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

[Joseph C]

It's wild how far we've come. Bye bye 13 Pro, hello 5S for the day!

On an unrelated note, no tracking for Joseph so I think I'm DHL via O2 most likely. Jealous of you Apple.com people!

 

[Uralph92]

Anyone ordered from amazon uk and saw movement?

Same question

 

[jameseld82]

Remarkable though how similar the 13 Pro and 5S look side by side with the screen off on the desk though.

Stop it... This is making me seriously want to buy a 5s just for the fun of it.

Sim doesn’t need to be in it will activate during the transfer.

I have 128gb devices with about 110gb full. Takes about 45 mins.

Wow! 45 mins is a quick! Appreciate the advice! Device to device it is for tomorrow!!!

Happy Dispatch day and good luck to all the excitement in here is buzzing

 

[dbrose]

I recall it being hit and miss for a few!

DHL was terrible last year for me.

Never heard of a lightning to lightning cable, can’t see them on Amazon either.

Where can we get them from and is that faster than Wi-Fi?

You need to use something like the lightning - USB camera connector to give you a second lightning port. Chain goes like this:

Phone -> lightning to USB cable -> lightning to USB camera connector (you plug the USB end of the lightning cable from the first phone into this) -> second phone (you plug the lightning connector of the USB adaptor into this, obviously). It is usually faster than wifi but depends on the phone's wifi spec as it's at USB2 speeds (480Mbit/sec IIRC) via the cable.

Mines showing despatched to Yodel (from virgin media) for delivery tomorrow, 14 Pro 256Gb Space Black, am excited!

Not sure if Yodel give one hour time sluts though.

You will be lucky to get it at all tomorrow with Yodel. I believe they never stick to sluts.

 

[NARadyk]

Has anyone from the Apple Store itself had anything yet?

 

[Diorama]

Maybe I need to relax. I've just been accused of 'scaremongering' on the EE forums, and by a 'Skilled Contributor' no less...

 

[Jinjin]

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

Just do the phone to phone transfer and it will clone everything across.

No idea about doing via cable but lightening will be capped at usb 2.0 speeds of around 480mpbs.

If you’ve got a lot of data it can take a good while to transfer!

Also worth noting, if doing the apple quick transfer (bring the phones near each other) you’ll need to wait until the transfer is finished until you can use either phone again.

DHL was terrible last year for me.

Same. Late and tracking is just… questionable.

This is what you need

Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter

Add even greater capability and versatility to your iPad Pro by powering the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter with a USB Power Adapter. Then you can connect USB peripherals like hubs, Ethernet adapters, audio/MIDI interfaces, and card readers for CompactFlash, SD, microSD, and more. The Lightnin...

I can log in fine. From what I've read over the past week, that means you are getting your phone soon and I'm not 😅

 

[Jinjin]

who else has pick-up tomorrow at an apple store, presuming ours will say processing until our time slot?

You’ll get a ‘ready for collection’ from ~7pm onwards

 

[HalfPintOfInnes]

What the hell??

My caudabe sheath is being delivered today 3 days from the USA impressive

 

[dbrose]

Late to the party as ID mobile messed up my wife’s 13 pro order (got the 13pro instead of the 14, but ID have none in stock even though they took the order )

Are they any deals on the 14 pro 128gb that are worth considering? Best I’ve seen is £47 a month £210 upfront

Most people in here are either buying through EE or non-contract!!!

There are a few Sky and Three purchases. Cheapest is outright and sim only deal. I’m using Voxi.

It is a very smooth process, you just let the phones guide you through the process.

It will take longer with larger GB, but I have never tried with larger GB as I always cleared off most of my photos/videos before hand. I prefer keeping new photos/videos taken by the new camera (starting fresh).

The banking apps are a pain the butt to set up again, hence why I prefer the device to device route.

Banking apps should still recognise you’ve changed device and ask you to log back in (I think!)

Other line was completely missing so she send the request to F&F team to apply.

@Joseph C​

look what you are doing to me 😂​

 

[d7rren]

What the hell??

Oft. EE about to get a ear full

 

[JamesHP]

What the hell??

I've had this happen a few times with DPD parcels where they quote a few days late and just end up delivering next day anyway. Reckon you'll prob still get it.
