I see we didn't get the nice braided cables this year. Did we get them last year? If not, where did I get a braided USB-C to lightning cable from? I've definitely got one and I didn't purchase it separately at any point.
Got a tip for us?

I was cursing EE but when my iPhone restored, it asked me to add a data plan (or you can do it from settings) and it successfully transferred it over.
Only reason I use one is to preserve resale value. I know I’ll upgrade yearly so wanna make sure I get as much as I can
unfortunately no joy in that respect
im going to download the mini ios16 update and restart both and try again 🤞
Question for those on EE with an Apple Music smart benefit - do you have to wait until your current AM subscription fully expires before it will activate the smart benefit? I’m on a trial with Apple Music until November, so presumably I have to wait until then to use the smart benefit?
Yay! Yodel came early today, so happy, installing the update then doing a transfer.

And breathe! It’s finally here… phew
If it fails to transfer, just complete the restore from backup, and then it will prompt you to add a data plan, this then should allow you to transfer it across. That's what happened to me.
Beautiful lockscreen wallpaper - is it your own or a stock Apple one?
....damn - your keyboard needs a clean!!!!
I have to say this was the easiest transition and set up of new iPhone although last time was iPhone X love the device it’s so fast compared to its predecessor
I seem unable to setup mobile data, so I'll have to download the EE app and reissue the eSIM
Back from Trafford Centre with iPP 14 restoring from iCloud. Easiest iUP upgrade yet.
Apple Store TC had zero queues outside, which surprised me, not even any roped off areas to suggest that might even have been expecting any. Store itself was as busy as I’ve ever seen it, with plenty of staff around. Waited a couple of mins after checking in after my 11:30 reservation time, then got going on the iUP process. Two staff dealt with me, one taking the other through his first iUP transaction. Upgraded the included AC+ to loss & theft, and also added on the first party umber leather case. The case itself is lovely, so much more attractive than the almost orange golden brown from last year, and agreeably darker than the former saddle brown leather cases.
Then off to the setup table; haven’t done in-store setup since the iPad 3. Great to have started off the SIM transfer & iCloud restore as it meant I could finish up the podcast I’d done on the drive in for the drive back. Old phone wiped and handed back. Picked up some Hotel C for wife & son then back home.
For all of the complaints about how the Apple Stores have changed (and they have) over the years, this year’s launch day upgrade could not have gone any faster or smoother. Almost zero queueing (no need for the store to hand out bottles of water to over heated queue customers), staff on top of their game and a fantastic in-store experience overall.
If any Trafford Centre store happen to read this; you nailed it!
As for the phone? Pretty much the 13 pro experience already but for Dynamic Island which I already love. Tap and hold to expand for music playback controls pretty much restores the classic iPod experience as much as possible wihout deprecating the rest of the lock/Home Screen experience. Samsung, start your photocopiers 😁

News here for people that pre ordered on Amazon, I was chatting with the Cs and obviously was still having the same answers as everyone here. Then suddenly the assistant told me "wait, your order just got updated at the moment, it seems it will be delivered on the 20th".
So yes, it finally got updated there for me, after a week... They really managed this badly this year, last time I pre order on Amazon

Finally a status change. Ordered from John Lewis this morning anyway
Well, that beat my estimate of when the yellow screen comments would start by a couple of hours.
Opted for device to device transfer rather than the backup on the mac. Started off at 2 hours time left and was gong to abort, within 2 mins went down to 35...gong to leave it now as that will be a nice surprise after my meeting. It did ask about the eSIM and said EE requires more info after the device transfer...
EDIT: Not to start a 'gate', but side by did with my 12 pro the screen does look yellow..... (obv no photos as no phones left to take them with)
