Other UK iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

I ordered from Vodafone too..how do you get on to that page and track the delivery?

Check your emails, you should have received some kind of confirmation.

This was a new contract so maybe it’s a little different for upgrades. I also got a text on how I could track my order.

Just realised I have 2 lines one with physical sim and the other is esim. Do you have to ring carrier to transfer?

Depends on who you are with...

Yes completely agree, it's definitely the best showcase of the 15's videography skills I have seen on YT. Hoping more like this to come from the professional's to counteract some of the 'tech' YouTubers.

Apple, again, has stepped way beyond the Android competition with video.

Majority of users won't use the new video features to their full potential which is fine but I'm super happy! Excited about testing the shallow depth of field with the 5 x telephoto and new zooming capabilities on the cinematic footage. All in Apple log Pro Res!

Also decent to see him debunking claims of those other so-called tech YouTubers who don't actually understand how lens compression & focal lengths work in the 15. I'd love to see his full testing in this area.

But reckon I am most shocked just how impressive his Pro Res Log family movie is with the colour accuracy & movement. At the same time, whilst managing to create cool footage that is so cinematic, uplifting and positive.

The lens/focal length comparison was really interesting. By now having the dedicated focal lengths at the tap of a button (24/28/35) , it actually forces you to re-compose the shot using your feet as opposed to simply cropping in post, thus actually changing the fov/compression.

Also the natural depth of field looked fantastic on the 5x lens, especially in the video clips. I’m surprised other reviews are calling it average at best or almost dismissing it all together. I used to own a Canon 135mm L, so i’m thrilled to have something close to that fov in my pocket.

Austin Mann should hopefully have this review up soon, which i'll be looking forward too.

I have the original Ultra that I got at launch last year. I was seriously tempted to upgrade to the Ultra 2 but as you say the new features are minimal and not justifiable especially as the watches don’t really hold their value. I’ll see what they release next year and if there is an Ultra 3 I may upgrade them.

I don’t think they’ll bring out a new ultra for a couple of years at least. They literally just made the 2 because the new standard watch had features it didn’t.

So are all Grade A literally brand new from CEX? Or can they be very good condition used? Not sure if I’d fancy a used watch

Email from UR;

We apologise for any inconvenience but we are no longer accepting Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB devices and we are unable to process your order.

So MM it is then.

Damn that’s not good. I’m selling my 14 Pro 128gb and haven’t had an email cancelling the order yet but I wonder if it’s coming?

checked your account on their website?

Yup got same email for

They cancelled my 256GB Pro trade in. Not super chuffed since I let my MM one lapse! Anyone know who might give a decent valuation?

Vodafone…its work line

 

[LegendaryAced]

Vodafone…its work line

If you already have an eSIM, I believe Vodafone allows you to re-scan the orginal QR code up to 5 times (or maybe it is 3 times).

In any case, you can re-issue an eSIM from My Vodafone on their website.

The above work for Consumer. I am not sure how they handle Business lines.

 

[Ozanne]

checked your account on their website?

Yeah it’s still open on the site.
I have an MM order which lasts a few days longer but is £21 less which is my backup.

Delivery dates for remaining stock of new iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models on Amazon have now shifted to 27 - 28 September.
My Amazon orders still show delivery for this Saturday. It would be nice if they surprise me and send for delivery on Friday. Although those models are not mine, it's fun 😆

 

[limesmoothie]

I mean it never said 22nd. But that's what the dude on the phone told me (business contract). He said it will/should arrive by Friday. But here we are lol, maybe I'll give them a call. I'm going to assume it's just their systems...

I've ordered from Voda.

Original email said 9th October, checked today on tracking and it said '3-4 weeks'. 😬

 

[sneeks]

Apple not yet charged me for my Saturday 23rd store collection. A pending payment had shown on my bank account but has now timed out and vanished. Guessing they’ll only charge my card once the phone is in store and available for collection.

According to him he got worse battery life when using it casually and using the camera (compared to the 14 PM) also throttled more when running benchmarks.

are we all at phase 4 of iPhone order syndrome?

you know, the time after reviews come out and its a few days before tracking day.. its a dangerous time.. we've had our fill of screen protectors and cases and the desire for more apple goodies is REAL..

last year we all flogged our AirPods pros to CEX and bought the APP2! I added a watch then too...

people.. you MUST RESIST!

Oops

Apple have taken my money for Friday 22nd collection in store, there’s no logic to how this all happens as I remember last year getting my 14 Pro delivered and the status still saying processing!

 

[limesmoothie]

Lord have mercy. Did you get the Max?

Yep, natural titanium 256.

I'm sure it will settle down when they get the first lot of stock in.

What do you mean by "taken"?
Is it just an authorisation / pending transaction or a final transaction (meaning they have gotten your money)?

Grade A means they bought it off someone as Grade B 😆

I've had a couple of Grade A Alpine loop straps off Cex, one was literally brand new and the other had a weird smell and had faded slightly, so it's a bit of a gamble

 

[BillGates1969]

the re-sale value (lack of!) puts me off selling... that's a big old drop in 1 year.. hurts even more with the Hermes!

Why sell. I have both. Hermes some days, Ultra others.

Love my Hermes, love my Ultra. Simple. Remember, there are seven days to wear a watch lol.

[Apples n' Stone]

is it time for ‘it’s happening’ yet? Within the last couple of hours Apple have taken full payment for my delivery order for launch day.
