I used the following option from MyEE.
The eSIM on my current device is still active and has not transferred
I’m looking forward to the clear case. I actually like the magsafe white ring on it.View attachment 1657935
Think I’m about ready, just waiting on my eSIM from EE.
Watching a few videos about the 12PM I was actually a little bit concerned about the size difference.
Tried my XS Max in the 12PM case just and there is VERY little difference.
I think it always looks bigger watching a video about the ‘Plus’ sized phones as opposed to using them, and I’m sure if I watched a video about the XS Max now, I’d be thinking, “that phone is too big!”. Whereas in reality, it’s perfect for me.
If you are coming from the XS Max or 11PM and are concerned about the size, believe me, don’t be!
Panic over, bring on Friday
I guess the problem is whether people abusing the system will mean it's taken away from people who are actually students. Must say I'm surprised EE don't check.
Picked mine up from GAME first thing this morning, will have to play the waiting game next Thursday for the PS5 as that's coming from Amazon and may not turn up until 9pm
Unidays and Student Beans both require a valid .ac.uk email address, I don’t know why EE don’t also have some verification checks in place. You can get the same 20% discount if your employer is an EE partner though, so it’s not like it’s some amazing deal that only students can get

how busy were the stores I have a PS5 for store collection
Same here just checked my tracking on Apple which redirected to Royal Mail which says today.
Went at 8am this morning and was sorted within a couple of minutes, this was GAME in Liverpool One as well. Might be a little busier next week though.
If mine turns up at all, I'll be happy.Picked mine up from GAME first thing this morning, will have to play the waiting game next Thursday for the PS5 as that's coming from Amazon and may not turn up until 9pm
Not sure what my amazon guy is doing...first it says due between 10:30 am and 14:30 pm - happy days then moved to 4pm-8pm...can literally drive 10 mins down the road he's right there! Also seen postman pat wondering around and he ain't dropped off my apple cases! Really frustrated right now!
mine is only a local one, on a retail park so hopefully not busy like in Manchester city centre
Where did you get the Chinese knockoff ?
Bought a Apple Deep Navy which came yesterday but don't know if I want to spend another 50£ for the black one.I just requested a replacement esim (last week) on the EE website, yeah I will be charged £1.50 but I got my esim through the post. So I am ready to activate it and load it when the phone arrives on Friday.
I am still using my physical sim now (has not been deactivated).
If you don’t need two sims on the same phone, I would say just stick with the physical sim.
Where did you get the Chinese knockoff ?
The amount we spent on genuine product is wasteful sometimes. Chinese knock off quality are getting better and hard to find a gap except the reduced pricing of ten fold.
But still, I try to cheat my conscious as this is genuine and this is good for global business. And always ended up with hole in pocket

Sounds like it makes sense since even apple can't deliver before December but I can live in hope that EE is one of the few places most people wouldn't look, don't know why I even got it I know I'll lose it in less than a day lol

Is that a genuine California Poppy case? It looks a different colour from the one on the Apple site.
This eSIM business sounds exciting! So I've seen in my vodafone account I can swap my sim to an eSIM. So should I request this on the day I get my new iPhone? Then basically I set up the phone with wifi (no sim installed) and the add the data plan and it will work for calls and texts too?
Can anybody remember back a few years ago when you could track your iPhone all the way from china using the order number? Can you still do that? I'm assuming all our handsets come from china straight to us (via syncreon hub) and that's the reason there's a week between the day we pre-order and delivery?
