Yep, basically, getting the new phone on Friday, the new watch on Monday/Tuesday... so I'll probably be fine for paring the existing apple watch plan to the new phone via migration, but I'll have to phone EE to sort out the e-sim for the series 5 ... :rolleyes:

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you on Monday, then!

If you do experience any disconnection - they do say it can take up to 24 hours for the behind the scenes stuff to re-align - make sure you press them to credit your account back. You should get a month or two's free Apple Watch line rental out of them!

Anyone got any case recommendations for the Pro Max? Still need to decide on a case. Thanks

What kind of case do you like? Leather (in the style of the Apple one), Silicone (with or without bumpers), Flip Wallet style?
Personally, I'm not a case kind of guy, I'll be using a film screen protector and film back cover until we're back from holiday then I'll probably go back to nakit. Unless the camera bump seriously peeves me off, in which case (pardon the pun) I'll get an Apple Leather one.
 
Just gotten off live chat with EE and they advised that they will not be shipping the iPhones out until it is released, not sure how true that is. But we might not get them for launch day?

Sounds like they don't know what they're talking about tbh. Firstly it's 'first come and first serve' then they'll 'do it for loyal customers'. Wouldn't worry too much
 
Lol I can't believe people actually put weight behind what bots on 'live chat' actually tell them.
Everyone knows, providing stock levels are where they need to be, if you pre-order, you're gonna get it on launch day. :rolleyes:

This was not a bot, I was ordering a SIM card. If I was talking to a bot then im worried for the future of humanity.

I no longer use GA for gmail but after installing it for that I use it for some other sites. Need to look into portable options like authy. I use LastPass for passwords but that needs authenticating once a month so use GA for that
Based on some posts here, I've just moved everything from Google Authenticator over to Authy (whilst still putting the new codes back into the google one) and I like it.

That'll suck for any EE customers who want theirs asap, you'd expect them to ship so that you have it on Friday.

I've had to intentionally delay mine, no I've not gone mad :D but I won't be at home until next week, so I'm going to miss launch day for the first time ever, I blame the wife.... because its her fault :p
 
The most important thing to remember when pre ordering from a network is not to listen to anything they say in live chat. Every person you connect to will say something different.

Exactly, I just completely don’t bother with them anymore. You could speak to one, and then jump straight back on to someone else and they’ll say different things, probably contradicting each other.
 
Do UK preorders for iPhones still ship from China ? I havn't preordered an iPhone from Apple in years, but i've seen a few people say they now ship out of Ireland ?
 
I have ordered from O2 every year apart from this year. From experience you won’t receive any email/text until Friday however if you go to my o2 and click your order number a tracking number will appear this will be any time between now and Thursday late. They ship with UkMail and DPD. I’ve moved to Apple this year for simplicity.
We've worked out that they process all of one model, colour and memory size before moving on to the next - so confirmations don't come out based on the time you ordered - so don't worry if you don't get an update when you might have expected to.
