That happens quite often, its like a hold on the money and a dummy transaction. It will change to taken again when it is preparing for dispatch.

Rubbish ones, so I jumped back to Sky Mobile and got a good deal as a long-term customer.
I sure hope so. The status on the watch hasn't changed from preparing to ship, but my heart sunk when I looked at my bank account and it was rather inflated again...
I had that before with my old credit card. My new credit card does it differently so I can see the charge as pending. All other purchases made yesterday have been approved but the iPhone one remains pending and will not show as approved until the payment is taken by Apple. All the banks seem to handle this differently.
EE were originally offering me a £100 a month deal for the 256gb pro max, thought this was steep so opted for buying a 1TB pro max it outright and going sim only (22pm) this works out about 95 a month but instead of a 256 now have a 1tb phone. I take lots of family videos and photos so it is the better option for me. EE is being scandalous though, you pretty much pay the first year for your phone and then the second year for your data plan. So £1200 over 2 years, works out about £50 a month just for the contract. terrible!!! We are going back to the days where its cheaper by the phone outright and go sim only
I literally ordered the same case!If you find a good case, please let us know.
I went for this one, it seems to be slim yet tough - it's hard to get a non-bulky case that has good protective properties.

Will give it ago as it looks slim and premium! If I find anything else I will report back! But definitely keeping my order on this one!
They did do a leather one also, but I can’t find it currently.

I got the 16 Pro Max 256gb on the full works plan for iPhone and scam guard for £75 a month which I don’t think is too bad considering what’s included.
I’ve gone with the Spigen clear case I usually go with, but have added a screen protector this time (while I don’t normally put a protector on, this time microscratches on the display are the only thing stopping my phone from being in ‘Excellent’ trade-in condition after two years, so will bite the bullet this time and hope it’s not obtrusive at all.
No, I’m Sim free with EE so I just buy the phone out right
Not the ones that cover the capture button, unless you can find me a link.The Spigen cases are all on Amazon
To be fair some have not been released and show out of stock on Spigens website...

My 15 PM is still on 100% battery health and got it on launch date. I hope the 16PM is just as good.
A good one. £63 a month for a 16 Pro 512gb unlimited data.
Getting buyers remorse now though. Should of stuck to the 256gb for a fiver a month less but I only have to use 257gb to justify a 512gb purchase 😂, Also it wasn't a necessary upgrade either but selling my 14 Pro for £480.
Mine works out at £84 on a 2 year deal with my 20% off for a 256 PM in black 😊
Hoping I get it before the 23rd as I go on holiday for 2 weeks then!
Yeah mine was too, i gave my iphone 15 pro max to the wife which saves me on her upgrade also
Its basically an as new phoneIt will work out ok. I had the same happen when I bought my Vision Pro.
Is it iCloud Photos that reduce the size, I thought it was Optimization that did that?
Pretty standard 2 days after preorder day. Just keep checking, as they do seem to get some on the site every now and then.
