Everywhere showing the end of Oct for delivery dates now. Anywhere to get the 14PM 1TB sooner?

Check iPhone Availability - Apple

reserve-prime.apple.com

Check every moment you can. 1T pop up a lot as not as popular due to the price

Pushed back, no. But they could be shorter.

Doubt it would make any difference in the grand scheme of availability. If you order online you get a delivery timescale. Most swapping out and getting new phone are using store stock. It would not make deliveries get any faster.

Also Apple are well equipped and will know the % of changed minds they will get from each region.

There have been quite a few 1tb over the last few days.

Download this app and select the model. It will tell you when there is stock.

Think about how many more customers could get an iPhone in store if there were less returns. Returns can't be sold as new.

And no, nowadays producing an iPhone is a struggle due to ship shortages. Like cars. Or PS5s.

Are you using just the free 5GB iCloud or paid? Cause if it’s full it could be something to do with that?

I pay £6.99 a month, I can’t remember how much that gives me but I’m sure it’s more than enough. I’ll try and log on. Thank you!

2TB, I think you have enough

Why there is only the odd P or PM showing up here and there instead of proper stock? Looks like they are all single units of stock. Why is that? How do they even do it? Are all these unwanted phones that customers didn’t want and cancelled?

Probably closed box returns (unlikely) or reservations where the person didn’t show up - they can’t (or don’t?) sell returns as new.

Would you kindly do the same pics once your clear soft comes? I’m very interested thanks!

It's the clear hard case that's due to arrive.

I've had the clear soft case from Peel before for the XS Max and 11 Pro Max and I wasn't keen. They're thicker than the hard cases due to the limitations of the material, and critically, they still yellow whereas the hard cases do not.

My plan is to keep the chunky clear ESR case for days where I'm more likely to drop the phone - days where I'm away from my desk and away from my normal routine for example.

Despite saying Monday I’ve just received a time slot for today! From DHL.

Mines saying Monday at the moment, this has given me hope it might come today!

I think couriers do generally get apple products delivered asap rather than waiting for things like working days etc

I was going to change my 14Pro gold as the gold this year looks pretty meh imo.
I had a SB reserved but due to problems checking out with the barclays finance on day of launch my shipping date was due in October when I eventually managed to check out.
As desperate as anyone else is to get launch day stock I purchased my 14Pro from Currys, colour option were either gold or silver.
Anyway with a midinight silicone case from apple and one of these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BBXZW8SW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My gold phone now looks nice and black, so I'm happy now

 

[Okapi24e]

Same here…feels an age after being caught out by their gremlins when preorders opened…. trying to complete the pre-credit checked order only for it to keep throwing me out and watching the delivery dates creep up..🤬

Have you seen any changes to your order? Mine still hasn't moved past Preparing To Ship. It looks like ours will be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yes!!!!

I accidentally bought the new AirPods. I hate it when that happens.

 

[Saladin12]

Congratulations buddy! You made the switch to SB I see

For those old enough to remember-We went to see Steve Norman (ex Spandau Ballet) last night.

It was a really nice little intimate gig to celebrate 40 years since the release of the original Spandau album Journeys to Glory.

Here are a few pics from my 14Pm…

@Jinjin - Tim loves you!

Hope your phone is gold - apparently it’s indestructible.

True.

To get the phone you took a real Journeys to Glory

 

[BillGates1969]

Yay!

Very nice, however just a small thing, it looks like you have your screen protector on upside down. That little cut out at the bottom should be at the top for where the speaker is.
