You can do it straight from the phone under settings. Then there’s the 2 options, one has the theft on it. Thinks it’s about £11 a month.
I know you can buy it from scratch that way, but I’ve already ordered the “normal” AppleCare with the phone, so can you still change that to the theft/loss one on the phone after setup?
 
Guys and girls I need your help!!!!

The good wife’s phone order is having issues!!!!

So basically it says she needs to update her payment method.. so she went on and tried to reprocess it, tried different credit cards, tried a debit card and every single one gets as far as this screen ..

I’ve deleted her default card and changed it to another and everything

Tried on both our iPhones and my MacBook. All exactly the same… it’s like it’s glitched??

Apple were no help saying it’s the fraud block from her cards but she’s spoken with them and it’s not at all.

Can anyone save the day with an idea?

I assume you inherit email and message history etc when you sign into your iCloud account, is that right? What about voicemail?

My emails are gmail so sync fine, everything else is in iCloud, messages, passwords in keychain.

Never had issues with stuff missing. Maybe just downloaded songs to the phone.


My voicemails are always cleared down so not sure about that.

Just to that backup or keep the phone you’re transferring from incase it causes you issues. Then you just need to wipe your 14 and migrate as you used to.

You could try linking one of the other cards to Apple Pay to process the payment. I don‘t think it goes to that authorisation window when paying with Apple Pay. Could be wrong though. Anything is worth a try.

Someone earlier in the thread was having the exact same issue but I don’t know if they sorted it or not.
Try a different device or browser maybe?

Anyone know if you can upgrade Applecare + coverage to the one including theft and loss after you get the phone, or would I need to call them and see if I can change it on the order before it’s dispatched? Never had the theft and loss coverage before but considering it this year after people’s comments on here re: house insurance premiums going up with a claim etc.
Last year I had the normal AC with my Barclays loan and then decided I wanted theft and loss. Rang apple and they had to refund the normal AC (which went back to Barclays) and I had to buy the one with theft and loss. So it’s possible
 
For those of you that rock the apple silicone case, how do you find it wears over time? I always buy one or two but find they just seem dirty/sticky over time and not very premium. Am I doing something wrong? Do you clean them? So far have ordered a Pitaka MagEZ which is the same as I’m using on the 13 PM but always have a niggling doubt about lack of drop protection with that case

I get the stickiness.. it feels gross, but Apple doesn’t do a Red leather case.
 
I am still very undecided with the screen protectors / tempered glass. I really don't like the black outline on some of them and I can't tell which one is good quality and won't turn yellow. It's so confusing. I don't want to change screen protectors every couple of months.

If you don’t like the black border then I’d recommend the spigen EZ fit. Has by far the best installation method

Mine never gets sticky or dirty it does normally start to peel but this past year it did quite well and only peeled a little around the charging port.
