Looks like the Pro - Space Black is more common in the polling

Do Apple Stores usually open up at 8am on launch day? Debating going to the store before work over working from home and getting it delivered during the day...

All ready for my Deep Purple Pro Max

Struggling to keep up!

@Sal09 - amongst your growing case haul have you ordered Silicone Elderberry and Leather Ink?

What’s the ETA and can you do a side by side specifically on these two?

But if you don’t get it delivered you won’t be able to creep on the DPD/DHL drivers location all day…

 

[Jinjin]

Thought it was cheaper to buy it all up front than pay monthly for AC

yeah it is.. I meant with the Barclays finance, they basically add the full price 2 year option to your loan and you split the cost as per the phone.

there is also the payg option each month which is more (over 2 years)

Always rely on iJustine!!!

Another stupid question, when you preorder for pick up (and trade in, if that makes a difference) do they give you time slots or do you just turn up whenever?

I don’t wanna be in no queues 🤣

...yea, you're normally allocated a 1 hour time slot.

 

[Jinjin]

is it worthy AppleCare or the one with theft on top ?
never had AppleCare and my iPhone 11 Pro Max is in pristine condition after 3 years and on original apple leather case , the screen protector was on for more than 2 years , but when I took it off , man felt like a whole new experience using the screen. the people who have the 13 pro is the screen more durable against the scratches or should I go again with screen protector
thanks

like any insurance, you won't miss it until you need it!

if you're happy with the risk of not having then that's fine... I only started taking it when IUP launched, and have now carried on with it

DHL usually deliver late to my address and I'm impatient 🤣

Storm Blue silicone is the case choice this year! Going on a SB phone. Usually go leather but found the colour choices a bit meh this year.

(price is minus VAT as I ordered using employee discount)

my storm blue will be here tomorrow with dpd, will post some pics when its here

Oh that's fair then! Go to the store for opening if you can get a slot.

 

[Jinjin]

Anybody else wish the always on display was darker?

not paid much attention to it yet, but I would have liked to be fairly discrete when on

 

[NARadyk]

Deep Purple or Space Black? 🤔🤔🤔

I’ve pre-pre ordered the Space Black 14PM. I’ve honestly been back and forth between the Pro and PM this year. I had the 12 Pro and then went to the 13 PM which initially was great but soon became cumbersome and now in the interim of the new iPhones have gone to the 13 Mini and I’m quite frankly loving the size of it. It’s truly a first world problem.

 

[Jinjin]

1. Apple Watch Ultra - FAR too expensive?!? Its the same price as the phone for gawds sake?! Anyone who buys that just because its the latest and greatest Apple Watch (i.e. wont use any of the features of the Ultra) is mad...!!!!

you do know the audience here you're talking to? 🤣

Thx JinJin didn’t realise they added it in full to late now with completed pre authorisation will just buy it on set up.

Now to get theft protection or not. never lost a phone or had one stolen but worse case it is covered under the house insurance or just pay the extra

 

[Saladin12]

Just to add , i gad a replacement 12 pro last month as,the previous one had speaker issues, my battery health is 100%, really don't know if to stick with this another year.

I think the jump from the 12 should be quite nice - promotion display, better battery life, better cameras, dynamic island, AOD, etc.

It's up to you, of course, whether you sit it out or not - next year looks likely to bring USB-C, if that's your jam?

Same, I wanted something closer to the android world if I'm honest - I don't want the wallpaper on display...

 

[Jinjin]

where is the best place to get with that price?
Cex has them starting at 900 , yes cheaper but not that great price
Myself can't trust online used phone offers and always a gamble
900 pounds for a new iPhone 13 pro max I will buy now

might be a few months away but apple will no doubt start selling refubed 13 pros.

the currently sell a 12PM 128GB at £779!

you will get piece of mind buying from apple, but it will cost you!

 

[Jinjin]

What colour is 'inked'??

I'm trying to look at the Ink Magsafe Wallet but can't tell on my laptop screen if its a black-ish colour or blue-ish?!!

same issue I had with the leather watch bands... they've got a new ink option too... just looked like black to me on screen.. have assumed its a really dark blue.

 

[Jinjin]

Arghhh again trying to order a purple

Getting annoyed now! Anyone else have this issue?

Who do Apple use for delivery nowadays?

I think it was a split between team DHL and team DPD last year.
