I’ve just came back from the Apple Store after replacing my iPhone XS Max because of its pink screen hue issue and this one is much better! It still has a bit of a yellow tint but there’s almost no colour shift so I’m happy with it! :)
Was painless overall and they had replacement stock set aside, but an odd thing was that I had to re-do the iUP process completely.
I also got a chance to check out the iPhone XS size and I can’t believe I was used to how small that thing is. The Max is so much better IMO!

Ditto on the redoing IUP on an exchange. Will call up Barclays tomorrow and cancel my old X IUP and check the rest is ok

Really happy with my Max so far.
Been switching between IOS and Android for the last 18 months, but definitely sticking with IOS now!
Last iPhone was the 7+ so quite a big jump. Was worried about Face ID but now so impressed with how quick and slick it is. Not really found I have to consciously look at it either to unlock.
Biggest plus for me though is the change in IOS12 that plugs password managers into apps and sites properly. This was the one thing I really liked about Android, so great to have it in IOS.
With Face ID, very slick as well.

Mine does seem to have the slightly warm/yellow tint being mentioned, but changed the display settings under Accessibility which sorted that.

P.S got mine from Argos who seem to have good stock for delivery. If you have a store card for them, 6 mths 0% as well

Can’t justify a new iPad this year, got a 10.5” Pro last year.. I’m hoping for some AirPods and the fabled AirPower ( by some minor miracle) to materialise

People in the 28th September - 1st October cohort appear to have been shipped already.

I’ll assume mine has been shipped and will arrive tomorrow, but I’d normally see a text from DPD. Sadly I can’t seem to find it on DPD

Hopefully, hard to assume without a dispatch confirmation...

You should ‘ve received a dpd text by now if they’re delivering tomorrow

I’ll resign myself to it not being delivered tomorrow. It’s just really frustrating seeing orders for the later cohort being delivered tomorrow.

I’d be a bit disappointed if it didn’t arrive tomorrow. Especially with the later dates being dispatched and arriving tomorrow.
Where have you seen others with later dates receiving dispatch confirmation?

I'm still Preparing for Dispatch as well, would love for it to be delivered tomorrow. Still showing 24 Sept - 1 Oct.
Same here. :(
