Yes sounds like you had a shitty experience but also few mates have had great warranty service from them too.

I’ll stick with my 14pro I think. Taking some will power though, I have a minor titanium fetish.

I pay monthly for my phone through apple now (sim only costs me £10 a month)

I used to buy them outright and get some money back from the old one, but i just cant justify that spend anymore lol

The new 15 Pro is £5 a month more, so im going to upgrade - and im the same as all the comments above, i care about the colour and then stick a case on it lol, but this time im going with the white, having had the grey for a long time

These are different people, there’s plenty more on my WhatsApp but we have disappearing messages on

 

[CrippsCorner]

Samsung are the only company I've actually had a blazing argument over the phone with.

 

[N0ddie]

I've pre-preordered a 15 Pro Max. Actual preorders open at 1pm tomorrow.

1st launch day (I hope) iPhone for me in many many years.

 

[hopgop1]

Also going for a pre-order 15 tomorrow, wasn't planning on changing my current phone for another couple of years, but I've had nothing but issues with it. Proper Friday afternoon in the sweatshop job.
Had a screen replacement free under warranty, but Apple are now adamant it's fine, so we'll see how fine they think it is when I send it in as part ex on the new one.

 

[Dom_capper]

I always go black.. raw titanium is tempting me and I can’t decide 🤷‍♂️ first world etc.

Yeah same, think I’m going to go for blue though. Went for sierra blue on my 13, wish they were doing a similar colour.
Only ends up covered with a case though.

Raw. It’s got to be done.

 

[Bubbles]

Ordered, arrives next friday! whooop

 

[Geddes]

I still have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and been not been looking that much at the 15 Pro Max, what's peoples thoughts on the step up on tech on the 15 Pro other than the camera, USB-C is there anything else? The titanium will be good too

Also what's the current rough selling price on the iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB going private?

 

[N0ddie]

I managed to order for store pick up. Black Pro Max.

 

[seb]

Green 15 for me. For delivery.

Should be a nice upgrade on my iphone SE LOL

 

[imprezaworks]

I’ve got a 13 Pro Max 128gb and it’s been ace. Since the 15 has been released the 14 pros have tumbled (13 pro max seems steady).

I reckon the I would get £600 ish and pay an extra 150 to get a 14 pro max. There’s one for sale (256) for 750 I’ve been looking at.

Battery life on mine is 91, the 14 pro max I’m looking at is 97.

Is my man maths just that, or just keep my current 13….

The processor in the 14 Pro is the same as the one in the 13 pro. The only difference between the 2 phones is the dynamic island and small camera improvements. I wouldn't do the change.

How much is your data/mins etc?

 

[imprezaworks]

For my contract?

£12. 10gb I think.

The 14 Pro has a newer processor, it’s the basic ones that used the same as the 13.

However, I doubt the difference would be noticeable in real world use tbh.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was only considering newer phone slightly better battery for not a massive amount more than mines worth. I blame the weather sat at work being a bit bored lol

 

[RSRowe]

I don’t even think it’s worth swapping until the phone says the battery needs replacing really.
Mine got down to 80% (I think) before telling me it was goosed. Getting a new one and trading it in was easier than going to the Apple Store and getting the battery done.

I went from 11 pro to 14 pro. If there was an Apple Store down the road, I’d have definitely gone that route.

The A16 and A15 were effectively the same chip.

 

[charltjr]

I am mightily tempted by a 15 pro max, trade in my 14 plus and get a bit of the old 0% finance.

Not sure about the colour though so I’ll probably wait until I’ve seen one in the flesh.

 

[botfch]

Preordered the 15 Pro Max in blue.

 

[Stay Puft]

Seems cheap

Preordered the 15 Pro Max in blue.

You mean grey?



I jest, the blue looks like it flips slightly in the light so probably the best colour.

 

[N0ddie]

I've went black but now think the natural Titanium looks the best.

Yeah I’m hoping it matches the midnight blue on my Mac.

 

[imprezaworks]

What contract deals are people getting for the 15?

 

[leeds2592]

Just pulled the trigger on a 15 Pro Max to replace my 11 Pro Max. f**k knows when i'll get it as all the 3 shops are out of stock and it says it'll come anytime from now until mid November 😂

 

[dangerous dave]

I signed my life away to a S23+ deal as it'll link up to my s8 ultra tablet. The tablet is a content consuming warrior, screen is incredible and cheaper than apples offerings..

The phone seems fine, a few annoying things like the keyboard and stuff can be changed.

Twas £200 down, £26 a month, s23+ 512 gig and trading in my old old handset for £110, (keeping my iPhone 13)

I can't reward apples anti repair hardware locking bs... I'll instead reward Samsung as they follow in apples footsteps.

 

[Oggy997]

f**k samsung

 

[N0ddie]

Collected my 15 Pro Max this afternoon from the Glasgow store. Twas very busy as expected.

 

[AdDaMan]

Three have totally fucked me.
Ordered my Pro Max on pre order day as soon as lines opened.

Not received today. Constant lies from them. Now had a text saying stock issues blah blah, trying to get it for you by the 4th Oct. Absolutely fuming.
