Is that the iSteth that Apple use to check the health of your device?

Delivery Count Begins

He'd probably earn more doing iPhone deliveries today than whatever he's doing in the Russian GP this weekend...

Thanks MM but I've only had the phone an hour, i'm not sending it for at least 12 months!

11 months, surely?

Anyway: for various reasons I couldn't take part in the Launch Day fun this year, but thank you for being a welcoming bunch the last few weeks. I did just do a check on the Apple website; 13 mini in blue, delivery in mid-October or in stock now in Leeds (about 10 minutes walk away). So if I get one of the job-related phone calls I've been expecting I might yet go for a leg stretch later and celebrate!

They've arrived! both the iPad mini and the 13 Pro max. now which to start with first?! 😜

Has anyone done the iPhone Upgrade Programme upgrade in-store yet? Asking how they might have got on with the 11th payment (on account of the October 12 Pro launch last year) falling on today - has today’s payment been recognised, l;waving on the £69 in-store fee to pay for the 13/13 Pro? Or have you been charged the 11th month payment in-store in addition to the £69 fee for the new device?

Promotion and macro photography, wow! Just waiting on all of my achievements to download in Activity now - otherwise I'll restore again from iCloud backup as I know that works nicely (I did direct phone to phone transfer this time).

It didn’t take EE long to blame the fuel shortages on the iPhones not being sent

Liars.

They really should be ashamed of themselves, apologise to the customers that they let down, offer recompense and move on.

View attachment 1844109View attachment 1844110My new Pitaka Magez2 arrived successfully from China today and surprisingly no import duty. Anyways here are a couple of shots if it.

I’m partial to the Pitaka cases. Are they now compatible with MagSafe? The one I had last year wasn’t.

First impressions as it’s setting up:

- this thing is seriously heavy
- it’s makes my 11 Pro Max feel small
- fingerprints!

HE'S HERE !!

Goldie-looking pics coming right up as soon as I've finished this Zoom with my boss ...

 

[Craig27]

speak to Apple! that's odd

Talking to Apple now, still showing 24th on their system but DHL say 27th

Installed the Spigen* EZ Fit right out of the box. Screen cover off the iPhone then straight onto protector - not a spec of dust!

After seeing the silver now in person…. I think I made the right decision 😁

Something i can only dream of. I know i will cock it up big time.

On phone to EE he blamed (in this order: Apple, delivery driver shortages and fuel shortages).

He said it was Pro Max’s only and they delay is 14 days. I said do you’re not getting stock for 14 days and he said that’s correct. I said so someone at ‘Apple’ has three trucks, one of iPhone 13’s, one of iPhone 13 Pro’s and one of Pro Max’s. They can only send two trucks due to fuel and driver shortages, and someone, in their logic decided to send you the two trucks you have plenty of stock of? I smell BS.

It’s like being back in the 1970s!

Has @Cutiekitty92 had her phone yet?

What about my pals from years of threads @sparkie1984 @WRXiceman @Dino F & @Jinjin ?

 

[Jinjin]

Definitely, unless of course you have a child involved in the unboxing. 😂

they can look but not touch!

'We're really sorry there is a delay with your new phone, I appreciate this is frustrating. This is due to a technical error following high demand for the new iPhone 13. To stay up to date with your order, please use our delivery tracker. We're doing our best to get your phone to you, and stock is moving quickly - so if you receive a message from our courier DPD, please follow their guidance'

iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB Graphite for me.

Had a terrible experience with EE today, phone did not arrive of course.

Went into an EE Store and they had plenty of stock, told me to cancel my upgrade plan and can get new iPhone in store.

- Rang EE while in store, they said it was cancelled and all good
- EE assistant in store said it's still showing as active
- Rang EE again and they said the phone part is cancelled but the contract is stuck in pending, they have to raise this to the IT dept and it will be fixed in a number of days or a week and there is nothing they can do

So I spent 2 hours in an EE store to receive no phone and my online order is cancelled.

Must admit, i’m more interested by your keyboard.

 

[THFourteen]

Could be!!!

Something i can only dream of. I know i will cock it up big time.

I was going to say that they make it so easy that it's near impossible to cock up - however with my 12 Pro Max I put it on upside down like an idiot 😂 Luckily there are 2 in the pack!

DHL are so bad. The snake disappears and comes back, oh.. and it updates every 30-45mins. What a trash company. It‘s 2021 ffs.

I mean, at least Apple aren't using Hermes! That'd make today far worse.
