I suspect that we would be lucky to escape with such a relatively modest increase. I hope I’m wrong

A couple of my musings about speculated pricing:
- The £GBP is weak against the dollar, so I'm expecting ~£100 increase over the 13 range if there has to be a price increase
- Inflation is up, so Apple has another incentive to increase prices to pay for their wages and salaries going up
- Taking the 128GB storage tier away from the Pro phones is one method of maintaining margins without increasing prices - Apple doesn't pay £100 for 128GB storage increase to 256GB
- If more people are forecasted to be hanging on to their phones longer due to inflation, the value of used phones must also surely go up - I look at the second hand Swiss watch market and the price of used watches has increased in correlation with the price increases on new Swiss watches
- Apple has lowered £GBP prices before - my 13 Pro Max cost less than my 12 Pro Max and my Apple Watch Series 6 cost less than my Series 5

I wonder when Apple plans on sending out invites for the Apple event in Fall. Last year, it was on September 7, 2021, around 09:00 AM PST.
Could Apple surprise us by sending out the invites by end of this month?

Apple Event announcement within 12 days? Are you kidding me!!!
So all things being equal, pre-orders should be on the 9th and availability on the 16th.
Odd though that the event is on a Wednesday rather than the usual Tuesday.

Looks like it’s Labor Day on Monday 5th ( assume is a public holiday?) maybe pushing everything 1 day out?
So we could be 2 weeks away from invites going out!
Labor Day is definitely a public holiday in the USA so that could explain it.

That is correct.
September 5th, 2022: Labor Day is a holiday. It's having a BBQ day with your friends & families.
September 6th, 2022: Apple Corporate employees are expected to come back to work. Is the first day moving back to Apple Park. Settling all in?
September 7th, 2022: Event Day?
Any experts on eSims lurking here? 😂
I am, for the first time, using an eSim in my iPhone (13 Pro Max). If I decide to upgrade to the equivalent iPhone 14 and have to send my iP13 off to MusicMagpie (or similar) before I can get the iP14, how do I go about keeping my mobile number and transferring the eSim to the new phone?
I’m hoping that there is a simple solution to this problem.

I’m hoping that there is a simple solution to this problem.
Option 1:Request a physical sim
Option 2: If you got a burner iPhone that supports e sim just use add plan option and it will transfer.
Option 3: If you are not using the number in between then just order a new esim when iPhone 14 arrives but it will require ringing your carrier to active it as you will not have access to the number to do sim swap.
Option 4: Im out of options.
Music Magpie trade in is up by £5 for both my 12 Pro and 13 Pro 128GB.

How long do you have before you need to send it in? I hear valuation is valid for 21 days...
It is for 21 days. If you’re entrusting it to Royal Mail I would allow a few days. Unfortunately you can’t use the SMARTdrop kiosks for the 13 Pro only the 12 and I assume older devices.
Note that it's 21 calendar days and the phone needs to have been received, tested and cleared on a weekday. I rushed to get a phone to them for a Saturday, which they received but did not test until the Monday. They changed the value as it had fallen out of the validity window and wouldn't honour the booster code I had on the original order. Sold it privately after all that palaver.
I wonder if I send it in on the 23rd - that's ~6 days from now that I can continue using it as my daily driver before I switch back to the 12 Pro. Do you believe this is sufficient time for them to receive, test etc.
Randomly looking through the previous years pre-order threads and looks like I've been involved since the iPhone 7/7+ thread, I did also post in the "iPhone SE orders UK!" thread as well because I ditched my 6S+ for the original SE. 😆
That’s incredible. And I’m on the opposite end, this will be my first one, while browsing from my iPhone 7!
Crazy how long some posters have been around m8
* Edit I been around since the iPhone 4 days 😬
That'll be fine. It's just if you're right up to the wire and leave yourself with only the weekend where there's a problem.
I would budget 2-3 days for it to be sent and received by them, then an additional day for them to test. I do recall they advise an additional 2+ days to test during peak upgrade season.
I've been a member since iPhone 5 was the current release but don't seem to have noticed the UK pre-order threads before 2016, somehow. 🤣
I do remember browsing the site before the OG iPhone came out and I'm sure I had an account but I couldn't find the details when I came back in 2013. 🤷♂️
