Music Magpie paid out in full today! 🥳
In case anyone is worried about theirs, mine took pretty much 48 hours from them receiving my phone. No updates at all (stuck at ‘Awaiting your order’) until this morning, when it was completed and paid.

Not the best communication/service but they paid up in full so I’m happy overall.

by receiving the phone do you mean Royal Mail marked as delivered? had that confirmation but then they say this doesn't actually mean 'delivered' to them

Mine was delivered at around 3pm yesterday, had nothing since and its almost 2pm (their cut off) so im hoping for something by tomorrow
 
My ESR screen protector has a stupid black boarder around them, so annoyed.

Anyone used them this year and does it actually go to the edge or does it make the bezels fatter? utter garbage on amazon this year.
I’ve just received my phone and installed an ESR screen protector. First time using any screen protector and it definitely feels like the screen is impacted. Letters at the edge of the keyboard are slightly cut off.

So I’d not recommend the ESR screen protector. Any suggestions as to which brands don’t impact screen real estate?
 
Just received and ESR screen protector installed.

Very happy with the phone, feels great in the hand (coming from 12 mini!). Less happy with the screen protector.

Could you show a picture of the keyboard being up, so I can see what you mean about letters being cut off? Looking at that, it looks an immaculate install to be honest at first glance!

Also, did you put lens protectors on?
I saw they come in the package I ordered, but I saw some comparison shots showing the camera quality is affected.
 
Has anyone who reserved on pre-launch for the upgrade program pick up instore for the 27th - 2nd had anything yet? I am getting nothing. Frustrating as you see others with dates further back getting shipped. 13:10 I reserved as it kept crashing.
 
Are there any 15PM in stock anywhere? Most places are saying 4-6 weeks waiting time. I am going to return the 15 Pro for a PM as I miss the better battery and bigger screen!

Makes the bezels a tad fatter in my experience. But not sure I can be bothered to spend so much on the Torras.

To test screen encroachment I have created images the same size as the iPhone Pro Max display, with a different inside border colour set to 1 pixel, 2 pixels etc. I can only see the colour of the border once I get to my 5 pixel border image. It’s also slightly to the left…

I attach these so you get the idea but they’re in the wrong order and the resolution might be off due to compression from the forum.

So, managed to grab an apple watch series 9 last night and paid extra to have it delivered today! I went for the pink 41mm watch with the pink sport loop. Rang EE, was on the phone with a lovely chap for about 10 minutes and we got the watch plan sorted without any problems. Really happy with the series 9! Trading in my s7 with apple, for £135.

Torras GlassGo.

Looks like an issue with the images, all just show as bright blue for me

Faint border at the edges. To be fair the choice of colours is rubbish - my bad. I’ll re-do them at some point and upload real links.

No it’s my bad, I was just expecting photos of the phone with the images on, totally misread your post!

Yeah sorry - the only info I had was that my phone was delivered was from Royal Mail tracking (no photo evidence, just a sketchy signature). MM website showed nothing for 48 hours, and then just randomly showed as paid. Doesn’t look like they’re bothering to update as ‘received’ or ‘processing’ or whatever.

Not going to hold anyone to their answers, but do you think that I'll have to wait the full time to 9th November or later?

Partner got a standard 15, was told 5-10th October, then suddenly and email to say that it was arriving 27th September - and it did. I'd be delighted if something like that happened for me.

I ordered the same ones this morning and didn’t think it would be an issue.
Now read some reviews with some people saying it does slightly cover the screen, that sounds absolutely daft.
Phone is coming tomorrow and in interest of early protection I’m going to stick it on, then look to return as not fit for purpose.

Any good screen protector recommendations without this stupid border, that also come with an alignment tool?
I'm using the Spigen EZ fit, pretty much covers the whole screen.

I’d say you’ll get it well before then.

Seeing a lot of movement on the 256 PM NT orders with 2nd-9th delivery. (The same as me)

My question is, those who have had theirs shipped earlier, are they paid out right or IUP’s?

I chose to finance mine through Barclays for the first time ever. All approved etc, no issues there. But I’m wondering if that’s why my order isn’t getting “bumped up” like others are seeing!??

Mine was paid out right, although mine is a standard pro, not a max.
How long after preorders opened did you place your order?
Took me about 40 minutes due to the Apple website crashing out dozens of times. Mine changed to preparing yesterday, and now shipped out for tomorrow.
Its likely yours will start preparing later today or tomorrow, and be with you over weekend or Monday.
