iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

[nathan3007]

Enjoy your phone buddy. I know they have been telling you different stories.

Just spoke to there online chat and apparently they haven't sent ANY iPhone 7 Pluses out to customers and won't be getting any before the 7th of October lol.

And refunds take 3 to 5 days, but it takes them 10 seconds to take it from my account lol!

The refund is standard banking procedure, or so I'm told, I was in my local CPW the other day to return a zagg screen protector (ordered it online and they stated it was a 7plus but it was a 6/6s plus that they sent me, idiots) the guy when I returned it said it would fit even though I know it won't, and someone came in and asked about the iPhone 7 and they guy brought a plus and normal matte black phone for him to look at, so they have them to show people, just not to sell.

By the way the camera on iPhone 7 plus is amazing, zoom function fantastic, really pleased with it so far. Battery good too.

The battery life on mine is amazing, getting two days use out of 100% isn't too hard! So much better than my 6s

Anyone got a 7-13 Oct window? I spoke to an Apple rep today, (very nice lady) and she said: "you will probably get it around the end of September". I asked her if it was the norm for people to get their orders a week early, but she said she wouldn't promise anything.

The 7+'s are like rocking horse ****, lol.

Mines ****ing broken! Lol

Lasted less than 24 hours.

Ahh, weird. This morning as of 07:00 Sept 23 I was seeing: Pearson International (Airport, Toronto) Awaiting Release. Now I'm seeing: FLT DLAY MEC Korea 01:19 Sept 24. Argh! The Pearson message is probably the same as the Louisville messages I've been relaying to you US guys. It's clearing the package ahead of arrival, I don't think it means it's on the way or in that location at all!

Apple just gave me an extra week in which to return my silver 7+ as the wait on the black ones is until 12-18th October. I'm very impressed, they were well within their rights to hold me to the 14days but I have until October 7th now

Lots of US stories about phones bouncing back and forth to the Far East... sounds like shipping info problems!!

Well that's was odd the payment was attempted to be put through but was declined as I expected so I re-authorised the card and checked the payment details & they look ok. But the phone is still stuck at processing.

 

[Nekomichi]

Cheers !

I've done the tests and posted the results here. The iPhone 7 will charge from an iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case, but the iPhone 6 won't accept a charge from the iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case. I'm not sure if it's because the iPhone 6 was running iOS 9.3.3 and the case required iOS 10, or it just outright rejects it.

It takes a while for your status to update. Mine went to PFD a couple of hours after my card was authorised.

When did you order and what is your estimated delivery date?

How long was you in the processing period for? Mine has now been in the processing stage for 9 days.

Not long as my card was charged on pre-order day and later on that night it went to PFD. My delivery date was for launch day.

My 128 Plus Jet Black was confirmed at 08:08 and is still processing-it sounds like the black 4-10 Oct orders are moving faster than JB.

Yup. Think I've only read 1 x jb 256 and 1 x jb 128 which have moved off processing and were due 4-10th..

Very similar situation here:

iPhone 7+ Black 128GB
Ordered 9th September
Confirmation email received 12:11
Promised delivery 4th - 10th October

Credit card charge 'pending'. Now preparing for dispatch.

Anyone know how long these things stay at preparing for dispatch?

So I've set mine up and restored from backup.

This thing is beautiful! I use all my phones without cases (I have AppleCare+) so I can really appreciate it.

My initial impressions:

Home button - felt weird the first couple of times, but I much prefer it now.

Speakers - wow, these things are loud and clear!

Camera - Haven't had much of a chance to test it out yet, but I am going on a walk with my partner tomorrow towards Basingstoke way, so will test the camera out then.

Will update further when I've had more use out of it. Let's just say, I love this thing!!!

I've also decided that I am going to keep the 256GB.

To everyone still waiting, hang in there. It's worth it!

 

[Weems213]

Awesome - checked my order (Black+ 128) after seeing the above posts and it went from processing to PFD before my very eyes!

0853 confirmation email and original shipping of 4-10 Oct

Yes, this backs up my theory on the slower production of JB Plus-my email was 08:08 and it's still 'processing'

 

[SteveHFC]

So who's gonna be on Apple's website at 10pm again.

 

[super chimp]

[jamesjnr2]

No black ip7+s in Europe unlikely that we will get any here

Want the 7 plus but i'm getting a bit fed up of waiting. So i'm tempted just to stick to the smaller version for now and get the new one in the plus next year.

Youll have regrets, always follow your first choice.

I did same when 6 came out. Later i regretted getting a 6 and wanted 6+. Inwas willing to drive down to chester to swap it with someone on gumtree but backed out due to the risk of it blocking. When 6s+ came out i got it in store on launch. So this time went for 7+ and no regrets

Order status changed to Preparing for Dispatch for my iPhone 7 Plus earlier today from Apple, shouldnt take long now
