Same here, if they sound half as good as the Homepods it's worth the money
From reviews sound is good, its just everything else that is no good compared to competitors, they have had some time to sort it but missed the boat IMHO, still I bought one out of pure interest, Oh! and the free 20w plug 😄

I didn't even know they were manufactured in the US
I'm also a G0 and I really doubt that they were assembled in the USA and then shipped to the UK. The components are manufactured all over the world, but I thought all the assembly happened in Taiwan/China.

Well it seems daft that people in the US are tracking their orders coming from China and people in the UK getting their orders from the the US, and Apple say they don't include a charger to save the environment! WTH
 
Any of you unfortunate enough to receive unit with yellow tint?
My screen has been doing strange things, I have it on manual brightness and True Tone off, and then sometimes it just dims, also goes a dull colour then pure bright, will keep monitoring it going it might settle. Will also try True Tone again and see how that affects it.

I have rechargeable pucks that sit and connect under some of the Alexas so you can use them outside or wherever you want, something to consider if that's something you need ;)

I might just get one of these instead for now and give my old but still decent portable Bose SoundDock a new lease of life!

I did that almost 8yrs ago and works brilliantly, and guess what you just inspired me to get it out of a cupboard and here it is and the receipt 😄

Who does actually use True Tone it’s awful 🤣 just have to fiddle with advanced settings for colour luckily mines saved from back ups otherwise right out the boxes iPhone screens are a bit bad
 
DHL are useless better hope they haven't lost my phone...
I was given the delivery time today 11.03 - 12.03 heard nothing cannot even contact DHL via phone or email....

Anyone had this before they just sent me a text saying driver delayed parcel will be with you soon....

Had this type of excuse with DPD in 2017 with my iPhone X that ended up being lost after they fobbed me off with everything had to contact Apple for another replacement after waiting 3 days for investigation.....

Pretty happy with our iPhones. Going through that yellow tint thread and its really disheartening people having screen issues. I thought it was thing of the past.
 
Is it worth buying a Magsafe charger?
It's debatable, I bought one to save on ware and tear on the lightning port plus I can just drop the phone on it while I'm working at my desk, one thing to note though is if you want it to charge at the full 15w you have to get the Apple 20w plug nothing else seems to charge at that rate not even the Anker chargers, plus if your after true fast charging then you have to plug the phone in with the lightning cable.

Ordered myself a couple of the HomePod Mini's from John Lewis this morning, coming tomorrow.

Going to replace the Google Nest Mini's I've been using in the bedrooms. I'll give those to my sister. I'm actually really looking forward to receiving them. I know I'm going to end up buying more and having them in every room in the house.

...how did you manage that - they're showing as out of stock on its website (wouldn't have thought they were in stock this morning)?!
