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

[Mr.C]

This is the exact deal I'm on (though I seem to be £25.56 per month). I assume you have a 20% perk on this? That seems to expire after 24 months, forcing you to either accept the full price, or find a new (generally worse!) plan and get the 20% off.

Yes I got a 20% student discount on it. I wasn’t aware that expires when the plan expires. I’m surprised your monthly cost is slightly different from mine. Even if it increases in price if it’s lower then the current “Best Speed” plans then I may stay with it.

 

[Jinjin]

Oh it absolutely will!

Yup sure will, Apple need to keep those margins up… they’ve made a big gap between the standard 14 and the pro, now to squeeze more money out from us, they’ll do it again

 

[RossMacca]

Music Magpie came through and sent me the extra £38 that the Smart Kiosk didn't give me. Will definitely use that service again.

£620 for my 13 Pro. Now to refund the AppleCare+.

Easy phone call to Apple and I have another £93 coming my way (well, via Barclays). Will do the sums soon to confirm, but I feel like I'm £150-200 better off than doing my usual iUP hand-the-phone-back.

I'd like to say I'll keep the 14P for 2 years, but who am I kidding?

I usually upgrade my phone every two years. My partner has made a deal with me (somehow) that if I upgrade to the iPhone 15 next year, I have to give her my 14 Pro. Apple, please add all the fun stuff to the Max/Ultra model next year, which I definitely won't want...?

Main reason I have decided to change to a 24 month upgrade cycle instead of 12 month, been upgrading yearly since the 5S. 😟

yep you will be.. good to have you on board with this method!

been doing this since the first IUP offer launched in 2016! probably saved the equivalent of a new phone in that time!

 

[Jinjin]

hmm it would be 14 days tomorrow that I received my elderberry case for the pro..... if I don't return that, I'm not contemplating a max


edit: mail in return initiated and needs to be back by 10th oct!.... no commitment if I don't and decide to keep it 😂

The mental gymnastics we go through is unbelievable isn't it?

Currently trying to convince myself that my gen 1 AirPods Pro are absolutely fine and don't need upgraded...

 

[sahajesh]

Damn! Will CEX buy a 14 Pro case as my swap to Pro Max means my early order for the Pro case is beyond the Apple return date?

 

[sahajesh]

Or does anyone want to buy a very lightly used 14 Pro Ink Leather case?

 

[alFR]

My phone is on 16.0.2 and still has that like buzzing noise from the camera. It is very low and doesn't bother me but should it be exchanged?

As Sal said, it’s normal (well, both my 13 Pro and 14 Pro do it and neither has any issues with the camera that I’m aware of / can see in the images).

Thanks @Qountdown !!

Still no movement on my Oct 3 - 10 14 Pro.

I _think_ that you can re-apply the discount now you are off contract if you are still a student. At least that seemed to be what was explained to me when I applied my NHS discount a couple of days ago.
