Leather case arrived, better late than never.
RM obviously overloaded, usually they deliver before 12pm every day, today it was 3:45.

As others have said, the new leather cases are really nice, the leather grain is very fine and i'm such a fan of the squarer edges.
eSIM arrived too so I'm ready for Friday.

Pro Max case came today. Coming from 3yr old X

It’s going to be a beast.

Just ordered a California Poppy wallet from jigsaw24.com
Never heard of them, but website says it’s in stock. Hope it’s not a scam 🙈
 
Nope not a scam - I bought my Macbook Pro from them 2 years ago :)
That’s a relief 😅 I just noticed that “available to order” doesn’t mean the item is in stock though 🙈 I’ll see what the ETA is, I expect 8 weeks or something like that

Hopefully it won't be that long!
 
Can I ask those who have an ESR tempered glass on their iPhone 12 if it is truly 'edge to edge'?

I'm really debating whether I should swap out my Belkin tempered glass for an ESR one if its edge to edge?!

This is my Belkin (apologies for the naff picture quality - its taken on a first gen iPad Air 2!!) :

Does the ESR actually go to the edge of the phone...?!

Yeah, the ESR are edge to edge. I wouldn’t recommend them though. Couldn’t get one to go on perfectly. There were always imperfections on the edges and lumps in the glass, I gave up after the 4th. It’s strange as the ESR screen protectors on both my iPad Pros have been perfect and went on flawlessly.

Gone back to spigen and the quality is loads better, they are just a bit smaller with a cutout for the notch and about 2mm around the screen.

...thanks for those pics - appreciated.

It really looks like the ESR is literally just a few millimetres extra vs my current Belkin.

But, judging by your pics, there seems to be way more lint caught around the edge of your protector vs my Belkin?! Is the edge of your protector smooth or does it have a rough edge at all, hence the lint?!
The edges feel smooth to me, but the sides of the Apple silicone case sit proud of the face of the phone so it is a bit recessed. The lint is probably a function of my not doing more than a quick swipe on my sleeve before taking those photos after having had the phone lying face down on the fuzzy blanket in the photo. The silicone case has a nice feel but is a bit of a dust/lint magnet...

That is strange - my sister got one for her phone and went on perfectly first time.

I am interested for edge to edge screen protector. What’s stopping me is a bit of hurdle to clean the lint/dust in top speaker.
Has anyone tried with compressed air duster to clean it out? Used to try with IPA/cotton bud cleaning but the recess is too small for cottonsbud.
 
Same here.

Straight out the box, apple protector off the phone, ESR protector on. Perfect fit, no dust and no bubbles. You can't even tell I have a screen protector on

Yeah, it was very strange. Maybe it’s a bad batch, I’ve seen a few people mention the same. Went straight on out the box too. On one of them the corner wouldn’t even stick and kept lifting.

Might try them again as I do like the fact they are full screen.
 
I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere as to whether the 12 pro max & mini comes with iOS 14.1 or 14.2. Could be 14.2, as they would have had time to get them loaded with it (based on kernel date it could be done, as similar timescales to other releases vs product shipping).

Seems 14.1 as some people have checked when the phone was assembled which was beginning to mid october when 14.1 was out.
 
Guys,
Please help. Apple cancelled my order this morning for no reason. I used the apple store app with apple pay. I called them, all they say is "something with the bank" I called barclays, they said no issue on their end. What a nightmare.
That really sucks, sorry.
I think your best bet is to order from John Lewis on Friday morning as soon as orders go live, I think 8am (someone correct me if I’m wrong). You won’t get it day of release but you will get it next day which is probably the earliest you’ll get right now.
 
Anyone who ordered from Curry’s had an update on their order? Mine still says ‘Order received’

Never done a pre order from Currys before but with the discount through work I thought I may as well. Can’t wait to get my hands on the pro max!
Same here. "Order received".

I'm assuming it's not going to change until dispatch on Thursday... But I keep checking regardless 😆
