Sorry fellas. I have been an iPhone user for a decade but I just realised I never get them around the time of launch. I, however, want a 14 Pro Max from a store (not online, for diverse reasons). Any idea if these are stocked regularly in stores that might not be announced in the stock check on the Apple website? Just to see if is worth going one day early morning and asking or if is really not. Thanks!

Unfortunately nope you need to just keep checking stock.
No point ever just turning up to store you will be waiting a long time

There is the inventory stock check app for MacOS that can do this for you.

Free of charge.

They will come handy towards iPhone 15 Pro accessories.

Well one very happy camper here up and running with the iPhone 14 Pro Max now :) Makes my iPhone X look like a baby in comparison!

Just don't be an idiot like me and transfer everything from your old iPhone then straight away erase your old one, online banking apps all wanted setting up from scratch which went OK as I had all the details handy apart from First Direct who suggest you get a security code off your existing phone to activate the new one...err oops! (Annoyingly it now involves a phone call to them as I can't even get into desktop online banking!) - although I don't think I want to look at my finances for a few weeks now anyway ;)

Also lost all my Microsoft Authenticator codes as it turns out you're supposed to manually enable iCloud backup in the settings of that app but I've managed to regenerate all my needed codes now hopefully

Apart from that all good, Spigen Ez Fit screen protector went on flawlessly to the extent I can't even tell it is on there and ESR Clear Magsafe case fits like a glove and feels nice and rigid

I'm currently treating it like a fragile antique still almost forgetting I've got AppleCare on the thing!

Glad your happy.

Yep First Direct and HSBC require codes from old device.
MA doesn’t toggle iCloud backup by default annoyingly.

Spigen EZ Fit is easily the best protector and applicator I have used.

I am rocking caseless this time round. Purchased full body armour from xtremeskins as recommended previously in thread!!

You could have bought the digital ones sent via email. Why waiting for physicals?

Just the novelty of having a physical card in a world where everything is now digital lol.

Plus with Amazon T&C not allowing to use promotional credits. I thought they might cancel digital order.

Re Microsoft Authenticator codes, is it really as simple as enabling iCloud backup in the settings of the app?

I don't use it myself, but my partner does, and he basically handles the IT needs for a small organisation (so he has a LOT of authentication keys...) anyway, it's always been such a hassle to hand down my previous phone, last year he didn't take my old phone for four months! He still hasn't taken on my old 13 pro max and I've had the 14 pm since launch. He wants the newer device but is convinced manual transfer (which he typically does) will take forever so he keeps putting it off.

Is it a newer function?

Yes there’s a setting to enable iCloud backups. The issue I had with my work MS accounts was they they needed the qr code associated with the account to be rescanned.

Had to get the admins to provide access as one account I’d hit the limit on associated mfa devices.

All the non MS/azure AD accounts were fine

Still 1st-8th of Nov for my 14 pro SB and still processing! Did check at stores near me for any stock in any colour but no luck and nothing expected until December for the deep purple! Gotta just be patient and wait.
