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

I think it was my way of justifying this years purchase, it’s always inevitable 😂

Maybe Dino is financially better off being banned 🙈

And I’m back on the blue 14 plus.

I know the pro max has a lot more features, but I also know I’d spend the entire time I had it thinking ‘why didn’t I get the blue one’.

I also know to some it will be stupid going for aesthetics over features but it’s not like the 14 plus won’t do everything I need.

Just gutted I have to wait till October for it.

yeah its a shame about the delay...

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 up.

Have you placed an order for the Peel case? Have they provided any ETA/tracking? I 💙 Peel's "thin" frosted cases, but I got messed around for two years in a row - on the 12, it arrived in November (and I ordered as soon as they were released) and for the 13, it never arrived, I had to chase for a refund. 🙁

orange leather case has just arrived. photos make it look a bolder colour than it is, but still a nice shade in my opinion...

That paired with the gold iPhone
Got me contemplating changing colour now

 

[Jinjin]

Nice! What colour is that? Any major size differences against the 13?

Not at all - you do what makes you happy! Though of course you could just put a blue case on it!

I like that colour but swore blind a few years back never to order an leather Apple case ever again!

2 hours to go until we all try desperately to stay calm while flailing around, eyes wide and hands trembling.

How have you accumulated so many vouchers ?

But he definitely wasn’t going to upgrade this year.

Or was he?

Imagine what would happen if the UK announced a bank holiday for the 16th Sep! 😲

(I assume it's going to be the week after)

 

[johnyslats]

I'm going to order the elderberry too (once I can get back into the store)

Same. Should make for a great combo

Yeah. 19th at the earliest as I understand

We know the answer to that one 😂😂😂

How have you accumulated so many vouchers ?

A lot of people have been able to avail discounted Apple vouchers through employer rewards schemes etc. or buying Apple gift cards with discounted gift cards from other retailers. It's normally a 7%-ish saving from what I remember.

Possibly Monday 18th which is already one for many people. I suspect more likely the 19th.

yep, will good to see it in hand though. I had a purple/plum case a few years ago.. wonder if this years will be like the storm blue and bit lighter?


if anyone has an elderberry turning up today, then please share pics!

That’s a beautiful combination (Deep Purple and Elderberry).

Monday is the 19th

This is apparently the date of the Queen's funeral but not sure that's 100% confirmed.

Seeing the purple again is making me reconsider silver for the 100th time...
I'm just gunna shut my eyes and tap a random colour come 1pm.

Doh me!

 

[JamesHP]

My Storm Blue is here! To me it seems a very similar blue to my Pacific Blue 12PM.

Holding the case has me even more convinced the standard pro size is the one for me over my current Max.

They should do a lucky dip option!

Am back on the purple as it looks almost navy in some of the hands on images. That and gold (2nd). Maybe also silver (3rd). Think I've dropped black as an option. Could alway put the purple in a black case if that is what I stick with.

That’s probably a good idea actually. They are all really good colours.
