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

[SayCheese]

Slightly off topic, but is anyone else feeling slightly guilty about upgrading? I'm coming from an X to an XS Plus. Upgrading for the screen size mainly as I love that massive display.. Trying to justify it in my head

Yep. Going from 8+ to XS Max. Feel a bit guilty about it. I don't *need* the phone but I want it.

Exactly the same here.. I definitely don't need the phone, only had my X for just over 10 months..

...all you guys collecting phones on the IUP tomorrow - don’t forget to take in utility bills, payslips, passports, birth certificates, mortgage agreements, etc, etc !!!


I’m off to get some sleep..........!

I only upgrade every 2 years, so nope I don’t feel guilty.

I couldn’t do this every year

This is why Three suck for data. Their network is slow as there’s so many people using data.

I’d rather 100GB on EE at 100Mbps+ than unlimited on Three’s 10Mbps network.

 

[w_aldo]

So, following an earlier topic on this thread, what speeds are you all getting on what network?
I'm on O2.

On Three a few weeks ago.

Nope, no sim locking anymore

Is this because of the dual sim capability of the phone? I have wondered about the EE 24 month contract Xs I will be getting if it will be locked (even for just 6 months), if it will then that defeats the dual sim benefits.

I also wondered if I can get the EE sim as the eSim and use a local nano sim whenever I travel to a country not covered by the EE Max roaming plan.

I remember having to buy outright one year as I couldn’t give the right number of years and months being at current house address. And the iup loan provider was my bank

I don’t know why I opted for 6.30–7.30 pickup my school day is going to drag in and culture night is on in Belfast making it X times busier than usual. The things you do in the rush of preorder

 

[gadgets.loco]

Anyone brave enough to camp out tonight is a certified bona fide hard core Apple fan. It is blowing so hard out there and raining really hard.

In Brum as of 11PM, the barriers are not up yet. I saw a couple men by the Apple store main entrance but I could not tell if they are there for launch day.

Good luck everyone tomorrow who will try the walk in route either at Apple or JL!!

Got my tracking number for UKMail around 6pm and it isn’t recognised on the UKMail hub or UKMail site itself!

It’s a joke, I’ve been waiting for something all day. Then all I receive is a dead tracking number

 

[joeob]

HEADS-UP! HEADS-UP! HEADS-UP! HEADS-UP!

I just popped my "UK Mail" tracking number (copied from the o2 website) into the DPD website after UK Mail online and on the phone said they had no trace of the parcel or delivery to my address.

And I now have tracking information. So if o2 says "UK Mail" and you've not heard anything, pop the details into DPD and see if you have any luck.

Its also now just appeared in my DPD app.

EE - this was near one of the main EE offices.

The daft ****ers at O2 said it’s UKMail and the tracking number doesn’t work!
Try it on the DPD site and it works!
It’s less than 20 miles away! Idiots!!

My poor 8+ doesn't know it's about to be traded in and it's breaking my heart.

Try the dpd site. Seems like O2 cant tell the difference between the 2!!

 

[RossMacca]

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa is good to you all.
