and if you're adamant you don't want them, prepare to have your mind changed!
but after 3 years, those tiny batteries in them must be in need of replacing soon? trade in with CEX whilst the price is decent and the cost of change it smaller than expected... like you said previously... you're not spending money, you're SAVING money!

What a nightmare - was it from a locker? I ask because I sometimes use Parcelshop lockers and a few times they used to open with someone else's parcel already stored inside. Would be very easy to steal in that instance.
Was it also obvious from the brown outer box?
Yeah i got the awaiting payment email now. Payments made around 10pm it says.
See - logic prevails!!!but after 3 years, those tiny batteries in them must be in need of replacing soon? trade in with CEX whilst the price is decent and the cost of change it smaller than expected... like you said previously... you're not spending money, you're SAVING money!
I snagged a 256GB PM SB last night in Belfast, just got to keep checking the stock on your phone. I reserved it under iUP but went with Barclays finance in the store
There really is no point in stealing iPhones when it’s so easy to block them
My finger slipped, your honour…
Wanted to say a big thank you to all who mentioned Rebuy on here. I finally decided to give them a go and had DPD pick up my Pro Max 13 yesterday and just had notification that my payment will be made this evening for the full amount of £733 (256gb). Great experience all round!
Thats A good price, think apple via their vendor is about 615. Might give this a try, I have 13pm 512
Wow - Rebuy offering £606 for an iPhone 13 Pro 128GB (Sierra Blue) vs £525 on Music Magpie.
go on...Wow - Rebuy offering £606 for an iPhone 13 Pro 128GB (Sierra Blue) vs £525 on Music Magpie.
Yeah a massive difference that’s why I want with rebuy awaiting payment for the full £606 happy days.Wow - Rebuy offering £606 for an iPhone 13 Pro 128GB (Sierra Blue) vs £525 on Music Magpie.
It’s arrived the case @Jinjin mentioned this morning.
Doesn’t work well with MagSafe, it’s quite thick. Will give it a few days.

shame it doesn't do well with MagSafe! how does it go with the Apple Watch charger (if you've got one to hand?)
it might have to do as a temp case until the big guns get theirs out
Is this compatible with MagSafe? - sorry just saw the comment. It is a no for me. I can understand to protect a phone, watch etc. but on the contrary I keep the AirPods case protection free and the damage is minor...It’s arrived the case [mention]Jinjin [/mention] mentioned this morning.

on a side note, the level of noise cancellation in AirPods Pro 2 is mind-blowing 🤯
No, it was from a DPD pickup place.
It wasn't obvious from the outer box but when I looked afterwards I could see some of the tape had been removed and put back on.
The funny thing is that I thought the box was extra light when I first picked it up and Apple might have shipped an 13 mini by accident. 😂
Doesn't conenct, only just about connects with magsafe. The other thing is no cut out for the light on the front.
Well in the end when MM works, it does just that!
So after Wednesday's dismal performance of visiting my 2 closest Asda stores with Smart Drop Kiosks, only for both of them to be in some way out of order, I went back to one today. It was working and the whole process was done in not much over 5 minutes and the full quoted price was paid (to be fair if MM had a 'As New' category it could have passed for that rather than just their 'good' as there wasn't a mark on it, even hairline from what i could see). £800 total for a 512gb 13PM to show that re-saving quotes works nicely.
I saved a quote with them on the 24th Aug (Far Out event announcement day) for £780 + a £10 voucher. Added it to my basket 13 days later (didn't want to risk some sort of mid way through the day cut off on the 14th day), removed the £10 voucher and replaced it with 'UPGARDE22' for the £20 bonus, but then just re-saved rather than proceeding to checkout. Left it there for another 13 days until Monday when i proceeded through the checkout, and on what, day 5 of my 21 days to get it to them, the Kiosk worked a treat. After the pain shared on here re BACS over the weekend i went for PayPal and the money was in my account 5-10 minutes later. Just checked the offer price on MM today and its down to £612 from the £780! (That said Rebuy look to still be offering £758 for an 'As New' phone, but I'm guessing much more of a chance of someone else not seeing it as that). And even on eBay the realistic going rate only looks to be £850-900 (minus fees and postage) ish from recent sales, I'll sell the box etc on there to recoup some of the difference, but happy to lose a bit of money to avoid the jeopardy that inherently comes with eBay (not that I've ever had an issue, but there's always a first time).
So anyway, lets hope that trick still works next year (probably shouldn't have posted this).

great as it negates the need for a burner!
might sell my Xr next year if that's the case!
Swapping my day 1 ESR Clear Case for the Apple Leather Case in Deep Ink. Picking up from the Metro Centre today. The ESR case is decent enough but I can't get away with the white MagSafe outline and the slightly imperfect fit along the top edge which is already accumulating pocket lint that stands out when the light catches it just right.
