Exactly the same for me.. Delivery slipped to 26th so had to order collection on 16th
apple are notoriously good for pulling those dates in... hopefully it was be the 3rd or sooner!
If you checked out and got a delivery date you might still be okay. In previous years Apple try to take payment again plus they don't actually take payment until they dispatch
128GB Deep Purple pal
You got a good deal there, I am paying much more but went for the full works
Well, thanks to the app and the website constantly buggering up, I did finally get my order in, but the date slipped from next week, to October Still, gives me more time of giddy excitement
Still, gives me more time of giddy excitement EE PRE ORDER done
256gb iPhone 14 pro max black
With apple one included
Was £105 but I got for £84 with 20% discount
She was refusing the discount at first as she said there was already a big discount for upgrading so I said no problem just put the order r through as I want it for launch day and I’ll dispute and complain about that later, then she spoke to her manager and they changed their kind and gave me the 20% - great deal

I’ve ordered as a new customer through EE, all gone through and fairly painless,
Just wondered is there any way of knowing if it will be delivered on launch day, nothing on the confirmation to suggest it won’t be, but nothing to suggest it will either
Cheers

For me one of the worst years of Apple day 1 ordering.
13:08 and the Apple Store on my iPad, on my iPhone and on my PC browser were all showing the we're-getting-stuff-ready message despite numerous messages here from people who had already turned their pre-orders into firm orders. I wondered if Apple was somehow blocking my fibre IP address so I disabled WiFi and went to mobile data and I then saw the active store on my iPhone by which time delivery was Sep 26 - Oct 3. I switched to local store pickup and got a Sep 16 date but then the transaction kept failing with an interruption-try-again message. I went to my PC browser (on my broadband) which was now showing the active store and placed a new order but had to get the 128GB model instead of the 256GB model to get 16th Sep pickup and by then the closest pickup was a store 8 miles away. (I'm not too bothered about the memory, I had the same issue last year when I wanted the 256GB but had to get 128GB if I wanted day 1 and I'm still only using 79.2GB plus it's easy for me to get to the other store.) On placing the order on the web site it got stuck on the spinning wheel and never came back to me confirming that the order had gone through. I then went back to the Apple Store app on my iPhone and could see the order under my orders even though I haven't yet had any order confirmation. Oh, and while placing my web order I had to re-log in 3 times simply to click through about 4 pages to finally get to the payment.
All in all this has been a wretched experience this year.

Even worse if your locked in at MM and sending the device on getting the new oneif you've just sold you're 13 and running a 5s as a burner.....
Just in case anyone missed it, leading up to the 1300
It looks like they took 1p, then another attempt they took the full amount and had it declined.
On a long hold to the bank to try and sort it. Fingers crossed.
I don't need it on day 1, but it would be nice
Does anyone have any idea why the iPhone Upgrade Programme pricing seems to have changed? I looked last night and the 14 Pro was £61.45, and now it says £53.45. Apple Store app still says the higher price.

I see a lot of people experiencing issues with Apple.com.
I have to say, personally, that was quite possibly the quickest order I've ever placed? I opened the app, it went in, the immediate prompt was telling me to finalise the pre-order, clicked the Apple Pay option, face ID scan, done.

Just make sure you're on iOS 16 on your current 12 Pro and you'll be able to use the iOS 16 eSIM swap feature.
Appreciate the info, thank you
Ordered both phone and AirPods for release days (16/23), ahhh
