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

…I may have purchased this…
It is very overpriced, but hopefully it lasts for the duration of the AirPods.

I assume you’ve ordered one.


How’s that cloth of yours by the way? Up to date verdict?

Got Ink Leather and Storm Blue Silicone case delivered by RM today.

Im liking the Storm Blue but not too sure about Ink Leather case.

Will post pics later when home.

I ordered the same for my silver 14 Pro. They’re due to arrive on Wednesday, I’ll probably keep one and exchange the other for Apple’s clear silicone case.

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.

I’m in exactly the same boat, lost weeks thanks to the system buggering up. At least it’s more time to be excited and there’s always the hope Apple will do their usual and bring date’s forward, though that’s maybe harder to do with component shortages still in effect.

At least I’ve got a new network to amuse me for a little while, massive difference between it and my old one.

Three:

EE (this I’ve had for two years consistently):

This however, is just cruel:

 

[Sal09]

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

Make sure you switch off wifi.

In times like these explorer face comes handy lol.

 

[CamiMR]

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.

It’s happening on all of my “followed” threads, even on other forums, so it’s surely an issue on their end, or my specific account…

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?

Hi @Treble - if not too late it looks like you can change you sending method by contacting customer services. You could do that with the original order the code is applied to.

Just moved my MM from saved to selling. I chose smartdrop, can’t see where it states I have 21 days though anywhere in order.

Also it says about pack and send guide. Do you need to take a box or anything for a smartdrop kiosk? Just the phone and it does it’s magic for you?

Never done one and waiting for my 14 Pro before sending this in probably over the weekend.

Thanks

 

[Joseph C]

The wait is helping make me more productive with my work - I figure the more I immerse myself in my projects, the quicker time will go!

Not going fast enough, mind...

I'll probably disappear from this thread now until Friday and people start posting pics of their new phones, doesn't feel the same when I'm not also upgrading. 🤣

Only trouble is MM take days to respond 5 at my last count link won’t open on safari it’s usually Laurah and she says no to every thing lol

Scrap that can see it on the email about 21 days now thanks.

Hopefully goes smoothly on trade on as so convenient if does.

Now I’m wondering (I have eSIM) wether to update to iOS 16 or wait until the 14. Not sure how transfer will work.

Is transfer (as in iPhone to iPhone beside each other) quicker than restore from iCloud backup?

 

[njek]

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.

I did that...now can watch MOTD in bed and not disturb her. Before that, I'd tried connecting my AirPods to the TV via Bluetooth, but that was a bit hit and miss. With the Apple TV, it's faultless 👍

 

[njek]

I feel your pain, red line happened for me too. Eventually cancelled and gave up hours later. Got 1 case delivered and another on the way, but no iPhone. Will have to play the lottery and hope the Edinburgh store have some stock. It's all very disappointing

Fingers crossed you get lucky in store! I usually never have a bad word to say about Apple, their CS is generally better than the rest, but they really did make a balls up this time.

 

[troubleonline]

@Treble Oh I see that as just gone onto see if I could do myself and they have such a message running across the screen to advice 5 day response time.

 

[Saladin12]

Sorry where is it showing the Monday hours? I only see this

All apple stores are closed on 19th for Queen's funeral (bank holiday)

 

[sparkie1984]

Right the wife’s just gone down for her surgery… no one to stop me ordering what I want now!!!!!!!

I used to agree. I remember in like 2009 having a broken MacBook charger, taking it into a store so I knew which to buy to replace it, and a guy working there just giving me a replacement for free.

Skip to this week when I spoke to CS about the issues I had with the pre-approved loan order not going through and they basically told me tough luck.

 

[DaveS86]

No love for the Supcase UB Pro cases on here? Absolutely bulletproof albeit I love a chunky case. Gone for transparent this year...

Well apart from my lack of money

Ooooooo you got balls my friend.

Any Amazon orders updated to say something other than 'we'll email you when we have a delivery date'?

 

[Joseph C]

PSA to anyone running the iOS 16 beta - remove the beta profile today to avoid updating to 16.1 beta, for a smoother migration on the iPhone 14 launch day!

 

[RossMacca]

Nope. Same message for me. I’m fortunate in a way that I’ll actually be on holiday so don’t want it delivered till next Wednesday, but much later than that and I’m going to miss my MM offer on my current phone.
