Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Apples n' Stone]

I did not pre-order the leather case, but I'm hoping I can get it this Friday, in-store, along with the iPhone X (Space Gray, 256GB) that I have reserved

Fair play mate, local Apple store is closed for major refurbishments so I didn't consider it... Shame! Would have liked to reserve to pickup had I known my 3/11 date would vanish at checkout...

CPW are absolutely terrible.

Definitely nothing to do with them taking too many orders for the stock they were issued with...

People get suckered in every year with suppliers like this. The only supplier that can claim to be 99.99% accurate is direct from Apple

I got the Choetek one delivered on Monday, seems good out the box and read reviews that it works well with the iphone 8 so hoping it will for th X!

Do you think it'll work OK (not expecting lightning quick charging) for use in the car, plugged-in to the lighter socket?

I've got the samsung FAST wireless charger which I have kept since I bought my note 5. It is Qi certified so I'm assuming it will work well with the iphone x? Will it charge it faster though?

Daily ask if anybody's 13-20th delivery date shifted?

In the same boat buddy - still no bump

rumours from EE forums that DPD will be getting units in tonight so could be dispatched tomorrow.

Do you have a link to here please?

From the CPW thread.

My mate asked me to check the order status so he knows whether to look elsewhere and it was surprising.

Ordered on the 27/10 at 7.55am and they have told me it was meant to arrive on 04/11 and now it's the 17/11

Told my mate not to wait for this order and I will cancel it over the weekend if it's not arrived on Saturday as I am not willing to pay interest on £999 for nearly 3 weeks.

My order through Apple will be with me on Friday and I really hope CPW deliver on their promise for everyone here.

CPW update. I ordered a 256Gb Space Grey at 11:50 on 27th from CPW and unfortunately that's a 10th November Delivery now. I've cancelled.

I have a feeling im not going to get on with the narrowness of the X display compared to my plus, I'm a little worried. Need to see how It is in the flesh though

There just giving you the new order dates mate, ring them up and speak to the sales team, they will tell you your fulfillment date.

also I've seen a couple videos now with this problem:

The notch within the notch. I'm calling it Inception Notch.

There will probably be an explosion of this kind of thing. I really hope mine is defect free.

 

[daleski75]

For £999 I expect absolute perfection.

For £999 I expect absolute perfection.

Sadly that won't be the case for many. Just because Apple charged a ridiculous amount for the X doesn't mean they managed to remove manufacturing defects.

Anyone else ordered through Three?

I had a Live Chat with them on Sunday (when they finally changed their expected delivery dates on their website) and was told I was all set for delivery on Friday.

I use the myDPD app so I'm hoping to get that notification come through tomorrow evening.

I had an SMS from them yesterday a generic thanks for upgrading with Three and my new device and SIM would be with me soon etc. I'm actually feeling quite confident about a Friday delivery. A lot of stories in the press etc. about Three's crazy ~£110+ monthly deal has probably put a lot of people off Three.

But in actual fact, Three's deal seems to be decent enough. I had a sales call from EE yesterday (my Apple Watch S3 is from EE) and they were offering me an additional line with 10% off.

I feel like a lot of the networks are justifying their high price deals with ridiculous amounts of data. I have 30GB with Three - I have WiFi at work and at home and I use a lot of data whilst travelling around for work and even then I use at most ~12GB and I consider myself a heavy data user.

I just called EE and they confirmed its being picked now which means it will definitely be here on Friday. I ordered on Sunday morning

from previous comments all of their CS staff seem to offer random information so I wouldn't personally cancel until they miss the planned delivery date.

What was your original estimate?

Original estimate was 10th November. I must be getting someones cancelled order.

Guessing your order tracker isn’t updating yet?

That is still an advancement on your order and I believe the first case we have had in the UK, could bring hope to many!

 

[daleski75]

There maybe a few cancelled orders from CPW bringing forward the delivery time for others as well by Friday/Saturday

 

[n20nine]

Anyone from Vodafone have an update if their orders are being progressed?
