All good. My big boy blue is with DPD and on it‘s way to my local Irlam depot. Upgraded to pre midday delivery and got the day off work tomorrow. Very excited now. 
Got a tip for us?

CPW are offering £425 for an unlocked iPhone 12 128 gig - I think thats quite reasonable!
This should help explain the differenceI was wondering the same thing. Those of you setting up as a new phone....what about all your photos/texts/whatsapp data etc if you're not restoring from an iCloud backup?
Sorry if I'm being dumb and missing something super obvious!
….it won’t go across if you don’t do a ‘Back Up to iCloud’ though, I don‘t think?! Could be wrong……!
……that just confuses things even more?!

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. However I have Messages in iCloud and iCloud Photos on so all of that will come back once I log into the phone using my iCloud account. @Jinjin it says in that image that health data is stored in iCloud as long as you've enabled it so you should be fine!
EDIT: just noticed that when you go into iCloud on your phone there's a toggle for 'Watch' so that should transfer over no problem too without having to restore from back-up
No box or wire, they just want the phone itself. It takes around 20-30 minutes for them to do the checks and set up payment etc.
GiffGaff appear to be the surprise golden goose this year. You could have ordered pretty much any iPhone 13 at 7:55pm this evening and have it deliveried by DPD first thing tomorrow. @Jinjin let’s get that in the notes for next year! Also, avoid EE at all costs
Sorry, I mean I want to set the phone up as new as opposed to restoring from an iCloud backup. Even when setting up as new, I’ll still sign into iCloud which will then bring any data stored in iCloud across to my new phone, however I will have to redownload apps etc as I didn’t restore from a backup.
Ok - I caved. I'm buying one off a friend who purchased two. I need to get rid of mine now... what's a good way to let it go?
that's stuff stored inside a backup of your phone rather than what is in iCloud if moving to a new device and setting up as new..?
but most of that will be in iCloud and move to my new phone when I sign in for the first time..
will need to set up EE virtual voicemail again
Correct. The text underneath is the crucial bit along with note 2. As soon as you log in with iCloud that stuff starts getting brought in (assuming you’re already using those services - special mention to Whatsapp which you can store icloud too. Just restore your chat backup when installing the app)
Yeah this is what I was after. I back everything up to iCloud, every slider in iCloud is green haha. What I'm not sure of is the difference between.
A. Restoring a backup from iCloud as part of the phone set up
and
B. Setting the phone up as brand new and then signing into iCloud from Settings.
so to summarise moving the watch to a new phone with a clean install (not restored from back up)
just make sure everything is backed up to iCloud and then uppair on old phone and pair to new. everything else remains.

haha, managed to delete 5gb of random crap of my WhatsApp storage use
Ready for my 15 minute slut first thing in the morning.
See you all tomorrow with our shiney new toys
all this cleaning up has got me down to 82/128gb!... I could have got away with a 128gb 13 looking at it 😂
Must admit I’m not too clued up with the watch. Didn’t someone mention much earlier in the thread not seeing their activity badges move across when setting up as new. Sure I’ve read that somewhere
