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

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.

True. Was looking at the 100gb as a safety net. Sure i could easily survive with 90GB.

Voxi have been great for me but I’m switching back to talk mobile. Can get 30 GB for £7.95 a month on a 30 day contract, plus £15 cash back and it includes European roaming. Having tried Voxi and talk mobile before I can’t tell a difference in performance between them(both on Vodafone) so may as well go for the cheaper one, especially with a couple of European trips coming up. Only difference is Voxi has visual voicemail but that’s meaningless to me

Thanks for this.

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

these aren't fast chargers though are they? - either the 15w for iPhone or watch fast charger?

 

[aldo82]

Thanks for this.

Actually one other difference, Voxi does have a global bolt on. I was in Canada a couple of weeks ago and paid 15 quid to get some data and minutes for the week which worked great for me. Talk mobile doesn’t offer anything outside of Europe. No global roaming coming up for me hence the switch back to talk mobile but I might switch again for future trips. That’s the advantage of 30 day sim only!

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

It is Apple approved and on their website. It is currently £127 on Anker's website but they have a big sale coming 10/11th Oct so hold off until then

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.

Is it normal to be expecting a delivery tomorrow but no DPD tracking details yet? Keeps saying the reference number is wrong.

I’m expecting one but it’s via DHL, rather than DPD like I expected.
In my experience with DPD - a lot of the time they’ve not confirmed anything about the parcel until like 2am, and then confirmed the actual time slot in the morning.

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.

What does the cube come with? Fast charge cable etc?

 

[victoriani]

I have the Anker Cube and love it!

Same. Love mine!

 

[Sheza]

It comes with a USB-C wall adaptor and USB-C to USB-C cable. I guess you could sub them out for other ones but I have decided not to mess with what it comes with! But all the charging is wireless - MagSafe for the phone, a built-in Made for Apple Watch licensed Watch fast charging puck, and a 5W wireless pad on the back for AirPods.

 

[Petoz]

Is it quite a matte finish or quite glossy in real life?

The back is matte. Smooth to touch if that makes sense.

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.

Sorry, I wiped my old phone so can’t take photos and use it to upload. The keyboard creep is small, but I noticed straight away. Getting used to it now tbf.

Immaculate install as I didn’t immediately after taking the wrapper off 🤌🏼 I also put the camera covers on because they were included. I may take them off once I have a chance to see what photos are like.

 

[joey561]

No problem at all, was just on the off chance.
I’m going to stick the ESR on tomorrow and see how I go - happier to give it a try than no screen protector at all.

For reference - these were the comparison shots with the camera protectors I had seen on Amazon - they claim they installed them perfectly, which of course is open to interpretation, so I’d be interested to hear how your experience is.
No lens cover on the left, lens cover on the right (think there is some heavy compression here though anyway)

How much do you use currently per month?

 

[dhruveonmars]

No you don't have to queue or make appointments anymore. It's been like that for a while now. You can just walk in and talk to any member of staff who is free and they will be able to assist you. I live in London and have been to the Brent Cross store several times in recent months.

On the iPhone launch day, access to the stores was quite restricted. I went to pick mine up, and there were separate queues for people just to shop as normal (not for the new iPhone, as that was on reservation/pick up only). So wasn't sure if that was still the case

About 65-70

Yes usually on launch day and maybe a day or two after it’s like that but after it goes back to normal. I’ve been a few times since the launch and the last 2-3 times it was business as usual. 😃👍

Now we play the waiting game for delivery today.

 

[joey561]

It’s happening!

 

[Lee_Mac]

Back in this thread again, and get it do it all over again.
Managed to get a launch day 15P Max but I’ve decided the Max is just too big. Returned the phone via UPS yesterday and ordered the standard pro. Estimated delivery 29th-3rd November lol

Anyone else in the same boat 😎😂🤪

I literally would have done that exact swap with you because I am looking to go the other way 😂 Have a 256GB Pro Natural Titanium and looking for a Max.

I thought in store it felt like there wasn't much of a difference between Max and Pro. What made you change?

And sooooo expensive. 👀
