iPhone 14/Plus UK iPhone 14/14 Plus/14 Pro/14 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

Apparently her order says that it will be delivered by 16th. May take a time to update ?

Should be fine … I assumed mine was because I’d had the confirmation of order email with order number and everything. Think that makes the difference 🙂

Ok so i may of gone a little overboard 😬 I ended up pre-ordering the 14 Pro Max (Deep Purple), Apple Watch Ultra and the AirPods Pro 2. I thought it was the best September Apple event in a while.

My 14 Pro Max Along with the leather case, is set for delivery on 16th of this month.

Might try rebuy they are offering 733 however it’s odd they let me put collection date for 19th and it looks like they’ll still honour the price.. slightly suspicious

 

[palemonkey]

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.

What Apple cases have people gone with for the Deep Purple 14 Pro? I'm a bit undecided which case to get.

I am planning to order Apple's Umber leather case for special occasions and also get a Caseology for every day use https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B1KPJ3LS/ I used them before and they are very good quality.
I am also going to try this wallet: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B2GZKWS2/

@palemonkey thanks for the case photos, it looks great!

Why swap now, wont you have to it again on Friday?

Yes, but it is done just as easily as part of the process on Friday...apparently

Not always true, they might choose to trade bank holiday hours rather than close. Working in retail, we don’t always get bank holidays off…

This maybe a little different. Not your standard bank holiday.

I can imagine most places closing bar essential retail

I’m normally impressed with MM but their processes are annoying. Sent last Monday morning 8am and it saying it is the final stages of getting delivered to them. My 21 days is up on Wednesday. Why do they give false tracking information. So annoying.

I’ve gone for the clear case this year. Don’t know if I’ll regret it yet or not.

 

[jacklroberts]

I haven't done a transfer myself because I had an Android break before my current iPhone 12 Pro Max. But from acquentainces that have done, they are happy with. Remember that it has to be supported by your provider too. EE support it and according to Apple https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209096 only EE do in the UK.

With O2 and Vodafone you will need to find alternative ways of activation. Although Vodafone do online issue of eSIM from their website. Three mention it on their website, but do not issue new eSIMs indefinitely.

Thank you 🙏

Spigen have increased prices of their screen protectors on Amazon.

I transferred my EE eSim from my 11 Pro Max to my 13 Pro Max last year via the app and it worked perfectly. Took all of 5 minutes.

 

[Sal09]

Apple doing Apple things again.

4K ProRes only available for 256GB devices and above. Im so glad i didnt go for 128GB even though my used storage is always below or around 70GB.

 

[NARadyk]

Shipped!!!!!!!!
The Apple Watch SE refurb for my mum that is.

My heart dropped. What a cruel thing to do.

What’s the best carrier to go with these days for Sim only?

Ideally supporting Esim for phone and Apple Watch.

I was looking at EE, who seem decent.

For my incoming iP14 P DP i went for : Leather Midnight, Leather Ink, Silicone Elderberry. Really nice colours this year, here is a pic I posted here yesterday :

Hope it helps!

 

[iFone88]

I’ve ordered a midnight blue one to have a look at.

They look similar to the ESR leather cases- probably the same. If it’s as slim at the apple cases I may keep this over my Ink one

Actually.

Scrap that.

I have cancelled. I vowed not to keep ordering cases to try as I always, ALWAYS go back to apple leather

That really depends on who gives the best signal where you are and where you frequent.

EE are reportedly good most of the time but YMMV.

 

[lyesbkz]

That’s good, has transferring, to a new iPhone worked fine as well?

When I was on Vodafone the eSIM worked perfectly, but on O2 it's been a pain every time. I had 10 days with no service last time I swapped to an eSIM (and eventually got a bill credit for that) but keep in mind O2 eSIMs are a physical, pre-printed pack with a QR code inside and you have to get one from a store and have it linked to your line there and then, or wait for it to arrive by post - you can't just switch in the app or get it by email like on Vodafone.

With Vodafone it was much better, they just send an email with a PDF which is the eSIM pack. I haven't used EE but seems according to others it's the easiest one to deal with!

I’m with o2 for my phone and watch (obviously a cellular one) on sim only. Comes to about £13 a month together. No issues here and decent price I think. 🤷🏼‍♂️

As it should be. Royalist or not Royalist we should always show respect and honour the dead.
