I pre-ordered from Sky fairly sharpish. I guess I wont get an update email until tomorrow regarding delivery time and date.
 
Troubleonlie said we need to talk about anything to keep this thread going, so I hope someone can help me.

Whatsapp won’t back up “Pic Below” I have 17 GB of iCloud storage available, iCloud Drive is on, I’ve reset network settings, I’ve done a hard reset and connected to various people’s Wi-fi and still not backing up. Any ideas please
I had this same exact problem where it sat on 0%. If I recall I just left it alone for a long period and eventually it completed.

Hmmm. Both the Engadget and Verge reviews both mention how buggy iOS 13 is. Think I'll hold off installing it on my wife's XR until I've had a thorough playthrough of it myself. Might even be worth waiting until iOS 13.1 for older hardware...
I’ve seen this mentioned but can’t say I’ve noticed any bugs myself in months of usage.

13.1 is fine for me. Use my phone for business and no issues on calls or apps at all.

I’m trying the 13.1 Beta on my XR and on the whole it isn’t too bad but there are a few quirks that I’ve reported back to Apple.

One of them was present in a previous build of iOS 12 but an update fixed it; seems to have reared its ugly head again.

Promising to hear regarding iOS 13.1 - thanks both.

Interesting. Maybe the reviewer's experiences are unique to quirks of iOS 13 running on the 11 hardware?

I recall there were some issues in iOS 12 early on that only manifested in iPhones 7, 8 and X, and nothing above or below for some reason or another.
 
Hi guys,

For those of you (direct apple orders) who said their funds have now been taken did you use a credit card?

My CC is still saying pending so I assume apple haven't taken the money yet.

Yes used a credit card
 
Being a bit cynical. BUT- the orders from apple seemed to go very fast from placing the order to preparing to ship. I think they did this to stop people cancelling their pre orders - once that status goes to preparing to ship its much harder to cancel right? So they mark them as that as soon as possible.

Apple store pickup, pre-ordered as soon as it went live, my credit card had a pending charge for the full amount since Sunday evening. Still pending.

I paid with CC, my order was around 13:02 on release day, was showing pending until today where it's now cleared.

This is a common issue, i've found that you need double the amount of free storage available for it to backup successfully.
I have the same problem. I've now stopped doing a backup for whatsapp and instead backup using iCloud backup to backup the whole device.

Ok thanks guys - so looks like it’s a mixed bag with pending / cleared transactions.

I guess for those waiting they should take the funds tomorrow?

Was yours delivery or instore pickup?

Mines delivery and still pending.
 
Hi,

I'm upgrading from a iPhone 7 128gb to a iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb, I went for the silver directly from apple.

For those of you who buy a new phone every year, has apple ever delivered a phone a day early? :)

They've done more than that, a week early at best:)

Mine is for delivery.
Placed order around 1:45 on opening day.
Funds had cleared from CC when I checked yesterday morning.

Maybe it depends on your CC issuer too? ie any security checks etc?

My comment applies to delivery slots beyond the launch date
[doublepost=1568727931][/doublepost]You would think a debit clearance will be faster than a credit card; my Monzo is still not charged. On the flip side i probably shouldn't expect any movement until early next week, seeing my slot is Sept 30- Oct 7th

Now apple wouldn't want to charge peoples credit cards ASAP to stop the charging their minds now would they.....
 
mine was a Barclaycard CC but still pending... hope there isn’t an issue but apple store order is saying delivery Friday. I pre-ordered at 1.02pm.

I wouldn't be concerned. Sometimes it can say pending up until its actually shipped.
