I know this is for 13 pre-orders, but as it's a UK thread, do we think Amazon and other third party retailers will lower their prices for new 12s? Amazon currently sell the 12 Mini for £579, but now Apple have dropped the 12 Mini price to £599, it's not much of a discount compared to yesterday when Apple still sold the 12 Mini for £699.

Looking to pick up a bargain 12 Mini now the 13 has been announced but not seeing any great deals yet.
 
Will be going for a 13 Pro Max in 256GB - colour undecided. I've had silver stainless steel since the XS Max and really fancied the rumoured bronze colour, but alas it didn't happen. I'm considering the gold, but I'm afraid it may be too blingy?

Really pleased by the camera upgrades. Wider aperture and autofocus on the ultrawide is a big plus for me. Longer 3x reach on the telephoto is another plus, but disappointed they couldn't get the aperture down to f2.0 or even f2.4, so we'll have to settle with f2.8. Main wide lens getting down to f1.5 to let in even more light will be incredible for low light and fast action.

Cinematic mode will be great fun to experiment with - the next slow motion video in my opinion.

Will go proper paparazzi on my son - he won't know what hits him! :D
 

Those ESR screen protectors no longer appear to have a hole for the camera. Good job… they were clearly in the wrong place! Another inconsistency amongst all the fake leaks

Wow. I locked in 705 for 12 pm 128. I think I need to send my phone this week to keep that price
Yup. I spoke to MM via email. They mentioned sending on Monday next week will be tight squeeze as my 21 days ends on 27 Sep. Im going to send mine on Saturday Special Delivery (paid by me £8) to avoid two day delivery.
 
Underwhelmed....Wish I'd kept my 12 Pro Max. Wanted a new darker colour and an always on display. That said I've already ordered the back (midnight?) leather case and will be ordering a graphite pro max that'll look the same as my 12 pro max!

Yes, good news with no hole punch in the protector for the camera! When I go into my Amazon order for the ESR Amorite version it now states iPhone 13 Pro Max along with the new photos so all fine, roll on delivery!

I think I have until the 24th so will send mine on Friday once the pre-order is in. Is it faster if you use the pack and send method via Asda?
 
webuyanyphone is doing £590 which I think is the best price rn🤗
ReBuy is offering £643.

I used them last year and they were great. They collect old phone via DPD and pay very fast. They were also very helpful via email and Twitter when I had to reschedule collection after my incoming Pro Max 12 was delayed.
 
I am looking forward to all the camera improvements, better battery life on the 13 Pro. I don’t really need the Max as I have an iPad for media consumption. Going for the 256GB version as that is the same size as my current X. Last three iPhones have been silver, colour choices are not fantastic this time round, but I like the blue, so probably will go for that as a change to my usual Silver. Will pick up the clear Apple Magsafe case, have not decided on what wallet I will go with yet. Might wait until I get the phone and choose the wallet in store.

Snap buddy, that is exactly what I am going for!
With my 12 Pro Max I only used 100GB of my 256GB as I've got 2TB iCloud, Google One & DropBox so I don't need anything more than 128GB.

This year I'm hoping it will be a smooth pre-order but you can never tell.
I think a lot of people may not upgrade from the 12 this year so expecting a more straightforward F5 panic at Friday 1pm!

Pre-order on the App Store you should be fine for launch day delivery.
Yeah I always manage with the Apple store app but I’ve never gone for the “new” colour option before… it’s normally the most popular right?
To top it off, my wife has decided she’d like the blue Pro instead of silver, so that’s two Sierra Blue phones I need to get!
Best of luck to you for launch day delivery!
 
No iPhone Upgrade Program details in the Apple Store app from what I can see for the new phones…..?!
This?

New colour tends to be the most popular, although this year the blue on the Pro is a little more divisive. I personally like it and is the one that I am going to get, a change from the usual silver I normally order. I suspect demand this year will be down from last year as there is not a huge change from the 12. However rumoured supply chain constraints may limit initial supplies.

The IUP pricing is here.. https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program

But it doesn't appear that there will be any way to reserve an upgrade like last year.

The app only lets you trade in with 1 month extra payment (for launch iPhone 12 Pro) to close off last years loan. The trade in appears to be online and not in store as well.

Then you can only buy on 24 months finance with or without AppleCare - so no new IUP.

Even if you are a new customer you can't get IUP reservations for the current phones.

Very confusing.

The new colour option is usually the first to go to longer delivery times beyond launch day, we will need to be quick off the mark getting our pre-orders in! My wife is keeping her 12 Pro Max this year which means I’m saving money lol

That’s 3 Sierra Blue‘s between us, best of luck to you too!

I’m having more trouble choosing an Apple case, expected Saddle Brown leather as my default option but Apple like to throw in the new toy colours!

Well, what an abysmal night in the football and what an abysmal keynote!!!

I wasn’t expecting much of an upgrade but I wasn’t expecting that little of one either, notch is still much bigger than I thought it would be. And then the usual ‘it has a better battery and camera!’

the question really is do I get a 13pro just to beat price deprecation and sell it for a better price next year.. the biggest surprise is apple dropping the price by £50, so with my £630 MM price locked in on my 12pro, the 13pro would cost me £319…

looking at 11pro prices now to get an estimate of what they will offer this time next year on 12pro’s, and MM are only offering £320, meaning a new 14pro next year would be about £680

I’m pretty set on upgrading my S4 watch to the S7, if that wasn’t in the picture I’d upgrade the phone without question to get the better prices

What day did you lock your price in? I did mine on Tuesday 7th so I’m not sure if the 21 days would mean I have until the 27th or 28th..
