Chatting with an online Apple representative, I appreciate these don't really have access to any extra info than we can see. They claimed that the 13-20 Nov delivery dates won't be brought forward, even though the store lead times have moved etc.
For those after a good SIM only deal, EE have some updated deals on again.
Tempted to go for 22GB for £22 or wait til Black Friday.....

Since everybody is ignoring my posts regarding this I thought I would reach out to you instead. My DPD app isn't showing an option to collect the parcel from a pick up shop..am I missing something? thanksAny time between 0600-2200
Yeah, seen a few reviews saying that was not possible on the X, then saw another video review from an Australian guy and when he did I went “wait whaaaat?” I assume Apple Just put in an extra step because of the swipe to home.
Just spoke on the DPD chat about the upgrade option. They said the sender has disallowed upgrading my delivery. Also for those with a 0600-2200 time slot, you’ll get a better one in the morning
So if my backup is 11.1 and new phone is 11.03, what is the way around this when setting up? Will my X prompt me to update iOS as part of the process or will I have to set up as new then update the software then restore? Sorry if this has been asked.
13-20th now I understand why sailors turned to drink xD

Set up phone as new phone OR plug in and update before activating it - worked for me year on year!
Any time between 0600-2200
It’s definitely iPhone day
and DPD have a sh!*load of phones to deliver. I’m usually 12-1pm on a usual DPD day so I’m expecting early evening. Won’t say no to 6am though!
They can’t have one driver doing that shift surely?
Ukmail do too. You get to track the driver. It tells you they are on parcel x and you are y.
I might go Vodafone. £19 for 16GB plus Spotify subscription so effectively £9pm for me
Actually since iOS 10 if you restore from iCloud backup and the new phone is on a lower iOS it updates the device first and then continues the restore - all as part of the Setup Assistant process
I’m coming from Vodafone, and was happy with them.
But might upgrade to an LTE Watch, so decided I’d only commit for 12 months to a provider that supports it.
I get 20% off either via work, and as I’m an Apple Music subscriber the Spotify or now tv wasn’t really worth anything. BT sport is a bonus.
I just got confirmation email from Three. Ordered at 27/10/2017 at 08:40 am.

The cynic in me says Apple deliberately overestimates shipping dates to make it seem like the phone is so highly in demand and build anticipation. I know the end goal is to sell as many phones as quickly as possible, but if they know they're not going to meet the demand for at least 3 weeks, why not tell people 5, make everyone say, "Oh my god, look how popular this phone is!" and then change it a few days later.
Yep, my phone was collected from Syncreon in Hinckley (birmingham, midlands), and taken to Ryton (about as far north as you can get).
Tomorrow, they will being it back down south, past birmingham, and to me in Portsmouth.
Total distance, assuming straight line driving 547 miles.
Actual distance between Hinckley and Portsmouth that could have been made 152 miles!
I think UK mail need some clues about directions, and optimising their efficiencies !!!
If it makes you feel any better, I pre-ordered an iPhone 5 with Three a few years back and received absolutely no communication from them and it still turned up on release day. My confirmation email and dispatch notice actually arrived in my inbox an hour after the phone had been delivered!
I don't remember needing any proof of previous addresses and I'd only just moved house when I signed up last year - besides, previous addresses will be on your credit file when Barclays run their checks
Hi, no I had that option as soon as my delivery was showing in the app. Have you tried looking on the DPD website instead, by clicking the link from Apple.com or your email?
