Ah lucky! I have the delayed text but just waiting for it to arrive. The automated system when I call says it should be here by 6pm but who knows.
Got a tip for us?

No. It failed during the transfer to the new phone said it couldn’t be completed and now only option is to wipe everything which I am not happy about to be honest with you.
When I said the Belkin is better quality I was referring to its durability as the one on my iPhone XS is now into its third year without a single blemish, scratch, chip or anything.
Did you have to unpair from old phone and repair to new phone? If so, did you lose anything (as far as you can tell so far)?
I’m loving the mini so far! One thing I didn’t realise is how light it would be, even after only a few hours picking up my old phone now feels SO HEAVY.
Think I’m going to wait until my screen protectors arrive on Tuesday before I take it out.
I‘m really not understanding how people can mess up just ONE of these protectors???
It comes with a blue plastic ‘guide’ which you first place over the screen of the iPhone.
Next, holding the protector upside down over the iPhone screen and ‘guide’ , peel back the protective plastic film on the protector (whilst continuing to hold it up upside down - this ensures no dust can fall onto the face of the protector) and then slowly lower it down on top of the ‘guide’ which ensures 100% correct alignment.
Finally, press down in the centre of the protector and watch the giant air bubble slowly move itself towards the outside edge of the screen. Any further smaller air bubbles can be teased out with a small squeegee or plastic card or even a cloth and voila! Done!!
Takes me literally 10 seconds - I’ve done hundreds of these for family and friends. This method ALWAYS works flawlessly!
I’m in love 🥰
I'm in love with mine as well and it's the first time I've felt like that about a new iPhone for a while!
The Quick Transfer process does NOT transfer Apple Watch from old iPhone to new.
When I did my transfer from XS to iPhone 12, everything transferred over other than my S4 Watch. I had to then unpair the watch from the XS and repair it to the iPhone 12 (you can’t have a watch paired to more than one iPhone at a time) but once I repaired, all the Apple Watch data from old phone to new was brought over (it kept all my historic workouts and everything).
The process of unpairing the watch from an old iPhone actually creates a backup of the watch. When you then repair it to the new iPhone, you just opt to ‘Restore from Back up’ instead of ‘Set up as new Watch’.

No, I've since sent it back (posted on 30th November) Got an email from them a couple of days ago acknowledging receipt and saying they would refund in 5 working days.
I paid using my First Direct Bank card and got stung for a couple of quid "foreign currency processing fee" I expect the same with the refund.
My own fault for wanting to support the company directly, in hindsight I should have checked Amazon first, less hassle and cheaper in the end, plus I'd have noticed that last year's iphone case was half the price of the 12 and probably about what it's worth.
Well it looks as most of us have received our phones which is great.
Guys its been a pleasure as always. I love these delivery threads.
See you all next year for next years watches/phones in September or whatever.
Take care and stay safe.

It does ask you on your watch if you want to pair the new phone to your watch while you’re doing the quick transfer. You’re right though it doesn’t do it automatically
Nothing like a new iPhone to bring the community together in these troubled times!
Thanks for the laughs, the tears and the virtual queues and hopefully see you all back here next year
It’s worked for me. It’s not great but give it time and your watch vibrates and asks if you want to transfer. The system needs to be far more transparent IMO.
Ugh I'm literally the last stop and I have dinner plans tonight. It's gonna be 11pm by the time the driver reaches my door. Why does this sh*t always happen to me?
I am 17:02 to 18:02 haven’t a clue how long the drivers shifts are been out for delivery since 07:34
