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

The Buchanan Street store are pretty close to useless. Spent 45 minutes with them trying to process an IUP upgrade to tell me that they're having a system issue and would I mind popping back later.

I appreciate that it's a launch day and things happen but that store really is hitting the skids with their customer experience.

Can someone help me with the maths on my 256GB 8+ iUP?

I’ve made 11 payments (12th about to come out).

I’ve got £565 locked in at a Music Magpie and I’m trying to work out what will be outstanding to Barclays if I cancel Applecare +?

Just gone and picked mine up. It’s basically the most beautiful phone I’ve ever seen.

Liverpool One Apple Store? If so, did you happen to notice if they have any Watch stock?

 

[BMcCoy]

Ho hum...

May as well go outside and do some gardening...

I usually achieve 45-50mbps in and around the Edinburgh and Glasgow areas. It’s very slow today at only 4mbps but that’s certainly is not typical, maybe they are having tech issues today.

That lad who was posting last night is probably in that area today haha

 

[mpConroe]

Hmm my phone arrived at the DPD depot at 7:51 this morning... and then it just arrived there again at 11:28

Same.

10:16 and 12:14

I never realised how crappy my speeds are. I not a fan of contracts so a giff gaff gal. It might be time to change.

Those speeds aren't necessarily bad...granted that nowadays you can achieve download speeds of 100mbps DL on mobile. But it all depends on your area, positioning of mast, backhaul to the mast (whether its fibre or microwave etc) and capacity. To put in perspective my home broadband is 5mbps DL max & 1mbps UL (still waiting for Openreach to sort FTTP lol). Source - I work for a mobile network.

Other thing to note; GiffGaff have the lowest network priority. Ie if an area is very busy - O2 Customers will have best Service, then Tesco Mobile and then GiffGaff..

Popped into my Three store to see if they had any news on my XS Max 256 SG which was due to be picked up today. Very annoyingly they said that it definitely wouldn't be there today, and that it could be anywhere up to 5 Oct before it arrived. Crazy!

So.....I popped down the road to the Apple Store and bought an XS Max 256 SG on my card, and will return it when Three pull their fingers out and my phone arrives Plenty of stock in the Apple Store in Bath if anyone is interested in just turning up!

That’s naughty.

 

[steggerwoof]

Argh so close

 

[Jinjin]

Ah, so you kept your existing iUP phone and started a new one?

Yup. Will settle the old one myself by selling my X to music magpie

 

[Sophie_emma]

That’s naughty.

That 3 for you own rules own speeds own customer service.
Once I had a three store staff shouting at the three uk customer service over a messed up contract price plan it was funny to be honest the store staff cannot understand the customer service on the phone he said this is wasting my time. (That was in Leeds branch last year) ahahaah

 

[Diorama]

FINALLY got a slot and it’s on the van. 15:20-16:20

 

[Kiimora]

Team 24th-1st pre-ordered outright from Apple, still processing; don’t give up we‘re nearly there

 

[Sophie_emma]

That lad who was posting last night is probably in that area today haha

Disagree. They're awesome with me. IUP issues are usually Barclay's doing - not Apple's.

600gb when he could just use Wifi!! He just wants to get his money's worth!!

 

[Baal]

Knew it. Ended up with the max!

Like there was ever any doubt!

 

[Monko]

Mine has literally driven past the end of my road three times now! Still 2 hours to go until he gets to me.

 

[LPK1990]

I just got a text from UK Mail saying the driver has had an unexpected delay. Now I'm getting nervous.

 

[SteveHFC]

with 10% discount?

Yes my good friend.

Just waiting for it to arrive now

 

[njek]

Seems like a misuse of the returns policy. Why not just wait?

Because I have to sell my 7 Plus tomorrow...otherwise I'd have waited no problem. Set up the sale once Three had 'guaranteed' a launch day pickup

Well there always people like take advantage of everything just like all u can eat buffets eating bloody everything and Gym memberships using it five times a days etc.
Human nature I guess.

Are you going to cancel AppleCare before or after you’ve sent it in?

You’re gunna be sick of answering my questions before this iphone period ends
