Apple might think that as the UK voted for Brexit, we don't want to be treated the same as the rest of Europe. They could make us a special case !!!
Got a tip for us?

Maybe compromise with an Apple Watch?
Fine for me since yesterday when I installed. Still working now on 16.0.1. Tried reinstalling?
When are you going, can you let me know how long it takes for you can’t be bothered to make another trip haha
Just got the same, wasted 45 minutes. No one was answering their helpline either. Not impressed at all.
I had that last year. They seem to take a few days off the limit so it can get to the warehouse even though they make the decision there and then. I couldn’t get them to say how many days it was but for me it was three days before my cut off, so it’s at least that by the looks of it
Parcelled up my 12PM with lots of bubble wrap into the box the 14PM came in and then another box with lots of thick paper packing around it! Took lots of photos and video of the phone first. Dropped at local RM delivery office this morning so it hopefully gets to national sorting quicker but who knows. Think am on day 19 but the MM CS I spoke to on chat earlier this week when I had (and still have) account log in problems agreed to put note on file to extend by 7 days since I couldn’t check out a saved quote. I have a screenshot of that. 🤞
before that I messaged DHL to ask why they lied about out an attempted delivery and calling card yesterday. Got a quick reply apologising and saying delivery would be re attemptEd tuesday. about an hour or two later my app pinged to say it was out for delivery and it just arrived Right at the end of the delivery window. Hubby went out on the street when the van pulled up (while I am languishing in the bath!) Will possibly open tomorrow but I think am probably set on the silver I got yesterday. In fact I may not open box at all as I assume that would enable local store to put into stock (when I take for refund) For some else.
in other news I fitted the JETech screen protector and although I did a marvellous bubble free job it doesn’t actually go to the edge of the screen. Not sure if faulty size or but not happy with the fit. Will post pictures later for thoughts.

Okay two minutes later, after clicking retry, it did it! All done within 15 or so minutes at the musicMagpie SMARTDrop Kiosk.
Though now it seems like I entered my bank details in wrong and the payment bounced!! FFS. Anybody got a number I can call?

K .. one or two things:
1) thanks for the thread Jinjin … awesome as usual (hope Dino can get back for next year though!)
2) AOD to only get it to switch off using sleep focus was annoying .. just worked out that it’ll go off if you pop to low power mode so will just grab that from control centre when I put the phone down to charge at night 🙂
3) loving the series 8 watch! Coming from series 6 I was fairly sure I’d send it back when it arrived but, at my age, the extra screen space with the smaller bezels actually makes quite a difference!
4) All apps and stuff switched over fine except NordPass just had a black screen. Had to delete and re-download and it’s been fine since.
See you all next year .. or on the iPad arrival thread if/when it ever happens!!

This was the number I was calling - 0808 196 5009, no one answered though.
My chosen magsafe compatible case doesn't work with original Anker vertical charger.
Still decent case, don't plan to purchase magsafe charger unless Anker gives in.
Silly me!

Once the phone has settled down, it might be useful to test the different wallpaper types on the AOD. I'm convinced that the gorgeous astronomy wallpaper would use more power - it doesn't seem to dim that much.
I do love the battery of the max models though - I'm the kind of person that can't understand why anyone could possibly let their phone get into the red power zone..... I tend to never let mine get lower than 50% ever. Most days I'm above 60% at the end of the day.
Perfect, just tried that number, all sorted in 13 minutes. She pushed through the payment to a different bank account while on the phone (didn't give her the details just updated on the website) - though it hasn't shown just yet but she said it would take a working day, so expect it Tuesday now.
Thanks buddy!
Patience is a virtue with this machine. I did have an issue that the IMEI screen kept timing out but it was fine in the end! Best of luck mate
