Other UK iPhone 16/16 Plus/16 Pro/16 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

[kamran9558]

Couldn’t find the UK thread this year so here it goes.

What’s everyone’s thoughts about the newly released models and do we have the UK pricing published now?

Finally!

16 Pro Max, undecided On Desert Titanium or Natural

Really disappointing. Can’t see many meaningful benefits of 16pm over 15pm. I need to upgrade to 512gb but it’s gonna feel painful parting with £1400 for same screen, and paltry camera upgrade - not even made zoom better with AI, missed opportunity

 

[Bazooka-joe]

16 pro Max in black titanium. Can’t pre-order as yet though.

 

[kamran9558]

I’m really thinking about the normal 16 this time around. The gap between the 16 and the pro models is quite small

 

[Webcat86]

I thought the phone announcements were excellent, AI actually looks great and so do the camera upgrades. I was planning on going regular from my 14PM but now think I’ll do the smaller Pro

 

[Volcano22]

I didn’t upgrade last year so still using a 14 pro, looking forward to desert titanium 16 pro!

 

[jack_1992]

I think I’ll be going for the Pro Max. Probably Desert as I usually go for the new colour!

Thought about the 16 but the ProRes I got too used to. When I use a 15 at the min, it’s too obvious to me now

 

[UKapple73]

I do quite like the desert titanium, but bet it will sell out by 8.03 am just when the page opens for me

 

[leebroath]

I’ve been on the Apple website but nothing I can see

I remember back ordering our iPhone 14 Pro Max’s we were able to approve our funds, and on pre order day it was a very easy simple task to finally push the button

Has this been removed now, or does this activate a few days before this Friday?

13 PM currently. 16 PM looking likely, though the difference with the regular is a lot smaller this year.

All those new cameras. 256 enough, or 512. Probably 256 for me (I never even got close to using 256 on current 13 pm)

 

[Rockbird86]

I didn't upgrade last year either. The 15 is the first model I've ever missed. Will be upgrading this year for sure to the 16PM but the colours are sending me to sleep.

 

[Tinkerbellaa22]

I got the 15 Pro last year, but I'll be upgrading to the 16 Pro for the improved camera. After that, I'm holding off on upgrades for a few years.

 

[RossMak]

I am still on 13 Pro Max, still don’t think I will be upgrading to be honest

 

[Jackorias]

Not sure I will upgrade, but I'm also not certain that I won't...

If I do it'll be a base model black 16 Pro coming from my base model natural 15 Pro. Main reason being the battery and hopefully slightly cooler phone.

That’s what I keep telling myself each year 😁

 

[gadget.guy]

pro max for me but the pro at 6.3 is now an interesting option

i still think apple are price gouging countries outside the USA current exchange is 1.31 and heading higher according to forcasts.

even taking in consideration a 20% tax rate in the states were paying 11% more than americans they are truly an american company and treat international customers far worse imo. But they are Apple and can do this.

rant over

upgrading from a 14 pro max so should be an decent upgrade.

 

[sahajesh]

How long until you can do finance etc checks for the 24 month plan, ready for Friday?

 

[Bungleaio]

I will be going for a 16 pro in black with 256gb. Should be a decent upgrade from my 13 pro.

I wonder when the preorders will commence on the 13th

 

[Ozanne]

I posted this in the iPhone 15 thread earlier.

https://sell.smartcellular.co.uk/

Has anyone used this site before, they are offering £690 for my iPhone 15 Pro 128GB which seems too good to be true, but they seem a legit company and have plenty of reviews. 14 days to get the phone to them too.

 

[harryisere]

I have the 13 pro max 1TB in white and will be upgrading to the 16 PM 1TB in black probably.

Not sure but think it could be Wednesday?

 

[AVBeatMan]

I’m looking to join the upgrade programme but can’t find out how to do this? Any ideas?

 

[Azzin]

Black 16PM.

It’s the phone Batman would have.

 

[David1986H]

Im keeping it neutral this time and going for the natural titanium 16PM to replace my red 14 plus which was a bad decision last time.
