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

[Mercury1]

Hit a nerve have I pal? Any issues take them up with EE. If you are with EE then I would suggest (for your own sanity) you get a PAC and get outa there, if you are with anyone else then I am sure EE will miss not having your custom, especially when 50p means so much to you

Lol, are you for real?
Someone voices a different opinion and you think you've hit a nerve.

I can't believe anyone is willing to defend let alone throw away 50p, well, because it's only 50p.
You'll make it as a millionaire in no time with that amazing attitude.

The more EE becomes BT the worse they seem to get, if you can’t see the principle here then never mind.

Businesses would never adapt or become competitive if all consumers bent over when asked.

So yes, losing customers through these dodgy tactics very much hurts a company, but BT have always failed to realise that look at broadband.

Dont get me wrong I have had problems with EE, but when it comes to network coverage they are second to none.

Yes for you maybe, not for everyone.

Unsurprisingly, I will cave in and get a 12 Pro Graphite... If the Blue was darker, might have considered it.
Told myself lack of 120hz would be a no go, and not happy with the camera disparity to the Pro Max, but overall camera improvements, flat edge design and extra screen size have made me take the plunge.

Question regarding monthly payments (not iup) and AppleCare+: if I decide to pay the loan off early to sell the phone, will I also get a refund on unused/remaining AppleCare+, as I believe would happen if I did the same thing with iup?

Yep, I just did this today.

Got my settlement figure from Barclays
Paid off my loan today.
Called Apple on 0800 048 0408
They cancelled AppleCare+ and confirmed that they'll inform Barclays, my loan will now be in credit and I'll receive a cheque or refund to my bank account.

Here’s the latest plug, and it will give you fast charging (20w).

Buy 20W USB-C Power Adapter

The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging for the new iPad Pro models. Use it at home, in the office or on the go.

Thanks it’s looks like my Apple Watch one lol I couldn’t be sure which one to buy but I’m glad I asked I will go order it from Apple as you can’t be sure if your buying genuine from elsewhere these days lmao 😂

btw thanks for that! X

...just upgraded my EE sim plan to now include 5G.

Where did you do it? Can't find it for love nor money on my EE!

 

[CamiMR]

This is the same as me but I prefer the blue and likewise annoyed that the Pro Max has better camera's still and no 120hz but if I got the 6.1 Max I know I would be thinking.... should of got the pro... should of got the pro.

I’m pretty certain I’ll be able to adjust to the small increase from my 11 Pro (5.8) to the 12 Pro (6.1). Never had a Max/Plus (6.5 and now 6.7, right?) before, but know it would be too big for me.
As for the colour, really gutted, the dark blue that leaked consistently on the lead up to the announcement looked great to me, but the official colour seems more of a teal than blue to me, so Graphite (Space Grey ) it is!!

don’t think there is an option to add 5G to an existing plan, if you are SIM Only, you should be able to upgrade to a SIM Only plan that has 5G.... if you are eligible, guess there may be an early upgrade fee if you are still in contract.

I updated to a 5G ready plan this way last week

plans above £20 look like they include 5G

but the plans seem to change a lot

Anyone know if retailers other than Apple will be starting pre-orders at 1pm on 16th?
Whilst I'd rather order directly from Apple, I get corporate discount from the likes of Curries, Argos etc.

Tried before but wouldn’t accept student discount online

How much more was that?

Yup. You’ve paid for it outright so if you cancel you’ll get a pro rated refund

And there you go.. that’s how easy it is to make £100+ over just giving the phone back to Apple

 

[majeric]

Pre-approved mine this morning
12 pro 512gb in pacific blue....roll on Friday.

Usually yes mate, those retailers accept pre-orders same date/time as Apple

 

[mypyh4ooo]

Surely you get more out of a private sale compared to Apple?

I’d check if I was you. even cpwh employees don’t get discount!

 

[drunkmouth]

Yeah, that's what he's saying. In total I'll make around £300 extra from selling privately and the AppleCare+ refund vs just handing back the device. The rest of the cash from the phone pays off my settlement.

 

[Jinjin]

Exactly my point

 

[drunkmouth]

Thanks for replying!

I can't see why it would be any different on the monthly payments really. Same process.

 

[zetti]

This is why I prefer 3. EE prices are just like nope. I'm good thanks. I would not touch EE especially now they're with BT.

 

[limesmoothie]

I’m going to go with buying the phone outright this year, plus I’ve already locked in a price with a phone recycler.

12Pro Pacific Blue, hopefully!

 

[BillGates1969]

I dislike you guys lol. Was going to give it a miss then did a Barclays pre order for 128GB Gold Pro.

Guess it would be rude not to now

 

[zetti]

I have no idea if this has already been asked but I'll ask again, has anyone decided what colour case they want if they're getting Apple cases? I've already decided on a magsafe charger, I'll get a duo one when that is released too.

So i am going for the product red 12 and will probably get the plum silicone case alongside the yellow leather wallet!
