Other UK iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro/15 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

[ACDeag]

Seems mad that they can charge so much more than RRP. £60 extra for 15 Pro, and £80 extra for 15 Pro Max.
Isn't there regulations to stop retailers fleecing customers like this?

Still works out cheaper than buying from a network with their overpriced plans

Through EE and Apple All in One? Maybe over 3 years, mines

Absolutely butchering multi quote here sorry - anyway with apple one (didn’t realise that was included) aye that’s a fair deal, only cos you got the 30% though. Can I be your family? 😌

Have you received the benks screen protector? I’ve been considering ordering one because it’s one of the only ones I’ve found with rounded edges. Wondering how they look in person.

It is somewhere between Germany and the UK, still waiting…

Oh of course, but that same logic applies to buying the phone outright from anywhere else - the purchase is literally exactly the same for a £1059 price from them vs a £999 price from anywhere else. Nothing extra for the extra cash....

 

[Azamkhan]

Waiting on mobile phones direct to update. Still showing pending.

 

[zildMacjian]

Anyone had any confirmation from three ?

 

[johnmed]

Still preparing to ship/ 'Arrives Tomorrow' on the Apple Store. Hope it does as I sold my 13PM yesterday!

 

[Deeps]

Has anyone else had any notifications yet?

Think it will be this afternoon that most of us will get notifications for Apple orders.

I pay O2 £7.99 for 15GB of data (doubled to 30GB by Virgin Media Volt), over 24 months it is £52 from Giffgaff (no commitment to Giffgaff) and £7.99 for airtime to O2. O2 want £80 a month for 30GB plan over 2 years.

Although uber eats, its always the same number every time... :/

I am not even joking, my Deliveroo pin is 69. And it's the same every time.

Mine is 58 every time.

I'll tell you why.

Those glass screen protectors will probably be the thinnest pieces of trash, they won't adhere to the screen as nicely as the £10 ones or be anywhere as durable.

The clear case from Apple at £49 - Whilst I agree it's a little high in price for what it is but it will not yellow at all for the duration the owner has it. That one you have, I can guarantee will yellow and look ugly after a while. Also, those magsafe rings are horrible compared to the real deal.

Each to their own and it's up to them how they want to protect their £1000+ devices.

It does not make them a mug.


EDIT: I have just read your comment that, that clear case has no yellowing after a year of use so the jury's out on that one

Nope, have had the same screen protector on for a year, no chipping, bubbles or issues.
If you want to convince yourself that paying more for something that’s likely come out the same factory in China but has been marked up for more somehow makes it’s better, knock yourself out fella.

Last few digits of your phone number... in theory it makes it easier for you to remember (and hopefully not for the driver)

15 Pro Max Black 256GB dispatched and upgraded to early delivery with DPD from EE. Same for the Watch Ultra 2

I ordered a watch from EE (only yesterday admittedly) did you get an order number as soon as you ordered?

I got a thanks for your order email with the payment details but no order number where I can actually track it!

 

[RazorD]

2) Collections tomorrow: These will show "processing" a little longer...

It'll stay processing until someone has physically marked your order as ready in the store. Usually, this happens around closing time for your apple store tonight and for a few hours after - although sometimes they start an hour or so before.

 

[Premal212]

Anyone ordered from Vodafone with a decent result on their tracking page - mine still says 1-2 weeks delivery

Given that I run the (this year) £18 for two Spigen protectors on my phone and my wife chooses to buy cheap; I definitely know and feel there is a difference in them.

If coming onto a public forum and calling people "mugs", unprovoked, makes yourself feel better about buying cheap, knock yourself out fella.

 

[BraXzy]

EE upgrade texts all came through about 7am. Tracking now shows dispatched!

Ordered over the phone at 2pm Friday after my original online order failed.

 

[zombierunner]

Ordered some nomad cases for 15 pro. First time trying them. Look quite nice.

 

[Azzin]

EE do seem to be having a bad couple of days. The MyEE app has been down for a while - "We're fixing a few things"

Happens every year.

 

[Azzin]

Same here, with EE on SIM only last 3 years, been going into Central London regularly lately and even use map navigation is difficult. Also lossing signal regularly in supermarkets.
Thinking moving but I like the Apple Music with EE due to high resolution music.

Supermarkets are basically huge Faraday cages.

 

[Lee_Mac]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll miss ya..... Better bloody Not.

Today this thread will descend into endless worrying why no email has been sent yet about dispatch
Zen everyone, typically they don't send dispatch details until late afternoon. Start panicking if you've not got anything by 11pm lol

I can’t get the friends and family one but i can get a 20% discount through my employer if you want it, or 25% off at Voda.

 

[Azzin]

They've been having issues across the board due to the traffic iPhone has caused. They have been working late for several days trying to identify the root cause and provide a solution. This launch hasn't gone very well.

For anyone worrying about their pre-orders, their fulfillment team is not affected by this.

This happens every year, it’s not as if if they don’t know what’s coming.

Having said that, Apple’s pre order this year was shambolic and probably the worst one ever for glitches, time outs etc.

 

[Azzin]

Yes, I think it was. I'm in this bucket

Me too.
