Have to be in the office twice a week. One of those days is super flexible and guess what the mandated day is? Yep, every Tuesday 😂…
Same. Tuesday and Thursday for me. Should at least keep me busy so the day doesn’t drag. Thankfully office days tend to be 8am to 4pm. Plenty of time to grab keynote snacks on the way back
 
Hey everyone! Hope you’re all good 😊 I’m going to be upgrading from a 13 pro max and can’t wait!

Can someone help me understand the iPhone upgrade programme please?

I did it years ago and it was purely available in store. Is the process the same?

Is it possible to reserve online now?

When does the credit check take place?
 
I also have Tuesday as a WFH day, otherwise I wouldn’t get back on time! 😂 Hopefully any 5pm meetings with our American clients finish on time!
Unfortunately although I am based here in UK, all my colleagues and team are in the US, spread across from EST and CST. I normally work until 8pm UK, but am going to try to finish 6pm sharp (I WFH anyway).

I’m away in Canada with work next week. Assuming the usual process of pre order on the Friday with the option to pre approve the finance, can I do all that from out of the country or will the Apple Store want me to be in the UK to put the order through? I am back on the Saturday but if I wait that long to put the order through then no doubt delivery dates will have slipped a long way back so was hoping to put the order through as soon as I can when not in meetings on the Friday
 
With the new Pro models expected to be titanium, I'm actually tempted to brave it and go naked this time round.
Thinking it may be a little more durable and more resistant to those annoying tiny marks, scratches etc.

There is only 1 MVNO that offers eSim (Lyca Mobile). None of the others are offering eSIM yet - GiffGaff, Smarty, Voxi, Tesco, Asda, Sky. There is no way the SIM tray will go this year for the UK market.

The MVNO networks still see eSIM as a luxury, what I don't think they have factored is they can get people joining a lot easier, albeit, it means people can leave a lot easier as well. I also think it is the Host MNOs that is restricting the MVNOs from having access to the technology.
Sky Mobile offer eSIM

Been following this thread for the past 10 pages or so (first time poster on here).

Currently have an iPhone 13 Pro as haven't really done the yearly upgrade thing as never felt it necessary to do so every year (only really had two or three previous iPhones in the past, which I've always bought outright).

Since the inception of that magic island thing at the top of the iPhone 14 display (or is it called dynamical island or something like that?), I have hated it and was the reason I decided to make my current iPhone 13 Pro the last and only iPhone I would ever upgrade to. I know its an iOS thing but I think it looks terrible so wont go beyond what I currently have now.

Also, looking at the unofficial pics of them cases - I also do not like that action button thing (if it is indeed real), but hey. each to their own!
