Spigen Ultra Hybrid will be arriving sometime later today.
 
Can anybody remember back a few years ago when you could track your iPhone all the way from china using the order number? Can you still do that? I'm assuming all our handsets come from china straight to us (via syncreon hub) and that's the reason there's a week between the day we pre-order and delivery?

Our new phones will have been in the UK at Syncreon for a while now. They won't get shipped till Thursday as that is the release date that Apple stipulates.
I suspect people from the US will be tracking their phones across the world this week however.
The week pre-order is likely how long they allow for manufacturing plants/distribution to get the devices across the planet ready for Friday launch.

Yup - once the status goes to preparing to ship - it means a device has been allocated and yes our phones are in the UK ready for us. We should see shipping status on Thursday - with tracking either thursday night or early friday.
 
This eSIM business sounds exciting! So I've seen in my vodafone account I can swap my sim to an eSIM. So should I request this on the day I get my new iPhone? Then basically I set up the phone with wifi (no sim installed) and the add the data plan and it will work for calls and texts too?
I am with Vodafone. When I did mine I was without a phone for 24 hours. When you request an esim, sometimes you get the email straight, away sometimes it can take up to 24 hours to arrive. The physical sim stops working as soon as you request the swap. If it does not arrive straight away, Vodafone CS will not help you for 24 hours.

Oh believe me I've been through the whole "you're order is open and hasn't been completed we'll send an email to a team who will complete it for you" nonsense...it's the one thing I really don't like about Vodafone
 
Just had my Baltic Blue case delivered - its a beauty!! 👌🏼

I had the Mujjo leather case before, which had naff leather buttons and an open bottom but this Apple case is gorgeous!!

It actually adds a nice weight to my iPhone 12 (must be the magnets!!) which I actually thought felt too lightweight - well pleased with it.

:apple::)

Anyone who ordered from Curry’s had an update on their order? Mine still says ‘Order received’

Never done a pre order from Currys before but with the discount through work I thought I may as well. Can’t wait to get my hands on the pro max!
