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

[sparkie1984]

Apologies if this has already been asked. Is it normal for the pre preorder to only display single and monthly payment options?

I’m on the upgrade program and there’s no option for that, even though I’ve confirmed I’m now eligible to upgrade.

Will this option only become available tomorrow?

It rings a bell that this happened last year as well and I can’t remember what I did.

Annoying lack of info about the upgrade program as usual.

I’ve long wanted a way of us being able to apply online for the iUP!!

Can’t believe they don’t offer it

I know the feeling come 13:01 tomorrow panic mode will be engaged and the Apple store will be open on every device I own 😂

especially as everyone start posting their 'order complete' brags

Probably already been spoken about I saw people buying screen protectors. Coming from a 13 pro max to 14 pro max do you think the old screen protectors will be compatibl. The screen is still the same size and they just have a cut out for the speaker at the top. 🤔

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Just ordered my Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case and EZ screen protector for my iPhone PM 256GB Silver! 😎

Hopefully they have improved since I had one on my 12 PM it went yellow within a few months

 

[Jadesharp1992]

So, contemplating getting the iPhone 14 pro in purple. I currently have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but I have such small hands, so would really like the smaller screen size. really wasn’t going to do this…

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Hey all!!

Who’s here of the old sweats?

@Jinjin @Cutiekitty92 @Azzin @troubleonline and god knows who else!

How have we all been?

Hellooooo, good! You? What’s caught your eye this year?

 

[JamesHP]

Gone for the Spigen EZ Fit screen protectors. Checked this morning and couldn't see them but they seem to have come online on Amazon during the day today.

That’s phase 2!!!
Phase 1 was keynote
Phase 2 get ordered
Phase 3 cry when DHL fail to deliver
Phase 4 start talking about iPhone 15 and how much we get from music magpie for our 14

 

[Joseph C]

😂 Just go silver you won’t be disappointed and you know you can just buy a dark 15 next year 😂

You're right. When you put it like that. Thank you, I'm gonna do it! I've worked out this is my 15th iPhone (or is it 14th... anyway...) and it's going to be SILVER! The times they are a-changin' folks, you heard it here first!

Ugh I'm delirious. Can't wait for us all to be able to (sort of) relax at just after 1pm tomorrow. Not that we will mind, as we'll all be agonising for the following 7 days til launch day!

 

[mypyh4ooo]

I still think it’s a little stupid that we have to wait a week to get the phones. Probably a bit too impatient for my own good sometimes 😂

It’s all part of the fun 😂

I am planning to pay via Apple Pay tomorrow. As I have lost my physical credit card and do not know the 3 digit security number! 😔 So relying on the saved version on Apple Pay.

How fragile is Apple Pay? I have seen a few comments that suggests people have previously experienced issues with Apple Pay on pre-order launch day, was this at check out or after order confirmation?

Contemplating buying gift vouchers but even that seems long too….

I’ve had such problems trying to purchase via Apple Pay for large purchases. I used it recently to order for collection an iPad and it got declined by my bank so that was a pain

Proven formula and we are all conditioned for this.
I do like the pre-pre order. Wonder if it is more to help us or more to help Apple with expectations.

It’s definitely getting harder to order with card, I did an appstore purchase for 99p and got a redirected to iTunes Store then website to do authentication through my bank app. Apple Pay never had an issue with.

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Am I brave? Will I really go for the silver, breaking Space Gray tradition since my first ever, iPhone 3G and every year since then?

Am I bold? Or will my mouse click the Space Black option tomorrow and be done with it?

Welcome to my existential crisis.

Reverse for me, the last time I had a black iPhone was the iPhone 4….

Am equally proud and ashamed to say I know my 16 digit number and security code by heart due to volume of online transactions. Find it hard to remember my pin though as almost always use Apple Pay in shops.

This thread is going to be hot tomorrow. Hopefully EE has plenty of stock in, usually pretty quick to drop to 21 days, checked all addresses and payment info just to make sure I’m all good to go and get checked out by 13:10 at the latest.

you just gotta know how to play the game

 

[SPMR]

All this talk of screen protectors has got me thinking. Will the 13 Pro / Pro Max screen protectors for the 14 Pro / Pro Max? I have loads from the 13 Pro / Pro Max sitting around.

I think I’ll be okay with card tomorrow, already done my verify with visa via HSBC for the one time passcode etc when I selected my pre order

Yeah still breathing so can’t complain!

Nice to see a lot of the familiar faces, yet to see Dino F and Azzin but I’ve only just joined into this thread

Hi everyone,

Anyone know when Currys/Argos will have these for sale? Argos does say pre-order on the 10th which is not very specific (time wise). Intend to use some gift cards at argos that I can get at 20% off alongside 10% cashback to reduce the effective cost.

this is SO true! Im on here watching everyone saying how easy it was to order and the "£$"$"~### apple store will be down for my on every device for another 20 minutes. I sometimes feel like it's some psychological experiment Apple are conducting on me.

Every time Argos have done a preorder, from iPhone to PS5, the drop has always been around 7:30am
