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

Well, I was given an hour slot during which I had to be out for the school pickup, and missed it
Being redelivered tomorrow, when I will be in ALL day!

What courier did they assign, was it DPD?
I got my shipment notification this morning, still waiting for the tracking to activate - but says it will be here tomorrow

Well MM came through and paid me the £800 for my 14 PM 256gb which I had been resaving since April / May time lol

 

[StuartMoore]

Always paid out right as don't need to finance

Congrats! But that wasn’t what I asked!

I don’t need finance either, but 0% is 0%. 😊

Yeah it was DPD. If DPD you should get a chance to set a safe place or neighbour if it suddenly says it’s coming soon. (Unfortunately neither were an option for me today)

 

[StuartMoore]

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.

Thanks for the reply mate.

My order was in around 20 - 25 mins after pre order opening due to the app delays etc etc that everyone had to deal with.

Fingers crossed I see some movement soon then.

On the up side, I got a brand new 12 pro replacement at my local Apple Store today. The front and back were goosed. Cost me £79 instead of £579 as I have AppleCare+.
So my wife is gonna inherit a brand new iPhone 12 Pro! 😎

I literally will not leave the house all day, so I should be fine!

Does anyone have any good recommendations of 3 in 1 charging things? Now that I have the 15 pro, the apple watch series 9, and in case I was to get the USB-C airpods pro, it'd be nice to be able to charge everything altogether if that makes sense?

These from Journey are fantastic, my wife and I both have one. You can get 20% off at the minute too.

A bit early I know!

Does anyone know when (typically) the likes of Music Magpie allow you to sell your phone (15PM) - I’ll use the trick of getting a good price early and keep saving every week or so to lock that price.

Worked a treat this year as I got £780 for a phone that had a settlement value of £595.

Someone mentioned that it was around December time when they started to allow to sell iPhone 14s so I imagine around then?

Anker Cube, seriosuly considering buying one. Big sale 10-11th Oct so hopefully price drops lower

I have the Anker Cube and love it!

I have this one from Belkin. It even has fast charge for Apple Watch Series 7 and higher. Be careful though as there is an older slightly cheaper model that doesn’t have fast charge for the watch.

Belkin MagSafe 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station, 15W iPhone and Apple Watch Fast Wireless Charger, AirPods Charging Station for iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12 Series, Apple Watch 9, 8, 7, SE, Ultra - Black https://amzn.eu/d/dRh1bn2

 

[Mr.C]

Has anyone used sell.ur.co.uk for a trade-in and if so any feedback?

I think a number of people here have had good experiences with them however if you have one of the 14 models they’ve stopped taking them at least for now. People have also had good experiences with https://twigcard.com/selltech

 

[joey561]

How long does it take an order to get into the network if it’s scheduled by Apple for tomorrow?
It’s looked like this all day…

Have had this one myself for a while in the white - been mostly solid. A couple of mornings I’ve woken up and noticed my phone hasn’t charged - but we are talking a couple of times out of approx 18 months.

Decent charger, looks the part aswell.

The Anker cube looks good but £149 wow and it’s not apple branded

This is what mine shows now

 

[Jadesharp1992]

Thanks for the Belkin recommendations guys! Like the look of those! Also, my 14 pro max was delivered to music magpie at around 5:30 this evening, so hopefully I will have payment by Monday?

How do you do this? Asking for a friend of course…

Add a quote to your basket then choose save for later. It’ll save the basket in your account for 14 days - just keep resaving it before the 14 days expires!

I had the old one with no watch fast charge before for a long time and recently replaced it with the new model. I’ve never had an issue with it not charging any of my devices.

I may well have the older model then to be fair - I only use it my bedside for overnight charging so wouldn’t even notice fast charge for the watch.

I remember trying to buy some similar looking stands for cheap off amazon which arrived broken with wires hanging out - you get what you pay for.

I have the Anker Cube and love it!

I also have one for travelling, it’s really good for travel as less cords needed.

Anyone have any experience with VOXI mobile? they appear to be a subsidiary of Vodafone.

Currently falling out of love with Three and i would like to use Visual Voicemail for once too

They're offering £20 for 100GB and unlimited calls/text.

Currently paying 22 for unlimited everything on Three but as already mentioned. Their signal isn't great. Underground WiFi is rubbish and i'm sick of their constant RPI...which i know is prevalent with all operators.

Anker Cube! So compact and also travel friendly.

I used to have a Belkin 3-in-1 and it looked fancy but didn't have the Watch fast charging (new one does though) and was a bit too big on my desk. The Anker Cube has worked great since I bought it a couple weeks ago.

Heard good things about them. The £15 for 90gb data seems a better deal with them though. Unless you really need the 100gb of course.
