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

[Diorama]

Might just be the tracking not updating.

Yeah I’m hoping it’s just that their tracking/notification system is overwhelmed with iPhone/watch stuff

 

[StuMcBill]

I'm picking mine up at the Apple Store between 16:30 and 17:00 - I'm kinda glad to not have the "Courier Anxiety"

Depends where you are I think, Three have been getting a hammering on here for slow data rates in city centres / anywhere there are a lot of people contending for the network. Have you used them before / know anyone else nearby who has and can tell you how they've found it?

Nope I have not used 3uk Before my first contract with them they offer me a nice cheap AYCE package online so i signed up with them.
i do have a 40gb EE Sim contract without any speed issues.

In London I do travel to Manchester on meetings I might just cancel not paying for 24 months for 0.03mb speeds
Will be reordering on EE 3uk network word of warning avoid cancel asap.

Just to let you know Im on three and have just run fast.com and getting around 40mbps speeds

Yeah fingers crossed, DPD are normally pretty reliable as we use them at our offices for all our product delivers

I'd be carrying on with EE then if I were you.

That’s good, I normally only get 6mbps speeds on Three

 

[Sarah Jones 799]

They lost mine too, Apple had to replace it

Something fishy with DPD at Christmas time they have been amazing yet again but the festival season with temp staff

Hello, Guys need help I just received my iPhone XS 64GB online from 3UK this morning @ 9am.
Phoned setup been doing some speedtest only getting 0.03mb is this normal.
I do have 14 days cooling period to cancel and move to EE what should I do.

Cancel that getting 0.07mb here in Manchester city centre.
Horrible atleast oversubscribed the service.

 

[paddyi]

SE London UK Mail. Delivery was expected at my office 9.45-10.45am but actually turned up at 9am. Thankfully a neighbour was in to accept it for me

Will be phoning to cancel now going to upgrade my sim only EE contract to a iPhone XS contract tonight the 3UK service is a joke to be honest no wonder why they are cheap.
Anyone with three uk make sure you test your speeds at work at home.

Anywhere in London that still has stock?

Bromley had a bit. Changed my Xs to a max no issues. People were doing walk ups and getting stock

Man, what’s with DPD today. I still don’t have a slot, according to the tracker it’s not even on the van yet, still at the depot up the road.

 

[Jinjin]

Lol, you might regret it after the honeymoon period is over. I think it’s just too big. I much prefer the XS size, but anyways enjoy!!!

Have two weeks to change my mind!

 

[LPK1990]

Showing perfect signal no issues funny things is at my place 0.03mb 9.20am.
Went out to town at 10.30am speeds 1mb at most upload speeds at 5mb.
It's slow around here.

Three has always felt like a bit of a lottery when it comes to how well it works. Unfortunately, it sounds like you might be in the group of people who are in an area where it just doesn't work very well.

Might be worth going to EE, otherwise you're going to have a phone which you can only use properly when connected to wifi.

 

[Quinmartins17]

lol, 6mb amazing I get 40mb+ with EE on three now 0.04mb still waiting on the phone on hold to cancel 14 minutes.

 

[keiranmussell]

Anyone order via Argos? Wish I’d listened to the warning now

I did for my watch. Only got tracking info at 09:44 and that was to tell me it’s in Gateshead I’m in Crawley. Won’t be seeing that today.

 

[Jinjin]

So @Jinjin and @Azzin

I may have accidentally bought a XS MAX from John Lewis

Gonna forget the Apple reservation I think.

Go big or go home

Good man. Did the same!

 

[w_aldo]

I must be lucky to live in an area where Three speeds aren't half bad. I Regularly get 50+ download in my local town.

That what I doing now using my 14 days cooling period to cancel back to EE for speeds not paying for a phone only to use WIFI only.
I might aswell pay an extra £20 on EE for better speed and signal.

Imagine my surprise!

 

[CD3660]

Collected my Max from the Arndale store. Love the size!

Me too, it’s perfect!

 

[w_aldo]

Over half way now.

 

[CC117]

My map disappeared on UKMail website

Now I don’t know what stop my driver is at

 

[Ozanne]

Talking of Brighton, I'm waiting for a DPD delivery to Brighton - and the package is still at the DPD depot in Burgess Hill and not yet out for delivery. Grrr!

Seems to be a bit of that today, don’t lose hope it’ll move soon enough!

 

[Dino F]

Got my XS in Space Grey! Now going in for a 40mm S4 Watch!!!

....actually, have decided to wait until I order one online as in store, they only do Barclays Finance at 14.9% whereas online, with PayPal Credit, its much cheaper. I don’t mind having to wait until next month...

 

[Jinjin]

Goodies collected! All really painless, no issues not doing the IUP upgrade and starting a new one. No issues changing my reserved Xs to a Max. No issues swapping my ordered case to its larger size. This is why I’ll always buy direct!

Time to pay off the old IUP and cancel AppleCare. But firstly I need a coffee and to do some work!!

Will unbox later
