Farewell until WWDC….
See you all soon. Thanks for the fun and YouTube premium
Wait!
This morning I’ve picked my 14PM 256GB Silver from Apple Milton Keynes.
The entire process has been super smooth and the girl didn’t even mention iUP when I asked to pay with gift card and c card. Went early and it wasn’t an issue. Entrance was packed, for a moment I feared long wait.
Earlier this week I did manage to buy an Apple Gift card from Amazon using my gift balance, but when I tried for a second one the day after they blocked my account.
What a bunch of tw*t!
@dbrose thanks for your guidance and explanation on launch period, last time I bought an iPhone was 2015, 6S, reserved online few hrs before collection, couple of weeks after launch. iPad Pro purchase in 2018 was easy as well.
Things have changed…. I know Amazon has a bad reputation for expensive products, I tried, shame parcel was less than an hour from where I live before it got lost(stolen).

Ultra dressed up for a nice meal. Just passable 😂
It’s cute that you all think this thread is done for the year - and you’re all kidding yourselves 😂. I’ll see you all here in a couple of days once the new ipads/macs are announced…
I’m off before I’m left alone talking to myself.
It’s been emotional.
Best wishes to you all!

It's sad to see this thread wrapping up, but will look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
Makes no odds. If you are buying a 15 then what the hell!!
These devices are designed for fast charging. You will be waiting a while on a 5w charge. Even MagSafe is 15w. I normally use MagSafe or a 67w charger.
Scroll back a few pages there is discussion over battery charging. The end result has generally been the phone is going in 11 months so doesn’t matter!!!!
Makes sense. I’d never spent any time thinking about it but it’d be daft if there was only the front door on Buchanan St.
Finally got my space black pro replacement after waiting a month.
Can’t believe my launch day model had missing paint around the port.
Anyway, long old wait time but it’s finally here and set up, my esim pack didn’t turn up in time from O2 but I’ll still switch as I’m 99% sure UK/EU model will be esim only next year Anyway.

I spotted the same at Apple Milton Keynes yesterday, the Space Black had Silver finish around the Lightining port.
But didn’t know it was a defect.
Overall happy with Silver, it makes it more special, I really like the frost white back panel.
Nope 99% sure that it won’t be eSim only next year. I think iPhone 16.
None of the MVNOs in the UK have eSim as yet and nothing PAYG that uses eSim on any network.
Yes US doesn’t have MVNO support generally but the big networks that support eSim support it for pre pay as well. Until that changes in the UK/Europe the pSim will remain.
The US already operate on different bands to us so to make another config change to the hardware made no difference anyway. It’s not like they have added anything to the device apart from a plastic spacer.
I agree it will be at least two more years before Apple makes eSIM as the only option here. The support for eSIMs here is not extensive enough yet.
Also need more of the main networks take up quick transfer of eSim.
I could see it if the likes of
Three
Sky Mobile
Tesco
GiffGaff
Voxi
Id mobile
Smarty
Lebara
Lycamobile
All get on eSim in the next 11 months and PAYG is introduced on eSim through these networks. But it’s all highly unlikely.
3 have had a trial of eSIM, now ended.
There's no reason that the MVNOs or prepay couldn't offer eSIM, both MVNO's and PAYG are all down to the network configuration rather than the SIM.
PAYG was my area of specialty when I worked in telecoms, although I am sure a lot has changed in the 9 years I've been out.

Ah it’s a lot harder than that. The eSim component and provisioning is handled by the MNO. They have have to allow the MVNO to use the technology.
It’s a huge problem in the states as the main networks won’t let the virtual networks in.
Image below is from MVNO Ting in the US. this was posted in 2018 and they have said still applies now. They are losing so much custom due to iPhone 14.
3 have screwed up the rollout. It keeps getting put back.
