Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Jinjin]

When I’m handing my X back tomorrow presumably I just need to back it up and then wipe it, and remove it from my iCloud account and find my iPhone? Last year I kept my 7+ so could do the nice leisurely set up at home.

iCloud back up or to a computer. What ever your usually do.

They’ll probably walk you through the wiping in store but it’s the erase all content and settings option. Shouldn’t need to do anything else

 

[sparkytechwire]

...yep, same here.

You'll need to upgrade to 12 in order to transfer data automatically, so it may be worth doing in the morning, it's not much different from 11 just faster

 

[jamies90]

Do we think there may be any walk in stock tomorrow morning?

 

[Jinjin]

No they haven't. My order has been upgrade to 8-12 for £5.

It’s more likely they just run out of how many orders they can physically deliver in that timeframe

 

[Jinjin]

Do we think there may be any walk in stock tomorrow morning?

I can image there being Xs stock over the max

 

[AVBeatMan]

Anybody actually upgraded their DPD to deliver when you want? don't think I need it that badly to pay £10 when I know it's coming tomorrow. I properly feel like this as I finish work at 7am tomorrow morning ha

Nah, I’m off all day so can’t wait. Paid enough for the darn thing. Don’t want to pay any more.

 

[The Game 161]

Hope EE Do unlimited data in the future going to join you guys. lol

100GB pretty much is unlimited. Most have ever used on my plan is like 30-35GB of data.

Im hoping so - I'm planning to go to my apple store for around 8 and hope for the best

 

[kevoo_100]

Carphone warehouse still saying delivery 21st if you order today, might go for it and order one. Anyone else ordered from them?

Ordered from them today and it has been dispatched!

 

[omarmohammed]

Is there any actual reason you're doing this? Do you not have WiFi at your house? Just using cellular for the sake of it and aiming to use 10TB of data is pointless. For starters, it drains your battery faster, secondly, it congests the network for other people who actually have the NEED to use it.

Three need to stop offering unlimited if they ever want to fix those ungodly slow speeds some areas are plagued with.

To be honest once 3UK stop offering all u can eat (Which they never will this is the main selling point for 3UK) we move onto Virgin mobile unlimited package for £25.
For battery I haven't notice any difference between WIFI VS Cellular wifi i get around 9 hours usage and Cellular with full signal i get around 8hours and 30 minutes.
the main reason I use this much data is getting my moneys worth each month for £9 is a bargain.

Did you buy it outright?

Fingers crossed you get one! I’m heading into a store at around 6.30 to try.

Dude what the heck? Wow. I’m with Three because I need a lot of data for work. However the most I’ve used in a month is around 60gb and that was because I flew to New York for a week and WiFi hates my phone. You do you but that is crazy!

 

[spinstorm]

My 3 order is being delivered tomorrow so I have a spare 64Gb max from Apple to return tomorrow (or sell)

BEFORE you erase all, you need to deregister your device from iCloud, by removing 'Find my iphone'.
Settings/icloud..

I was thinking I was crazy with my 100gb + usage on three all u can eat some people definitely having a 3UK all u can eat buffet.

Do you have WiFi but just refuse to use it as you want to get your moneys worth on Three? If so, that’s pretty pointless.

I’m glad EE don’t offer unlimited plans. Keeps all those who want to drain the network over on Three, where they can get all the data they want, at a snails pace.

Why not get your moneys worth out of your home internet connection and leave the mobile network free for people who actually NEED to use it?

 

[AVBeatMan]

A. Don't drink, stay healthy for the phone to setup sober.
B: Go bed early (11~12).
C. up by 7am (the start shift).

I hope this helps

So not;
A; As much as possible
B; Just stay up all night
C; Don't need alarm?

Oh I'm worried now!

It's snails speed tonight on three uk 2mb now guessing they only have 10 million customers this is nuts compare to O2 with 25 + million customers with faster speed than 3uk.

 

[sparkytechwire]

No they haven't. My order has been upgrade to 8-12 for £5.

I called two different times on two separate orders. Both staff said the same thing...

Why would DPD make up a rule which they would make money out of?

I'd be happy to be wrong. I tried on the phone and in the app

 

[michael9891]

There’s always one.

Pretty sad having a download goal. Must do lot of illegal downloading. lol

 

[gadget123]

Should I cancel and order from car phone warehouse?
