Still no DPD/DHL delivery slot yet. Why are things so slow around Newcastle?? 😂

Looks good, but my graphite 13 Pro doesn’t look much lighter? Think it’s very dependent on you ambient lightning and angle.

Sticking with silver!

Yeah it’s weird because it’s definitely much darker than graphite but in photos it comes out way lighter to the point it looks the same. That was my main concern but thankfully it’s I believe even darker than the iPhone 7 black

DHL are a joke, I still have no more information other than “Order Received” but estimated to deliver today.

Nope it's not covid (though that can't have helped). For years before it was like this - when Angela Ahrendts took over I think it became more soulless in general. Changes to Genius Bar, harder to just walk in and chat to someone, launch day changes.

I think tbh as soon as I left working for the Apple Store it went downhill personally 😂😉 Kidding, but in seriousness I think it was around 2014 things started to nosedive.

I honestly think apple has completely lost its “magic” it’s just another huge megacorp now. It’s lost it’s special relationship with customers and now just feels rushed. The store experience is still good but not a patch on years of past.

Same as their software, the bugs etc now are a joke.

This is what happens when it’s run by someone like Tim Cook sadly.
 
Despite DPD app still showing at depot and was awaiting the 1 hour slot, they have just been delivered!

This was from the Reading depot.

Well I know what I am doing this morning. Carefully applying the screen protector and case then setting up a new phone.

Morning all. Woke up at 06:30 and saw loads of stock on the iUP checker, even though I want to purchase outright, so reserved one for pick up tomorrow at Apple Store Bromley. Checked JL at 08:00 and ordered a 128gb Deep Purple 14 Pro for collection tomorrow and still showing is in stock as of now. Tried to use their £15 off £190 code but it wouldn't accept it saying that it was not applicable to the content of my basket. Shame but I went with it anyway for the for the 2 year guarantee which comes in useful when reselling privately in a year's time. When I get a dispatch confirmation I'll cancel the Apple Store Reservation. Hope everyone enjoys getting theirs today.

No Apple Store queues to buy iPhone 14 at Friday launch as UK mourns Queen

BRITS won’t be queueing outside the Apple Store for a chance to buy the new iPhone this year. A new restricted system is in place over the weekend – before a full UK store closure on Monday. …
