I've finally got an email from DPD, my order is arriving on Friday from Sky. Can't wait!!!

I am having doubts about the Silver colour now. I think Space Black would have been a better choice

Apple has struggled with the dark black finish for a while … I half expect to see reports of paint chipping in the next few days

Its a tough one. Might go with the Umber Leather case too so sometimes i feel doesn’t matter what colour I have, its gonna be in the case all the time unless i take it out to clean it.

But then again Space Black might be a special edition colour where they only have it this year and change it to another shade next year like they did with Pacific blue and sierra blue.

And i hope Umber matches with Silver.

No regrets! Silver looks so clean and futuristic in my opinion.

Last time I had a Silver colour was with the iPhone 6 and 7 Plus model. Liked the aluminium back, it was very sleek but hated the white thick bezels on the display

Checks Amazon before bed.. no movement.

One last check, just to see.

Oh go on. One more.

Ship that food to Ohio by chance?

I’ll be doing a device to device transfer this time round as I’m hoping it moves my EE eSIM across with it. Always done iCloud restores in the past, hoping I don’t run into any issues like previous years 🤞

I hate iCloud restore, I have to relogin my apps after the restore.

Device to device is so much better, no relogin of apps required.

I think I’m just going to do device to device transfer like I did last year. I decided to pick the 30th to send my 13 Pro Max to ReBuy so I have my current phone until then.

This video is an unboxing of the Deep Purple Pro Max. Watching it I’m really glad I chose that colour.

Happy iPhone dispatch notification day everyone 😊
I’ve struggled over the past few days to keep up with this thread, but I know from today it’ll be impossible for me as it’s gonna be crazy on here for the next 48hrs!!!
Good luck everyone let madness commence 🤣🤣

 

[John dosh]

Just finished a night shift just checking in before I get my head down. I hope I wake up to a notification from dpd lol. To all you early birds good morning and enjoy your morning coffee. Are be checking in later to join in on the madness.

We were talking about transferring the eSIM. The EE app will re-issue the eSIM (or a physical SIM if selected).

Correct but will still achieve the same if the transfer doesn’t work.

The objective is getting an eSIM and service on new device. To me doesn’t matter how just as long as it shifts from one device to another.

Whilst MM are a legit company the frustration comes in the long unwarranted delays in their own delivery pipeline which, for some reason, they seem to make the customers responsibility. Nine days since posting the phone using their 48Hr Royal Mail delivery service and still no scan of it at the warehouse, even though it was marked as delivered 4 days ago. When I contacted them asking them to extend my 21 day Price Promise due to the fact there was a delay at their end they said it wasn’t possible, which seemed somewhat inflexible.

Once RM confirm delivered and have added it to the pallet that they send on to MM that should be where they say yep it’s been sent or even when it goes to the post office as they email at that point acknowledging you have sent it.

Morning everyone. We are nearly there. Fingers crossed everyone gets their dispatch email today. Hoping for DPD to deliver too.

 

[Macsidia]

Tomorrow!

And so it begins

I think the address is wrong, I can give you mine if it helps and you can collect from me 😆

I hate iCloud restore, I have to relogin my apps after the restore.

Device to device is so much better, no relogin of apps required.

How well does device to device work? Is it a smooth process and how long does it take when you’ve used up over 100gb?

Have always used iCloud restore so am keen to try a way where I don’t have to log back in to EVERYTHING! Thanks

 

[sahajesh]

Is there a pros and cons for the various methods of transfer ie restore from Mac/PC backup, iCloud restore, device to device?

Just read now that iCloud means logging in to apps again, whereas device-to-device does not but both transfer the EE eSIM.

What about restore from a computer backup?

Speed of restore, ability to use the phone in the meantime etc.

Good morning everyone.

Hopefully today we will start to see some movement for tomorrow’s deliveries.

 

[YoungLew]

I’m surprised my 3rd October delivery date hasn’t crept forward - Silver is one of the least popular colours (according to the poll here) so you would think there’s the possibility of getting it sooner 🧐

 

[bronksy]

Amazon you tease. Come on. Give us a glimmer of hope.

 

[jacklroberts]

Good morning everyone, todays the day we’ve all been waiting for, will we get the dispatch email / text or won’t we. Fingers crossed for all of us 🤞. Have a great day and best of luck 👍

just got a text from Apple saying my order had shipped. Got excited. Nope, I’m dumb, it was a case that I’d ordered (on an old Apple ID that still had some cash in its account balance) and forgotten about. I win over optimistic idiot of the year. 😂
