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

[sneeks]

Ordered via the website on my iPhone, the app remained at the almost there screen. Both iPhones ordered for collection at my local store next Saturday.

first time in years I got an early order in... the app was screwed.. website was fine after a few refreshes

 

[nwlondonlad]

Manged to get one pre order through on the app but second one refused to go through coming back with errors. In the end got 2nd order through my work laptop (of all things) where date has slipped to 27th - 2nd October Shambles. First time I've been let down by an Apple pre order

Now we wait for the banks to reject the purchase. Their algorithms often detect fraud when an authorisation is requested, then a couple of days later a large payment authorisation attempt is made. Capital One are terrible for this, so I've changed to a Bank of Scotland credit card, hoping the payment will be successful.

Apple are pretty good at protecting the order and letting you contact your bank and trying again. It's a stressful time though!

I’ve preordered both Pro Max and Watch S9 on my Bank of Scotland credit card through Apple Pay.

Nothing is showing up in my statements yet. No hold or authorisation charges. Usually if I used a debit then the money would go on hold.

Is there any chance if we got 2-9 October that it can arrive earlier?

Page was late showing for me, but other than that my blue 15 pro ordered for 22nd delivery.

 

[Vundu]

Wow sounds like very high demand this year going off the trouble people have had.

 

[RRC]

Well that was stressful… by the time I could get in delivery had slipped on 256GB Pro in natural titanium so had to opt for in store collection. But I’ve pre-ordered!

Very much so, that's always a worst case estimate.

It's also worth noting that there will be some "on the day" ones. After initial pickups (ie. the week after) I think you can even reserve them for pickup if you're lucky enough to grab one.

Not a very smooth pre-ordering experience for most by the looks of it?

hight demand plus probably that rumoured limited stock on the PM with earlier production issues

Costco "Buy the iPhone 15 Pro from £969" - £40 off.

 

[vine-boating]

Anyone ordered from Vodafone?

 

[krspkbl]

There is a chance yes. Some people might cancel orders or once Apple has had a bit more time to get a picture of demand they might be able to get it to you sooner. The dates are just an estimate. That’s why it says 2-9 October. They don’t know exactly when it will arrive yet.

Agree with everybody else, that was a nightmare! Managed to order 15PM 512 Blue for pick up next Friday via the website. App is still down 🤔

 

[cheesemason]

Can you change delivery address after order? Just realised that Apple has my account as “Road” rather than “Lane” 🤦🏻‍♂️ Post code is right and there is no address that ends “Road” so hoping it’s okay, but makes me a little nervous!

 

[jameseld82]

After 33 Minutes of trying!

 

[G3Blue]

Arndale - can pick it up on my way into the office haha

I'm collecting at Trafford Centre while I have the day off

 

[daneoni]

That was probably my worst experience trying to order.

Couldn’t get in on my Phone, Mac, or iPad. Then I got in on the iPad and it would only let me order one phone. Didn't remember any of the saved pre-orders
Then I got to Apple Pay and it said failed/error…but then I still got an acknowledgment letter.

Then I had to use the Employee store to get in again and order the second phone. Then I ordered the first phone again cos i wasn’t sure after seeing the failed Apple Pay message

Anyway all done now. Blue titanium x2 for 22/09 delivery

Complete mess

 

[mproudfoot]

I had gone through the pre-order pre-order process but still wasn't sure I was going to go ahead as I'm quite happy with my 13 Pro, but my wife's iPhone X is a mess, screen cracked to hell and the battery barely lasts a few hours in her hands. I had selected Natural for no real reason (the colour is irrelevant as it's going to be in a case anyway), but when I decided to go ahead (about 1:15pm, the delivery dates were already being pushed back a week or two, so I just picked another colour at random -black or blue I think- and that's now scheduled for delivery next Friday (22nd).

In the end managed to get an in-store pickup on the 22nd, as home delivery was showing 27-2 Oct. Phew, as wanted it for a trip on the 1st!

 

[Miao Ying]

Store App ended up keeping the whole “Almost there!” access denial screen the entire time. Website on a Safari browser was the only way I got an order through. Store App still not accessible at the time of posting :-/. Oh well got mine in. Pro Max Titanium Blue 1TB, picked store pickup on the 22nd as delivery was already backed up to the Sept 29-October weekend. Happy hunting everyone

 

[skidu]

What a shambles, gets worse each year..

Somehow still managed to get it for the 22nd but was a stressful 15-20 mins.

 

[Gubro]

15PM natural titanium is now 10th of October
