So I thought I had completed the switch over to eSIM on my 13 Pro Max the other day but when I logged into the EE app today it said I still needed to activate it. So I followed the instructions and did that. For some reason I have data now but not the ability to call. Calls seem to fail. I’m not sure what I have done wrong. Also my cellular connection shows 4G only when I’m on a 5G plan.

Anyway I decided not to try and transfer the eSIM over to my 14 Pro. I think I’m just going to go to the EE store tomorrow and see if I can get a new physical SIM to use with my 14 Pro Max. I’ve decided the eSIM is too much of a headache. As I don’t have the need of two numbers and as I usually only take the physical sim out once a year when I get the new iPhone I think sticking with a physical SIM is better.
I had this when I first moved to esim. Is your physical sim still in the phone? That’s what my issue was, it was still trying to use that for calls

I got past 1GBps on my 13PM last February back in my home city in Greece. I was 😦 like this for a whole minute looking at it on Speediest lol.

I think you will be able to get 1Gbps in some parts of uk too, I got this earlier today.
 
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

Seems legally questionable to me as a thing. If they’ve made a decision there and then given photographic evidence of the device in their own machine (and therefore make payment on that basis) that would to me be them ‘receiving’ the phone. I’ll be interested to see what they say (I’ve not got through yet).
 
Most people have left us until next year now. It’s funny how this has become a yearly tradition. I think the forum brings an added level of hype to getting the new phones, seeing what everyone else is doing and sharing everyone’s updates.
 
I was going to attempt to use the EE app to download the eSIM on to my new phone but I think I will probably go to the EE store tomorrow and get a new SIM card instead.
 
Boom iPhone 14 Pro Max returned and iPhone 14 Pro collected. Only travelled 150 miles to sort it.

Manchester to Gateshead!!!

Although we have a happy wife as we now get a night away!!

You not the like the size of the Max! I’m thinking of changing my Pro to a Max as that’s the size I’m used to

I do slightly miss the screen of the 13 Pro Max after downgrading to the Pro this year but ergonomics and comfort wise, the Pro is so much better for me. Also the battery on the Pro, which was one of my fears about downgrading, has so far been great despite background indexing, playing music, watching videos etc.

I’m glad I made the switch to the Pro from Pro Max overall…you’ll be compromising either way but for me this is the best option (though it may not be for you!).
 
Is there anywhere on the forums where people are sharing their widget set up/lock screen customisations etc.?

Also does everyone have background app refresh on? Just wondering what the benefit of this is v battery life hit.

Vicariously living through you guys while I endure the next 3 days without my Pro Max. Sad I missed joining in with all the excitement when everyone got their phones yesterday, but EE didn’t come through for me this year, but I’ll be posting alongside the delayed Amazon orders so at least there’s that haha
Oh man, I thought you were getting it today?
