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

I wanted to get a feel for it so I know how it’ll be come Friday

that’s one way of justifying it!

The cases I ordered from Amazon arrived today. Spigen clear silicone at £5.99. JETech blue silicone which included 2 x screen and 2 x camera protectors. It was priced at £16.99 but a 50% discount box was available to apply making it £8.48 and I thought a pretty good deal.
finally a lanyard strap. I normally get a case that has a lanyard strap built in but the one I favour not yet available for any 14 models so I got this patch version which you stick inside any case. its blue and white braid and the shade matches the blue case well. It cost £10.99. All in all I spent around £25 and happy with these to use initially Though not sure the blue will match the Deep Purple if that is what I keep.

It’s a sign! Save iOS 16 for the 14

My iPad is doing it on 15.7 so that theory us out 😛

How many of you have bit the bullet and installed iOS 16?

Waiting for my new shiny iPhone

I checked my iPhone and it’s only allowing me to update to 15.7. Not that I’m fussed. I’ll probably wait until I get my new phone before using iOS 16.

Usually I wait but this year I was bored so started with iOS 16 Betas…..regretting it now! But this year Dynamic Island will give it a new iPhone feeling so no regrets!

 

[Jinjin]

So I might be in the market for a lanyard 🫣

Also, given how much the incase AirPods case marked the charging case, any recommendations on how people protect theirs?

 

[Grayburn]

I’m getting this as well. Frustrating as I have 12 apps in need of an update.

Reboot the phone, fixed it for me.

My SE burner won’t take it 🤣 iOS 15 is the end of the road! Will have to buy a new burner next year

Does anyone have any experience with curry’s? They seem to have a load of iPhones in stock. Not sure I trust them though.

They’ve done the same as Very. Says on the page of the phone I want 'pre-order for delivery on the 16th' once purchased the confirmation email says estimated delivery 19/09/22.

Myself I installed the betas right just before beta 2, with Beta 3, I was the one who found the Goldfish wallpaper.

A skin?

The camera bumps look HUGE. i wonder how cases are going to compensate for it

I think that’s just the reflection of the lens!

I am thinking of selling the XR at some point and buy an 11 or 11 Pro

In regards to the app store issue mine seems to have sorted itself out now and I’ve been able to update the apps.

What’s the going rate for iPhone 13 pro max 1tb 3 weeks old

 

[dbrose]

Installed two weeks ago. It’s extremely stable.

Yep having been on beta cycle as well to have something new software wise on the new phone will be nice.

3G was my first. Got it in store after launch. The 4 I queued up for. Online ever since that.

Only missed the original iPhone, the 7 and the 12. Got all the rest on or around launch.

And even that’s unlikely seeing as it’s Bank holiday!

It ended up a complete cockup .

The Smart Kiosk wouldn't read the QR code so eventually I logged into the machine using order number. Once I get it working I placed the phone inside the machine (which was pretty grotty on the inside) and then waited and waited and waited, eventually a message pops up "no technician is available, do you want to cancel or wait?". I chose to wait and about 5 minutes later it starts processing and the first 3 check lines go green, then it hangs again, 5 minutes later it pops up a message that the price has been reassessed to £97 (from £384) due to condition issues and do I want to accept? This is for a mint iPhone with no scratches or marks anywhere, even the frame is pristine. Obviously I said no and retrieved the phone.

I now have a rebuy collection booked for Wednesday, on the strength of the recommendations in this thread.

Oh wow! That's terrible. Thanks for sharing your experience on here. I'll definitely reconsider using this service now having read how it worked out for you. I haven't heard of ReBuy before but I have read on here that people have used them and had good experiences so I guess I'll give them a go too.
