Does anyone know if you can buy iPhones on apple store app using Apple ID balance?

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..

I locked mine on 7th too. Including weekends 27th or 28th is about right. The only thing they mentioned was if i use my own postage make sure its covered for loss etc as they will not cover as im not using their prepaid service.

Definitely going for Sierra Blue for my 13 Pro Max, that colour looks professional but also new / cool.

Decisions on Apple cases now. My shortlist is:

• Abyss Blue or Jay Blue in Silicone
• Sequoia Green in Leather

Thinking that green leather could be the one as its dark and military looking and will have a decent contrast against the light blue.

Thoughts on 13 pro Sierra blue and golden brown leather case?

I came here to say exactly what @SnooApples5021 said... Sierra Blue with Golden Brown leather case looks really nice.

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

I personally don’t see any benefits in switching from S4 to S7 Apple Watch (I also a S4 Stainless Steel) other than the bigger screen……

Think I've almost settled on the 128gb 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue. The more I see it on the Apple page the more I like it!

Not sure, can you do a dummy run now on a different model and see what options you get at checkout

Found any good cases to go with it?

iPhone 13 Pro in Sierra blue 256GB is going to be my pick… looks great! Wife can have my 12 mini to replace her second gen SE.

 

[nwlondonlad]

Definitely the 13 Pro Max 256GB in Sierra blue for me, just can't figure out which leather case colour to go with. Surprised Apple doesn't have one that matches the Sierra blue.

I would send it in sooner rather than later. I spoke to MM, my order was placed 4th and they told me I best send it by the 19th latest as it needs time to process etc. Wouldn’t wanna lose out on my high price.

They definitely put out some fake leaks this year right? The squared watch design, bronze and Matt black iPhone colours?

Surely apple wouldn’t release fake leaks out there and then deliver a worse product

Agree with not needing to upgrade the watch, there's no issues with my S4 at all and its probably still the best Apple Watch IMO in terms of how long its been out, how capable it is and how little difference there is between the S4, S5, S6 & SE

Absolutely no speed issues with it, and I still get around 1.5 days battery out of it which is more than enough as it goes on charge every night anyway

But, all the new features that did come with the S5, S6 and now the S7 would be nice, I remember I went from an S2 watch to an S4 and the screen size difference was absolute day and night, wondering if the S7 will have that same effect. More of a redesign would have been nice though

But then if I don't upgrade either my phone or watch this year it probably means ill upgrade both next year and have to burn more of a hole in the wallet, decisions! 😓🤯

It isn’t giving me an option of Apple ID balance

 

[Dino F]

Apple seem to changed the process this time.

When I go to the Apple Store App and select an iPhone 13 Pro 256gb and choose to trade in my 12 (no other option), it shows this:

I‘m currently on the Barclays Finance for my 12 - normally, trading in the phone pays off the remaining Barclays Finance (that’s what has happened in previous years) so dont understand what all this is all about???!

Think I’m liking the Sierra Blue and Wisteria leather case combo… not sure I can pull it off though 😂

 

[Jinjin]

Definitely Sierra Blue. I’m sure @Jinjin will add a poll later when he eventually gets caught up

So underwhelmed I don’t know if I’ll bother

 

[Patchwork]

There’s always on display, more internal memory, magnetometer for an internal compass and blood oxygen sensor along with faster processor. Of those the most useful is the always on display. Whether those functions and the bigger display is worth is debatable - I’m sticking with my S6.

I’m thinking exact same 😄

I thought this had changed but looks like it might just be the US, Canada and Australia that can use it on hardware

 

[Jinjin]

@Jinjin poll please!!!

Hold up… still have 100 posts to read

 

[pheonix320]

£170 more for the 13pro compared to the 13 is an absolute no brainier on a phone I’ll keep for 2 years. Having better photos of my family is priceless really

Don’t want to get too off topic in an iPhone thread but does the series 7 now have crystal glass displays for both aluminium and stainless steel models? I can’t see any asterisks when it talks about the crystal displays on the series 7 page and no mention of ion-x.

 

[azing]

I’m thinking exact same 😄

My wife reckons I could pull it off so I might take the risk!

 

[azing]

Safe to say my productivity will dip until I’ve got the preordering done. Then dip next week when reviews come out and then dip further when it gets delivered…

Must be same on both. Shows a green aluminium model when describing it
