That pallet was listed as departing China today but actually left last week and arrived in Amsterdam Thursday then took a day to be sorted.

Find the reference number from you shipping email (starts 8xxxxxxxx) and put that in DHL's search by reference.

You should get tracking for your specific phone.

Mine left the DHL hub in Amsterdam on Friday night but hasn't arrived anywhere yet :(
Mine also left Amsterdam! But hasn't arrived anywhere where others have arrived at Heathrow! I'm hoping for some movement today/early afternoon, if we have any hope of getting it tomorrow!
 
UPS Trackers!

Our iPhones left Mumbai at 11am this morning (About 3 hours ago local time) apparently.

According to Flight Status (http://www.csia.in/flightinformation/freight-flight.aspx), there was a scheduled UPS (Flight number 5X 027) flight to Cologne at 1045.

Currently above Iran,we should expect to see an update around 4pm.

If you are up North, I wouldn't expect any movement until tomorrow, as yours will most likely hit East Midlands very early, then out for delivery as per some of the other ones on Friday...

That's comforting to know. I'm really hoping tomorrow is the day, and seeing no movement since Friday isn't exactly satisfying!

I just want the damn slab of metal and glass.

Can't seem to see the plane on any flight tracking sites. The departure times in the tracking lines up with that flight though! Good spot
 
A lot of us had the same earlier in the week. From 27-30th just sat in Zhengzhou

I wonder if the Apple delivery estimate is wrong, mine says it will be delivered tomorrow but I don't think it's even in the country!
 
I might not badly need 256GB but it's nice to have. No longer will I ever need to worry what I put on my device.

I had 40GB left on my 6s plus


I had to try very hard to resist the 256GB model, just out of habit more than anything I think. Back when our maximum choice was 64GB and even 128GB to a degree I suppose, I always got the maximum storage, lots of space for my music and photos.

But with iCloud Photo Library and Apple Music now, even keeping some offline music and all of my apps and miscellaneous junk I've still not quite hit 40GB used. So I used my stupid sensibility brain and opted for 128GB. Oh well, spare cash for AirPods :D (yeah I know, but I've heard worse and truly wireless? I can make space in my collection for the, oohhhh new toy alert syndrome :D)
 
Yeah seems so. Mine was originally due 30th but was still in China that day

Yea, according to my tracking it's not suppose to arrive in Amsterdam from CGO until 14:40 (local) today! so not sure if it will make it in time for me to receive my new iPhone tomorrow.

Yeah I get that, so far after everything from my backup has downloaded I’ve got 173GB of storage left lol but with my 4 night trip to Barcelona I will be taking loads of pictures and videos to try and eat away at that storage ha

There is also a feature on iOS 10 to optimise storage which can limit amount of space used for music and removes music not recently listened to if you phone is low on space.

Well now at least that's something to chip away at all of that free space. Lots and lots of 4K videos :D

Yeah I know about that sort of stuff thanks. funny thing is, even though I'm only using about a third of my storage these days, I've still enabled it. Like I'm actually going to need it when I struggle to hit 40GB for the past year :D

Don't get me wrong, I can see a use case for lots of storage. But that's all personal choice, My documents are in the cloud for the most part or on my Mobilelite. I don't store movies on my phone, I use Plex and Netflix very occasionally.
I tend to put things like that on my mobilelite so we can all share them, or on my iPad if I'm going travelling for a bit, just because it's got the bigger screen obviously.
Actually, neither here nor there but I've just had a thought. My very first TV set of my own when I was a kid was 12" (black and white, oh the deprivation :p) my bloody iPad Pro is bigger than that, kids these days, spoiled so they are :D

Credit to Apple these days though, they do at least seem to be introducing measures to help people with lower storage capacities. Where the hell was all of that when people had 8 or 16GB, or we could only buy at most 32GB. Ah the good old days, I'll be getting all nostalgic :D

Confused myself for a minute there until I realised you must mean December. Never been at that time of year, I expect Barcelona to be pretty special around the festive season.
 
Looks like it has made a little more movement around Heathrow this morning -
