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

Of course they do, that's definitely not complete bull***t from them.

Not that I'm angry with them cancelling my launch day order at the last minute, blaming Apple, not offering any goodwill credit, and saying they'll send a colour I don't want instead at some unspecified future date. Not at all.

Every year I’m here telling people to avoid Currys at all costs and every year, they show everyone why.

Off topic, an update to what I shared earlier regarding iOS / iPadOS 16.1 Beta 1 the Check for Updates area appears to be working correctly thankfully. I still wouldn’t reccomend updating to iOS 16.1 until you have transitioned over to the new iPhone.

Can’t wait to see an abundance of one hour sluts tomorrow, best way to wake up in the morning so I’ve heard.

DHL App is stuck on order received

DHL Web tracking says collected at the same time app states order received

Makes me think they haven’t collected from Syncreon / Hinckley yet?

Any views on this?

Who is setting up their device tomorrow ?

 

[Joseph C]

In my infinite wisdom, I thought to myself ... what can I do to make time go quicker this evening? I know what I'll do, I thought. I'll factory reset my Philips Hue bridge and the Apple Home app so I can set it all up again nice and fresh just like my new phone tomorrow!

Yeah. That was a bit of a stupid idea. Chaos is now reigning supreme in Joseph Towers. Going to take me hours to sort this out! 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

 

[Azzin]

Are we leaving the thread open for iPhone 14 plus members?

I say scr3w them.

What, both of them?

I did basic setup as per their to do things and then just use *#06# for all the info and then you just put the iPhone inside.

And if you not happy with their valuation. There is an onscreen button Return My Device. Press that grab your iPhone and go do some Asda shopping.

Can you explain how to do basic set up? I presume that doesn’t involve signing in with your Apple ID?

Can anyone shed some light. I’ve always backed my iPhones up via my mac however I don’t have enough space apparently on my MacBook anymore even though I use Time Machine etc. anyways. How easy is it to use iCloud will I have everything saved from phone settings etc to pics, wallpapers contacts etc

The courier company I work for (which I know you'll have heard of!) has depots in the north of Scotland too. The latest our trailers arrive at the Service Centres is around 11am. That's unusual and is often down to some kind of traffic incident, but things arriving on that trailer will still go out for delivery the same day.

Under normal circumstances, we would be hoping to get all the trunk trailers on the road around midnight.

We need one of those national geographic style documentaries about how apple pull this all off

Just activate it and then basically say no to everything until you reach the home screen lol

Do you not already backup to iCloud? I mean just a regular back up

He or she better take some paracetamol and crack on!

Same here, my guess is they were scanned in as collected/order received when picked up from Hinckley. On there way to a main depot where they will be scanned again before being sorted and sent off round country some point this evening

Yeah that sounds about right - maybe some movement by 10pm tonight - “ on the way to your local depot”

Man i love this time of the year.

Some Cashew Nuts, Almonds, Pine Nuts and Coke Zero

And cracking jokes on the forum.

 

[wizzywig27]

Now this really annoys me. Upgraded with EE today and it’s all gone through. Get to the gym and load up Apple Music - no active subscription. Had to click the link in the text. Great all set up.

Now I have lost every single song in my library. Guess it’s not EE’s fault per se, but why do Apple do that!! Why do EE not just make it seamless!

It’s happening

Excellent, thanks.

I do not

 

[simps100]

Tempted to go down the MM smart kiosk route then if they will update my original order / price.

Does anyone know what time the kiosks are open? If there’s someone remotely checking the phones I assume they are not 24/7?

Can't remember who recommended ReBuy but just locked in with them for £354 for my 13 mini. They said DPD will collect and bring all packaging so I don't need to do anything (apart from factory setting the phone). Would you guys suggest I take photos as it is placed in the packaging?

I did earlier in this thread. Everyone here is all in on MM but I couldn't recommend reBuy enough. Used them last year and the year before to sell my 11PM and 12PM. The convenience of choosing the DPD delivery date, having the driver come over to your place, bring all the packaging etc and having it delivered to reBuy the very next day and then your payment the day after is priceless. (I don't work for them I promise 😜) I got the full amount quoted both times btw. Having my 256 13PM picked by DPD on Saturday, £733. My only experience with MM was selling a MBA once and that was definitely...not smooth.

 

[anthdci]

EE saying every 14PM model is available for launch day delivery, I somehow doubt that this close to launch.

 

[abraxian]

Was expected 19-21th September, has shipped, estimated delivery date from Syncreon? 16th September. Huge.

I maaaaaay be purchasing a different colour in store tomorrow, though. What's the most reliable way to sell the one I'm not after privately?
