have you (or anyone else) been able to use the code twice on the same account?

the earlier £5 more code that was around.. it wouldn't let me use it a second time when I tried saying I'd used it one already!


dilemma on whether to lock in now or wait till mid next week!
No I haven't. It's one code per account. I just create new accounts all the time - you just need a few email addresses in order that you can create new accounts !

Can anyone remember what time preorders are for us in the UK? Is it midday or 1pm? Might put a blocker in my work calendar for that time on the 9th just in case…

Good reason to have a gmail account and you can stick in the random ‘.’or use ‘+xyz’ in the same email address. Then don’t need to have loads of email accounts and just the one.

Does anyone know if you get 21 days to drop a phone off at the music magpie smart drop kiosk as well?

iCloud's "Hide my email" feature is handy for this. I've generated burner email addresses when I'm not 100% on who I'm handing my email out to, or when I've needed to create a couple of temp accounts quickly. All received emails get forwarded to my main iCloud email.

I use the gmail '.' trick but this is very handy to know, I wasn't aware that there was a 'create a new address' buried within the 'Hide my email' settings of the iPhone. 👍

I’m a gmail user, this isn’t a trick I know about. How does it work? Thanks!
 
I’ve never pre-ordered an iPhone for launch day before. What’s the process in the UK for launch day collection please?
Are you able to select the store when pre-ordering?
When I pre-ordered my Apple Watch in 2020 you weren’t able to select a store for collection, only delivery.
I’m away on holiday from the Friday evening so would need a good degree of confidence that I could collect from my local store on the Friday if able to pre-order.

You can create variations of your email address and use them on the same website multiple times. so say for example say your email address is aldo82@gmail.com, you could use a.ldo82@gmail.com, al.do82@gmail.com, aldo8.2@gmail.com etc

Gmail we treat all the emails as a single account but the website you are signing up will see them a unique email addresses. Its very handy for using promo codes multiple times that usually can only linked to an email address once.
 
That’s as handy tip.

Can anyone explain how to use the Apple email equivalent?
When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use Hide My Email to keep your personal email address private. With Hide My Email, you can generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account, so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out forms or signing up for newsletters on the web or (iOS 15.2 or later) when sending email.

You can create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings

. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email, then do any of the following:

  • Create a Hide My Email address: Tap Create New Address, then follow the onscreen instructions.

When is the iPhone 14 thread going to be made? I’m back for another year.

I’m going to be looking for another EE 20% code if anyone can help me out again this year 🙏

Hopefully no delays from EE this year, madness last year.

You can select which phone you want and which store. You'll also be able to select what time you want to collect.

You can use as many dots as you want so a.l.d.o82@gmail.com would still come though.

You can also do + so :-

aldo82+musicmagpie1@gmail.com - useful for filtering mails

 
Yes it’s been 1pm for a good few years now. The old 8am days have long gone hopefully! The drama of having to do the school run or get to work and miss the event won’t be missed!

Trying to preorder on a dodgy 3G connection on a train is not good for one’s mental state

If preorders go live on 9/9, I’ll be off that day. The only problem I have is, my kids have to be dropped off at 8:15am that day. I plan to bring my iPad Pro and hook it up to my hotspot and have the Apple App open on my phone and the webpage opened on my iPad, while waiting in the drop off line. I can always pull over to the side after dropping them off, if my order hasn’t gone through yet.
