I suggest you re-read my original post. That is not correct what you have stated.
Hi all
For the first time in 6 or so years I’m sticking with my X from last year. After getting used to the handset I’m not gonna be upgrading to the Max as it’s just gonna be too bulky.
I can not justify the money for an incremental upgrade to the camera and battery life.
Judging by their online stock either the demand is not there or they’ve got large availability of the handsets.
All the best to the peeps who will be getting their phones next Friday
I am amazed that the handsets this year even after all these hours on sale have relatively short delivery dates. I can’t remember that ever happening before.
You just frightened the cr*p out of me. This came through as an email to inform me there was an update on this forum topic.Preparing for dispatch
Thing was, all I initially saw in the email was the screen grab you sent and it looked exactly like the one Apple would send.
"WHAT......." I said, "I didn’t order two 512gb models"!!
Nope, loved the silver/white of my 8 plus, and love the silver/white of the Xs Max
Haha I could start a whole new thread on this topic!!
If it’s coming out of China it will b via ups freight. It’s likely to be from Foxconn Shenzhen too. People look for flight schedules for ups flights leaving Shenzhen and make assumptions on the route.
The route you say? That’s another whole thread! I’ve had phones go via Korea, Hong Kong, Almaty, Dubai, Frankfurt and plenty of other places. It’s a bit of guess work on when they leave. Also when they are dispatched, you’ll see ups tracking updates so help decide.
I’m also pretty sure there’s been cases phones out of China for launch have subsequently only tracked once they arrived at syncreon and then passed on to third parties local logistics firms (dpd, ukmail)
Given mines going to store I don’t expect to see any changes ( for the watch) until it’s there.
The IUP upgrade won’t even have a tracking option as it’s not even an ‘order’ on my account.
I’ll be sitting back just watching this year and have the fun to walking into store and coming home with both items at the time of my choosing.
Hi guys, today was my first time that I've ordered a new iPhone for launch day. So excited for my Gold Xs Max 256GB!
Just noticed that my order is 'ready to dispatch' as well. That seems fairly early? Does is happen that the phones get delivered maybe a day or two early or do they definitely hold off until the 21st?

There's no way you get it before Friday. Mine's also preparing for dispatch. No one will have the new iPhone's before Friday. It'll get a bit boring now as we probably won't receive any more updates until "shipped", probably Wednesday?
Close to 0% change with an Apple order.
Last year someone did get their X a day early. It was a cpw order and dpd had it at their depot, the chap tried his luck at the depot the night before it was due to be delivered and they handed it over on the Thursday.
I’ll have a peak through last years thread if I get a chance (or someone else can 
) but pretty sure the X (or maybe the 8) flipped to pdf straight away too

I'm picking up a 256GB XS in October around the XR launch to save more money towards it. Anyone who has owned the X for a while, which is the best colour in terms of wear and tear?
I normally go for Silver and like the look of Space Gray this year but I'll stick to Silver if the SG plating is more likely to flake off.

No, deliver to work in Central London. If I get a PFD on the Max then shipping will be earlier than Oct 1st I think
Have a silver in a case and screen protector and it looks like new. Even the bottom exposed edge looks great. I’m not careless with my phones but not overly careful. Hard to be when you have a 4 year old watching peppa pig on it. Had a few small drops and no problem.
Anyone else have an problem adding their IUP order to the wallet from the link the email confirmation or the Apple store app?
Looks like the link is 503ing

The Forest Green?
So good, but didn't seem to get rolled out across the range. No silicon cases or anything else in Forest, just the two leathers. Think I'd like a leather AW strap in it, for a nice autumny look. Or maybe that burgundy that's on the new Hermes multi colour.
