I’m very tempted to buy this. Although I hope the magnets are stronger this year

…..apparently, sadly, they are not (watch the YouTube reviews for those which have wallet for the iPhone 13).

Ordered the Ringke Fusion clear case for my 13 Pro in Sierra blue.

The back is matte so feels nice in the hand as well as adding grip, the sides are TPU so offer some protection but aren’t thick like on some clear cases so the overall feel should still be nice.

Was also super cheap on Amazon! I normally get the Apple leather cases but no colours stood out for me this year to match with the blue.

I have still to see a clear case which does NOT turn yellow after time…..

Is no one in the forum upgrading on other networks. Only seems to be EE.

I am actually. I was with EE - called them the day before about an upgrade when they promised to call me on Friday to upgrade at 1pm. Low and behold they didn’t lol and I had enough. Initially had pre-ordered with Apple, but later in the week checked out O2’s deals (had been with them before and they were always good to me). Managed to lock in a 13 pro 128gb silver for only £47.90 per month. The device plan is a 0% 36 month credit line and the airtime plan is separate. The secret beauty to this is that you keep monthly payments low (even less than iPhone payments with Barclays) and can effectively upgrade every year for free (or around £50-100) because:
To upgrade you have to settle the cost of the device so you’d have paid 12 months off which leaves £643. By selling iPhone on time (before Apple event ) you can get circa £600 (taking into account the £50 less the phone costs too. Use that to pay off the device plan (like apples trade in to settle Barclays loan) and then upgrade to the new one. Seems like a good deal to me! And it also factors in the cost of a sim plan with large amount of data! Have been able to track my order where it says “waiting for launch day - we’ll dispatch your phone in time for the launch day of the new device”. So far so good! Even better because the phone appears as a loan on your credit file it builds your credit rating because you’re paying on time for a telecommunications line and loan!

(sorry for long post!)

I know I’ve seen it somewhere (it may have expired by now) but are there any music magpie codes still active? Looking to sell my iPhone 11 Pro ready for the 13 Pro. Thanks!
 
My EE order still says awaiting confirmation! ordered Saturday but seems it didn’t go through did get a XKO order number but when I phoned Sunday they said they didn’t even have the order on there system didn’t anyone else experience that? went for the PRO MAX 256 in silver. I currently have a 12 Pro In graphite which is going to my misses it’s a massive upgrade for her she’s on an XR 64GB. my AirPods max arrived today too can’t wait now need that battery life and 120hz goodness! please EE don’t keep us waiting long!

…..until the 30th September but you can also extend for an extra 7 days on the website.

I‘m sure I can get more than £519 on FB MarketPlace so I’m gonna list my iPhone 12 on there first for a week to see what it can fetch.

Are you referring to MM? How can I extend by 7 days? My end date is 28 Sep

It’s not worth paying for the ‘faster’ delivery. The last 3 items I bought were delivered by Royal Mail the very next day anyway.

Depends on whether you rate Royal Mail or not. In my case they’re in the same cesspool as Hermes. I’d happily pay extra for DPD every single time.

I know a lot of you have mentioned this but I was wondering what the best screen protector to get is? What’s the difference between ESR Amorite and ESR tempered glass? I would prefer one that’s very thin and essentially invisible. Or would getting Apple’s own belkin ones from the store be better?

for those who want there iPhone really early on Friday. Order from somewhere that use the same courier as you. Click pre 9am delivery.

I’ve got to order my supplies for my business, so will do on Thursday and tick pre 9am for extra £10 😂

that’s if it’s coming via DPD
Click to expand...
Haha. I’ve used this trick a number of times although the last time clearly DPDs scheduling system had a brain fart as I ended up with three separate deliveries in a day from the same driver! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

So esr the amorite can take more pressure before it breaks compared to the standard
last year I went with apple fitted belkin and after a week swapped for the standard esr better coverage an still in one piece

Wednesday almost done.

Hopefully tomorrow early morning DPD tracking starts appearing on their app. I still remember last year it was around 7:30am - 8:00am (School Run) Dpd tracking got confirmed and I upgraded to paid service.

Friday will be a good day. Delivery - Setup - Some Pics and Ryder Cup.

Yeah the EE systems fell over not long after 1pm Friday and continued into Saturday as far as I could tell. Wouldn’t worry too much just yet. History suggests you could even see an update from DPD before you hear anything from EE
