So, my new shiny toy arrived at 12:30. I’m absolutely loving having a smaller screen again! Had a nightmare transferring over my EE e Sim. Eventually managed to get it sorted. Really enjoying the phone so far! Just took me so long to get set up.

Forgot what a ball ache it is signing into all the banking apps again.

I had to record a video for Monzo to unlock my account. Luckily they approved it quickly.

Yep, that's the first one I done, as I use them as my main account.

I've had to do I twice, and in the mean time, Monzo blocked an Apple charge for next week's product

Absolutely love this phone. Not used a high refresh rate screen before.

Still fighting to get my phone up and running!!!

Does anyone use the PlayStation app having issues logging into it. I can still log in on my 13 pro with ios15 but not with my new 14 pro with ios16.

Can’t work out if it’s an ios16 or iPhone issue.

Ok can finally relax. After cancelling Amazon this morning and ordering from JL i was scared they were going to have my pants down and shaft me as well.

All looking good for tomorrow.

Succulent looks fab with the silver and I love how the camera bump reflects the colour just a little bit, am chuffed.

that was my choice of gift, looks really good together - I like the purple, but I don't think the dark bump goes very well with any of the lighter silicone cases.

Haha yup! This is my first iPhone launch day and everything has been pretty seamless so far besides that...

Had to download a new eSim via the EE app

In other news I’ve just been charged for my Apple Watch Ultra, at this rate I’ll have it before my phone

well a complete rollercoaster this year for me.
Apple preapproved all loan setup everything great woohooo then couldnt complete on the day because it just kept erroring on shipping :/ no idea why never managed to get round it.
Phoned EE yeah we have plenty all delivered on friday... of course it'll be a more expensive contract... oh ok well long as it gets delivered.... followed by well we never really PROMISED that did we? obviously we may not get enough stock?
Amazon get stock... order there..... still pending even today......
then late on in the day notice currys had everything in stock..... last order of the bunch, least likely to work in my experience and wow all went through perfectly and arrived today as promised with no fuss or drama.

1st world stress...

hope everyone enjoys theirs! cya next year ;-)

[AVBeatMan]

Anyone had problems adding AppleCare? From settings it directs me to my bank at authorise payment then back to apple then back to bank? Onto Apple now trying to sort it?

Wow. Seems some of you are having to jump through hoops to get the eSim to transfer over.

 

[JamesHP]

Seems like I’m one of the lucky few for whom eSIM transfer through iOS worked flawlessly!

Monzo: I messaged them at 1530... it's now 1551 and they're yet to respond... their support has really gone downhill since I started using them.

 

[Aneres11]

Silver is very pretty. Frosty 🥶 vibes. ❄️

 

[Saladin12]

Yeah good point man! Patience is a virtue!!

Delivery drivers must be pretty smashed to today.

As long as it comes and is defect free I’ll be happy!

Yeah defect free is key, haha! I’m sure it’ll be fine though. What colour did you go for?

Does AC+ take time to activate paid for it in store my phone not showing it’s covered

 

[AnDi86]

Yodel…. Do something…

Surprised but happy to say the EE eSIM transfer worked perfectly for me.
It took a few minutes to activate, but no issues.
I set up the phone first and then upgraded iOS 16 (16.0.1) on the iPhone 14 Pro Max (must have had a few updates for the 14 devices) and then started the transfer.
