Well it’s bad news from Amazon today. Ordered my Sierra Blue 13 Pro Max (128GB) around 13:14 on preorder day and have now been given a delivery date of between 8th October - 11th November :/
Got a tip for us?

Thank you for this information. Mine says “Fri 24 by Express Delivery”.
Aye, same for me. NatWest were no help. Glad you got it sorted though!
For initial stock, I think they’re in warehouses in Hinckley in the UK already
Mine went to preparing for dispatch in the first couple of hours of ordering
I strongly recommend the authenticator app called Authy (by Twilio). It backs up all of your accounts and it's super easy to restore all of them to new devices!
I've been using it for a few years now and it makes migrating between devices a breeze.
That’s always the risk when ordering from a third party supplier. With Apple, they always under promise and over deliverAnyone who ordered from Amazon having their shipping delayed?
My friend just got an email saying it’s delayed
That sucks! I've always found Amazon to be very flakey with pre-ordering pretty much anything. They seem to mess up their pre-order allocations regularly, leading to delayed orders really often.
It's also kinda rubbish how they don't show a delivery estimate on the product page for pre-orders.
Yeah, I do have my 11 Pro Max still so could be worse. Waiting a min of 3 weeks is acceptable, but if it’s November I’ll cancel and get it somewhere else - Apple Stores will have consistent re-stocks every few days I’d imagine.
Who knows, may even avoid any defects and get a better batch of phone but gotta think manufacturing of the iPhone is pretty refined at this point.
Looks like we’ve been overtaken by the 🇺🇸 USA thread @TheYayAreaLiving
Suppose the US has 5 times the population
About time you caught up tbf!

Would have to agree. I have only ever pre-ordered video games from them before this iPhone but even so, they usually messed the orders up so shouldn’t have expected much. Main reason I went with them for the phone was for the interest free 5 month instalments.
i use very who are very dependable. I use them every year without fail
Just been in the apple store over in newcastle here. Had a mess about with the 12 pro and pro max. Much preferred the size of the pro max but have the 13 pro on order for friday. Anybody had experience with changing the order through apple? Got the 0% financing deal so that makes it more complicated
What are the chances of the phone turning up earlier than Friday? Mine is Express so being delivered by DPD / DHL.
I agree. Yes I’ve bought some crap ones in the past that caught flint etc- but last couple years I’ve bought glass protectors off amazon for £2/£3 and they’ve been excellentWhilst not all screen protectors are equal I would say there is nothing to choose from between these three. In fact, I would say high chance they are exactly the same product rolling off the same production line. The rest is just packaging and marketing.
My experience is that I used the Torras one on my 12 Pro Max and is was superb, applied it on launch day and the same one took me through to the point of sale last week and looked as good as the day I applied it. When I came to get one for the 13 Pro Max they hadn’t listed it yet on Amazon (despite the “date first available” saying otherwise) so have gone with the Spigen Full coverage this year.

I’m the opposite, with my plethora of Apple devices I need it all in sync. Photos, docs, passwords etc. The phone plays a small part, it’s the important stuff on the MacBook which uses most my cloud storage
Return the one you don’t like the look of 😂Have ordered the 13 pro Graphite in 128gb and 256gb for collection, not sure which one to keep though
I find that Apple is the most reliable when it comes to delivery dates that’s why I always order with them. If you order with any other retailers it delivery dates can be hit and miss.
I see the US thread has begun discussing their flight details. Should be entertaining as usual, still remember last year when they all tracked a flight on FlightRadar only to realise it was the wrong plane.
I've sent off for a pack from them too. Never used them before but offering £494 for my iPhone 12. Next best was O2 Recycle at £410. I'm a bit dubious to send it to Argos/Likewize - not a lot of reviews and the website is a bit flaky. But if Argos has put their name on it, they just be ok.
