iPhone 14/Plus UK iPhone 14/14 Plus/14 Pro/14 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

Don’t know about you guys but my iPhone 14 Pro max feels so good without a case! Much better than the 13 Pro max. Definitely feels better in the hand. I’ll still pop it in a case for now but after “our honeymoon “ I might just go naked

Who is offering the best price for selling the old AirPods Pro? My kids are too savvy to fall for the hand me down AirPods they want the new ones at Christmas.

Sold mine last week to cex. Was graded a B and got £92

Haha I always go bareback with mine

Are MM picky on the grade if AirPods. My case is quite scuffed.

Mm we’re offering £55 for good and cex was £106 for grade A and £92 for B

Good man! For how long have you? Any problems? Have AC+?

I haven’t received the Music Magpie money yet, so hopefully it will follow after the bank holiday 🤞

No AC nope had my 12 pro since it’s release day up til yesterday and not once put a case on it but I treat my phone like my baby and not a scratch or blemish on it .. my missus as it now I’ve upgraded and she’s gone and covered it with a case straight away haha they’re too nice to cover up imo can’t bring myself to do it

With all these ios16 issues on 14 pro what shall i do? So i am on my burner phone running 15.6.1 do i update to ios16 then do icloud backup then do device transfer to new iphone or can i do backup and jump from 15.6.1 to ios16.0.1? Please advise

I’ve not had any issues on my Pro…it just seems a lot are being impacted as I guess people aren’t necessarily going to post they’ve had no issues.

So finally got my 14 Pro after having an XR and first impression is - it’s so heavy and bulky (camera bump). It’s a bit cumbersome. How I hold my phone, my finger is over the camera. Plus the wobble when it’s on a table is terrible. I’ve put it straight into a case, as I don’t trust it not scratching or anything. Screen is brilliant compared to my XR. Purple colour is odd as it’s so different in different lights, going from a grey to a purple.

 

[Vazza]

So I turned on Power On/Off sounds, but my 14PM makes no sounds. Anyone else experiencing this?

Working fine for me…are you sure you don’t have the phone on silent and/or DND/focus?

I’m finding the same issue coming from a Pro Max to a Pro…with how big the camera bulge is now, my finger tends to obscure the lower camera lens but I’m sure my finger placement will change over time out of habit 🤷‍♂️

I received a survey from Apple about how my associate appointment went for the pickup.. disappointed to see how heavy the survey was on upselling that I really now feel bad for the associate. I rated them very well but was honest that they didn’t need to swell me

🙁

Did you sort your screen issue out?

 

[KrisLord]

It most certainly is not

It’s grey and miserable until you cross the Tyne 😉

Then it’s the promised land.

 

[ct2k7]

I haven’t checked it against the old iPhone yet, I’ll let you know later today: it does seem a little brighter though…

Nope. Doesn't work at all.

 

[Vazza]

Nope. Doesn't work at all.

Weird, I think I saw someone else with the PM say the same thing but it’s been working on my Pro.

 

[Vazza]

@bbfc

A similar issue that someone is having with their PM here except the off sound works, just not the on:

Been thinking of switching banks for a while but all the app stories puts me off.

Currently with NatWest and after a iPhone transfer all I need to do is log in again using customer ref, pin and password. As easy as that.

Starling are excellent

Another year and ee still didn't implement Apple's esim transfer function.

I had a sim and esim with ee- primary and business line.
Esim transferred to my new phone just when the phones were paired for transfer. No issues at all. Perhaps it’s esim to esim that’s ok but sim to esim is where the issues are?

I’d recommend the pitaka magez case. It’s so thin it pretty much feels like using the phone naked but I actually think it enhances grip and makes it feel even better!

 

[aldo82]

Starling are excellent

Switched to staling as my current account at the start of the year and haven’t looked back. Really impressed with them

 

[aldo82]

Disappointed with battery life on my first full day with the 14PM. 41% left with just over 3 hours screen on. That’s not bad but coming from a 13PM I know that that phone was so much better than that when new. Will switch APD off tomorrow and see what affect it has. I set up as new so it can’t be any legacy stuff affecting battery life

 

[shawn-mr]

How are you all faring with your battery life on 14PM?

 

[henrys]

MusicMagpie - can we create a sell order online and drop it off at the kiosk? Or is the kiosk completely separate to online process?

I've had the pitaka case in the past and agree that it's great but....a fingerprint magnet! Drove me nuts!
