Currently on Apple support chat, wish I wasn't running any damn beta's on iPhone this is tricky stuff...

Phew. If you get the chance to take a photo of the screen protector that’d be good. I might get one if they’re discreet - my preferred case doesn’t seem to have lip protection which isn’t great
Sorry cant get a pic but basically the belkin glass which is what I have £29 one from Apple fitted by machine, it is the whole usable display screen size so right up to the black bezel, much better fit than the 7's were basically its safe!
[doublepost=1509814905][/doublepost]"We still need to wait for the 11.2

The issue we have right now, is that 11.2 beta is still ahead of our offical capacity iPhone IOS version right now. There’s nothing to revert the iPhone 7 to until that update comes out. It’s being finished right now so we can release it and resolve this issue"

Great so my x will have to sit in its box until that happens...
 
I've just checked with my bank and despite me requesting that they change my address they haven't...so the bank account that I tried to use to setup the iUP this morning still had my old address, which wasn't the one I gave. Would this likely be the reason? Argh so annoying but might explain why. Could possible retry once address is changed?

I would say that wouldn’t have helped. Just be careful with hard searches on your file. They do more harm than people realise.
 
Just to add another case of failed IUP check...
Experian score 999/999, same address for 4 years, steady decent income, mortgage and a couple of credits always paid on time. Can’t really understand why it was rejected, ended up just buying outright. Strange process...
 
No :( I keep checking hourly. Feels like the people in the 13-20 slot has got a bad deal when the 4-6 weeks wait time has been reduced to 3-4 on the website but our date hasn’t moved
Agreed. I don’t see how it can be another week before delivery, having such a gap between seems odd, especially as there must be stock coming over for shops and 3rd party retailers. JL are expecting some on 10 Nov, so presuming all stock goes to Hinckley to be distributed then surely it should be soon!!
 
Also, have people who cancelled their Argos order had their money back yet? Specifically, people who paid with card.

It will 99% come before the 13th. I reckon early next week. Well probably get updates tomorrow evening and they’ll probably arrive Wednesday or Thursday. Apple will never let their deliveries be late.
 
I ordered from John Lewis with a delivery date of Monday 6th.

Can’t manage to track it yet, anyone have history ordering with John Lewis? Do they usually deliver when they say they will?
You and me are in the same boat.
If you go to Customer Service link there should be a track order page, just enter the order number, your last name and the billing post code and you should see that it is still "Processing".
Hope that helps.

EDIT: If I see movement on my order tomorrow I'll be sure to @ you so you can see if yours displays any sign of life.

Damn... Personally for me thats a disaster - I'm away weds/thurs haha.
 
Right, I see this thread has died right down now so it’s time for me to say my goodbyes for another year!


@Cutiekitty92 @Jinjin @judethat and any other people who are on here every year. Shame that @Azzin was missing from the X fun this year being all sensible with an iPhone 8!!

Good health and hope to see you all again for another roller coaster next year!!

One of the few events of the year where perfectly rational human beings turn into nervous wrecks, acting like spoilt little kids. It’s great fun :D

That’s just a guess depending on whether it ships tomorrow or not. I’m just 99% sure is in the 13 To 20 batch will get them from Monday to Friday next week.
 
Is it possible to be in love with a phone, because I’m in love with this thing. It’s incredibly stunning. Best ever purchase I’d say.
Yes. I need to 'love' my phone. I had a Samsung Galaxy S8 and really didn't love it. I sold it on and I have a Pixel 2 now and absolutely love it! It's great if you get a phone you can feel so positive about, no matter what make or model it is.
 
Also, have people who cancelled their Argos order had their money back yet? Specifically, people who paid with card.

They said 5-7 working days for money to go back into your account. You will get a refund email sometime next week they told me.

Just set it up as a new phone, install the public beta profile, install 11.2, then reset all content and settings, and then you'll be able to restore? Or am I missing something?

For anyone near Manchester..... I returned today an unopened Silver 256GB X to Trafford Centre Apple Store (ordered one for a family member who doesn't want now). Guy said it should show as stock again tomorrow for purchase (assume will therefore be available to collect).

He also said they had about 1,000 units in yesterday but all sold out. He thought this would be all the stock they received for the next few days.

Fantastic!

With it being Sunday tomorrow I’m not sure if we’ll see movement.

Took Monday off work (obviously) to hopefully it comes!
