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

I had this problem. From what I can read you're supposed to un-pair from your old phone first.
Otherwise you have to erase from the watch, then set-up as a new watch (although it kept the settings).

Mine was fine. Just held the new phone near my watch and it prompted me to pair it.

Interesting. I ordered mine with Sky within a few minutes of pre-order opening and it came today no problem.

Same here - arrived at 8.00am.

Costco order status finally changed to Shipped just now…unfortunately they seem to use Parcelforce 🙈

 

[MrMister111]

I always do that. Makes most sense.

Unless you drop it/smash it on day 0-59….

Just don't do that then? If you're worried then buy AppleCare+ before you take it out the box.

Busy day at work so only just managed to put my screen protector on (the phone was delivered at 7:30am)!!

Putting on the screen protector took about 20 seconds and was very easy not a single air bubble or fluff caught but not sure if it's worth £16.99 but at least it was a two pack.

Esr or Spigen?

Do you have a link or name of that screen protector? Thanks

Now can’t connect to Apple Watch. Any ideas?

I just fitted an ESR armorite to my 15PM. the frame to align it seemed slightly too small this year, first one I ruined due to the frame getting in the way. got the second one installed ok but not as good an experience as last year.

I do, with the 0%. The question was asked if wait, and of course you can, but an accident isn’t planned.

Alright jokes aside, here's my actual unboxing:

Spigen but it's decent and covers the screen well. Here is the link.

PSA for everyone who leaves their phones on silent and is about to get an iPhone 15 Pro: You can turn off the annoying permanent silent indicator in settings. You’re welcome

Sorry if this has been asked before.....what is the best usb-c cable to get?

I know the apple one included isn't that great.

Thanks

Mine was fine. Just held the new phone near my watch and it prompted me to pair it.

Interesting.
When I tried that, it just kept saying 'Unable to connect to Apple Watch'. Rebooting both devices didn't help, so I had to erase.

I don't get how that is annoying?

This is what I’ve done in the past, but I do remember one year they didn’t match up… it’s so annoying.

It isn't? Why?

It's a USB-C cable. They are all pretty much the same.

Say for example you smashed the back, you could still take out coverage in the timeframe or does the phone have some wizardy it uses to detect anything like that?

 

[robbiemc]

We've just been talking about that.
Mine kept saying 'Unable to connect to Apple Watch', so I had to erase on the Apple Watch and setup as new Watch (it keeps your old settings thankfully).

 

[krspkbl]

It's not annoying but it'd bother me having it on screen all the time. If people don't like it then it's good to know you can hide it.

Probably detects a fall that can potentially damge the phone and flags it when trying to purchase AppleCare? It might say you need to take it to a store for inspection before you can buy it.

 

[robbiemc]

It's a USB-C cable. They are all pretty much the same.

They're definitely not!
The enclosed cable is a charging cable, with limited data capabilities. If you want fast data transfer speeds, you'll need a more expensive cable that's much thicker.

Yup thats what I installed.
