Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[zerolight]

Reserved 2 Maxes this morning and popped in to collect at lunch. Painless.

 

[M.S]

Has anyone else’s John Lewis order been delayed? Received a text and email saying it won’t be ready to pick up at 2pm from my local Waitrose!

No, I picked mine up around 12 today. But that was from JL store.




Question.... does anyone know if I will lose my move streak by unpairing and repairing with new iPhone?

My iPhone XS Max and S4 watch arrived yesterday afternoon, great devices. Hope you all enjoy your new devices as well.

Can anyone who has used Music Magpie to sell their old phone tell me if I need to send charger, lightning cable and box with the phone? I've looked at the emails and MM website but can't see it specified anywhere.

I only sent the phone when I used them a couple years ago.

How do you guys manage to change phone and keep your move streak?

I’m worried in umpiring my watch and repairing to new phone I’ll lose my 50 day streak

...I always do an encrypted backup to iTunes and restore from that. That's habit, I'm not sure if 'complete' health data is backed up to icloud these days (if selected) however the encrypt check box on iTunes seems to indicate that health data (along with passwords and settings) can only be restored from an encrypted backup so I've stuck to that and with no problems.

Anyone in the 24 - 1 club had anymore movement since last night when the orders moved to preparing for dispatch. That’s where mine has stayed and deliver date has not changed still the week window...

@sparkie1984

You have to do an encrypted backup if you want to restore health/activity data.

@sparkie1984

You have to do an encrypted backup if you want to restore health/activity data.

If you have the iCloud sync for health data turned on on the old device and turn it on on the new one it all comes back (including workouts, achievements etc.) even if you set up as new. You are right though that an iTunes backup doesn’t include that data unless encrypted.

 

[sparkie1984]

Thanks guys..

Unfortunately I don’t have the facility for an encrypted iTunes backup so hopefully the iCloud option covers it!!

Not anymore. iCloud backups now support it.

 

[MadAngelUK]

Let us know how it goes, I'm interested. I should think 'Activity and badges' will carry over, I would reckon they believe actual health data - Self inputted medical conditions and historic heartbeat data is stuff that would only be carried in an encrypted manner.

Fingers crossed for you!

 

[sparkie1984]

Thanks guys.

It’s been unpaired so now to set up new iPhone and I’ll report back

 

[AVBeatMan]

I restored my XS Max from iCloud but it now has the beta on it (from my iPhone X). I just want to get rid of the beta on my XS. When I connect my XS to my Mac iTunes doesn't "see" the XS?
Been on the phone to Apple and they can't see any reason it's not detecting the phone. Only think it can be is the USB-C adapter, but, it is charging the phone when plugged in. Any idea's? Current software on my XS Max is 12.1.

 

[Manda]

Well, could be a blessing - look through this thread, there's a 20% EE online discount code on line rental.

The code has expired now as used it and EE didn’t honour it as now run out.

 

[AVBeatMan]

Anyone plan on using their Xs without a case?

 

[L8Craig]

Just been to pick my John Lewis order from Liverpool One.
Really nice screen.

Anyone plan on using their Xs without a case?

I’m thinking about it. I bought a 7 plus in November last year second hand. The lad had fitted basically a back protector that was like a film. Does anybody know the name of them? It covered the sides also.

 

[sparkie1984]

Well I’m restoring now....

Made the mistake of looking at the watches earlier and now looking at my S3 Milanese I hate it

 

[ajf.350d]

Sorry to be off topic but is anyone else having probables with the hsbc uk banking app? Just loads then disappears off the screen. Can’t seem to ever open it even after deleting and re installing it

Glad it’s not just me! Thought it might be an IOS 12 issue, but works fine on my iPad Pro which even has the 12.1 beta on! Unless, of course that beta has a fix for something...
