so much for selling my wife's 12P 256... £496 now!
Did you save the previous quote?

I have two quotes (£555) saved for same device on two different accounts and one confirmed order of £557.

Im going to process one of the saved quotes on 1st Sep and if it works will send device after pre orders and if it doesnt work my confirmed order expires next week so will use that.

All this talk of the SMARTDrop kiosks in Asda got me wondering where my closest store is with one - turns out only a few hundred metres away!

Are they solely for dropping off phones, or could I drop my Apple Watch off at one as well? Think I'll use it for my wife's 12 Pro 256GB.
 
I couldn't face walking into an Asda so dropped my 13PM into a PO today, which with the strikes will take a but longer to get to MM I imagine, but I'll keep an ear out for that little jangle of coins dropping into my Monzo account :cool:

I'm away for the weekend on the 16th Sep, looks like I'll be missing a launch day delivery from DPD.

It looks like just phones for now.. watches would be impressive but technically challenging!
Hopefully they update for the 13 models soon too.

Went to the Apple Store to see how big the 45mm Apple Watch was ... but it might be ever so slightly on the big size... probably rules out the watch pro?

that's my thinking.. my last watch was the series 5 with its 44mm case and that was about right... not sure how I feel about going to the pro size!

lets see if they minimise the increase by reducing bezels or something else to keep the footprint down.
 
Took my 12 Pro to a MM SMARTdrop Kiosk at a local Asda earlier. Took me 2 or 3 attempts to position the phone to it’s liking as it kept saying it couldn’t read the IMEI and to re-position.
Anyway, once it worked it was literally a couple of minutes and I was paid the quoted amount on the order. Payment was by faster payments - already in my account and that even on a Sunday.
Would use again, unfortunately as we know the 13 series is currently excluded from the SMARTdrop option.

I wish we had something like this is in the US. It’ll be so much easier than sending our phone out.

Hopefully we won’t have to wait until October like for the 12. That was so torturous, and even worse for those of who got the 12PM.
I believe it was delayed till November. That was a really long wait! Covid at it's peak time. I don't see it happening this year tho. My fingers are crossed.

I wonder if Apple has already developed my iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB. hmm 🥺
