the kiosk is just a machine - you put your iphone in (just phone - no packaging)
the machine foes some tests - and I think some guy in india inspects it remotely

took us couple of tries until it was successful - it spits the phone out if it cannot contact anybody

took about 15 minutes for each try

money is payed inyo your account if phone is accepted by machine
Thank you. Just done the kiosk order.
 
So trade in values for me (iPhone 14PM, white, 256GB, owned outright) are £635 via Apple and £700 via MM

Selling it via eBay with their 80% off would get me a bit more £££ but more hassle too I reckon...

Anyone else going down the eBay route to sell their iPhone on?
 
Does anyone worry (if you use portrait mode) the 5x camera portrait shots are going to be not as useful as the current 3x versions? Wonder how the 15 Pro Max will handle portrait shots.

I've found eBay to be absolute hell for selling electronics on these days, so many blaggers and scammers. If you don't need the extra cash I'd save yourself some hassle.

TBH I've had zero issues; more so with eBay Managed Payments in place now (much better than PayPal)

Sold numerous hifi bits, some car parts and my previous S23U and P7P faultlessly...

But yeah; how much more 'might' I get over the trade in etc...!
 
Quick question for you all…

If you run through the pre-pre order and choose finance, can you change your order without going through it again?

I just cannot decide on colour… Natural, blue or black I love them all!
I believe you have to go through it again
 
No one getting 15 or 15 plus? All talk is Pro. I’m thinking of going from 14 Pro to 15 Plus, seems basically the same phone, but bigger screen as 14 Pro.

Never had the bigger screen, so thinking to try with the plus, seems decent specs over the 14 Plus.

Anyone tried the TORRAS brand before for screen protector? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CB6GCNXF

The reviews for previous models were good so I decided to give them a go. The film that removes potential dust particles is cool! Reminds me of a specific Chinese company doing silly TikTok videos with that kind of application 😄

They are similar phones, but I’d miss things like promotion

My other half is thinking of pink plus

Expensive, but given I normally go through 3-4 other ones trying to get them on dust free, they might be worth it.

If somebody’s ordered a new case and paid the £5ish to have it delivered ‘early’ instead of free (which would still be about a week before the phone is out) then you are an utter fool 😅
Haha, exactly that

I’ve found eBay fine for more niche items, but selling Apple products specifically is a nightmare wading through the 0 feedback bidders, non-payers, ‘can you ship to Timbuktu’ers, and those who claim you sent them an ‘empty box’ and immediately start a dispute… I now stick to AVForums or a trade in site.

eBay isn't friendly to sellers either

Haha yeah; AVForums... Got banned from there for telling a few of the mods some home truths... They didn't like that (although everyone else agreed)...

Not a forum I'd frequent again...

I'll trade it in, makes life easier. Will have to wait till I'm back from Dublin though!

yeah, I asked for my profile to be removed from there. some of their mods were a bit partisan in their views. You can’t be like that as a mod, it’s like being a sports commentator, you should be neutral.

Yup; they don't like being told apparently 😂

As you said; it's their way or the highway...

Same with PinkFishMedia; if you're opinions don't match the mods and their cronies; you're outcast... Like you, I asked them to delete my profile. It's VERY political on there and woe betide if you go against their views 🤨

Sad really; 2 what could be superb forums ruined by armchair Hitlers!

Oh well, decided to go for the blue titanium. All sorted ready for Friday.
It looks as though you should be able to change the finish if needed:

“Changes and Availability

If you want to change the iPhone finish you selected, you'll be able to do so when pre-order starts. To change your selected model, AppleCare+ coverage or other features, delete your saved pre-order and start again. Doing so will also cancel your loan.

We'll remember your preferred iPhone and payment method for three days after pre-order begins. Availability will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis at that time.”
 
Here we go again got my preorder in for my Black 15 pro max. Pairing that with the Blue Apple case.

Just got to sell my 14 pro max now, will try and sell privately but if that fails will take it down to O2!
