Waiting on my delivery from Syncreon. In 2016 for my iPhone 7, they turned up at 6pm.

 

[TranceNW]

Mines still showing as at depot

I do think the vans have already left and tracking is delayed. My driver was well in to deliveries before mine was updated.

First observation it it gets pretty warm. Or at least much Warmer than my 4 year old 6

This is pretty much always the case with a brand new phone. I’d guess you’ve been downloading apps and data and setting it all up. Things level out after a day or two.

 

[mpConroe]

It arrived at the DPD depot! Can’t wait!!!

XS Silver 256GB w/ Forrest Green leather case.

Queued for about 1.5hrs in two chunks, with no reservation.

Well my dpd delivery has now changed from delivery today between 6-2200 to Monday 24. Useless but at least as I’d cancelled it last Sunday I’m now less likely to open and keep it

It will be warm as you're setting it up. It'll be doing a load of things in the background. Give it a few days.

Very nice combo mate! I have the 256bg in silver on the way and wanted the FG cover but my girlfriend wanted it more and I obviously didn't want matching cases, so I got a trusty black one instead! I think the silver accents at the bottom of the phone and around the camera are elegant touches to the leather cases.

Oldbury depot. Just says parcel held which I assume is code for lost.

Not on effected post code list

Just got one at 2 as well, finally.

Hope Apple switches to Uk Mail next year or at least give us the option.

Just picked my iPhone XS Max up and… the screen is awful. :’( I’ve got a horribly yellow display which goes very pink with the slightest change in angle.
Not going to be able to take this back to the Apple store until next week as I’m leaving today for a holiday over the weekend.

 

[r1biker]

Still no email confirmation from John Lewis for my watch, which is unusual for them. Hopefully they can fulfil the order.

I'm not so sure UKMail are any better. My delivery is 3-4 and my driver has been at stop 72 since 5am... seems really weird to me.

DPD have already delivered.

 

[L8Craig]

No way could I handle a max as much as I would love the screen. I feel sad to see my 6 go.

Definitely a 2 hand job. I had a 7 plus and sold it a few weeks ago. Got s 6s as a stop gap.

 

[AdamA9]

My driver drove down my street and is now on delivery number 20. Mine is number 108.

I wonder what algorithm the DPD routing software uses to sort deliveries.

 

[WRXiceman]

Just got my 1 hour slot, between 1:28pm - 2:28pm

People that pay for early deliveries are probably prioritised over others so they are delivered in time.

 

[Jinjin]

Knew it. Ended up with the max!

 

[RossMacca]

Never any doubt!

Initial impressions? I'm sitting here looking at my 7+ wondering if the screen is just going to be too big...

Don't know if you've had an OLED before, but they all do the off-axis colour shift to some degree - it's a characteristic of the screen and looks very different to the off-axis appearance of a LCD. re: the yellow, remember (a) it has True Tone and (b) whatever you're comparing it to screen-wise might be too blue. FWIW I noticed both of these to some degree on my X, after about 24h didn't think anything of it and it's not bothered me to this day. If you really can't cope with it that's what the 14-day return window is for.
