Torn between deep purple and gold. Always fancied the gold iPhone? Will always be cased in the apple silicone case. Anyone with a gold iPhone 13 pro - how does it wear?
A couple of my previous phones were Gold. Can't remember which. Definitely the 5S and, more recently, I think my 12 Pro. Never had any wear issues with them and I don't use cases or screen protectors.

Folks, MusicMagpie Question.

Someone must have been through this in previous years, is it ok to trade in to them with the RC firmware on or should I restore back to iOS 15?

I don't want to get caught at the MusicMagpie machine with them rejecting the phone for having iOS 16 installed.

Would do normal software instead of RC. When do you plan on sending the phone? iOS 16 comes out Monday so can just install that and send? I know you have 21 days to send your device as soon as you confirm you want to sell.

I am already beginning to change my mind if the PM is right for me. I love the Mini form factor so much that I’m debating just the Pro this year.
I find if you're having doubts about the Pm already, then they will only stay when you get it in you hand (or hands in the case of the max!).


but you get 14 days to return so could try and see how you go!

I'm going to use one of the new MusicMagpie drop off terminals.

Good point though, I'll wait and do it on Tuesday or Wednesday next week (just need to check when my 14 days offer runs out).

Is it 21 days? I thought it was 14...

How much did you get quoted from MM? I know with ReBuy, you can choose which date DPD come to pick the phone up if that helps?

Does anyone know much about the e-sim transfer process. Do you have to have your old phone with you or can this done via an iCloud backup?

Absolutely recommend gold, have the 13 Pro in it and its one of my favourite clean looking phones, pair it with the right case and it looks very classy - ive just posted above I have mine with the leather apple sequoia green and it looks great!

Its also not overly gold and more of an off white - if you can get to a shop and see one in person

Thank you! That’s good to hear. Watched a couple of videos and the gold looks lovely. Will match nicely with my apple silicone case in succulent.

The gold is my first choice so that it matches my gold series 7 but unsure if the gold on the 14 is the same as the watch. Haven’t seen any photos yet

£384 for a 64GB 12, there's no pick up or sending, you put the phone into the SmartDrop kiosk and it's assessed by camera and payment made there and then.

Thanks. Totally sold on the gold now having seen some more pictures. I’m upgrading from the iPhone 12 Pro in pacific blue so fancy a change. I’m getting the Apple silicone case in succulent so think it’ll match nicely with that. 👍🏽

You'll love Gold. Had it for the iPhone 12PM and was one of my favourite colours.

agreed, there are bigger things than getting credit on a phone in this world. people should make sure they're fully aware of the implication of their actions..

also taking financial advise from a forum of people who happily throw thousands of pounds at apple on a yearly minor upgrade might not be the best thing :D

..the irony in this post is just bulging at the seams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:p
 
If everyone can avoid doing store pick up at Regent Street for the first 10 mins, ya'll be appreciated 😂 I've had enough with deliveries, I just know DPD or DHL will say item is delayed and not deliver it to me so best to go at 10am and just pick up myself.

I’m really impressed with the ‘Dynamic Island’!

I wanted the purple since the rumours began, as I was hoping it would be a frosted/matte version of the 11/12 lilac colour.

Not really a fan of the aubergine emoji colour, so I’ve pre-pre-ordered the Space Black Pro Max.

On another note, I have always gone with an Apple Saddle Brown (or nearest) leather case ever since iPhone 6. I’m feeling a change and love the vibrancy of the orange, but I imagine it’ll look pretty busted rather quickly.

My question is: how bad are the Apple silicone cases? I haven’t had once since the iPhone 6 either. Do they still become scuffed and peel, and attract all the dust?
