iPhone 13 UK iPhone 13/13 mini/13 Pro/13 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

[CD3660]

…someone pointed out that the 13 in Sierra Blue seem to be selling at a slightly higher price on Music Magpie too... maybe if you sold privately in a year, you might get a better price!

That was me. Graphite is at the higher price too.

I'm trying to go caseless with my current 13 Pro and wallet but find the wallet comes off way to easily as there is no grip for the wallet on the slippery back of the iPhone.

For that reason, I have ordered a textured skin from EazySkins - that way, the wallet has something to grip on.

I think you might find that the problem is the weakness of the phone’s inbuilt magnets. The wallet attaches more securely to a compatible case.

Just in time for the iPhone 14 to support 30w charging

I thought I saw somewhere a limitation with lightning cable only supporting ~27w or something

also saw something about 'stronger MagSafe magnets' on the IP14... doubt it would be one Apple announce but will have to wait for all the YouTube tests!

Wouldn’t they know stuff like that from coding in iOS 16 from the betas

pretty sure there were hardware specific things, like cinematic mode, which only came to light during keynote

I can't believe we only have 1 more day, roughly 24 hours to go!

 

[markhort]

Going to be a long ass day tomorrow waiting for the event.

 

[AppleFanToo]

The hardest thing will be watching the keynote and trying to keep up with this thread at the same time!!!!!

I have a couple of questions . . .
Are all the specs, weight, prices and capacities available to see straight after the keynote? I can’t remember last time. Also, if I’m ordering 2 iPhones, is it best to order them together or separately? I usually order my cases separately afterwards but I’ve never ordered 2 iPhones (one for my hubby) at the same time.

yes, once the store re-opens (soon after the event finishes) you'll see all the official pricing and configuration options.

You won't have a problem with 2 phone orders at the same time... assume you're paying outright and not doing the Barclays pre-auth finance?

There use to be this thing about ordering accessories alongside the phone and that causing delays as they then needed to combine items into a single package. I don't think that's an issue any more. That was more in the days the phones would ship from China and then they would have to combine the cases and package together. I will still be ordering the cases separately but due to being able to add the 10% discount via work perks.

The Apple Store will be down before/during the keynote. Once that is finished, it will then be updated with all the information you should need regarding specs and prices etc.

Full amount confirmed from MM. Posted on Thursday.

Also cancelled with EE and got a Lebara 30 day rolling sim for 1p per month and £6.90 per month after that. 12GB data and unlimited everything else. I work from home full time so would never use my 100GB with EE so this just made sense.

Just popped the new sim in and I have 5G at home which I didn’t have with EE!

Gonna have to try and can’t the first 15 mins on the train travelling to work, hopefully it’s just padding stuff and iPhones will be after that

Don't they usually announce the iPhone at the end of the event?

yeah, the iPhones would be the last up if they follow previous events

Just checked last year's event real quick and this is how it went down...

Introduction
iPad
iPad Mini
Apple Watch
Apple Fitness
iPhone 13
iPhone 13 Pro Line up.

Based on this it will most likely be by the end of the event.

Hahahah! good one. I have a feeling this event will be longer due to the introduction of the new Apple Watch. The Apple watch will probably be the highlight of the event. Last year, Apple didn't talk much about the Series 7 AW.

I just brought a Graphite Pro Max 13 256gb... from Amazon but via Music Magpie for £945 - decent deal?

I haven't switched it on but it looks in mint condition externally. I brought it incase v14 is too incremental. If 14 impresses ill return the 13 and order the 14 but wanted to pick up a 13 Pro Max incase they became rare. I have the XS Max (4 years old mint conidition) but thought its times for an upgrade for with a massive battery.

Good strategy?

I’m sure Apple Watch pro will get a good amount press that’s for sure

Thanks. I’ll be buying outright. I have perks at work too so will be doing the same as you.
