iPhone 14/Plus UK iPhone 14/14 Plus/14 Pro/14 Pro Max Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

VERY still showing as by 19th September. Hmmm, I wonder if it’ll update tomorrow in line with other retailers/Apple direct.

 

[Jinjin]

Last email I got was the one with my password to access the credit agreement

I wouldn’t worry, your phone status still shows 16th I presume so you’ll get it

Always enjoy The Verge's review (although Nilay Patel grinds my gears for some reason but maybe it's not him this year 🙏🏼 Last year was the wonderful Dieter Bohn but he's left the company now) Either way they always have a good production value and insights.

CNET and Engadget normally also do good ones!


EDIT: Ugh already picturing Nilay and hearing his voice in my head now. "So this is the new iPhone. It's... well, it's an iPhone. It's got some cool stuff like last year's model had good stuff and the one before had good stuff. It's got this weirdly named Dynamic Island which is an awful name but it's ... kinda cool to use? And an Always on Display which Android has had forever but it's nice. You do wonder if it's worth upgrading anymore. Let's dive in and see." 😤😂

I’m gonna use your edit as a bingo card for the review from The Verge 😂😂

 

[Ifti]

I bet you are all looking forward to iJustine's 'review'.........
lol

Same with mine, I wonder if they will come direct from China as well… and does this mean there will be flight tracking in this thread for the first time in years?

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. It’s still another nine days to delivery. Hopefully if it is that we will see some movement in the next few days.

Are you sure it was taken or was just in Pending state until this week. If you use these new digital banks - starling, Monza, etc., they deduct the balance as soon as the transaction takes place however the money hasn’t really been taken yet it is sat in pending state until settled by merchant.

It was pending after preordering but it cleared for some yesterday, least mine did

Well my ups app has picked up my 2 Apple Watch orders. One arrives apparently the 20th and the other the 21st and one has an estimated 2 hour delivery window Apples site just says ‘preparing to ship’
No updates on AirPods yet.

Meanwhile at Amazon for the 14PM…

I got angry just reading your Nilay impression… Dieter Bohn was great.

How many times an hour to check if Amazon have given a shipping date is too many? Asking for a friend...🤣

 

[jameseld82]

Let's hope that when it comes to shipping my phone EE are more Mercedes 2020 than Mercedes 2022

🤣🤣 As I work for a Mercedes retailer I am very biased but let's just say this year I feel really sorry for Lewis as he has had a really bad car given to him and has had some very bad luck. George on the other hand is clearly making the best of a bad situation (even in Zandvoort when in my personal opinion he should have taken one for the team and stayed behind Lewis)

The Steam Deck is an awesome device. I’ve had mine for about five months now and I love it.

OT I know, but can you play XBOX games on it?

Or XBOX Gamepass games?

I can confirm checking every 15 minutes isn’t getting me anywhere!

Cannot tell you how many times I keep opening the apple store app in hope I see a change.

If your plan changes tomorrow then you are defo getting your device. Just keep refreshing the ahem out of that DPD app.

Me neither.. I was hoping that Amazon would see I'm checking mutliple times an hour and then think 'He really wants this phone, let's bump him to the top of the queue.!'.
Is that how it works? 🤣

The verge is a go to for me (although the new site is trash so that might not continue). Always check out what Mrwhosetheboss and MKBHD are saying too.

The Verge and MKBHD usually for me, Mrwhosetheboss really really irritates me, don't quite know why maybe the way he talks or the fact he spells it 'whose' just annoys me. 🤣

Yeah someone a couple of days ago mentioned their 3-10 October delivery got changed to Friday. I’m sceptical now!

Stock has landed in brick and mortars.

insider info?

I wonder what it's like having the new iPhone shipments arrive in store. If I worked for a retail store I would love the build up to release day.

 

[AppleFanToo]

Thought I’d mess around with the “Focus” feature whilst relaxing this evening. All I will say is it’s such a pain the backside that I gave up! I read a comment somewhere which said “Focus: The solution looking for a problem” spot on! 😂

I find Focus works really well actually.

I have about 6 different Focus modes all allowing different people/apps to contact me based on what I am doing at the time (driving/workout/working in the office/working from home/etc).

Top feature if you ask me.

 

[AppleFanToo]

....far too much excitement in this thread - its only Wednesday!!!!
