So spoke to O2 … been told to wait 4 weeks despite people getting shipments from O2 who ordered after me and at point of sale it said 16th as release not 4 week delay.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

People who sold to rebuy, did you literally just hand over your phone to DPD or did you put it back into its box and send it that way?
Haha love how at the end of all that, no one was queuing for an iPhone 8
I normally don't get a time slot until pushing 11am, which is the latest they let you know. Normally get deliveries here mid-late afternoon.
Best you can hope is that they have some cancellations so you can be moved closer to the front of the queue.
Yes, I had the same problem one year when a messaging app wouldn't let me login on the new phone unless I confirmed on my old phone (which I had by then already wiped!).
On 2FA, I also had the slightly unpleasant experience of needing to phone HMRC in 2018 to delete the 2FA on my phone before it let me set it up on the new phone. Fortunately from 2019 onwards, it seems to have transferred across with the iPhone info.
I keep a long list of things to do when I upgrade my phone to hopefully avoid falling into the same traps...
I’d suggest you do the device to device and then invest some time to back up your phone/photos/messages/apps to iCloud.
Once you get they in place, then future transfers are straight forward
I tend to do device-to-device transfer (wired with the camera adapter), I just can't remember if I have to unpair the watch first or if it just comes over (with all the previous data) in the transfer?
Being extra cautious as it's cellular and I hate calling EE to sort out the watch e-sim.

Just got a delivery update from DHL for my iPhone 14 Pro which Apple said would deliver 16th.
When you click through for tracking it says we have your parcel and it's due for delivery Tuesday 20th Sept. What?!? :-( Anyone else got DHL updates this evening?

What model / colour did you get? There’s always shortages on one or two options
Oooh, interesting. If I don’t have to unpair my watch as I’ll be doing device to device upgrade that would save me some stress.
Anyone know for sure if you have to unpair it?
So based on that, there's definitely no kind of automation involved. Interesting concept for a kiosk, that.
Can we just get back to concentrating on the fact that I'm getting a big deep purple one tomorrow!

Always good practice to do this. Whenever I clear a phone down I always go through basic setup and then erase again. Also run it through iMazing to clear it down
Last update on mine from DHL was 16:09 saying it was picked up - both DHL site and syncreon both showing delivery tomorrow for me. Fingers crossed yours is a mistake and it corrects its self overnight
Thanks for this. So do you recommend taking photos when the DPD guy packs the phone?
AFAIK you don’t, it asks if you want to move the watch to the new phone during the transfer process.
There really is no need to do this: when you erase the phone it destroys the encryption key for the SSD, given the strength of the encryption the sun would be a brown dwarf before anyone could decrypt your data.
