My Spigen Thin Fit Black Cases arrived from Amazon today. I have preordered an iPhone 12 Pro Graphite 256Gb for delivery on the 23rd, I ordered the same cases to gauge the two different sizes as I have always had the normal size phone but though about going Max this year but I am still undecided as the 12 Pro is still a little bit bigger than the 11 Pro. Here are some images to give a comparison of an iPhone 6s, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro case and iPhone 12 Pro Max case. Hope it helps if you are still undecided like me.

And before anyone asks, the last two photos were not taken with Apple Glass !!!

Are you SIM only? If so, how long did it take you to get your SIM?
I just signed up for a SIM only unlimited data plan with EE the other day. Coverage map shows I should get 5G so we’ll see how that goes…

Yes I'm SIM only - I ordered Wednesday evening, the SIM was printed and sent on Thursday reaching me today. I should get some 5G.

Right, so when I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro, I did trade-in so they're going to send me the kit. However, i've just seen that Music Magpie offer £335 for my iPhone XS so will there be a problem if I dont send my phone to Apple? Also, for those who've used MM, how does it work when selling a phone?
 
I don't think anybody uses iTunes anymore, just make sure your phone is backed up.

when you turn on your new phone bring your old phone near it (before you have wiped it or anything) and you'll see it pop up on your new phone asking if you want to replace the old phone with the new one and transfer everything over, its very straight forward :)
Using iTunes is still the only option if you want to back up all passwords for all apps?

For the first half, you only get credit the payment when you send the phone back, so you don't have to return it.
 
Can anyone please remind me the process of transferring the esim from old phone to new phone?

step by step if possible. I with EE will move from 11pro max to 12 pro max
 
Does anyone know how long apple hold a reservation for a case? I want to order one now for Friday when I pick up the phone.

will they hold it that long or should I order later next week and take the risk they’ll have them in stock.

I think it's same day, but don't take my word as gospel

If you have paid for it, it will be held for at least a week, and you will receive an email reminder before the order is cancelled.

Are you paying for it online for in store pick up ? If so when you do that you can choose a day and a time slot for pickup. So as long as there is slot availability on that day you should just be able to do that.

So I got the MagSafe charger today from the Apple store. I tried it with my 11 Pro Max quickly and it does connect wirelessly to charge however it does not attach to the phone with or without a case. I presume then the iPhone 12‘s have a magnet on the inside on the back for this.
