Amazon gang RISE UP.
Ordered at 13:10, 128 purple pro, no movement. Just says delivery date pending.
Has anyone in the thread had theirs ship? Saw one guy yesterday with 5 or so on order getting a dispatch, but nothing since.

Definitely do, just for peace of mind. Although, I've never had a bad experience with DPD in general. The driver also takes a photo of the phone before he packages it if I remember correctly.
Sounds painful.Agreed.
Can we just get back to concentrating on the fact that I'm getting a big deep purple one tomorrow!
Agree. I did this last year and it took ages for the refund to be posted on my card
What time/SKU did you order?
I’d expect them to dispatch in the next 30 mins or so if they’re going to do it today.
I'm doing the same. I'll only cancel Amazon when I've got a confirmed one elsewhere though. Just in case I can't get one elsewhere and Amazon deliver on Saturday
Thanks!
So my macbook doesnt have a lot of storage itself, I do use an external HD of 1TB but now I'm feeling it might not be large enough, after deleting some very heavy files/apps on my macbook and then deleting very old backups on my iphone I now have managed to back it up on my macbook with is my ideal prefered method but who knows I might venture to the iCloud side when I get a bit more familiar with it
Hoping the Kiwis/Aussies start receiving phones before bedtime to whet the appetite for tomorrow!
Ordered about 1.15pm when I realised the Apple pre order screw up meant I couldn't get one for launch day.
14PM 256Gb Purple
Do it. I was like you, very wary of iCloud at first but now I’m like a duck to water with it.
You might not actually be wary - just my wording but you get the gist of what I mean I hope.
I had to clean up something that looked like that earlier, thanks to my dog. So it will be a few days before I could eat something that looked like that.
If nothing from Amazon by the time i wake up tomorrow about 7am i'll cancel and try Argos/john lewis/Apple store.
Fingers crossed i get one from somewhere
Not point cancelling until you secure somewhere else. Cancel after!
Me neither. Mine is still on preorder and, having gone through this for the last God knows how many years it would have changed by now if it was coming tomorrow. Will have a screen cover and case but no flipping phone 😡
Lap 1 went really well for me
The impatience and hassle of setting it up is part of the fun! It's like a ritual to me and I've done it so many times that it kind of happens on autopilot.My first time posting to one of these threads.
New phone (14PM DP 1TB) arriving tomorrow. Unlike in previous years, it's DHL rather than DPD (which I've always had good experiences with). Fingers crossed...
Since the 6s and onwards, I've been upgrading every single year to the then top of the line model and giving away my old one to family. A lot of money left on the table I know but it's good to know that my old phone will be going to a good home. Plus no worries after reading the horror stories on here about MM etc!
Am I the only one who has some mixed feelings about new iPhone day ? Yes, it's a new iPhone and all that but the downside (for me at least) is around a day of weekend spent setting it up, e.g.
- Updating iOS on the new phone as required
- The long restore process (couple of hours to transfer from the old phone to the new; and then more hours downloading the 600+ apps on my phone)
- Finding every year that some of the apps I had on my old phone no longer exist in the app store
- Setting up Apple Pay which is a pain if (like me) you registered have more than a half dozen cards installed
- Making sure two factor authentication codes are transferred across
- Logging back in online banking apps which all have different hoops for you to jump through (including call backs etc)
- Logging back in on all my other frequently used apps (where the info doesn't transfer across automatically even from an encrypted backup) - including generating new one time codes for some apps required to log into my Apple account
- Getting the old phone ready to be given away - logging out of certain apps (e.g. Amazon Kindle which has a limit for some books), deleting the old iCloud backup
etc
So I'm both excited and also a bit apprehensive of yet another day of tinkering around to get the new phone to how I like it and the old phone ready (after a quick polish) to be given away!
The best way to live is to savour every moment, for they only happen once! 😇
