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

[Alex797]

UK Mail has finally updated their tracking system and my new iPhone is in their Glasgow Depot just 12 miles away. Here’s hoping my new iPhone doesn’t go on a mystery tour of Glasgow and surrounding areas before it gets delivered?!

 

[Brad9753]

Mine’s out for delivery now, although the UKMail site doesn’t seem to have love updates like DPD do. Oh well, sit and wait.

what do do you use to get the live updates then? I havnt had an update since 1am ish

 

[w_aldo]

Mine finally arrived at my local UKMail depot at 3:47am! The depot is pretty close to me so hopefully I’ll be early on the delivery list!

I don’t have live updates, I clicked the link in the text and it took me to their site - all it says is “Out for delivery”.

Maybe I’ll get a text shortly with a delivery slot? Who knows!?

It should tell you how many stops away he is.

Has anyone’s shipped that has a 25th - 2nd October estimated delivery window directly from Apple?

 

[Uglybloke]

Hmm - if it does, buggered if I can find it on the UKMail site!

I'll be off for the annual pilgrimage to the Southampton Apple Store first thing to pick up my 2 x XS Max.

Enjoy your new phones everyone

 

[Jinjin]

On their email it only says you need photo ID?

I hope that’s right!!

Agreed! I miss the hype this year

That’s right. Think Dino was being a little sarcy

Mine hasn’t even shipped and I’m 24th 1st window! Hopefully they catch up over the weekend and start moving.

Same. Mine just got scanned in at Cambuslang. Having to go into town at 11am. Have a bad feeling I’m going to miss my delivery today! Argh

 

[Manda]

Mines with royal tracked 24 and I am at work today was expecting very delivery earliest Saturday. So it say in transit so I am hoping the delivery office is open to collect over weekend.

Mine hasn't moved give it until tomorrow then I cancel and order from carphone warehouse.

 

[Zari]

My phone is at the local DPD Depot which is only 7 miles away

All I pray for is that Barry my usual driver isn't off today, so I stand a good chance of getting my phone on his first drop between 8:30 - 9am!

Damn! Thought they would have shipped by now, guess they won’t dispatch until today ready for Monday. Which means mine probably won’t ship til Monday. The excitement is too much, I want it already!

 

[gadgets.loco]

My DPD status as of 6:57

 

[Apple fanboy]

Off to work. Will be at least 12-13 hours before I'm home. Mrs AFB will be home to receive. Enjoy your new iPhones!

 

[CocoPops]

Out for delivery with ukmail at 657... no eta or slot details yet...

 

[Uglybloke]

Ooh, just got a text from UKMail - delivery slot of 10:47 - 11:47 confirmed

 

[SayCheese]

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

I'm justifying it that because I'm going from iup to an O2 contract and I've a friend who works for O2 that gets me 50% off the airtime part it actually works out £3 a month cheaper than Im currently paying

 

[Apple fanboy]

Hmm - if it does, buggered if I can find it on the UKMail site!

Not with UK mail. He'll just turn up eventually!

 

[BMcCoy]

....no you don’t.

The Erase All Content And Settings does all that - it erases ALL accounts on the device and ALL settings.

In every upgrade I have done on every iPhone, not once have I ‘deregistered the device from icloud’, as you put it - it’s simply not required.

Oh.
In that case, could you let Apple know so they can update their support pages.
Cheers!

 

[hannahjayne]

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

Yes. Even when I went to bed last night I was undecided. In the end it’s come down to that I’ll probably decide in the next ten months I need a new one (battery on my X is already terrible) and I’m on the iUP so I may as well.
