Another one from EE.

List of issues keep on growing lol

''I just had a phone call from EE. Apparently theres been a few issues and some orders have been placed on Royal Mail 1st/2nd class service which wouldn't be dispatched until Monday (not sure how this would work with the bank hol too, so I imagine even more delays. The guy on the phone called just to confirm what I ordered as well as the plan. Once confirmed he's now changed this to the DPD service so it will be picked today, dispatched tomorrow and delivered Friday!''
EE use DPD, I have never had anything from them shipped via RM apart from SIM cards.
 
I think the Space Black looks different shades at different angles - seems like they've applied the Sierra Blue process across to SB and DP this year

Hopefully when reviews drop later on we will get a better picture of how the colours look. If Space Black turns out to be the black I hoped for I may have made the wrong decision in Purple but time will tell.

Surely sending a phone out 2nd class post opens them up to "phone not received" claims.

If I don’t get a “Dispatch expected within 24 hours” notification before 5pm today I’m going to phone EE when I finish work and find out what’s happening.

iPhone 14 Pro Max in Deep Purple, all these posts have got me worried now.

Might be best to call them, hopefully no issues. Also knew I’d chatted to you on twitter 😏
 
I really don’t get the bloodthirst for USB-C. I absolutely agree that it should and will happen eventually and it will be much handier just having one cable for everything, but would that really be the thing that makes you upgrade? The convenience of a cable?
I don’t mind Lightning at all and I do love how durable it is. I work with Macs in a corporate environment and it worries me how worn out the USB-C ports get on them. They eventually become quite loose and crap-feeling.

I usually only travel with my phone, AirPods and watch, so not having USB-C isn’t a bother to me. And we’ve got loads of Lightning cables at home and in the office. And I usually charge via wireless anyway!
 
Hard agree. I remember last time I tried to buy a 12 Pro from AO.com as I missed out on the launch day Apple preorder. Despite being promised multiple times I'd have it delivered on launch day, AO then said it would be delayed.

I cancelled and opted for an in-store pickup from Apple instead. Now I only trust Apple for launch day delivery.
My 12 Pro delivery from Sky got delayed the night before launch. I was so disappointed! Ended up collecting one from Regent Street the following day.

I also only trust Apple for Day 1 now!

what would be great the iPhones could charge with the watch charing puck too... now that the new AirPods can, it would be great to have a single portable cable for them all!

I'd be loathed to buy a MagSafe duo

Ok me not panicking any more.

Rang EE just now. Spoke to a very helpful lady.

She confirmed status of both my orders has been changed from 'Open Sales Order' to 'Picked' so very likely I'll be getting my devices on launch day and via DPD.
You definitely will be, used to work for EE and picked means warehouse are just waiting on DPD to collect from them.

Not entirely sure the puk would offer much charge, it will take you back to the 5w charging days. Even Qi charging is faster!!!

I have had a lot more luck with the Web Chat from EE - took about 35 minutes to get through on the phone, they told me that they couldn't tell me anything, and that there was 'no such thing' as an order number beginning with 02; got through to web chat much quicker and they were able to give me the details immediately lol:
