I can’t bear the thought of using a case on my phone. I might buy a transparent or translucent thin case but probably won’t end up getting round to it.

Hope we get some decent hands-on videos soon.

An hour to go!

Completely random question with cases but is there a case that is similar to the Samsung S-View case, where when shut the number ringing you appears digitally on the front of the case ?.
 
First time that I'll be going caseless with the 12. Ya only live once 😬

The only time I went caseless was with my iPhone 5.

I would love to go without a case if it wasn’t for the fact that iPhones are normally so damn slippery!
The trouble with not having a case is one single drop onto a hard surface (especially pavement or concrete outside) results in irreparable damage to the phone. Not sure I could live with seeing that on my brand new phone!

Next week is going to be a good week.
Pre-orders confirmed
Possibly tracking them from China?
Reviews will be posted to YouTube
Friday aka Xmas

They’ll be in the UK and We’ll only be tracking from Hinckley!

Those who reserve for in store pickup there is even less track as the reservation on the app won’t change till the morning of launch
 
How are peeps getting through to live chat
selecting Customer Services and upgrades I just get the following message

Sorry, we aren’t able to assist with your query on chat.
If you are looking to Upgrade, please text "Up" to 150


I can't even get onto live chat, I gave the SMS service by texting UP to 150 a try and have also called... they will not budge at all on £20 a month for 100gb. Any tips from the people that have got it for £16 would be appreciated!
 
Just ordered one of these:


I am also tempted by one of these:

I am far to clumsy and dropped by XS Max a number of times for the case to save the device from any harm

I remember picking up a brand new 8 Plus right before I went on holiday. I then remember the sickening thud as it hit the deck outside Edinburgh Airport, cracking the bottom of the screen 😭

Just bought a couple of cases off Amazon in anticipation 😂

Thanks for that excellent information. I'll definitely give EE a buzz. Will wait until Black Friday to see if they'll do any 5G special deals.

I am currently south-east so will use 5G in London mainly but, from Q2 next year (pandemic pending), up in wee bonny Scotland in Edinburgh which will also support 5G. I'm on Euro & US roaming too with Vodafone.

My current nearest city is Oxford which is among 12 new town and city locations to have the EE 5G networks switched on for the first time this month. I'm predicting a swathe of UK 5G network roll-outs once this year's iPhones are in everyone's hands!
I live in Oxford and on ee and didn’t know when 5g was coming to Oxford good to know and good to see someone else on here with a connection to Oxford.
 
45 minutes... I didn't update my info prior to today so I'm all locked out. Added it as a favorite, so hoping that saves me some valuable time. Likelihood of the 6.1" 128GB non-pro selling out quickly? Picked up my Apple Watch SE today at the Apple Store.. don't even have a phone to activate it yet 😂🤣
