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

Looking forward to the pics of your silver beast as you might be one of the few in here who ordered that colour...I went safe this year but would consider switching it out at the Apple store.

I will photograph the unboxing of the silver fox and some shots in hand for everyone on this thread! SO EXCITED!

You sure it’s not a SIM card or something

I didn’t order a SIM card with it 😂 but who knows we’ll see

Has anyone managed an earlier collection than me this Friday? After the disaster trying to preorder, I'm there for a 8.45am pick up.

14 pro space black but I only have a rubbish old phone to take photos with.

Also AirTags increased to £35 from £29!! Shocked!

(might be late to the party about knowing that)

Did not know that.... Damn it I should have bought one the other week when I was thinking about it. I want to get one for my suitcase before I go away

Should it not be today?

Heading to the Apple store on Friday. Wish me luck

Have you reserved a phone or just hoping for stock on launch day?

So to concur with everyone else, elderberry is the winner.

Much richer, deep colour of purple than the chalky light storm blue.

Some pics in poor light:

So tempted to return my midnight leather for the elderberry silicone...

The only thing stopping me is that its silicone, had it for my 12pro and it was just a dust magnet for a few weeks before it got oily, plus always felt the leather had that added protection

decisions!

Elderberry on a Gold 14 Pro
Or midnight leather on a Gold 14 Pro...

Ok off topic to kill some time and also need some input.

My Surfshark sub is coming to an end. Not been impressed with them lately.

Which VPN is most yous using?

I'm using IVPN and highly recommend it.

When in this kind of situation, the best outcome is to keep both.

Happy Heart, Happy Brain.

Not Happy Wallet.

Another vote for Nord VPN. Looks like there are some decent cash back options, will have to look into those come renewal time. Otherwise plenty of hefty student discounts to be had too if you can access them.

Q: EE have given me an order number starting with 02 for my Apple Watch, does this give me any more info than the number they gave me originally that started xko lol

Have a look at Mullvad VPN from Sweden. They aren't as famous but have been going a long time, keep no logs (and have court documents to back it up), and are popular in the tech community.
They are very privacy focused - rather than an account or email address you just have a 16 digit code, and you can pay by sending them cash in the post if you are really paranoid about getting caught watching Australian Netflix or whatever

You'd have to go back a bit regardless of whether you remember the song or the margarine commercial.

Having a 'mare with Mullvad at the moment. I'm running the OSX beta, which may be a causal factor, but I can't use a their VPN for more than five minutes before it locks me out because my system DNS settings inexplicably change.

What's the easiest way to settle iPhone upgrade program with Barclays? I have no iPhone to use the business chat option.

Call them and make the final settlement payment. I have done this in the past.

It’s the same for financed Barclays phones (non upgrade program), call and pay off.

Own the phone and do whatever you want with it.

We can’t all be like you and order every case available 😭

Is there any point using Apple Relay? Is it a poor cousin of a proper VPN?
