Other UK iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max (2020) Orders and Dispatch Thread

[pennbank]

I'm missing something. How do you check stock levels at specific stores?

On The Apple Order page, select Store pick up and scroll down, availability at nearby your selected store will show. On my screen grab App Store collection is presently down. But when back up will show stores with availability and or similar product to the item you have selected. Have to be quick though throughout the day as orders get cancelled etc.

Does anyone know what time the apple stores show again in the app? Is it 8am?

My EE order has updated to delivery on the 23rd

Same for me!!

Hello everyone.

it’s most likely that iPhone orders are in the UK already. Will be with DPD on Thursday evening.

its much more fun when they used to ship it from abroad and follow the journey.

I’m going for the iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB in Graphite... only 16 more days till pre-orders.....

Last iPhone I bought was the iPhone X, sold this to music magpie for £350, currently using the iPhone SE 1st gen (battery life is awful). Makes me appreciate and get more excited for the newer iPhone.

Think this might be the first time I’ll ever get AppleCare. How much is it monthly? And would it only apply to one of my devices or can it apply to my iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone?

For the iPhone it’s around £8 a month or £199 upfront. You’d need to buy it for your other devices but you can only get it in the first 60 days since purchasing.

Thought they changed it from 60 days to 12 months a while back or was that US only

Yes, I have just reread the post. Sorry , it is very early.

Anyone here preorder with Three? Went through a right ordeal to get them to agree to something they offered me in live chat and then tried to back track.

Ended up ordering the standard 12 in blue 128gb, 12gb data, they wiped the £49 upfront and paying £52 a month.

But I hate you don’t get anything to confirm your order... just a text on the day of delivery, but thankfully they use DPD too!

US only as far as I’m aware. They always get better treatment than us from Apple.

When I read the ordeal that everyone goes through ordering from anywhere but Apple it makes me think why doesn’t everyone order from Apple. I used to order from O2 but I got fed up of not knowing whether it was coming until the day of the delivery so now buy outright from Apple.

My EE order is also showing expected delivery date 23rd October

Do you get a text the night before with a time slot does anyone know as having it delivered it my parents house

does anyone know if the new iPhone 12 Apple silicone cases have a small lip to protect the screen on impact? Or is it flat with no front protection?

Does that mean my O2 order page won’t change then?
Currently shows as waiting for launch day.
If it doesn’t change after that I can stop loading it multiple times a day ?

They don’t deliver to West Brom fans on release day. Sorry

So Whose at BLUEWATER first thing Friday????

I did an iPhone launch at Bluewater once... never again!

They are a bit hit and miss on your O2 account in the “my orders” section it will have an MS-number click on that and the tracking details should be posted there first.

The ms order number isn’t a clickable link unfortunately

Yes I just had a look the o2 site appears to have changed since I last did it through them.

Nothing will change until tomorrow, tomorrow evening your tracking number will update, also tomorrow night you will get a text to say your tariff has been updated - both of these can happen anytime up till mid-night tomorrow night as O2 despatch up until then, will be either DPD or UKMail, I believe O2 are also using DHL currently

This is where you’re tracking number will show.

When I was with o2 years ago from 6, 6s and 7, I didn't hear anything but I would get a text message the night before that I will receive it tomorrow. I got all three phones on launch day.

Honestly not sure i may ask them when i go in there

Please do! Feel like it was iPhone 7 or X onwards, I rang up and they said no point without a reser

Keep Checking, I did thats how I bagged my 2nd order at around 5.30 today for collection Early Saturday Morning at my local store . So I can decide on colour of the Pro. My first order (Ordered Friday) is for collection This Friday Late Afternoon. They may let me have the 2nd order when I go in Friday If I prefer the colour. I will be cancelling one so some one will also be lucky to bag it in store

I mean, it’s your phone and you paid over £2K for now so they would be foolish to say “no come back later”... In my retail / student days people used to kick off over parcels that were not in yet if they were shopping at 9am for £6 T-shirts, imagine saying no if the stock is there! If not, a quick “are you joking, the phone is here right now and so am I”

I'm up working late, because I've spent most of my day following this thread and refreshing my Amazon orders!! Just ordered a Fferrero Rocher milkshake via Uber Eats and the sugar is not helping in keeping me away!

I drink a tremendous amount of coffee to help with that, it’s more of a “you get used to it” rather than feel the benefits

I did an iPhone launch at Bluewater once... never again!

oh how come? Did they mess up your reservation or was it not in stock at all? One year they definitely had no launch day stock beyond collections, I cite above^

They have the lip.

Cheers!
I’ve never ordered a phone through them before, only SIM cards.
So their system is all new to me.

I would imagine this thread would calm down slightly by the max/mini launch but there will still be plenty of us here making references to time slots ?

Lol. Yeah likely to calm down here but personally I will be pretty much far from calm!

I'll have everything open from phone to iPad to iMac with app store & website to try & secure my Pro Max!

Going to be the eye of the 2020 iPhone launch storm! ?
