How do you know how long you have to send the phone? I couldn’t see it called out anywhere
14 days, from this page https://www.mazumamobile.com/how. Also if you log into your online account and view your order, there's an expiry date 14 days from your initial order entry date.

Yes. Came the day after I ordered it.
Would you possibly be able to confirm if it, itself, can be recharged via MagSafe? Like, can you put the MagSafe battery on a MagSafe charger to charge or does it only charge itself via USB?
 
Royal Mail do cover if your sending yourself :)

Sorry I meant MMs postage doesn’t cover the value of the phone.


Please note: this QR code generates a Royal Mail Tracked 48 label and so the parcel, and its contents, are covered up to £150 in value. If you would like to purchase special delivery and be covered up to £750 in value, please request this at the post office.

Not sure if this still works but I use their label and then upgrade at the post office counter, that way, you only pay the difference between standard postage (which is pre-paid) and Special delivery which saves you a few quid.

Just did some experimenting.

When I put it on my Anker Cube, no dice. When I plugged it in with USB-C, little orange light (obviously). When I put it on my Apple charging puck (the big one), little orange light. Yay. But then I tried again. No light. Again. Again. No light. No light. Again. Light.

So I think you can charge it from an Apple charging puck, but you have to be very precise about alignment. The back of the battery is completely plain, no markings. So you have to find the right spot.

Also, now I’m worried I’ve broken it because you’re not supposed to do any of this 🤣

No option to change from delivery to collection I guess? Was thinking to take the day off on Friday maybe check out the gundam pop up in Camden. If not possible I’ll stay home working and do it another day

Okay firstly, I'm sure you haven't broken it 😆 If you have, I'll buy you a new one! 🤣

Secondly that is very interesting. Does it 'snap' magnetically to place regardless of if you hit the right spot then? It will be great if you can wirelessly charge the thing itself. I'm increasingly bored of cables!
 
I assume the polarity on the accessories are the same as each other as they’re designed to snap onto the back of the phone. So they won’t snap to each other?

Ordered Blue 512Gb 17 pro max, purple techwoven case and strap. Apple Watch S11 and APP3. Very excited 😜 I got a good price locked for my current iPhone from MusicMagpie for 14 days. Has anyone tried the Timpson drop off service for £10? I usually pay about that for Special delivery, but the Timpson route should be quicker?

I just called Apple and switched my order from the 17 Pro Max Silver 512GB to the 17 Pro Silver 512GB. I probably lost my 19th slot, but the Max would have been too big for me.
 
Still can't decide between blue and silver pro max.
Waiting to see them in store before I decide - in no rush to purchase.

Saying that, when are the display models usually in store - from the 19th I assume?

It happened to me 3 times when I ordered the 11pm, 14pm and 15pm, was cancelled and had to reorder..

That's odd. Here's the email you get when payment fails. They must single you out ;)

To avoid a delay in receiving your order, please update your payment information by signing in to your Order Status page. This will usually resolve the problem. If it doesn’t, contact your card provider and let them know you placed an order with Apple.
  • For a scheduled delivery: We'll attempt to process your payment until your scheduled delivery date. If we're unable to process your payment* by then, sign in to your Order Status page for the most current information.
  • For pickup or standard shipping: We'll attempt to process your payment for 7 days.
In either case, if we're unable to process your payment, your order will be cancelled.
Thank you for shopping with Apple.

I have never ever remembered getting an email such as that, just payment gets declined and BAAAM, order cancelled, then from what I remember, I get an email along the lines off ( We tried processing your payment and it was declined, your order has been cancelled, sorry for the inconvenient ) the end, I wish I kept the emails to show you.

No extra trade in % for Tech at Music Magpie at the moment is there?
Found this one online who are offering a code on their website https://sell.smartcellular.co.uk/

They are still offering what look like decent trade-ins for iPhone 15 PM 256Gb, however, zero experience with this company and their reviews are not great.

Did mine via Mazuma early last week before the trade-in values plummeted with an extra £10 Cashback going via Topcashback which I ended up being offered £615. Topcashback trade-in was well over £700 the previous week, however, I've had issues with them before offering me a much lower value after their so-called 'inspection' (they use webuyanyphone).

I've used Mazuma multiple times in the past without any issues what so ever.

For the first time in 5 years I’ve gone for the Pro and not the Pro Max. Looking forward to a normal size phone again! Bloody ball ache these Maxes are

Yes they will be on display from launch day.

I do wonder if especially the iPhone Air might be a bit of a slower burn - still looks like there’s a lot of stock available for launch day here, but I would think it’s one of those products lots of people buy only after seeing and holding it in store.

I'm going the opposite way. Had a 12 Pro, 14 Pro and then 15 Pro. Currently using an S25 Plus and have ordered a 17 Pro Max 256GB Silver. Got the case and screen protectors already and doesn't seem much bigger than my current phone.

Decided not to get a case for my Pro, going to go naked for the first time with AppleCare+.

Anyone else going naked with their new phones?
