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

Any pics of the cosmetic marks.

The Blue one is perfect. The Nateral had a scratch out of the box.

How comes you returned the Nat T for a Blue T?

The Nat was scratched out of the box. Chose the Blue as I had only seen pics of the Nat before it was delivered and I wasn't a huge fan of the colour. Like the Blue more now in hand, similar to the PB 12 Pro I used to own.

Has anyone got a natural 256GB Pro Max in store?

I haven’t seen any stock in the last week. The first weekend I got a few notifications of higher storage models but now nothing..

Been the exact same for me too, at this point I’m thinking of just pre ordering for 24 oct but really don’t want to wait that long

Yep no stock at all in the Apple stores. It’s been a week now. Maybe a change later in the week.

same across Europe. I ordered two and earliest delivery will happen on 24 and 25 of Oct. I am almost certain that it will be one week earlier but maybe Stores will get their orders faster. I will cancel orders if I will cop in store.

My 15PM 256gb white titanium is out for delivery today.

For anyone who is still on processing, there will be pretty no much movement for a while then when it goes to preparing for shipping- there’s movement like a rocket from then on!

I'm from Greece and I will be in London for 20-24 Oct. Any chance that I will be able to find a 15 PM NT in stores?
I have planned this visit long time ago to experience the Apple Store purchase procedure but it seems that it will be pretty tough eventually

You need to check apple.com/uk just before 6am on the day or ideally 1-2 days before to try and reserve the model you want for pick up. You will need to input a postcode close to the Apple Store that you prefer.

You can also reserve an iPhone Upgrade Programme model and when they bring it over in front of you at the Apple Store, you can say that you would like to pay in full instead. You are unlikely to pass a credit check for the iPhone Upgrade Programme if you are not a UK resident anyway.

 

[Ossyref]

You can order the eSIM via the My O2 app and get a QR code almost immediately, worked for me.

Only if you have been migrated to O2’s new billing platform apparently which not everybody has been yet

 

[spinstorm]

How do you reserve an iPhone upgrade program phone? Don’t you have to pass the credit check first?

 

[wba1990]

Decent stock in the Apple Birmingham store is appears if anyone still looking

 

[LegendaryAced]

Not in the UK. You just reserve online. And you go through the credit check at the store.

Further to what LegendaryAced said I would recommend you to check Apple UK website and if you spot one for pickup in any of the London stores you pay it straight away online. You will, then, have 7 days to pick-up the iPhone at the store.
This morning there were 15PM 256 available for collection at Apple Brompton so it really is a matter of trying because eventually they will pop up.

Yes mine does this and many have said theirs do to varying degrees. It almost feels sunken the back glass.

People have checked the display models in store and have said 90% feel the same. The other 10% are smooth. I initially was wound up by it but am learning to live with it as I love the device. I use mine naked so it does affect me. I may at some point take it back to Apple and either get them to swap it out or resit the glass

Thank you for your response.

I have just returned from my local Apple Store to compare and I would say around 70% are better than my one, 20% the same and 10% are worse.

I think I am going to return my one as it's noticeable every time I swipe from right to left near the edge and think it would annoy me after a while knowing I paid £1,399 for the pleasure.

I'm in two minds now on if I should skip this year altogether (would be the first time ever doing so) or try again as I do appreciate the weight difference and feel in the hand.

Anyone know how long does it normally take from preparing to ship to shipped status? Mine changed from processing to preparing to ship on Monday morning and stuck there since. I have a locked trade-in offer (decent pay) at Back market valid until Thursday so I need to send my old phone before the offer expires

Managed to get one via the apple website(uk, London region) seems to be a lot of stock today!

 

[ascender]

My 256GB Pro Max arrived and I'm genuinely surprised by how light it feels. I've always had the normal Pro due to the size and weight, but I'm at that age where I'll benefit from a bigger screen for my eyes.

It will take a bit of adjustment, but the reduction in weight is a big step forward in usability/comfort.

Thank you so much for your help.
So you think the best time to check is 06:00 clock in the morning British Time when they refresh the inventory, right?
I was thinking also just to purchase one when I see availability for 256 GB PM NT in London and arrange to a friend to pick it up for me. I didn't realise how difficult will be to find it.

In Greece some rumors claim that we will see availability around... Christmas.

Finally got an update from mine which was bought from EE on 16/09

As per my experience it does not have to be at 6am London time (that was for the launch day, Sep22), it’s actually anytime during the day, and you’ll be luckier to find stock if you search on the website rather than the Store app. I saw 15PM stock this morning at 10:30 in 2 London stores, but you have to keep trying.
But maybe they load new stock received during the night at 6am and then keep loading it at they continue receiving it throughout the day.

 

[PegasusTenma]

Today there is quite some stock moving in-stores, at least in London.

How do I get one of these phones? I've been trying forever.

Is it better to just walk instore and ask or is it better to use the reservation system?

I'm looking for 256/1TB pro max titanium

I always get worried about ordering the wrong phone as the listings for pro and pro max look so similar
