That’s not strictly true. Yes initially the Apple Care starts from the day you preordered or ordered but it’s always adjusted to the day you set up and start using your device.

I preordered my phone on the 15th and it was delivered on the 22nd so initially my Apple Care started on the 22nd but I didn’t set up my iPhone until yesterday which was the 25th. I have the monthly theft and loss plan so mine now renews on October 26th.
Interesting...when I pre-purchased AC on my MBA earlier this year, I asked Apple about the start date for AC as it was activated from the day it ships – they told me it would expire/renew on that date, not when I actually receive/activate the device. Checking the renewal date in System Settings, it’s the same as the Proof of Coverage email I received – I received the MBA about a week after that...so it hasn’t been adjusted.

Maybe it works differently with monthly or phones?

Out of interest can anyone tell me what kind of values the 14 Pro Max 512GB was getting from the recycling companies before the Apple keynote. 🤔

Can anyone recommend a screen protector for the iPhone 15? Have tried the spigen ez and they’re awful, massive gap around the edge even with a case on. Have a pack of esr’s coming from Amazon today but after reading reviews they don’t seem to be much better. So will probably returning them And the Torras that seem to be getting good reviews are only available for the 15 pro on Amazon. Thanks

The Torras GlassGo is available for both the Pro and Pro Max on Amazon. I just checked. I have the ESR Armorite on my Pro Max but I had the Torras GlassGo delivered yesterday. After all the comments about the ESR and experiencing it on my phone it looks like unlike previous years it’s not ideal this year on the 15. I’m probably going to replace it with the Torras.

So, Mobile Phones Direct do have the phones in stock, but they're out of stock of the free prepaid SIM card they include with all phones... which means on their system the order won't ship. I've just called and they're going to remove the SIM card from the order which will release the phone for delivery tomorrow.

Just in case anybody else is wondering why their order hasn't been dispatched yet!
Yeah had the same issue- sim card removed from order and it should be shipped today. I would say anyone wanting to order its best to call them and specifically ask to remove the free sim card from the order otherwise it will delay shipping.

So managed to snag a White iphone 15 pro at apple Stratford this morning. I have had the 14 pro max for a year now, and it's just too big in my hands! Loving how light this phone is! I've got the fine woven case on it at the minute and an ESR screen protector. Phone is off to mm hopefully for £680, so we'll see. :)

Order expected 27th to the 2nd arrived this morning.

Mostly seamless recovery but not as slick as in the past, even managed to have a brain fart transferring the Apple Watch from one to another. Now sorted.

Hi, I reserved on the Apple Upgrade Program, and then just bought outright. Also, I was able to transfer my EE eSIM across from the old phone, with no problems! :)
Oh i see - makes sense. I've been looking all day and haven't noticed any stock all over london. but not looking at the IUP. i'm surprised actually - i knew there would be issues with the pro max but given that the demand (supposedly) isn't as high on normal pro's i thought there would be more supply!

Glad you got it though!

Same for me. Went to PFS Friday afternoon/early evening and here I am Monday afternoon and it's still PFS. Hopefully it will change later this afternoon.
Same here very frustrating seeing people with later dates getting shipping notifications!

Why is this any better than just using the volume up button?
It takes you directly to the camera, in a sporting scenario you can lose the image in seconds. It shortens the time to capture significantly!

Edit: I would also add that on the 6.1’ pro it sits exactly where my thumb does naturally. So is intuitive.

Are there still an Pro Max's available ANYWHERE or do Apple stores still have any stock from 6am?

I'm thinking about giving my Pro back for a Pro Max.

I haven't been looking for a Max, I've been looking for a pro though and I haven't seen any Max (or pro available) at all all day. I first looked at 620am this morning. I've clearly done a lot of work today...

Did not join the pre-order this year as I mulled over the colour, size and storage options - ended up snagging a pickup order for the Natural Titanium Pro Max on release day, did a trade-in today in store for my 14 Pro, and refunded to my payment method. Much smoother than I anticipated, and seems to save the hassle of various 3rd party resellers.
