Just been charged for my phone & AirPods! Apple Watch was done on a separate, earlier order & hasn't been charged for yet!

iPhone 14 Pro Max on the 16th
Apple Watch S8 on the 17th
Is that the AirPods Pro 2. That’s quite early to charge 12 days ahead of delivery day but I guess if it’s the same order as the phone then it makes sense
 
I don’t think anyone here can answer that especially with a store like Harrods as it’s not the usual place most here would go to buy an iPhone. It’s anyone’s guess what their stock level will be. You’ll probably just have to take your chances if you want to but from there.

You've also got Apple Brompton Road about a 30 second walk up the road too!

I think @zara0106 said they wanted to purchase from Harrods to get points.

Thank you! Yes understandable so will have to take my chances.

Yes just for the points lol!
 
Currently in the O2 store trying to get an ESim QR code. So far two members of staff have looked at me like I've just asked them to explain Einstein's theory of relativity in less than 6 words.
It blew their minds when I asked the. for a 4G esim to transfer to an 11pro till I get the 14 PM and a 5G esim. 25 minutes later and explaining I would do the transfer myself (they made out it was like casting a spell at Hogwarts) I eventually got what I needed 😂
 
Finally got home after running my first Great North Run and you lot talk too fast, I’ve got so many pages to catch up on

Congratulations on completing it.
I'd love to get into running, have tried the couch to 5k several times before but never got on with it. I have they admiration for those that can run a distance.

The two options on the app are ''Activate my SIM/eSIM' or 'Replace my SIM/eSim' - do you know which one you went through to get it to work please?

You already have an activated physical SIM. It should be the replace option as your replacing a physical SIM for an eSIM.
 
I’m getting more and more tempted by the watch ultra. Even though I don’t do anything fitness related.

£850 is sooooooo much money though

Not just me then... I so want one but I'm not into fitness at all (other than 30mins twice a week on the spin bike in the spare room which the watch S5 tracks perfectly fine alongside apple fitness+).

For those who had issues with payment, how did you end up fixing it? I keep getting this message: Authorization failed. Please verify your card information or choose another card.

I tried with Halifax, had the message to approve on my app and didn't work, tried with Monzo, got the same message about approving on the app and still got the above message. Tried on Safari and Chrome.
I had the exact same problem. I had to ring Halifax and be put through to the fraud/security team as it was explained Halifax had put a block on the transaction. (I thought this was the case as it also happened when I got my ps5). I was then put through a ten minute grilling till they were satisfied it was me and unblocked it. Went back into the apple app and tried again and went straight through.

P.S: Prepare for a literal ten minute q and a if you get the same guy I got. It was ridiculously excessive. when I had a similar block on my ps5 transaction I was asked about 5 questions and off the phone again within a few minutes.

It’s only £50 more than the series 8 and you get a brighter screen, slightly larger screen, two microphones, better speaker And a £100 band plus extra watch faces. You could always try it and if you don’t like it then send it back but I think it’s very much dependent on wrist sizes. I would say it would look too big on anyone with a wrist that’s smaller than 6 1/2 inches

Ahh damn! How annoying. Maybe it still needs a human at the other end at some point during the process? Let us know how you get on with it as I’m genuinely interested to hear how it all works.

Will do, the annoying thing is MM claim the service is Mon-Sun 07:00-22:00 (as long as the Asda is open those hours) on their website.

I’m not 100% sure about preordering one but I’ll see how I get on with it once I get it. I don’t do anything athletics, extreme sports or diving related. I’m primarily getting it as I want to upgrade from my series 5 and the series 8 doesn’t seem like a big enough jump. I like the bigger and brighter display as well as the better battery of the Ultra. My series 5 battery is not lasting as long as it use to either.

I’ve got a series 5 currently, I have the arms for it (lol) it’s just I have the black s5 with red band and it looks so good!

I do walk a few miles most nights but not really enough exercise to justify it on exercise grounds

Yeah but hopefully the process will be much easier and simpler across all carriers once it’s mandatory to use an iPhone.

My own carrier - Smarty - doesn’t support eSims, so I’m hoping that they sort themselves out over the next 12 months if, indeed, the iPhone 15 goes simless.

I hadn't thought about the networks that don't support it! Surely Apple wouldn't go SIMless until the majority of carriers (worldwide) support it?

I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard for the piggyback networks to get it working from their 'parent' network?
 
So, I am still undecided on the size, P or PM, and colour, all four bar gold. I am set on the capacity, 256GB. I haven’t pre ordered because of this.

What are my options for Friday? Presumably the Apple Store will be packed. I would like to pay a visit and check them out, and hopefully make up my mind. But it will be either in the afternoon or early evening. Do you think they will have stock or will it sell super quick?
