Looks like we will be on the same flight but mine got there much quicker. Are these being held in korea until they have a plane full?

Ah yes, looks that way! Have you got a delivery date yet? I guess we'll get movement when it's full, just hoping it's soon!
 
For the people who originally had a delivery date of tomorrow and had their phone stuck in Korea. Does anyones still say 'In transit: On time' and shows a delivery date of tomorrow still? Mine still states that its in Korea with UPS but they're saying its on time?

Managed to swap my 7 plus over to the IUP today in the Covent Garden Store, must say it was a very easy process, even in such a busy store! I'm not quite sure why Apple Online initially tried to tell me that I couldn't do it. Anyway all sorted now, phone is currently restoring from iCloud. My Aspinal leather sleeve case is on its way, but i'm currently enjoying the phone without any protection, laid bare as it was intended. As for my best skins ever, I'm not sure I'm going to install them as I think they may detract from the glossy feel of the phone!

Ah 1st work dilemmas!

What's the Aspinal sleeve like? I'm always on the look out for nice leather. Do you have a link?
 
Got my 7+ Matte black, I was rejected from IUP so I asked my dad to get it for me from IUP. Saw one available in Leeds, Trinity today and snapped it up. SUCCESS. Finally, after weeks of patience. Peace out guys, good luck on you guys who are still waiting... I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Got a Plus MB 128 from Leeds Trinity today too, mines doing the hissing thing...

Still says in transit but our delivery date has now disappeared.
 
god damnit i wish these things would leave ZhengZhou ;0 - i keep refreshing the DHL AND UPS tracking pages -
Will it show as departed China or just update when it arrives in Amsterdam? Also if the DHL plane arrrives there on time i.e. 8pm local time tomorrow is there any chance of delivery on Thursday?

Sorry I meant 6pm tomorrow in Amsterdam
 
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the tracking.

I've been lurking reading this forum for a couple of weeks waiting for a 7 jet black with an October 4th - 10th estimation. The tracking said it was still in Amsterdam today so I phoned apple tonight and the lady told me they're having issues with the tracking and that my phone was in a batch that was on a flight to Manchester tonight. She then told me matter of fact that it would be delivered by end of the week, but definitely not by tomorrow as that wasn't possible.

Guess what? I got off the phone and an hour later at half 7 at night DHL turned up with it.

This hasn't been the normal experience with Apple, the whole thing feels like a mess compared to previous years but at least the jet black is worth the wait, its gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing your experience. This whole launch does seem somewhat chaotic. Glad you have your phone and I hope mine arrives soon too

Usually I'm gone for dust soon as it arrives, haha. But after the frustration trying to understand the tracking and actually being told matter of fact by Apppe that it wasn't even in the Uk yet an hour before it arrived, thought it was definitely worth a mention!

Good luck with getting yours soon anyway!

Having been lucky enough to get an iPhone 7plus 128gb in black from Highcross Leicester today via the online booking I will enjoying not having to check the web at 6am tomorrow! The phone is great and worth the effort!! Good luck if you are still trying to reserve one! I feel your pain!

How loud/annoying is it and when does it occur?
If you stick your ear next to the Apple logo on the back of the phone i can hear it, it's not really audible otherwise.

It is picked up on quiet video however. Mines been updating, restoring and syncing for the last few hours so it's been put under high loads.

Mine has been stuck in Korea since the 3rd like yours - just checked now and it still says on time for delivery on Wednesday 5th

You going to stick with it or try and get it swapped?
 
Can report no hissing, no defects on the finish and all restored from encrypted back up with no problems.

Is there no low level hum or white noise in the recording when you record a video in a quiet/silent room. I am having this with my 7+ and am trying to understand if it is common on all of them or only some. My return window ends today, and I am truly torn as to what to do....

Can't say I've noticed. I'll try that scenario out but in my usual usage pattern so far I've not noticed anything.

Bear in mind I've not even had it 24 hrs yet
 
Noooo mine hasn't :(:(

Sorry about that, it could still go out with the same batch but just not have been scanned yet. UPS have had my phone for 7 days so far and I've been overtaken by people who ordered after me and had delivery estimates the week after mine.

A lot of the excitement about getting a new phone has worn off for me. It's not a new phone any more, I've missed out on all the new phone chat and my feelings about it arriving tomorrow are more "about ****ing time" than "OMG new shiny!".

A large part of me wishes I hadn't been seduced by Jet Black and had gone for the gold with brown leather case I was all set to get before the announcement.
