I'm not going to stress too much over colour. I put it in a case after all!!

The black looks great but I always go for the new colour each year so sticking with the purple. Looks nice and dark (I hate the lilac colour of the 14!)

Managed to get £652 from rebuy. Never used them before so I’m hoping they’re good.

 

[Jinjin]

What are they offering? I got £765 for mine through Music Magpie.

as of today, it looks like apple and MM offer the same for a 13 PM 256GB... £590 from apple, £570+£20 voucher from MM

I've never used a case or screen protector on any iPhone I've had (first one was the second generation / 3G) so colour matters a lot more to me. This year it feels particularly acute and feels like I'm going insane 🥲

 

[Jinjin]

The more I look at the Apple Watch Ultra the more I want it, it's way too big for my wrist but might go for it. 😂

talking of watch, I'm hoping apple to their usual magic and under-promise and over-deliver and bring forward my dates from 21st for my s8 🤞

Can I ask how you're finding your silver? Are you using it with a case?

I'm almost certain I want the silver, but I'm [overthinking] and reading so much about scratching and micro-scratching.

Hi,
i have a case on mine to be honest and it is in mint condition, however it is a little boring if I’m honest so looking to switch it up. just wondering how many people out there match their phones to their watch.. hmmm
will you be using a case with yours if so i would just go for the colour you want the most

 

[blaugrana69]

its a soft search not visible to other lenders! but, if people are worried about their credit or have plans for other loans, maybe getting an expensive phone might be the right time.

Is the eligibility check the same as the loan application ?

 

[Jinjin]

Ok great, maybe I’ll stick with the Music Magpie offer of £620 and use that to pay off my iUP loan, then wrap my head around what I’m owed on AppleCare.

Anyone know if I pay the loan off early like this, does it then show as paid off with Apple?

again, it was a while back with I did IUP but it was a few after settling account it reflected when apple displayed the IUP status

The Pro vs PM decision will be the death of me. Youtube hands on videos with the PM dont make it look too big. Im still leaning Pro though.

Possible to pre order both then cancel one on Saturday to give me more time?

Considered the Max too but the reachability aspect of the Dynamic Island is the one thing that swung it and led me to stick with the regular size Pro

 

[Jinjin]

wow, finally caught up with the thread after last posting at about 7am!.. Friday is going to be mental 😂

That's a fantastic point! I suppose though people with Max models are used to reaching up to that area for Control Centre though?

 

[Jinjin]

that's a very good point! I wonder how the 'swipe down for reachability' would work? maybe it replicates the pill cutout/island when the screen slides down?!

 

[Masterman]

Being lazy here but anybody have any good photo comparisons of Gold vs White/Silver?

 

[MadAngelUK]

Almost wish I hadn't immediately purchased my case haul yesterday for delivery tomorrow... if the courier wants a signature between 12:55 and 13:15 there's no chance! 🤣

Hopefully, if that is the case I can get redelivery for Monday 🤞

 

[Masterman]

This brings a further question, as most of iOS16 has gone through numbers beta tests however this one feature won't have been tested nowhere near as extensively as the rest, due to the obvious of nobody having a 14 pro to beta test it other than employees!

Bring on the pill bugs!

 

[ATApple]

will you stick on a case? when you go in store and handle a PM its feels fine.. adding a case and the bulk just makes it too hefty... as someone said, pinky pain when holding!

Definitely, was thinking a bumper. Now you mention it the YouTube vids don't show the case!

Back to 80/20 in favour of Pro.

I think the Pro looks quite big (big enough) until you put it next to a Max 😅

I have used them 2 years in a row now and they’re super reliable and pay out Quickly. I have just sold My 13 pro to them.

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

Mate the trade in prices are ridiculous.

Aren’t they just. I’d never do it but for curiosity really as I always sell privately. I keep seeing on here that Apple in America offer much better trade in prices so it’s so weird we don’t have the same benefits from essentially the same company.

 

[Ifti]

jeeez, these price hikes though.
Gonna have to start a GoFundMe page to upgrade an iPhone soon!

So I reserved the 14 plus last night and I’ve woken up torn.

I can’t decide between the 14 plus and the 14 pro max.

I love the fact the pro max has an always on display plus the island stuff looks cool. And the camera improvements. Also it has more ram according to GSM so that is always good.

But, it’s 1.2k for the base model.

The plus is £1059 for 256gb. And the colours are so much nicer.

Anyone else torn?

I gave in and committed myself to always getting the biggest & best each year every since the XS Max. I go reasonably low on storage though - 256GB is plenty for me

 

[Sal09]

Loads of shipping happening.

I hate DHL. They delivered iMac today (shipped from Belgium) no buzzing etc just dumped the box outside door. Only found out when i got notification via text.

 

[troubleonline]

Can't keep up with the thread today but I noticed a few pages back that some people had managed to get 2 phones on one pre order. How did you do this? I have a silver and black separately pre-ordered but would like to preorder 2 colours as one order to use a gift certificate as not sure which colour I will actually keep until I have them in my hand. Otherwise I need to decide what colour before Friday so I use the gift card on the right colour!

Go Pro Max or go home 😁

Really the ultra box?!
