Hmm doesn't really clarify does it. If kiosk can't be selected with the code, then the first part is meaningless and the second is surely ment to be that we need to be within 20 miles, not more than 20 miles away. Ha, brilliant customer service there from MM. Still waiting for a response from them, but will let you know what they say.
So it seems like its deliberate that the MM codes cant be used with the kiosk option. This was the response i got:

I apologize for this.

Kindly note that if you are submitting your device via the smart drop kiosk the promo code can not be added, the order does go to a standard order whereas you will be required to send the device to us via courier.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further enquiries.

Kind Regards,
Leah

so, like a fool I locked in a music magpie quote a few days too early for the 21 days to cover me. I don't want to sell my phone before I have the new one so I now need to somehow extend the duration of the offer.

Any advice? Will music magpie offer an extension if I ask nicely? Or am I better to cancel and re-apply (the price still looks good)? Will they still give me the same price if I re-apply?

Cheers!

If the price is the same, re-apply but you’ll need to use a different email address.
 
Third time lucky with the screen protector? Shipping directly from Hong Kong so it’ll be a while before I know.

Seems to be directly from ESR though and cheaper than Amazon

Good luck, yes hoping third time lucky! The fleabay price is also less than half on the main ESR website.

I'm gonna hold fire buying direct until you receive yours 👍

MM prices are down like crazy today, £600 for 12 Pro Max 256GB
Wow that’s a big jump.

got mine for 740 with MM but I may go with plunc as it’s a quick sale. As you get it next day from when you post it where MM seems to take longer

Wow so the 12 Pro Max 256GB price hit £710 yesterday (plus the £30 code) & is now completely slashed in half a day.


....wow - just checked the price for an iPhone 12 - 2/3 days ago, they were offering £475. Today, its down to £380...?!!!!

Blimmin crooks...!!!!!!!!

....why don't you just wait until the phone is out - I doubt you'll find any genuine 13 screen protectors out there...!!

It’s a fair point but someone’s got to be the guinea pig. Respected manufacturers like ESR have had the schematics for months. There‘s a few quid to be saved and if nothing else I’ve drawn attention to some unscrupulous Amazon vendors 😂
 
iPhone 12 Pro Max 256gb sent off to MM, was able to lock in £740 before the price slash. The labels are 2nd class post so should get there by Friday. Had some tiny scratches around the side and hoping I don’t get done on the price.

Gone back to my XS max which is surprisingly snappy and as responsive as my 12 pro max. The only notable differences are the battery degradation and lower resolution camera.

From Canada here, looks like Apple/iPhones are crazy popular in the UK, just look at the member-engagement in this thread vs the US pre-order thread. Very interesting observation just not sure why.

...probably because we are the same people who come back on here every year - we all kinda know each other by now, we've been doing this for the past 5+ years!!!!!
:apple: ;)

Yeah we’ve got a nice bunch of people in here. Sure the US will catch up eventually but we do punch above our weight. Haven’t seen a Canada thread yet so you’re welcome to join us!
 
Anyone waiting to pre-order from Amazon? :) Hopefully they'll match the prices that they offered last year, I am only sad that I didn't order two iPhones.

In other news I just locked £600 from MM for the 12 Pro 256.

That’s a lot of trouble for a screen protector

I usually get apple to stick one on when I pick up the handset
