Poll: *** The official iPhone 14 thread (it can talk to satellites, has AOD and everything!) ***

How can you get the 14 Pro Max 1TB for £ 1400? On the Apple site and in store its £ 1749. Is it some kind of special pay monthly deal?

Yeah it's costing me £1400 as in, that's what I'll be paying for the device as I am taking a family members upgrade

Apple are selling these for nearly £40 a pop but I found them on ebay for under £13 (if you buy two)! They are solid.

You're in the same boat as me, no stock of Pro Max models for some time. I actually want the 1TB model but that and all the other sizes aren't available at my local Apple store yet.

Most of the EE customers posting here got theirs at or around launch date and have taken all the stock.

Genuinely curious, why do you need 1TB on a phone?

4K video recordings, and those 48MP camera shots will take up some space.

If it matters, I just went ahead and placed the order and they confirmed on the phone that it is due to be delivered tomorrow (EE). The 1TB PM purple model.

Nice, I think you made the right choice all things considered. Enjoy!

I can play a YouTube video, push the button to turn the phone off (not a full power off, duh) and the audio keeps playing.

What about ad blockers? Inline video ads are intolerable.

No idea, I pay the £1.29 (or whatever it is per month) for YouTube Premium.

Use a VPN and connect to Argentina/India and you’ll pay under £1.20 for Premium, you can use your UK account and a UK bank card.

Best to use Monzo or similar to avoid the extra fees too.

What extra fees? I haven’t paid any conversion rate etc on any of my transactions.

I used to on Halifax until I moved it to Monzo earlier this year. No idea which banks do or don't charge fees though.
