Very interesting, I'd like to know if this is geo-located for US only or will hit the UK and European stores too. This is all new for Apple launch orders if true!

Hands-on immediate stock could be for the big cities only on Tuesday.

I'm in Italy, if time I'll do a walk-in visit to my local Apple store to see if I can squeeze any juicy launch details from them.

Just noticed in my company rewards which is powered by RewardGateway they are doing 5% off Apple Gift Cards instead of 4%. Purchasing £1300 for £1248, every penny is a saving.

Same here and expires in 6 days. I assume if you buy like £1000 worth it will be a single code and not £100 x10?

This is how my account looks now, shows go drop it for £845 but the order shows £680. I locked in for my 14 days at £845
(09:38:16) Pearl
A moment, please.
(09:43:34) Pearl
Okay so having enquired about this with my supervisor, I can confirm that the £845.00 was a pricing error. I do apologize for that. The reason why you received the £680, is that the offer price for iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB UNLOCKED is £700 and you need to pay the convenience fee which is £10.
(09:44:05) Me
It is not a pricing error, it was a saved amount before checout
(09:44:29) Me
I have heard reports if I had chosen RM then it would have retained the price
(09:44:45) Me
I locked in my price weeks ago and saved it
(09:45:11) Me
Just like I have another one saved for 755
(09:45:49) Pearl
Unfortunately, we can't amend this at all. I do apologize for this

What is the point in the feature when you lock it for 14 days
(09:46:34) Me
and then say it is a pricing error
(09:47:28) Me
I have used MM in the past and there is a forum of over 1000 people who are currently discussing this practice by MusicMagpie
(09:47:49) Pearl
This only happens when there is a pricing error.
(09:48:04) Me
There has been no pricing error, it was locked in
(09:48:52) Me
Was the 755 a pricing error as well or are you just regrading everyone who locked in higher than the current price and calling it a pricing error
(09:50:05) Me
I will advise everyone in the forum that they need to source another Trade In site as the locked in does not mean locked in it means pricing error
(09:50:25) Me
Except when you said by Royal Mail
(09:50:34) Me
As it only happens on SmaertDROP
(09:50:57) Me
When choosing Royal Mail or ASDA it retains the locked in price
(09:53:40) Pearl
Even if it was locked in, the order was not completed so the price was either going to be changed now before the selling order or the kiosk machine.
(09:54:00) Pearl
I understand nd I do apologize for this.
(09:54:36) Me
no problem, just so you are aware and for transparency this chat will be posted in the forum

Made up rules once always finding ways to not to pay out google the Ceo email send a nice email that what i did with virgin media and many other companies they also backtrack and honor the offer.
 
Sent my 13 Pro Max to Twig this morning, let see if they are reputable or also charlatans. The device was virtually pristine and they quoted £606 at checkout, so fingers crossed. Ended up downgrading from iOS 17 to 16 to avoid any hassle.. (thanks everyone!)
 
How can they say its a pricing error when few days ago they were paying out saved order prices via Kiosk.

Im sure some one on here took their device to Kiosk and was paid full price.

Be careful with this, sometimes it gives you small increments and there is a limit to the number of vouchers you can use in a single purchase in the Apple Store or even online, so best bet is to apply the vouchers to your Apple ID Balance and redeem in one go via the online store.

If I get the 15PM I will hand my 13PM down to my wife, and her 12Pro down to my daughter, keeping her XS as a spare!

My launch day 14PM battery health is at 87% and can't last a full day without a charge.

My wife has my 13PM from last year and the battery appears to be much better.

Same problem with my 14PM and same routine - overnight MagSafe charging. I think MagSafe is the culprit.
 
Yeah I do that - straight on my apple balance. Only issue I had is I have 2 Apple IDs - one that i do my purchases and one for iCloud, so I have to log into the store with the purchase one - and it doesn't show the balance on my phone only the mac when I log in as that if you see what i mean. No biggie, but means I can't purchase easily from the phone.
 
I hate things like this imagine sending my apple watch worth only "£70" into one of these charlatan scammers cost me £7 something pounds for special delivery royal mail saying a fault during testing ask them to return send it to another charlatans scammer that almost £14 down the drain on postage cost screw that waste of time,energy and stress.

My launch day 13PM is on 91% at the moment.
I do not use wireless/MagSafe due to the heat generated.
I always connect to a 20w Apple Adapter when my phone is around 20%, an dthen charge to anything between 80-90%.
I'll go to 100% if I know I'll be away for more then a day with no access to a charger, or if I know Im travelling and will be using the handset a lot.
 
Okay so from this all, that deffo secures my decision to send the newest price today as they clearly aren’t going to honour the previous quotes.
