Unfortunately not on this side of the pond. Phones won’t move for a few days yet.

Rough timeline of ‘tracking day’ which should be Thursday next week, based in previous years. The below was a summary from 2021 and was similar last year.

8.30am - first DPD app notifications of delivery but nothing from Apple and no updates on order
12.00pm - apple order status pages went a bit wonky and not available (ensue panic)
12.37pm - order pages available again, panic over, the world is good again... expect still no updates on orders
12.40pm - first confirmed Apple.com order update as shipped - Syncreon tracking on order page... let the post carnage begin! with this tracking people could see if they got UKmail too (no early notification from them)
4.40pm - DHL/UKMail texts went out with tracking working
5.41pm - the annual 'Why is my phone in Newcastle?' post when its just down the road near Hinkley (https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ers-and-dispatch-thread.2251576/post-29089512)
6.30pm - typo by someone asking if DPD provide 1 hour sluts for their deliveries! 😂 😂 🤣
7.15pm - my instore collection status changed to ready to collect. people getting notification of 'ready to collect'
7.47pm - more dispatch emails sent out from apple.

Ahh, yes, the 1-hour sluts. :D;)

As usual, not many people opting for the gold iPhone. Surprised it hasn't been dropped yet and replaced with a different colour.

Agreed. I think it's had its day now.
Silver, Black and two more daring colours like the purple / blue etc should be how they do it going forward.

iPhone 14 and 14 plus not looking popular at all on here! (out of 551 votes).
Next year there should be 3 new models all pro specs, 15 mini, 15, 15 max.

How do you mean? If they showed 16th delivery when you ordered that’s when you’ll get it.

It said from 16th so wasn’t clear but wondering if from previous experience if O2 says it’s out of stock before release date, what are chances they will get stock for release day. If that makes sense lol

Which model is showing as out of stock?

If it said “from 16th” when you ordered, it should come then.

I used to order from o2 back in the day. Some silver phones as well @Joseph C 😀 If it says from release day they do normally deliver on release day. They aren’t great with communication though so you might not find out until it is at the door.

I once read that Gold is very liked on Asian market. Maybe this is why it's still sold

I hope 14 pro Gold isn't iphone 6 rose gold.
Made that mistake once.
Maybe 14 could be more solid gold effect.

Yes the rose gold was for Asian market to encourage uptake. I never ordered a gold until it was ‘yellow’ gold Though think the 12 PM I have now is the only gold I’ve had.

Nice, I'm deciding between that or the Torras Diamond Clear Case. I don't like the branding or bulk of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

Torras is usually my go to for clear cases, have been using for the past 3 years with no issues but currently they are only offering the diamond one with a hard back and silicone bumper. I prefer the full soft / tpu case but they haven’t released that product line yet for the 14 series.

I did email them yesterday about why they have the Diamond Clear, but no Crystal-clear case (like previous years).
They said that the crystal clear may not be available for a few months due to stock capability in warehouse.
Although, personally, I do prefer a harder back

Oh really! Glad you found out as I’ve been searching daily for the past week! The ESR one I got seems ok but may be a couple of mm bigger than the torras - will have to do in the interim!
