Other UK iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max (2020) Orders and Dispatch Thread

[zetti]

At least it’s only a few days it’s still 17 days until we can pre order the Pro Max 😢

Right! I’m bummed and excited. I get to see my boyfriend enjoy his iPhone 12 and be envious till I get my shiny

Let’s just hope we are quick enough for release day delivery otherwise it will be an even longer wait 😬

in all honesty, maybe its good they split the pre-orders up, wouldn't this mean it gives Apple a lot more time for Pro Max manufacturing as the load will definitely be high

My amazon order is still showing as valid and too be honest if they cancel and offer me £20 I would be happy with a free case and screen protector.

What do you get for £33 a month if you don’t mind me asking and how much upfront?

No problem, don't mind at all. Just the phone, I'll pay it off sooner - I recently renegotiated my Vodafone sim only deal.

£21.25 40gb data unlimited everything else on their max speed too.

Buys me the Anker 30w charger I’d be alright with that.

Just wish I'd been a bit smarter and got the 512GB as they were ALL £849 weren't they?

All pro models were priced at £849. I never saw the 512gb ones as they were already pulled from the site but 256gb defo were. Hopefully the 128gb is classed as a reasonable loss.

Upgrading from a launch day iPhone 7 so I’m very excited but at the same time also hoping I don’t regret not waiting for the Pro Max...just felt it’d probably be too big for my daily use.

You are really in for a treat, that’s a hell of an upgrade! Massive difference.

Fingers crossed!

I saw the 512Gb models for £849 and decided no way would they honour that.

My 20W adapter is coming with Royal Mail today and my MagSafe charger with Royal Mail tomorrow, seems very environmentally friendly Apple 😂

Exactly! I’m afraid that whilst I do love Apple products I have no doubt about the company’s hypocrisy when they claim to have got rid of the included charging adapter and earphones for environmental reasons. Where is the corresponding reduction in price for the consumer?

 

[markhort]

I'm planning on a 128 Pro Max blue. Maybe a 256 blue if the 128 isn't available.

I think I've made my mind up, going for 256gb Pro Max in Graphite. Matches my S6 watch. I'm all about continuity. Even though I really like the Navy.

 

[mattsalt123]

Fair play to Royal Mail! Apple case despatched at 5pm on a Sunday, being delivered this morning! That’s unheard of IMO

That might be their terms and conditions however the law says different.

This is actually a case study for undergrads, Online price changes after the purchase has gone through was once the hot topic. Unfortunately they are within their rights as the listing price is not legally binding. It’s an invitation to treat and the offer is never unilateral, or has it been accepted until they issue the dispatch confirmation email.

There is a valid counter argument that the order confirmation would communicate acceptance, but as your charge will be pending there is no consideration. There is also a term (escapes me) that essentially rules the order confirmation as “if accepted your order will be this, cost this, and arrive by then”. However Amazon have been known to honour prices as goodwill, another poster suggested they offer a gift card for instance. It comes down to contract rather than the consumer debate.


Qualified lawyers can use bigger words, but this practise is at worst dishonest rather than illegal. Sorry

What does the law say? And does it definitely apply where a contract has not been formed?

Yeah you’ve hit the nail on the head, consumer protection and what not can’t apply without a valid contract. I dig a bit more into it above!

 

[CD3660]

...Qualified lawyers can use bigger words, but this practise is at worst dishonest rather than illegal. Sorry

This is correct. Amazon are under no legal obligation to honour the mistakenly low price. It’s just a question of whether as a matter of goodwill they do.

 

[SayCheese]

yes, you can change the benefit once a month.

You can change every month through the app or online however when I originally took out a smart SIM, they said that if you call customer services and ask nicely, they'll switch you to something else any time - for example if there was a single football match on BT Sport you fancied.

Thanks both.
I only ask as I'd want the roaming for when I go on holiday but when I'm not I'd want Apple Music for example.

That looks pretty damn nice for a silicone case!
Only ordered my Pro yesterday and the official cases were weeks out for postage, so I ordered a cheap ringke from Amazon until the leather cases arrive.

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Anyone have experience with Rebuy? DPD collect the phone and seal the package in Rebuy packaging, im just worried something might happen with DPD... phone gets swapped out or stolen etc

Lol I’ll be joining you there. I’m using them and they can’t seem to get my collection address or date right atm 😅. Hoping for a Saturday pick up as they promised but we’ll see...
[automerge]1603093535[/automerge]

I used to them to sell a phone recently. Some confusion over the pickup date (they said next day then changed to Monday, but DPD turned up on Sat - my fault for doing the order after hours on a Thur I guess). No issues though, phone arrived and money credited straight away.

Oddly enough though, if I marked my phone as very good, it was valued higher than like new.

That’s great news! I put like new for mine as I locked in a great price so I hope for the same

In the last couple years have we received our serial numbers for the devices before shipping and checked to see when it was produced? Is so when do we get it? I remember doing it for the iP5, iP6, iP6+ & iP8+

 

[ct2k7]

Anyone else’s cases still PFS?

I wasn't going to bother but noticed my local store had them to collect so I went and got one.

Had to reserve and pick a time slot.

@UltraInstinct thanks for the photos.

The case looks excellent. Good to see that Apple have altered the design to keep the bottom of the phone protected.

From what I remember with the original Apple Watch, it was the support profile at some point after they were preparing for shipment? For some reason I don’t think this worked for me with the AW4.

I would hazard a guess it is to do with if they are in China or not, and would imagine these are not so will be later!
