore, you don't need to set all this up again.
 
Great news, well done! Bodes well for the rest of us waiting for MM now.

Does sound like Music Magpie are the most constantly reliable to use compared to other services.
They really are. I had all sorts of worries this year as the phone was financed etc but it’s all fine and I’ve got the money so roll on Friday.
my 12 pro is pristine condition so they’ll sell it for a lot. Also I sent it in the retail box with unopened wire

Habbit I guess. Always done that with every new gadget.

My partner is opposite 🤣. Does my head in when i take my jolly good time to perfect the screen protector install lol.
 
Haha! I think it adds to the "new" factor. I get to sit and properly play with the phone while I set everything up.
I think me, @Sal09 and @Jinjin are in the minority though... 😂

I've spent too long in lockdown getting all my apps just how want them tailored into specific folders etc. to do a full new restart this year with the 13.

I'm actually with you though, I do enjoy a new install - keeps things fresh from the previous year!

Loving iPadOS 15 on my iPad Pro, really fast & slick & new features - can't wait to see iOS 15 on the 13 come Friday!
 
Shame the Series 7 hasn't been released properly yet. I really wanted to have my first Apple Watch with my phone on day one. I'm tempted to just buy a series 6, any suggestions or thoughts?

Armorite screen protectors finally arrived from China. Thankfully they match the pics posted previously. Bargain at £10.79. Was getting a little anxious they might not make it in time though.
