Just confirming that if wanting to return & rejoin the same phone on iUP, the phone needs to be unopened and unactivated?

Also do you think they will turn me away from doing that on Fri eve/Sat because the reservations don't open up again until the following Monday?
 
How much data do you guys use my iPhone X turning up to 1 years now shows 2.5TB since last year November 23rd 2017.

I pre-ordered the iPhone Max 64GB Gold at the end of the pre-order day with an in-store pick up.

Cool . Very jealous. I ordered at 08:01 last Friday but delivery to work . It got changed from confirmed to expected Friday yesterday so fingers crossed. I ordered xs max 256gb in space grey as I worried the gold would be like the elusive jet black ha ha. I thought I was playing it safe lol

OK, I've updated the first post FAQs (not that anyone reads them :rolleyes:)

Apple has taken funds buy my order still shows 'preparing for dispatch'?
Pre-orders which are due for launch day delivery will usually see a change of order status to 'dispatched' the day before delivery. Launch day stock is typically sitting at Apple's logistics partner, Syncreon, in Hinkley. The devices are handed over to a local courier (DPD or UKMail) from around the afternoon onwards on the day before. From this point your tracking would become active.

So how will that work if I'm in Belfast??
 
Do you have any idea why the option to pick up from the store is not available around the world (Except for the United States) for nearly four days?
From your past experience, do you think Apple Store will open this option before this Friday?

thanks!
 
seems like all EU orders still doesnt received any shipping mail nor "shipped-status".

I guess the reason is, that all devices are already in EU and will ship tomorrow with express carriers.

I asked another question hello, Do you have sim only contracts with max plan speed he says only on 24 months handset contracts. again WTF

Has anyone seen any video reviews where they have the Space Grey XS/XS Max? I can’t find any, only silver and gold so far. I wanted to see some better videos of the Space Grey in action
Click to expand...
Presumably it'll look just like the X.

I loved the look of the space grey X, but gold is tempting me as it's not flashy and it's rather subtle instead of tacky.

Shame I'll probably be sticking with my 7.

...because black is just black isn't it?! It's not really a colour - its just what's left over when you taken the rest of the colour spectrum away!!!!! :D

Wouldn't that logic apply to any colour of you took all the others away ?

Exactly! The nearest apple shop is an hour away from me, so I'll give it a few days and then see. I'm a runner so I want to try running with it in my flip belt and see if it drags it down, if so then I'll change to the xs. As long as I return it as new I'll be able to exchange won't I?
Click to expand...

I'm a runner, too, and currently carry my 8 Plus in my Flipbelt. I've never been able to get the Flipbelt to stay put, so I end up having to secure it down with 4x safety pins to my shorts!

The 8 Plus is noticeable when I have it on me; not enough to slow me down significantly, but I definitely do not feel as nimble as I normally do without it.

Well they Just lost a customer they need to rethink.
100GB sim only Unlimited min/text should be available to purchase without signing up to a handset contract.
The max plan should be available to sim only to purchase without signing up to a handset contract.

At the end I signed upto O2 60gb package for £30 a month.

not sure about delivered but defo collected one day early, albeit not an apple order but from a 3rd party (CPW in this case)

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2065306/page-364#post-25354170

given Apple doesn't hand over the phones to couriers until Thursday, its will be a minor miracle if they managed to get it into the hands of a customer that same day. if there's going to be a mistake, it will be the Dixons group!

He's lucky it wasn't a toaster or a Magi mix rather than the phone he was expecting.
