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

will update the new phone to 14.2 then re-run restore from icloud backup that’s what i did last year.

Do you have to set up the phone then update to 14.2? Assuming it’s not already on it. Or is there a prompt before restoring from iCloud during initial setup?

I hope everyone has a magical day tomorrow if you’re getting a new phone. This is going to be my last year joining the new phone train... unless I manage to save up enough cash for next year 😅 I do love my 12 pro though so let’s see 😇

Anyone know when John Lewis will be available to order the iPhone 12 Pro Max ? I got a friend that wants one asap.

Do you upgrade every year then?

14.2 wont be on it mate, heard its 14.1. if you have already updated your old phone to 14.2 then new one will have to be just setup quickly as new phone and then down load the 14.2, then you can restore new phone from icloud backup of your old one.
if your old one still on 14.1 the. its just a straight restore from icloud backup.

Wow this thread has accelerated since this morning

I see the Aussie thread have started getting their phones!

Enjoy tomorrow all, will try and keep an eye on what’s going on here but will see you in 11 months if not!

Let’s hope Apple services are back working tomorrow after the massive fail with Big Sur Release tonight, loads services crashed so lets hope we can activate phones 🤦🏻‍♂️

So glad I'm working from home now so no waiting til 6pm to get my phone lol

 

[SayCheese]

I’m just going to sign into iCloud and then do the apps manually.

Perfect time for a good clear-out

This is my plan too. Only query is the Apple watch. Do I unpair then repair on the new phone?

 

[Jinjin]

Enjoy your iPad mini minis 😜

Incorrect. Your phone will prompt the 14.2 update during setup

You can put both phones side by side and it copies one phone to the other. Then it asks if you want to use your watch with the new phone. It’s a great way of setting it up. No messing around.

Me too, hang in there!

So this year’s UK thread will be the biggest one in the six years I’ve been involved! 9 pages short off the iPhone X release in 2017 and it’s not even launch day (part 2) yet!

i guess being in lockdown most the year as built up a feverish appetite!

Part of the restore process will update the phone, no need to setup as new and update

I wish I was a more glass half full type of guy!

Wow that is amazing!

The X was the last launch I got properly excited about, because of the beautiful redesign. Now 5G has persuaded me to take the leap from the X, and I’m feeling the exact same excitement now! 😃

I’m sure we will all get an update tomorrow morning

What a relief, thought that was the case as I posted a few days ago, glad to have someone who backs that up, if you’ll pardon the pun 🤣

That’s exactly what I’m planning. "Best laid plans though "....

Thanks but I want to start fresh and clear out unused apps etc. So I'm trying to avoid the transfer or restore from backup methods
