Back again for another pre order. I've locked in £600 at MM for my Pro Max 128gb. In all honesty i'm not sure if i'm going to upgrade this year as i'm really happy with my current phone. Think i've said that before and pre ordered anyway haha.
Got a tip for us?

Did anyone of your running iOS 15 Beta revert back to iOS 14 before sending your devices to MM?
Yeah, restored through iTunes just in case they weren’t set up to assess it properly on the beta
Yeah I hope they are fake too. If those are the silicone cases then I will skip those. They look awful
Seeing a fair few third party cases on Amazon now and they too seem to have fairly pronounced lips around the camera cutout
That IS a shame. Why would Apple design a case which wobbles on a table?! Their ‘design team’ have lost their marbles……
Because the vast majority of people care more about the quality of the camera than if the phone wobbles when sat on a flat surface.
Not at all, believe me if they were dodgy about stuff like this, then this forum wouldn't take kindly and would be full of 'avoid at all costs!' posts, but instead its full of people always (including me last year) seeming to get 100% of what they were offered and im yet to see any post of anyone not getting what they were offered
Also you use the barcode that they send to you at the post office, as soon as they scan it you're golden, if it gets lost or they don't receive it as long as you have your post office receipt and (I think serial number??) of the phone then they will pay you the full amount offered still.
Sods law says now ive posted this none of the above will happen for me! 🙃🙃🙃
Dammit, champions league games kick-off at 5.45pm tomorrow. Going to need to multi screen the game and keynote
I know how you feel!
Although I think ill be waiting until after the football to watch the keynote, I won't be checking these forums or anything during the match so should easily avoid any spoilers.
...and id much rather watch Ronnie bag a hatrick. It means I can also fast forward the bits where Apple spend 30 minutes telling us how they now deliver the phone only in biodegradable bubblewrap to save the bees 😅
Spoke to loyalty a few days ago, they said they had a notice sent around advising they will not be waive the upgrade fee.
I'm in the same position, my year isn't up until the 1st Jan 22. Looking forward to the challenge of getting that £100 off.

I think I might have to do the same!
Clash of apple’s desire of a slim phone catching up with camera tech of today.
Whilst it will be mildly annoying I’m not going to be too bothered if it’s rocks a bit on a table
Get onto 14.8 ASAP giving the vulnerability it’s patching!
So really, there’s no real differences in going down the Barclays Finance route vs iUP other than the sum of money you pay up front on the iUP (I’m currently just starting year 2 of my Barclays Finance).
I did too. Didn’t want to give any reason to refuse or knock money off the price.
You can also pay money into the balance to reduce monthly payment amounts on finance. With IUP payments the payments stay the same amount but you pay it of earlier. And no AppleCare with finance.
IUP - money up front, bigger monthly payments ( but less to pay off after a year) and you have to do in store
24 month - can pre auth, smaller monthly payments (bigger balance left after a year), can be all done online
Can’t believe I was doing this, this time last year and painfully waiting for release day having pre ordered. It was my first ever pre order and release day iPhone in my life!
Hope all enjoy it as I’ll be skipping this year.
I’d go 2)
I got stung with slower speeds on unlimited whereas the capped plan was faster speeds.
I’m also tempted to skip this year (I skipped the upgrade from iPhone XS to iPhone 11 so went from XS to 12).Can’t believe I was doing this, this time last year and painfully waiting for release day having pre ordered. It was my first ever pre order and release day iPhone in my life!

BUT - nothing is certain until AFTER tomorrow night‘s Keynote!!!
