At least you have the tracker. Mine was meant to be here by 3:49 and I still haven't received it. Had a text from DHL saying it will be delayed but god knows when i'll receive it.
When you check, use the reference number option rather than tracking number. Or is it that they haven't updated the status of your delivery after the delay?
 
Long shot - does anyone have a Barclaycard and use the app?

On the settings on the app it says don’t sign out or cancel registration when you move to your new device just skip the registration process then sign in (on new device)

Erm. How the hell do you skip the registration process? Can’t get passed having to register as new and if I enter all my details it just comes up with card cannot be registered.

For clarity, I’ve now signed out of the old iPhone and factory reset it based on the advice above.
 
Have you checked the watch app on your new phone, does a watch show there?
I had done, there was a splash screen asking me to acknowledge from the watch but there was nothing to acknowledge, the splash screen said 'continue', on pressing that it went to the pairing process (of course the watch is still paired to the 11) So I unpaired from the 11, was not confident pairing to the 12 would restore any badges (none in the activity app) so I did an encrypted back up of the 11 in iTunes) and restored the 12 from there... the watch (and the EE data) is successfully transfered now having restored from the backup created on unpairing from the 11 :)
 
My 12 has rebooted etc, and is happily downloading apps, but the XS is just stuck on 5 mins remaining...plus I'm gonna need to repair my Apple Watch by the looks of it
I thought I had the same issue with the Apple Watch - for me it happened a while later - the watch just randomly popped up later asking to transfer.

Stick with it and it will happen.

I just used the numbers I received on my text from DHL. It appeared at the beginning but now it's no longer there.
 
Finally delivered time to get it set up

Wife's iPhone 12 Mini in green arrived earlier. I'm very impressed, the screen seems a lot bigger than I was expecting and if feels great in the hand.
I had a 12 Pro which I returned as I was planning on getting the standard 12. I'm tempted to go for the 128GB Mini as I believe the camera hardware is the same on the 12 Mini and 12, with the 12 Pro having an extra telephoto lens.
Battery life will be less but I'll leave it a few days and see how my wife gets on with hers and what battery is left at the end of the day.
 
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’.
The issue I have is that since my XS is stuck on 5 mins remaining, I can't actually unpair the watch from the XS in order to repair it to the 12. Maybe I should just cancel the transfer, and hope that it's all transferred. I always have the backup I made in iTunes to fall back on if all else fails...
 
Seeing all these pictures of the leather cases makes me seriously wanna pick one up. They look amazing! Anybody recommend a good contrasting colour to go with the graphite phone?
 
Gotta say I love the look and feel of this compared to my iPhone 11 Pro Max, it feels bigger but it’s smaller ?!?

Just going through the software update and then I’m going to bump it up to 14.3 for RAW goodness😁
 
Mine finally arrived too. Out of interest (with apologies, please spare me 100 pages of searching back incase its answered), what was the reality of deliveries from currys and 3 in the end?
I saw that John Lewis went live for orders at 8 as someone said.

I have a brand new Apple black one I am sending back to Amazon, got it from them for £48, it looks awful, can post it to you if you want 👍
 
Still no sign of DHL in Oxford, I’m stop 111. The tracking disappeared at stop 92 like an hour or so ago, my window is 18.34-19.34 fingers crossed 🤞
