On Friday morning take a look on Apples website and check stock in your area for in store pick up, thats what I did with my 14 Pro last year as I had major problems with the app last year and missed the launch day.

Then cancel your order with Apple for the one you have got on order.

Only downside for me is that it was a 2 hour round trip to go and collect it from Norwich.

Cheers all

Can you do the Barclays Finance and still do in store pick up?

The contract can work out acceptably in some cases. Of course it isn't as cheap as buying a phone outright on 0% and going SIM only, but, just as an example...

Friend on O2 was paying £66 a month for a 14 Pro Max and the tariff over 3 years. But O2 do Switch Up, which means you can change phone for free, so it's now going to be changed to a 15 Pro Max for the same monthly tariff and no extra outlay. Phone is around £50 a month on 0% for 2 years anyway, so if you just consider the O2 contract as a perpetual contract that entitles you to a new phone every year no questions asked, you could look at it as the tariff part being only £16 a month anyway. It also includes EU and USA roaming which is pretty good.

Over 12 months on a 0% plan you'll have paid £600 plus whatever for your SIM anyway. I guess as with everything it depends on your use case and how you want to break it down. I don't think I'd ever personally want a contract that was going to run for 3 years, but I could understand the appeal of doing it and upgrading phone every year for no charge with no hassle of selling/trading in.

The issue with that is you are stuck with O2. I was with them in around 2017 and they were terrible for data and reception, I've switched back to them recently and I'm finding the same. Can't wait to go back to EE or even Vodafone, which I'll have the freedom to do once the 18 months are up (or I can pay it off early, without the cost of a phone adding it up).

Shame that lush dark red colour turned out to be fictional! Maybe next year the courage will return…. I’ve not had the time to look at the vids yet - whats the weight saving for the pro max vs the 14?
 
I am 50/50 on whether I could get away with the 15 plus but coming from a 14 pro I don’t think I’d like the lower refresh screen, no always on display, macro camera etc but I do want a bigger phone again, see if I can pick up a pro max on Friday, if not I’ll go for the 15 plus.

Going to lower refresh makes the phone feel sluggish. It’s not but it feels like it. Every time I pick up my gfs 13 mini I feel like it’s lagging.

I’d strongly advise against it - for the refresh rate alone. If the 15 Plus had ProMotion I’d have upgraded from my 13 PM in an instant.

The handy thing is you can always run your 14 Pro in 60hz mode and you’ll get a feel for how it is.

That was my concern, I’d probably not notice after a few days of using the plus, it’s just that initial period where I’m likely to return the phone :p

Don't do it. 60hz is nasty.

Oh yeah I forgot you can switch between the refresh rates, I’ll put it in 60Hz and see how I get on.

Sorry, i cannot see the logic in going from a 14 pro to a 15+. most of the iPhone of 15 and 15 + is the same as a 14 pro bar the screen size with a lower ppi screen and a lower refresh rate. Seems to me to be a downgrade with the thing you use the most. the screen

The main reason is I wanted a bigger capacity battery but because I can’t get hold of a pro max anywhere before November almost then I figured a 15+ would be suitable, I now know it’s not :)

I upgrade one of my EE lines:

iPhone 15 Pro 256 Black
24 months
125GB data
£79pm

However, they discounted it down to £32 per month by applying 30% F&F, 20% Perk and 10% loyalty (been with them for 18 years, Orange). That's a total cost of £768 over the 24 months!

Edit, £30 upfront so overall 24 month cost is £798. They also credited the £6.99 delivery charge.

. That's some mega stacking.

What's the 20% perk?
