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

[SayCheese]

Just had a DPD delivery of something for work. Asked the driver if he was busy today, we talked about the iPhone launch and he said he has 3 large boxes of iPhones on the van for delivery. It's the busiest he's been in a single day for a long time apparently.

Got my delivery slut and snake:

Your order will be delivered today by Ternabil, your DPD driver, between 11:51 and 12:51

EDIT: * slot. I give up with typing with my phone

I’m just wondering how many times you actually use that word in everyday messaging for your phone to constantly autocorrect to it 🤔

I can't watch all these pictures, makes me sad as mine isn't coming until 9th Nov

@Jinjin So is the Belkin protector in store, not edge to edge?

Here’s a pic of my 12 Pro with the Belkin glass protector fitted.

Silver is becoming more appealing every time I see it.

The only thing holding me back is the lack of PVD coating to stop scratches as I go caseless.

But you can actually polish the bare stainless steel with something like Cape Cod polishing cloths. If you chip any of the other colours, it's game over and the PVD flakes off.

If I get the Amazon confirmation this evening, I’ll be cancelling my in store collection, so there will be a Pacific Blue 12Pro 128gb going spare in Edinburgh store tomorrow - if that helps anyone 👍

I’m glued to this forum even though I’m waiting for the Mini! That 12 blue has changed my mind again - it looks SOOOOO much better than on YouTube

DPD Francis has delivered the 12 Pro in Pacific Blue!!!

My missus is over the moon.

I had to ask if he used to work at Apple and he just nodded and walked off smiling

Was it really THE Francis?!?! I'll never know but a big Apple part of me definitely wishes it was.

Mind blown 🤯 What a day!

12 Pro people - let us know how obvious the CE Mark appears

True! Remember doing this on Apple Watches.

Apple’s newsroom page is being updated with launch-related pics.

From a US distribution hub:

I would love to see inside the Hinckley centre. Really puts into perspective the sheer scale of an iPhone launch.

In our minds he is the real Francis, in his you’re just some crazy person 😂

Sleuth? Quote a lot, I do a lot of troubleshooting as do my underlings and I like the word a lot I also use hitherto and henceforth a lot.

This photo gives me anxiety...what if one of them falls and the rest fall like dominos

Jason from DPD finally gave it to me. He was unaware what all the identical packages in his van were until I told him lol

Anyway, as Spandau Ballet said,

GOLD! Always believe in your soul!

Not to be rude to you but it looks pretty stupid because it stops at the edge of the screen despite the screen being flat!

I'm also glued here despite the fact that I am holding for the 12 Pro Max. Love seeing all the images of the phones and peoples first impressions.

Am I seeing it wrongly? Is it only cover the screen but not edge to edge?

 

[SquealingCustard]

Phone has arrived and put it somewhere out of my reach whilst I await good or bad news from amazon.

 

[Azzin]

I scared the postman this morning by going to the door naked.

I'm not sure what scared him more, my naked body or the fact that I knew where he lived.

 

[Gadge Goblin]

Really getting more excited about this! Stepping up from iPhone X to a Blue 12, so not huge on new features (other than the camera), but excited about form, speed and shiny colour

Your gonna love it the colour and form are beautiful

I got just the 12 but it’s hardly noticeable

 

[D1G1TALR0B0T]

Just arrived via DHL.

 

[Charliescotland2020]

Wooo! DPD 13:12 - 14:12 in Edinburgh. Can’t wait, I’m getting quite used to these launch day iPhones! Had to buy the 12 outright though, and I managed to cancel my 11 pro max contract for free after some haggling (begging) but 3 where really good about it, redundancies are coming at my work and it was either pay 1300, to cancel my contract, or send this phone back and get a phone outright. Was seriously just considering the 11 but when I seen the 12... iPhone 5s was my fave design ever. And I knew if I only got the 11 I would just regret it!

the pro’s do look much nicer! But I have hardly used the telephoto lens, apart from a trip to Porto haha!

 

[palemonkey]

Have a sneaky feeling mine might be arriving earlier than the time slot... Tracker just updated to say my driver is 2 hours away from me and is only 40 deliveries away from mine already...


(I know I said I was gonna work, turns out I can't with how excited this thread is!)

If it’s DPD I’ve had a guy sit outside my house before because he was 5 minutes early and the system won’t let him scan the item before the time slot
