Just had notification from DPD to say phone will be delivered between 06:00 and 22:00!! Today but don't hold my breath- so much for 1 hour time slot!.
That must be a mistake. Have you got the app download? Hopefully it can give you more information. In the very least it can tell you where your driver is and how many stops until he reaches you.
 
I have started a new thread for Very customers so we can check who and when we get past the processing status
 
Reservation at Apple Store Lakeside. Everyone with reservations having to queue - no idea how long for. Problems with the iPhone Upgrade Program.
 
Screen protector and case on. Taking no chances lol

Putting on the glass screen protector felt like performing surgery! But I think I managed to avoid dust bubbles!

Love the midnight blue leather case. Goes very nicely with the silver model!

I haven't even turned it on yet haha. That's the next step!

Yes I've got the DPD app and it says exactly the same there too. I guess it's still at the depot in Nottingham well it was at 9:45am anyway

Remember one year when I had a reservation at Lakeside when I got there they didn't have the phone:mad:
 
Can I set my new phone up and then pop my SIM card in afterwards? Or do I need to put the sim in at the start. I usually put my sim in first but I want to keep it in my 6S plus whilst my 7 plus restores from my iCloud backup.
 
The new leather case is definitely better than the 6S one my brother has. The new metal buttons feel like actual buttons and make a satisfying click sound (if you listen carefully). The buttons on the 6S leather case are quite mushy and hard to push in my experience fiddling with my brother's phone. They're alright but this slight tweak to the leather case design is a big improvement.

I don't know the official answer but as far as I can see, the screens of the 6, 6S and 7 are all identical. I actually ordered several iPhone 6 protectors for my 7, purely for this reason!

Unfortunately I don't think that's the case :(
The ear piece is longer so it depends on the screen protector and whether the top part of it is open or if it conforms to design.

Congrats to everyone who managed to get a phone. I hope it's as awesome as we all expect!
Time to pit it against my Galaxy S7 that I'm (irresponsibly) upgrading from. I hope Apple can be at least on par with Samsung's phone in terms of camera quality and battery life. We shall see, we shall see...

Slightly off topic, but I must share my story with you of when my original apple watch arrived a few days after launch day in 2015.

My daughter lives in the US and she kindly bought me (pre-ordered etc) for delivery on launch day, it was delayed by a few days but we were in the US for her wedding that she had in her house. For this wedding she had a red carpet up to the big front door on her house (everything is bigger in the US :)), and left it there for a few days.

Anyway at 9am on the delivery day (I think it was a Wednesday),the UPS man came up the drive, I ran out and met him on the Red Carpet and said is this for me?! He looked at me weird (Brit accent I thought), and said why the red carpet. I didn't really hear him, but pointed at the parcel in his hand and said "It's an Apple Watch!". He gave me the parcel and then asked if i minded holding the parcel on the red carpet while he took a picture for the depot! He genuinely believed that we had got a red carpet and laid it out for the arrival of the watch!!!!

Sorry to bore you all, but I thought i'd share :)
Needed this. Too much talk of delivery times :)

I had the S7 edge for a while but I sold it last weekend. I'm also hopping that the camera will on my 7 plus will at least be on the same level as the edge.
 
Hey guys, jumping a bit late on the waggon after watching the forum for years,

do we all agree that getting an iPhone 7 PLUS [in black or Jet Black, or even any other color] is totally impossible today in London right ?

No walk in stock anywhere ? Carrier Shops / Apple Stores / Department stores ?

How do you all get the live tracking for DPD? All I get is the estimate when I follow the track link on Apple.
I have the app to. Does not let me add anything. Or does not seem to have connected to my address??
