Just for the fun of it I went through the Barclays finance as never been approved before and this time it went through and got approved in minutes.

Cancelled the pre-order on the credit card.

Do you any of you fellas or ladies know if eSim is available for pay as you go in the UK ? Im assuming pay monthly eSim requires credit check ? Cheers

I believe eSim is only for contracts in the UK - no pay and go available on any network.

...lets hope these early Armorite ones don't suffer from #lintgate like last year.

Sure it’ll be be fine. Had no such issues myself but think others that did were able to get them swapped out free of charge.

 

[Fred Zed]

Unless it's changed very recently, eSim isn't available on PAYG in the UK on any network.

Thanks. Do the pay monthly eSim requires credit checks. ? I’m assuming they all do. I guess using an American iPhone 14 will greatly impact my ability to get a local number.

Some carriers might do it if you ask nicely, but by default, no.

All Pay Monthly plans in the UK require a credit check

 

[zildMacjian]

any carriers in UK put pricing up yet or offered to any customers? interested to see monthly pricing for the new pros

edit: looks still in the "register interest" stage

Always good to hear what Brownlee has to say!

Ah ok. I’m looking for the cost to buy out the contract. Not the upgrade fee

Thanks. Will give this a go

Be prepared for the inevitable “why do you want to leave” calls. Started calling me within 30 mins once

Oh lord I almost wish they didn't have a choice of colours! After keynote I was set on silver Pro Max for the bright white back as a change from my 12PM Gold then I saw the Space Black and decided that might be cool. Now I just watched a video wiht the purple which I was completely discounting and am think hmmmmmm. Right now am buffing up my gold 12 and thinking how nice the gold looks!

Want to narrow down to 2 colours to order and return one.

At these prices it feels more important as can't change after a year anymore. Am on 2 year cycles at the moment and even that feels. Of course I could change after I get but how long might I have to wait and I will have sent away my 12 for trade in so wont have an alternative. Also its going in a clear lanyard case.

Wanted to change my 256 pre order to 128 but had used the Barclays finance so can’t change it. Decided to do another order for the 128 and got approved again so thankfully now have the cheaper option to go for (I’ll wait to get 256 when apple make it the smallest size). Might have hit my credit score doing two applications but I don’t plan to get finance again until this time next year so should be fine by then!

You can also send INFO to 85075, which doesn’t trigger the switching code request

I think the preorder is just a soft search so won't show on your credit record/history and if you are only going to actually complete the order on the 128 tomorrow I think you will be okay.

No its a hard search, that's the entire point, its full pre-approval in order to speed up the process tomorrow.

Anyone know if a cheap amazon case is actually an iphone 14 case ?

Going on holiday the day after release and the case I want wont ship till Oct

 

[johnyslats]

Like we’re going to forget!

 

[aldo82]

When you cancel apple care that’s been paid as a lump sum, will they cancel immediately on the day you call or can you ask them to cancel it on a specific date in the future?

When do we have until for pre orders - is it tonight?

 

[Pedster]

I maybe unique here but I have ordered teh Spigen iPhone 14 Pro case. It is £12.99 so relatively "cheap" I think.

 

[johnyslats]

I would aim to do it by midnight. Store may well be down when we wake

 

[Saladin12]

What colour MagSafe wallets are people looking to pair with the Dark Purple iPhone?

 

[MrJM]

That's my 13 Pro off to Music Magpie. Im a bit nervous as I literally just boxed it, took it to the post office, scanned the barcode and off it went!

Going for a 128 Pro in purple I think, although the black is tempting!

Feeling a bit aggrieved with the pricing. Im essentially getting 128gb less for about £4 more a month!
