Last year i bought wallets on pre order day in store.
Must be on a store-by-store basis, then.

Birmingham store staff didn't know about them until I mentioned they were available for collection. They also didn't know how to get one for me unless I was collecting it, so I placed an order via the app and had to wait for them to get it for me...

I've only realised this morning when looking back at some early threads that the 128gb PM doesn't have the full 4K pro res capability for obvious storage reasons and am now worried I should have gone for the 256gb. All the colours I've preordered are at 128gb as with iCloud storage that is generally ample for me despite the volume of photos and videos on my phone. I want to get more into video aspects so think I have made an error but really . Is it overkill for a non professional? Tell me it is!!

EDIT - yes i've decided it is unnecessary for me!

They're announcing Royal Salutes at 1pm in London (Hyde Park, Tower Bridge), I almost feel bad being intensely concentrated on the purchase... I mean I'm not going to wait till it's finished, but it's going to feel odd with that on the TV and my attention fully on treating myself...😳

I had a 256 13P but never once used 4k pro res.. or even remembered it was a thing! videos still look great!

Good decision I think. Unless you plan to do a lot of post-processing for professional looking videos, I would say no, I personally wouldn't use this as the only reason to go to 256GB. Stick with your 128GB pre-pre-order.
 
is it 1pm yet?

Well if I get into using video more I will have justification for next time I upgrade! I also just bought a 'budget' gimbal and it looks like the new image stabilisation might already render that redundant. Will compare when 14 arrives.

Thanks - only other aspect will be volume of 48K photos but my 1Tb iCloud storage should be able to handle this.

Yeah I'd love to have a bit more storage but like you said, iCloud storage should be enough!
I've recently got a drone and had been saving the 4K footage onto my phone directly so the increased storage would be useful, but I should be editing on my computer anyway really!

so who is going the carrier route this year? tempted by annual upgrade again just for the lack of hassle.

I am, as ever - O2 upgrade! They are always very reliable and dependable in my experience (hope I've not jinxed it now!)

gimbals are great though.. can do some cool stuff with them!

I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile (from 2018/19 now!). its portable enough and great fun to play with... and it doesn't break the bank!
