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

Got my collection from Meadowhall store tomorrow at 8pm. There's definitely something about a launch day collection, rather than just waiting for DPD to arrive. At least I'm not going to queue overnight like the iPhone 6 launch day, lol!

Ah those were the days. Standing in the cold and wet streets of Glasgow waiting on the store staff to come round about 7am ish with a box of tickets for available models. One year they ran out just before they got to me. Totally gutted.

I just contacted EE as i’ve had nothing since the xko number/ calling to confirm order.

They said order is placed and just need to be patient. Should get a DPD notification soon.

And on that note, DPD notification just received!

Same here. No sign of any change beyond processing for 16pm

Ordered at 1310 .. I was ready before 1300 but couldn’t get in annoyingly!

Snap. No change on that phone as yet. Other is tomorrow via dhl.

Yeah just from all the past upgrades they wipe the old phone before allowing the new one to be setup. I guess I’ll ask before it happens!

Don’t ask, tell; they are shop assistants!

My trade in kit from apple has just shipped. The iPhone can't be too far behind

So for store pick up, you can’t do a phone to phone transfer if you’re trading in your old phone?

They arrive in the evening. 18:26 last year

My trade in kit from apples has just shipped. The iPhone can't be too far behind

I was hoping to do a trade-in at the store when I pick my phone up

Carphone warehouses are jokers!! Ain't touching them again

Bought the 16 pro max outright, 256gb gold colour whatever it's called, yesterday on the 18th September as it started 20 September delivery. Got confirmation email which also stated 20 September while confirming the order went through. An hour later a follow up email states 17 October. Pissed, but I should have known.

Today, the 19th I called to complain. As I'm complaining the site still states 20 September delivery date as of 9am while customer service is apologising and telling me it'll be 17th October

They've just now as of 9:30am on the 19th September, the day before iPhone 16 is released, decided to changed their site after I complained to 17 October!

They'll now hold my money hostage for 5 working days. Annoying pillocks.

Why would anyone not just buy from Apple?

Of course you can. They don’t care. Just tell them that’s what you are doing!

Anyone going with O2 got their DPD texts yet?

 

[CocoPops]

Woop!
Just had UPS tracking from Apple for tomorrow.

 

[MThrn]

Anyone with a 25-30th Sep delivery date got any notifications today?

 

[tr43z0r]

UPS club here

 

[RossMc]

Anyone going with O2 got their DPD texts yet?

I’ve had nothing from O2 just still says processing in MyO2

 

[ScrumpyDaniel]

You not taking part this year?

No, No need to upgrade from my 15 PM to the 16 PM. I usually go on 2-3 yearly cycles for my iPhone's. Last year I went from the 12P to the 15 PM.

 

[AVBeatMan]

Completed the order at 13:01 last week direct from apple, still showing as Preparing for Despatch.

Ditto. Same as me.

None. Any lens protector you use will degrade, even if slightly, the quality of your pics. The glass on the lens are the strongest possible - they don't really get scratched...

They’re also a nightmare to remove.
