With my company we get access to EPP, but there is no discount on Apple gift cards.
Edit - just checked and the iTunes discount I have previously used has now been removed.
yeah, we have 'perks at work' and it was only EPP access.. no discount on vouchers
 
Still on the fence about SB vs DP

Here are some shots to assist others in my boat!

I just want Apple to take my money already. Anyone else feel like a little kid when Apple releases a new product?

Poll results are interesting. I know this is MacRumors, where all us Apple nerds congregate but there doesn't seem to be much love for the non-Pro. I expect they'll fare better with the general population.

As for the Pros, I'm slightly surprised that Space Black has more takers than Deep Purple. I know Space Black is technically a new colour option, but we've seen black on flagships iPhones before. I usually expect the 'Colour of the Year,' in this case, Deep Purple, to be the most popular.

My own choice, the Gold, doesn't seem very popular at all.
 
I’ve added a pre-order and been pre approved for the Barclays finance but now I want to change to 128 GB instead of the 256. Does anyone know how to do this? If I delete the existing pre order then add a new one, will I have to go through the finance approval again? I don’t see why they would reject me but don’t really want to take the risk Of fling it again! Or does it just take account of the approval I’ve already got?

Alternatively, when it comes to actually ordering tomorrow, can I just change the size easily enough then?
you can cancel and re do it... if you're worried it might get rejected, you might want to try doing the new agreement first and then cancel the un-needed one.

I saw in the Barclays t&c's that they will just cancel the agreement if you don't complete the purchase by the 13th (I think it was)... assume they give you X amount of days from the day it was set up.
 
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

Honestly was never into AppleCare but having spent so much on my 13 pro I wanted the reassurance . I went with theft included.

I have a protector on the 13 pro and haven’t had to change it in a year, I guess it’s just worth it for the cost

Yup. I’ve been saying it’s Applemas all week to my partner. These events always land around my birthday too so I have leeway with spending a mini fortune…
 
Why is the 14 pro 34g heavier than. 13 pro? Pretty significant increase in weight. Is it just the camera bulk? Nearly 20% increase in weight?!!

Apple never seem to “announce” that! Next year will be a “…we have a 15% decrease in weight”…true but miss the year they bulk it up!!
 
Hello again lovely people.

It's the 14 Pro Max, Purple, 256GB for me this year.

What a price hike we've had!

Now for me to be lazy and ask re trading in:
  1. Where's the best place price wise? Mazuma is hardly better than Apple, CPW don't have it on their website.
  2. If I trade in with Apple can I do it in store or do I get it sent off to their scammy provider? I traded my Watch in in-store and that was a much nicer experience.
Finally, can someone show me nice photos of their stainless steel Watch so I can encourage myself to buy one this year?
 
I’m not sure about the AOD implantation. It eye catching of course but do I really want my wallpaper visible at all times? I normally use a personal photo (currently my dog) and I don’t want that on my phone screen when sat in meetings etc. As I use an Apple Watch and always have it with me I’m not sure I really need the functionality anyway so might just turn it off. That’s assuming you can of course!

Where are you seeing these numbers? It’s 3g heavier.

I went with Mazuma, apple were offering £350 for my IP13 Pro 128gb. Mazuma offered £465.
 
Had a change of mind, preordered the iPhone 14 Pro 128Gb Graphite direct from Apple, will decide tomorrow whether I go through with it or not, paid in full on my credit card

Went through the Barclays pre-auth at about 6.45am this morning but have heard nothing! Paid the remainder of last years loan yesterday. A bit strange, should I be worried

I had a pretty instant process. what does your status show on apple app?
as soon as I pressed the accept button on the agreement, I had numerous emails from Barclays in my inbox.
 
wait till the carrier prices are announced.. then you'll be shocked no doubt!

Very true! After sleeping on it, I have come to terms with the pricing and tbh even if it was £250-£300 more then last year I reckon 70% of us here would still purchase

Am I right in saying the case are exact same size?

The only change is the protection lip around the camera cut out, its more raised?
 
I did a trade in estimate with Apple on my blue iPhone 12 128GB model which is in pristine condition. The offer came back as £290!

I paid £849 in October 2020!!

Why are they ripping us off with trade ins? The price hikes are bad enough.

I would think that's because the majority on here will have a Pro/Pro Max previous iPhone so will be upgrading to the similar design this year. They won't be downsizing to the non Pro models.....
