    7 days left to decide to go with AppleCare + or Loveitcoverit. Still not sure what to do. Do loveitcoverit get replacement handsets from apple?

    What have people decided to do re cover?

    What’s the big advantages with apple care? Do you basically get a new device without question if you scratch the screen or body of the phone or damage through drops etc?

    I went with loveitcoverit as I can pay it off monthly but I’m not sure about where they get their new devices from.

    Ordered on Stephen’s day, and just went to check there, and my order has disappeared. This happened to anyone. Have the email with the Order ID and it was working fine a day or two ago as it was saying processing . Now it says it can’t find my order when I log in.

    Ordering the Pro Max. Any benefits to ordering it from Apple versus 3? I think it may actually be a bit cheaper via 3.

    Probably locked to 3? Easier to sell an unlocked version down the line but 3 will probably unlock then anyway

    Definitely better to buy direct from Apple especially with consumer law, much easier to go through a consumer law claim with Apple than with three, trust me when I say that. I’ve had experiences with both.

    ON a side note, is there any way of legitimately unlocking these other than going down the request from the provider?

    Is it actually locked?

    My 11 pro max, xR and XS max came unlocked from the provider.

    Yeah its locked alright. Im in no rush to unlock it so by the time I need it done the network will do it for me. Was more interested in unlocking apple phones in general. I have an XR here that I need unlocked that is no longer linked to a network contract so they're not much help.

    If they are locked, the network that locked it has to unlock it, wether they want to help or not.

    If it’s eir, god love you.

    After resigning to the fact that I'd not bother with one.

    Still haven't received tracking information or any email tho. Only a text

    Very happy I moved over to Apple. Everything is just better, particularly when you have to other devices to go with it. Best I’ve ever owned by far.

    Now I need to decide on a MBP or a Mac Mini to go the whole hog.

    M1 I should have said apologies. Buying an Intel macbook at this point would be mental.

    Have the 12 pro max for a few months now, great phone, but so was the XS max it replaced. Hopefully the next update does something with the notch although the phones are just so so good for the last few years that I’m just findings things to say.

    Any idea how long it typically takes to deliver once the status changes to 'Preparing to Ship'?

    Mine was very quick. Changed to preparing to ship on the afternoon of the 23rd. Changed to shipped a couple of hours later. Was delivered then about 10am Christmas Eve.

    It even went from UK to Germany and then to Ireland during that short timeframe. Can’t understand why UPS send them to Germany first. Obviously it’s their way of doing it but what a waste of money and resources.

    Anybody having trouble in getting 5g (Eir)? I have 5g enabled in the settings but still no joy. The only time I notice I have 5g is when I'm on twitter.
