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

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

Yep mine also, even though it states ‘does not turn yellow‘ on Amazon

I bet pre orders are delayed due to the Queen

I am attempting to upgrade 2 lines on ATT thru apple store app and only am able to see option to upgrade my own phone line. The only other option is to select "New iphone on an existing ATT plan".

Let me know if you figure it out.

I did. Just go back and do another one from scratch.
You then look in the "for you" section to find both pre-orders

I wasn't going to get the 14 pro this year, but I went for the 256gb 14pro in space black in the end, pre approved finance and I'm locked in with MM for £671 on my 13pro.
My biggest issue is tomorrow I'm at work when ordering opens at 1pm and we have really poo 4G where I work and work won't allow personal devices to connect to wifi, so I'm not expecting to get my phone on launch day. Hopefully my 1bar signal will perform miracles for me!

I’m tempted to buy from the Apple Store but am concerned that it’ll be late arriving, or the order will go wrong, how has it gone for people in previous years with the get ready?

From the app? Or bricks and mortar?

It’s generally totally rock solid of late. Nothing like the mess early years used to be

Thank you 🙏

From the app

It’s the only way to go. Almost everyone on here use the app and have done for years. The last time I went to store was iPhone 7 the test has been Apple Store app. Even if Store pick up its via the app!!

Does anyone recall if Amazon typically sell official cases at launch and aren't they usually discounted? Not sure to what extent and whether worth holding out or just going through perks at work for 10%

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

Thank you, that's helpful!

I used Perks but if Amazon does them cheaper will just return it when I pick the phone up.

Trust in Argos is always a little squeaky bum whether you will get it or not as they have history of cancelling

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.

Heh, I'm planning to use the very same to get the AirPods Pro whenever they land at Argos. Hope your iPhone pre-order goes smoothly, I know Argos can be 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.

the days of creating mass hype and hysteria outside retail stores has gone... all about efficiency and sale figures now

My regular ESR screen protectors for the 14 Pro and Pro Max arrived, along with their basic clear case to tide me over until my super thin Peel case turns u

Are these the best ones to get now?

 

[Jinjin]

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

the jet black 7+ was my last black phone... will wait until we get something as good as that again before I'm tempted

That all disappeared really with Angela what’s her face from Burberry. She got rid of all the queuing. For timed slots through the day.

Admittedly quite late in the day but finally got my wife to do finance check and get ready for the pre-order tomorrow. Have to say the response was instant from Barclays - the email popped up like seconds after she clicked submit. Very impressed. She's getting the Deep Purple Pro 128gb.

I'll be getting the exact same model via Very tomorrow. Unless I decide last minute to go for the Pro Max... Happy to let anyone convince me one way or the other lol

 

[Jinjin]

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

yeah, not seen a peep from @Azzin this year!

Hi All. Just need some help.

Tried to do the pre-approval for the Barclays Loan. Got to the end where it says ‘tick this box to add your signature’ but it wouldn’t let me click on the box so couldn’t proceed further.

Had 2 emails come through in the mean time from Barclays. 1 saying I applied, another with my Password.

What do I do at this point? Once Pre-Orders start, what do I go to to use the Loan to purchase?

 

[Matt2000]

Has anyone’s cases been shipped yet? I ordered a leather case from Apple last night, due to be delivered tommorow but shows that it is still preparing for shipment.

 

[dbrose]

Wondering whether to collect from store or not which will bypass the having to wait for DHL. Last year I ended up having to go to DHL depot to get as it was out for delivery and then went back to depot. It was a mess.

its a piece of p... pie.

the pre pre orders aka getting ready, has really simplified the process
