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

[johnyslats]

Ready in Leeds 🙌🏻

 

[Qountdown]

My DHL notification has come through and I will be getting my iPhone tomorrow!

 

[Sal09]

DPD

Hub 4 - Hinkcley

Both iPhones departed at 3:47 PM

Now enroute to local depot most likely they are already there.

 

[pjazzy]

Both my orders dispatched via DHL and showing as picked up, woohoo

I'm still waiting for my "ready to pick up" for my apple.com/uk order. I guess the Brighton store is busy today 😆
The Amazon orders are still saying "arriving Saturday", but Amazon usually dispatches around midnight and they might not even do that today. We shall see...

 

[JoHugh]

Sorry if this has already come up but before I subject myself to the annual terror of depositing a circa £1k asset into an anonymous MM kiosk in Asda any experiences this year? TIA

 

[MrGimper]

I phoned EE to ask about getting an eSIM (I have a physical one) the bloke on the phone said that the eSIM was for a 2nd number and what number did I want. I wanted my existing number on there, instead of on the physical SIM and he said that couldn't be done. So I have stuck with my physical one.

This is what I mean .... they are completely clueless and we've had eSIM for YEARS!!

Take two micro fibre cloth with you. One to clean the inside glass of the machine and use other to clean you device before inserting into the machine.

And Dont Effing Drop It.

Mine still processing as well, don't worry.

For "fine woven" people - In the end I opted for silicone case - worried about wear on the fine woven.

This is a picture of the "take a look at me" fine woven wallet at regent street store.

They didn't seem to "rub away" when I tried briefly. Maybe a suede brush could do it, I was in a hurry.

 

[MrGimper]

I switched to eSim using the myEE app, took only a few minutes to transfer my number

Under Profile - Settings and Permissions - Replace my sim/eSim

I only have "Activate my SIM/eSIM"

My phone still on processing September 27th to 2nd October.

I’m not sure what to think so far, but mine hasn’t had that type of damage and neither did my leather one.

I’m sure if people started scratching the leather it would leave marks as well. Will be interesting to see how the FineWoven holds up against moisture.

How many of us who didn’t get a launch day delivery are going to be on the Apple Store website at 6am tomorrow? 🙋‍♂️

To be fair, we're talking the store demo one. For all I know someone took their keys to it to test (edit: Or more likely those look like nail marks).
I just mean in the end I opted for silicone myself (which I've been consistent with for the last couple of years).

Was that when you had only a physical SIM too?

EDIT: Ignore me ... I also have an iPad SIM and Watch on the same account and the Permissions and Settings is based on the line you currently have selected. When I picked my iPhone number and went to Settings and Privacy, the Replace my SIM/eSIM option was shown.

I’m having a wobble. Did I get the right colour and storage? (Blue 256). Should I have got natural 512? What’s wrong with my purple 14pm? I’m already upgrading my watch from S6 to S9. Is it guilt? Buyers remorse? I was so sure about my order last year. I KNEW I wanted purple 256. I love purple and like blues too. The natural looks grey to me, but most people are getting it! It’s going to be in a case most of the time anyway!

Pull yourself together Amanda!

it was a while ago, but i think it was. remember it's EE, never works the way it should

I don't miss the days of waking up at 6am.

Tempted to ditch my Apple trade-in for my 12 Pro. Offered £300 (although I have a small chip in the bottom right corner of the frame, and corresponding chip under the screen in the same corner).

MM offering £335 for excellent or £285 for good, which allows for small chips. Seems they might be the best bet, can risk an ‘excellent’ grade and know what the knock down price will be.

UR offering £341 but the next level down is £120 😐

Damage being very subjective aside, any ball parks on how likely any of these trade-ins are to knock down prices? Not sure where to hedge my bets 🤔

£285 sounds like top dollars for a 12 Pro with cosmetic damage. Take the lower value on the chin. If you didn't, put a decent case and screen protector on the phone.
