I believe all banks support the current account switching service.

It’s a pretty standard service isn’t it?

After 10 mins, the machine said it couldn't find somebody on Music Magpie's side to do the check.

Spoke to the security guard whilst I was waiting and he said the kiosk was installed only a week ago and he hadn't seen anybody use it yet.

I'm now at a different Asda. Hoping for better luck this time...

Doubt you’ll find much luck using a different machine if they can’t find anyone to check it, but fingers crossed.

Ahh right cool. I know on the Chase’s app page in the App Store it says it’s not yet supported. Unless they just haven’t updated the info yet.

Looks like I’m not getting my phone today from DPD either. Guess it’s gonna be Tuesday now Gonna have a word with EE since my new contract started on Thursday and I’ve still not got the phone yet.

Definitely. That and Open Banking.

Chase is such a basic service. Considering it’s owned by JP and has a ridiculous amount of capital behind it, the service and app is very basic. They don’t even support some basic services.

Was due to sell my 13 Pro to ReBuy for £606. They were gonna collect today but moved it to Tuesday.

Didn’t wanna wait for the money so stuck it on Facebook marketplace at 10pm last night and sold it this morning for £600 👌

Let me know how you get on I am planning on going this afternoon

So is there any consensus on the best way to transfer over an eSIM ? Is it it going to require a trip to an EE store ? I’m going to be doing a device to device transfer later today.

It’s their first dip in the water so one would hope it would improve after year 1.

You've had the chat open for 16 hours? 🤣

They say they support iPhone Quick Start, but in reality it doesn’t work most of the time. For me I restored from backup, and then when I got in to the phone it asked me to set up a mobile data plan, took me to the add eSim setting and my number was listed and I transferred it over. The activation took maybe a minute or so, and then it deactivated on my old phone and I was good to go.

Well considering they are owned by JP Morgan, who are the biggest consumer bank in the US, I expected a much better service and they seem slow to add in new features. They won’t support Open Banking until May 2023.

 

[Qountdown]

Hmmm... seems suss?

Very suss. A £1700 phone for £1050 🤔 I would not buy any expensive electronic devices off Facebook Marketplace.

 

[BillGates1969]

This is interesting, thanks.

I’ve gone down to a 128GB this year, as I’m happy to offload to iCloud, but I’m now thinking of setting up as new and not downloading apps that I think I could live without.

My main worry is my MS Authenticator app, as I have quite a few entries in that and in no way would I want to lose that access. 👀

MS Authenticator is a PIA. Moved over nearly everything (bar work ) to Authy. Cross platform, device etc and even has an Apple Watch app! Thoroughly recommend it.

 

[Treble]

If you have BLC there’s a company on there who offer 10% extra for selling
I’ve never heard of them before so can’t vouch for them webuyanyphone apparently £634.20 for 13 pm 128gb £665 256gb

Same sketch again.

Waited for 10 mins and the machine said there was nobody to be found. The freephone number says there is assistance available 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday.

I'm not going to bother with the kiosk again and will just post the phone in. Will take detailed photos and video to cover myself.

People who got theirs yesterday, what’s everyone’s thoughts on the Always On display? For me it is way too bright for overnight without going into Sleep focus (which turns it off). As a shift worker I can’t use sleep schedule for auto switching so I’m going to have to work out a shortcut (maybe a NFC tag on the bedside table) to switch focus modes when I go to bed.
Other than that I do like it and I love how it turns on/off with your Apple Watch proximity. It’s still strange when your looking at your phone hit the lock button and the screen stays on, but I will get used to that within a week.

Finally coming up for air after release day.

Picked up my 14 Pro Max successfully and wife's 14 Pro was delivered on time and without hassle by DHL. Only noticed after the fact that there was a typo on the postcode!

I went for the silver and wife has deep purple. There is a subtle difference in the white back versus my 13 Pro Max. The deep purple is stunning; really classy and sleek. I can't say I don't have colour envy...

Will try out the Music Magpie kiosk at Asda later. Hopefully there'll be somebody on their side to initiate the check.

I opted to do a clean setup. iCloud data pulled down successfully and apps without iCloud data were set up manually. This took up most of my day but it was worth it as I've managed to recover 20GB+ of storage space and I now have a lean base to build on - my previous backup has been incremented upon since the OG 2007 release!

Loving the Dynamic Island. It's fun, whimsical and visually striking. Haven't had a chance to use the cameras in anger yet, but will give that a shot later in the park with my son.

Desperately waiting for my Peel thin cases to arrive. This ESR basic clear case does the job until then, but it's so thick and adds additional bulk to an already big phone. I've had to return the thin Memumi case from Amazon and it sported camera lens bezel coverage, which didn't fit.

Next quest is to source a Series 8 steel watch with milanese loop. No store stock available anywhere except Regent Street currently. I fear some AirPods Pro 2 may also be beckoning...

It's been fun, guys!

Did the MM kiosk yesterday. All went smoothly for me. Paid quoted amount of £345 for 11 pro max 64gb. Money in my account in 20 mins.
