Same issue here... due to company is located in Czech Republic, I cannot buy iPhone in Germany, or I can but it is very complicated due to VAT.
My only issue with the estimated delivery is that there is a high chance I will be traveling with my job during that time and my iPhone 4s is reaaaaaly old and barely works. PLus the battery is dying...
I had to buy a new phone.... otherwise I would have waited for the next year's iphone.... for sure that will be super cool if the rumours are true.
Either way I also ordered an Apple watch series 2 sports.... maybe my order also stays waiting for the watch too...
I still can cancel it but screw this. I will have patience.
Anyway next year will have better HW... and the year after even better....
I will try to replace the HW every 3 years.... I think it's an OK cycle.
Within 3 years I will see how Apple will drive the HW and SW.... gives me time to switch or stop wasting money.
Sometimes these guys in US I don't think they understand the cost for us in terms of HW.
Not only we pay a lot more than them, but our income is not even close to theirs....
Patience.... here in EE - at least we buy our stuff with our hearts and not our wallets
