I'd take it for granted that prices outside USA will go up…

I am ready to buy a 12.9" Pro, but waiting for the expected release in October.
But wondering if I shouldn't just nab a 2021 model right now. No bugs and issues… no expensive beta testing required from my side. 🙂

Maybe grab the 12.9” Pro like a few days before the event so you can return it if you decide the new one is worth it. That way you lock in the price at the lower rate and can swap if you choose to.

Yeah, it seems like the difference in charging speeds between the 20w charger and 30w charger are minimal: https://www.chongdiantou.com/archives/175427.html (great use for safari’s translate to English!)

I’m gonna save £10 and buy the 20w again.

unless you have iPads or the like around you want to charge with the same brick too?

Deep Purple - I wish it was more of a Silk Cut purple or the colour of the Queen’s crown.

Still, it’s better than the usual range of colours available in the Pro range.

It's Deep Purple not Regal Purple.

typical, it was my time to talk in my meeting when a 128 pm silver pops up at stratford😭😭😭😭

Personally, I think Apple hit the pinnacle of iPhone design years ago (they're just rehashing old designs now - the 14 has the design of the iPhone 4 almost), so its all about the software nowadays.

I kept my 13 Pro for many of the reasons you mentioned above.

First time I’ve returned a phone in about 10 years, sticking with 13 Pro Max for another year. Just felt like a very incremental upgrade. Just my opinion. Also watching YouTube I found the island more intrusive than the notch in full screen mode. Oh well I’ll go through it all again next year no doubt 🤣

The Torras (feels quite sloppy in my hand)…

Managed to reserve one in basingstoke, as a just in case, but the email says this

I want to pay on finance, and not the upgrade programme at all, will this be an issue when i go in store?

 

[Cloudystarss]

Get it!

No, they don’t care how you pay, just that you do. 😉

No you’ll be fine.

Ok thank you all! Still going to see if i can get one closer, maybe at one of the westfields, basingstoke is 1hr 40 for me hahah

EDIT: seems like store got stock today? the page hasnt been without atleast one type of phone in stock for a while

The Memumi cases also have branding on them, which I’m not a big fan of when it comes to 3rd party cases…

So my trade in has arrived at RM central hub today. I dropped it off at the local RM delivery office on Saturday morning and it appears from tracking to have sat there until late night Monday/early yesterday morning but I still think I probably got a day ahead than dropping at a Post Office. Its showing as delivered (but with the usual email caveat that means at RM central hub and that I'll get another email when they have actually received and are testing). How long are the most recent MM traders finding it takes to move from RM hub to MM? I think I still have 8 calendar days but recall some people saying MM quote 7 working days.

Am really enjoying the 14PM though still a bit undecided on which colour to keep! I've been using the Silver but not sure anymore. Will get them out tonight or tomorrow and have a look at the purple again or maybe open the gold.

Looks like I may still need to find myself a nice, MagSafe case… 👀
