And you swap with that guy who has ordered the Deep Purple 😜
🤣 which I will then use to trade and claim my rightful Space Black model back from the possession of @Jackmw14 who practically held a gun to my head and forced me to order the silver!

Just kidding, I’ve got a good feeling I’m gonna love switching it up this year! 🙌🏼

Are you going to love the silver or was I just trying to get rid of the competition for the space black 👀😂🔫
 
I like that there is a theft and loss option in Apple Care now. I used to have phone insurance through my bank account but changed bank accounts and no longer do now. my home insurance would probably cover it but the excess is pretty big so I find it’s useful to have AC. Although I have never claimed
 
I assume you inherit email and message history etc when you sign into your iCloud account, is that right? What about voicemail?
If you look in iCloud settings on you phone you can see everything that saves to iCloud (you can turn things on and off). Even if you set up new then all the iCloud stuff still gets restored, e.g. contacts, calendar, iMessages, photos, etc. Even WhatsApp messages

Thing with insurance you don’t need it until the time comes to claim and to me it’s a must have on a device costing £1300 just for peace of mind

Yeah my Alpine Green case isn’t even 6 months old and it’s battered, but I love aged leather, gives it a bit more character.
I wondered with your username - I do like a glass of I&G!

I’ve just come off phone with the bank as took friends out for lunch and when I tried to pay I got a blocked message on Apple Pay. Assumed my card had been declined because of all the phones I bought yesterday but advisor said no they were all approved. Advisor said easy to resolve I just need to use my physical card and pin and Apple Pay will work again apparently! Anyone had this before? Let’s hope I can remember my pin to do it 😂
 
If my delivery date holds from Very (19th) and isn’t moved forward to the 16th, it looks like it’ll be delayed further due bank holiday for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

Here’s hoping Very moves that forward to launch day. I’m not too fussed if it doesn’t arrive then but would be nice for sure!

Unfortunately not on this side of the pond. Phones won’t move for a few days yet.

Rough timeline of ‘tracking day’ which should be Thursday next week, based in previous years. The below was a summary from 2021 and was similar last year.

8.30am - first DPD app notifications of delivery but nothing from Apple and no updates on order
12.00pm - apple order status pages went a bit wonky and not available (ensue panic)
12.37pm - order pages available again, panic over, the world is good again... expect still no updates on orders
12.40pm - first confirmed Apple.com order update as shipped - Syncreon tracking on order page... let the post carnage begin! with this tracking people could see if they got UKmail too (no early notification from them)
4.40pm - DHL/UKMail texts went out with tracking working
5.41pm - the annual 'Why is my phone in Newcastle?' post when its just down the road near Hinkley (https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ers-and-dispatch-thread.2251576/post-29089512)
6.30pm - typo by someone asking if DPD provide 1 hour sluts for their deliveries!
7.15pm - my instore collection status changed to ready to collect. people getting notification of 'ready to collect'
7.47pm - more dispatch emails sent out from apple.

Loving the detailed summary here!!!

Thanks, that’s good to know. I wasn’t sure.
 
As usual, not many people opting for the gold iPhone. Surprised it hasn't been dropped yet and replaced with a different colour.
