I am on EE SIM only and have a physical SIM - is it worth changing over to eSIM? Probably wait though until after launch day as their (very good normally may I add) customer service will be rammed

I’d do it; I did it with EE a month ago, and my account became weird with upgrade problems which calls to EE didn’t resolve.

The transfer for me should be easier than a physical SIM, but I’m more tied to EE now.

ESR Screen Protector ordered:

ESR Case:

First time trying out ESR products hope they are good, and first time trying a clear case. £59 does not justify the leather case anymore for me. Doesn't feel nice and soft, just a really hard material case. Have the Midnight Leather for 13 Pro but don't think it's worth getting it again. But Umber colour is looking good!

Roll on next week for the iPhones!! (eBay or JL)

Cannot decide Silver or Space Black! 😕

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

View attachment 2056753

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?
When she spoke to her bank did she speak to their second level team? I've had a similar issue in the past with a purchase, the first level agent I spoke to said their wasn't a block and it wasn't till I spoke to their 2nd level that I got someone with the right access level to see it.

Hi guys, I'm looking at the best options to trade in or sell my old iPhone 12 Pro. Has anyone on here used Music Magpie's Smart Drop Kiosks before? If so, is it pretty much instant payment or do you still have to wait for it to be inspected?
 
Hi, the plus is actually launching on the 7th of Oct and not next week. Yes you’ve got a 4 week wait but you’re getting it on launch day :)
That's what I meant, the iPhone 14 plus is the only model with a 4 week longer launch date.

Most pro models now are getting close to a November delivery

Yeah nothing like panicking that you’ve lost all your emails and photos and messages

I don’t really get the point of setting up as new

Aha surely we all trust apple to keep our stuff safe in their cloud?

If I just copied over everything as is to my new device it would be indistinguishable from the previous phone (ok dynamic island aside) and the realisation that my life will continue and the phone continues to do the same thing it’s always done, hits home sooner!

A few people have and it’s been positive. Payment received in a few hours

If anyone has the green leather case can you post some photos of it please?

I have seen a few photos and videos, but it seems to look different each time I see it.
I have ordered the Forrest Green leather case, should be here Tuesday / Wednesday, I'll post some pictures when it arrives.

Im guessing these iPhones will be shipped from China/South Korea like the MBP's were in October last year.

It was fun tracking the plane with you guys to Germany and then to east midlands airport.

I'll probably be tracking my phone on my own as it will be past all the hype next week lol
 
Has anyone traded in their phone with Rebuy UK this year and got a positive experience / quick payment?

I’ve been quoted £733 for my iP13PM 256Gb, but have read a mixed bag of reviews… 😬😬

EE support eSIM Quick Transfer so it is possible that you will be presented with the option to convert your physical SIM to an eSIM during set up (as long as you have inserted the physical SIM to the phone) https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209096

Alternatively, you can very easily swap from SIM to eSIM via the My EE app. It will download the profile to your phone, but you will have to first have inserted the physical SIM to the phone because they send a confirmation text with code for verification before proceeding to the swap. Once complete, you can remove the physical SIM and throw away (I also destroyed mine).

There is the option to receive a QR from an EE Store or via post after requesting in telephone CS. But I don't see these options as convenient anymore.
 
Apparently her order says that it will be delivered by 16th. May take a time to update ?
I think you haven't lost your spot in the queue. I completed my payment about 30 minutes after pre-orders started due to similar issue and the dates had already slipped. But I am seeing "Delivers Friday 16 September by Express Delivery".
