Other UK iPhone 16/16 Plus/16 Pro/16 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

Do we know if Apple still use either DPD or DHL for iPhone deliveries? I much prefer DPD in my area however the last couple of years it’s always been DHL who never stick to the time slot and just turn up whenever they like…

DHL suck round here too. Also hoping for DPD as the bloke lives just over the road.

I ordered my 16pm 256gb at 13:07 and got a delivery date of 25th-30th. Has anyone had a delivery date moved forward to an earlier day in the past? I’m kind of hoping that if some people cancel their orders that mine might get bumped up and delivered on release day.

Mine’s the same, hasn’t moved yet.

EE are a great company. Never had a single issue with them in many years!

That’s our experience too. Excellent SIM-only deal for three iPhones and two watches, and unquestionably the best coverage where we live on the Welsh border and in the Highlands (where, weather permitting and using an external 4G aerial, I can get upwards of five times the download speed than I can over the copper ‘phone line — despite the mast being over six miles away).

Does anyone know whether ‘phones scheduled for delivery on Friday will come from stock already held in the UK or will be sent from somewhere in Asia? And if the latter, will there be any way to track their progress (as people in the US seem to be able to do)? Not that I’m impatient or anything …. 😬

Historically, the stock is already here and sat in Hinckley.

This is turning out to be a very long week. Can’t believe it’s only Tuesday!! 🤣

I agree, forgot how painful pre-order weeks where especially when the case arrives and the screen protectors 😂😂

I agree, as I’ve never had problems with EE however their broadband is a bit of a mess at the moment. I want to upgrade to 1.6gb WiFi 7 for home broadband but if I do that I can’t have EE TV. Some sort of compatibility issue.

EE are excellent but their prices are ridiculously high without discount codes.
Their online pre-order process sucks. Ive never had my order go through. Always get stuck in their system and have to ring every time for them to pull it manually. I had same issue with SIMO upgrade other day as well.

 

[mozzamobile]

EE are good but not where I am as the signal is crap, ever since they took down the mast nearest to us and people are still waiting for it to be replaced..

o2 is the best here, and to be honest in all the years only had one issue with them... and they have the best signal where I am

If you get TNT Sport as an inclusive extra (worth £20-25 per month), their prices are suddenly very attractive…. I pay £28 per month for Unlimited everything and TNT Sport included. Can also change the Inclusive Extra to free EU roaming during the summer when there’s no football to watch anyway!

That plan is £24 pcm now if you got F&F discount on your account plus watch data plan is free.

I rolled back to iPhone All Rounder for £21 pcm with EU Roaming and Watch Data Plan included at no extra cost. Use inclusive extra to get Apple Music.

Use alternative method to watch TNT .

My checkin times are all different, posted about this earlier but one of them has now moved forward, is this normal? Can I collect them all at the 08:15 one?

I pay £25 a month for unlimited everything with free Apple Music. So 15 quid for stellar service, speeds and coverage, seems awesome to me?!

EE, Sky, Vodafone, all a rip off. I’m with Three. 1TB 16PM £81 a month for 2 years unlimited everything (paid £85 up front). The sim plan works out at about £17 ish a month when you add up the total and take the price of the phone off.

But it’s Three though! 😂

Just checked my other number on my account and I can also get the 1TB, unlimited everything for £83 with no upfront cost.

I do feel EE are more of a premium network. So I guess it CAN sometimes reflect in the price.

So I guess it’s just best to shop around.

Been with 3 since forever. I still have the pre-Brexit Go Roam plan, so I can use my data when I visit Europe and America for absolutely no charge.

I expect you can get them all together, yes. Also, are you upgrading from another Watch? I've been looking at the 10 and it seems that there are literally no changes other than the size and shape, is that right? Otherwise, every single piece of functionality will also come to the 9?

 

[Disgruntled_Scot]

To be fair to EE, I’ve never had a problem with them in all the years I’ve been with them.

I’m ‘upgrading’ from the Ultra. The 10 has a slightly bigger screen, screen also goes down to 1hz and is now wide angle. Not as bright as the Ultra but not sure I’ll notice tbh. Also has a better SIP, far thinner and lighter, which I’ll appreciate as I wear my watch in bed for sleep tracking all the time.

Ha, now skint

DHL suck round here too. Also hoping for DPD as the bloke lives just over the road.

The last time I had DPD was when the iPhone X was released… All will be revealed on Thursday!

 

[StefanWolves]

Ring them.

I did. Order was confirmed over the phone but no correspondence since.
