Have you got small hands or nah? I think I’ve got average size hands for a guy and even I thought my old PM 12 and 13 were cumbersome and hefty but the screen was the selling point. Now I have an iPad Air to take if I’m going anywhere, I don’t need that extra screen size on a regular basis.

I use my phone more than anything else tbh. Small hands 😅 still liked the idea

I love the size of the max iPhones. Bigger the better for me.

Gold has arrived. Boooom!

Same, for me once I experienced the longevity of it I just couldn’t justify the drop in battery life!

Got it. Zoom camera off atm lol

Picked mine up from Apple Liverpool this afternoon. In and out in about 8 minutes! Didn’t have to queue at all, very efficient as always. Can’t wait to get it home and setup!

@Jinjin what's your take so far on the Dynamic Island?

Not even switched on the phone yet!

My two phones just arrived! 14 Pro and Pro Max. One from DHL and one from DPD. (Apple and Currys) Literally pulled up at the same time 😂

Has anyone had their Amazon order status changed today? Really frustrating that Amazon hasn't changed status.

No nothing. Called them earlier, I think they've messed up personally and won't admit it. I saw a few silver and blacks go live today for Sunday delivery via prime but nothing for us who have preordered. Very upset with them

 

[lukeoneill90]

🙌🙌

Dynamic Island is magically. I surprised they did not use that word in the conference.

I am regretting converting on sunday to an eSim actually. Should have waited.

Yeah it wasn’t worth the risk, had a feeling it might go pear shaped, maybe less with apple but more on EE’s side… they are probably seeing esim activations at a scale never seen before (for them at least).

Hopefully all sorted soon for you all.. I’ll think about switching in a few weeks

Which Taco Bell speciality are you getting?

Last time I tried to order TB from Deliveroo/Uber Eats, they were closed ... in the middle of the day :/

Spicy and crispy chicken burrito for me

Arrived, just installed the Spigen EZ Fit screen protector - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B23LW7NV/ really impressed, used to use the ESR ones, but these are my new favourite.

Restoring from iCloud back up now! Silver looks amazing, really please I went with the Silver for a change, has a iPhone 4S vibe going.

 

[Jinjin]

Not sure Jin kinda really want it

Didn’t you use to do the plus/max sizes once upon a time?

 

[virginblue4]

DPD have just delivered mine! Unfortunately I’m at work so can’t pick it up from my family members house until this evening and then we have a family meal so won’t be playing with until until around 10pm tonight!

Share that wall please

 

[Jinjin]

Ok, unboxed and armorite on!

 

[Major774]

Oh great just what I wanted to read...
Can you request a new eSIM online and get the QR code or do you still have to visit a store or wait for them to post you one?

My EE esim to esim transfer completed in a few minutes for me.

1. You will need to order a replacement sim on your old phone (via the website).
2. Scan the QR code with the new phone.
3. Then activate the esim with the old phone (using the one-time code they send to you). Yes, I did see an error, however, the new phone was activated at the same time as the activation process/error.
4. Anyway, tested it by using my wife's phone to call my number and it went straight to the new phone.

Didn’t think I would be joining this party. Got a tax rebate this week and decided to try and find a purple Pro on launch day. Amazed to walk into the local iStore and snag one of the 3 they had!

Here it is, in a cheap silicone case I hurriedly bought from the accessories shop across the road. 🤣 Will order something decent off Amazon.

Comparison with my outgoing 12 Mini pictured as well. I must say the size and weight difference is significant. I initially considered the Pro Max, but really glad I went for the Pro as this is definitely as big and heavy as I want to go.

The purple is such an elegantly subtle colour. It’s difficult to capture in a photo. I think it’s going to sell well.

Welcome to the DEEP PURPLE family (I'm not talking about rock) !

I did many moons ago and I found it too big but that was a iPhone 6s Plus I believe. The phones have a come a long way in terms of size and screen I feel I can handle it this time 😅
