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

Well I’ve bought both and don’t know which one to install on Friday! Used ESR Amorite last time and been completely happy with it but much prefer the installation method of the spigen EZ fit so I may try that one first. If it’s good then I’ll send the ESR back unused

I was leaning towards the Spigen due to the installation method. Knowing me I’ll still find a way to mess it up!

Is anyone else using macrumors on Tapatalk, it gets really laggy at times and my phone always heats up

Mine hasn’t been notifying new posts over the last few days…
Really like Tapatalk, but over the last few months it’s been really glitchy for me!

There’s some cracking domain names like that, see how you get on with these, genuine innocent domains:

Whorepresents.com

Penisland.net

Speedofart.com

therapist.com

artisanalcheese.com


And so many more.

Sometimes I read instagram usernames in different ways and wonder why people don't stick a couple of underscores in the name or just use something different! Though no funny examples to share right now....

I’ve already been charged the delivery charge I think it was £6.98

 

[troubleonline]

worth making sure those expensive things are all itemised in peoples home insurance content cover!

the OLED TVs, and MacBooks all had to be listed separately

And you can guarantee that insurance companies will hit depreciation hard on some of these items. I got my first MacBook stolen on a trip to Paris once and they depreciated everything in the bag thjough I did go back and question some of the inconsistent depreciation and got a bit of an uplift. They were taking value off things I had just bought in the departing airport a few hours previous and had not even opened.

actually that's a good point, I do see notifications of 'likes' of posts but that's it

Have you made sure the little bookmark tab is checked? Found myself a few times turning it off by accident. Should be filled in to get notifications rather than clear.

Kuo: iPhone 14 Plus Pre-Orders Worse Than iPhone 13 Mini, Product Strategy 'Fails'

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have seen "bad" pre-order results, indicating that Apple's positioning of the two new standard models...

plus flop?

15 mini making a return? 🙃

Geez guys and girls, you lot sure moved this thread on over the weekend!

After my disappointment of Apple fcuking up my pre pre order with their red phone number app problem, the problem with not having my pre pre order listed in my Apple account (wouldn't appear in the store), and the inabilty to actually contact anyone, I finally managed to get my Pro Max 256 Silver order in, but only for delivery 3-10 Oct I also 'treated' the wife to a Pro 128 Purple, though she's paying for it for the next 24mths lol Hers is also scheduled for 3-10 Oct delivery.

Soooo, while the majority of you are unwrapping shiny new phones on Fri, spare a thought for those of us who won't be so lucky. First world problem I know, but still annoying

To pass the time between launch day and delivery day, I decided to upgrade my watch from S5 to S7. Got a decent deal on a cellular model through eBay (even though I don't and won't need the cellular capability!) should be better resale price, and was cheaper than most other GPS models.

With the S7 watch and the 14PM phone in mind, what USB-C power bricks are folks using? I had been charging my S5 watch using my old USB-A brick and the USB-A puck. Knowing the S7 will have a USB-C puck, and the new phones, I'm gonna be potentially looking for 2 or 3 USB-C bricks. Have heard good things about the Anker Nano (also @Jinjin has posted the Anker code this morning), and obviously there's Apple's own brick.

Does anybody know any other MM codes I have saved £710 for postage but have another saved £690 but won’t let me use upgrade22 on it as it’s been used if I cancel the other order as prefer smartkiosk,or if I cancel my other order can I then use the code again i?

 

[bronksy]

I was leaning towards the Spigen due to the installation method. Knowing me I’ll still find a way to mess it up!

I ordered the Amorite but just notice the Spigen Align master. Not sure if one is better than the other - perhaps the Spigen one is slightly easier to light up with the frame?

I was actually joking about an overpriced lanyard for the new AirPods... but no!

Incase Lanyard

Clip your case securely to a purse or bag with the soft-braided Incase Lanyard for AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Available at apple.com

Mine is arriving tomorrow 😅

I think if you contact MM they can change the method from postage to Kiosk, saw it mentioned on here

Do you remember when Steve Jobs said when launching the first iPad and he said that you would have tech spread over the house and more than one tablet/PC. I thought that sounded unplausable and extravagant (not to mention expensive) at the time and here we are quite normally talking about have earphones in different places. A bit like having a few pairs of reading glasses!


Presume that was just for the RM strike but I agree that many retailers and couriers get to you next day even when you don't select. ON that basis I rarely pay extra unless I am urgently requiring sometime.

No it wasn't as guess as the details had already been posted about the embargo being lifted - HOWEVER I recalled wrong it is Wednesday!!🤭

Lol true, hey I’m also putting an Apple TV in the bedroom so I could always use the air pods for sound so it’s not too loud for the misses and she can sleep lol.

Have you confirmed the £710 order? If yes, then cancelling will not help.

 

[Azzin]

I wish you could favourite posts on here.. loads of stuff I see that I'd want to come back to and read/view properly when I had the time!

Open it in YouTube and save it to your Watch Later list.

I am sending my phone off tomorrow to MM so will be phoneless until Friday. Does anyone know if my cellular apple watch will still work allowing me to still receive calls on it?

maybe speak to their Customer service, they might be able to add the code to the order

Yes mine does. I did not unpair the watch. Just erased the iPhone.

Also my watch is on WatchOS 9 RC.

I know there was some interest in the Peel “ultra thin” cases earlier in the thread.

I’ve just found the following on Amazon available with Prime shipping: memumi Case for iPhone 14 Pro Max, Ultra Slim 0.3mm Case for iPhone 14 Pro Max, Matte Finish Extra Thin Case, Anti-Scratch and Fingerprint Resistant Case (6.7 '' 2022) https://amzn.eu/d/guclCEf

I’ve got one on order for tomorrow, but it claims to be as thin as the Peel case (0.3mm), also frosted and branding-free. Plus, it looks like it has individual holes punched for the camera lenses, rather than a big block cutout.

It might be worth considering as an alternative to Peel - cheaper, shipping from within the U.K. and available now (I think Peel is on pre-order until September end).

I wonder what the difference between the Black & the Trans Black cases?

I really like the look of them, thanks.

Yeah canceling the order should make you use it again

Never worked for me after cancelling confirmed order.

 

[Cutiekitty92]

hmm, CEX all buy grade A AirPods Pro's for £104..... MM give you £55!

I can't be contemplating more stuff just because its a few days wait for the phones....

I looked at this too. Seems the best way unless I sell them privately but hmmm will think

 

[Tybull]

I would ring EE and ensure the order is on the account. I am able to track here.

Maybe I need to have change of case but this one always does me well.

Me too, until Caduabe Sheath arrives!

Brilliant thanks. If the watch isn't unpaired then is it still easy enough to pair to the new phone?
