Fnac France have a crazy deal on their vouchers. I ordered my 12 from there again. Saved €135. I’ll return the Apple order, Fnac says it will arrive the 23rd but we shall see.
135€ off wow. The best deal I have seen was the 50€ off on Sosh (Orange) website for all iPhone 12 models.
 
I think our iPhone might be in Europe since oct 10. I found this cargo that flight for the first time on October 10, and it’s origin is Zhengzhou where the iPhones are manufactured. :)

That’s only a guess :) the iPhones were sent somewhere else after that like in apple’s warehouse in the Netherlands or something like that

finding the planes was cool! I looked for incoming flights to liege but I checked on a day where it didn’t fly haha. Also others mentioned that last year they came from the Netherlands so it adds up...

Are they still manufactured in china though ? I know some new AirPods Pro were made in Vietnam and there was rumors of production shifting to India as well IIRC. So maybe new iPhones won't be made in Zhengzhou (?)
 
Still "preparing to ship". I assume Apple will move the status to "shipped" once the shipment has hit European soil, aka European hub. So I expect that sometime today. If we do a retro-counting, it needs to be in the destination country by tomorrow at the latest...

Usually they change the status to shipped when the phones leaves the local warehouse, basically when they give them to the final delivery company. This will probably happen tomorrow because if they do that today some phones could be delivered tomorrow and is exactly what they don't want to happen

Yeah! It was crazy. I saw the Sosh one after I’d pre-ordered from Apple but the €50 wasn’t enough for me to bother changing it all. €135 is though lol

Ah ... congrats! So that is not directly from Apple but from a carrier, right? Let me guess - Telekom it is. ;-)

So you will have your phone on Friday, hurraay.

I ordered from Apple and it still says it will be prepared. But my credit card was charged. So I still hope I will get my goldie in time.

So i hope for our local saturn and cancel my order at apple
 
Apple still says Friday, but sign of shipping yet. I heard in Europe they will delivered from Prague. That should work overnight... only that Czech is in lockdown again. I really hope that won't affect the shipment date. :oops:

It shouldn’t. Received my 20W charger as scheduled on the 20th, that also came from Prague.
