Meanwhile... those of us who could only get the order placed at 13:11 are just getting ours prepared to ship!

How long were the others showing "preparing to ship" ? View attachment 2274799

The day after the keynote mine changed to PFS.

Enjoy your launch day phones I am not jealous honest!

My 27th Sept - 2nd Oct delivery is now preparing to ship and Apple have taken my money so should not be long now.

May well ship at the weekend, and come from china, and then 27th-29th a good chance.

She’s here and she’s perfect… Natural Titanium is the Grey we expected 😂

What no colour reveal party?

I’m waiting for that guy to post who was worrying he wasn’t getting it because he hadn’t received an invoice yet as it was a collection.

“Got the phone guys, still no invoice should I be worried?” 🤣🤣

DHL driver blitzed through the deliveries this morning he was 30 minutes early for me! Phone waiting for me when I get home (thank god the Mrs was working at home!).

Just finished to set up my iPhone 15 Pro from scratch. Got it at 10 o'clock sharp from Apple Store, got my protection installed and was out at 10:10. They were really good !

I thought I'd regret going with Titan Black but BOY what a beauty !

Don't you mean the day after pre-order? You couldn't order the day after the keynote! But yeh, I'm thinking a week after PFS.. so 28-29th

I thought DPD told you how many stops were before yours, along with a little map of where the driver currently was, but it just gives me an hour timeslot with a blurry map in the background.

I've just checked my wife's tracking and it does for me.

I got a notifcation that he was 30 mins away so maybe it'll go live, then?

Watch Ultra 2 and Pro Max 256GB in Black arrived at 10:15. Restoring from backups now...

I’ve noticed that many are getting a screen protector. Never used one and never scratched mine since the very first iPhone. I think just a case is enough in my case.

Used to have the same view as you but now been using tempered glass screen protectors on my last 2 iPhones and I actually prefer the feel of them to the naked screen. The oleophobic lasts much longer and if it runs out you can just put another protector on. I never scratched an iPhone screen but have seen enough online about other people doing so that makes me think a protector is worthwhile. Helps the resale value to if a yearly upgrade

Argos order arrived. Ordered Weds at 3pm, here around 10am this morning. Just in time as off on holiday tomorrow. Moved from a 12 (non pro) to a 15 ProMax. It's huge and I have mild regrets just because of that but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Mobiles.co.uk initially refused to refund my order which was moved from 22/09 to 24/11 on the basis that their sales team were too busy selling phones they can't deliver on time to other people and told me to call back in a few days. Anyone in the same boat can register a complaint here to get it cancelled: https://www.mobiles.co.uk/contact-md

Having placed 3 failed orders with Currys group (through CPW and Mobiles) I can safely say I won't be ordering again with them. No refunds come through yet for any of those orders.

3 initial thoughts coming from the 13PM:

• The weight difference is NOTICEABLE! So much more comfortable to hold.
• I was never fussed about the notch but I can't believe how much smaller it is. Dynamic Island also looks really good, eager to see how other apps use it.
• I'm thankful I got a cheap case because I'm tempted to go caseless, if just for a while. Natural Titanium is truly stunning.

For all those with devices on the way, the wait is truly worth it. See you all again in 2 years 🙂

My DHL driver is 15 stops away... the excitement builds!!!

Servers being hammered no doubt

There are CDNs in place. I highly doubt this is caused by overloaded CDNs.

I ordered a Blue Titanium Pro from John Lewis which has been at the DPD depot in Reading since 00:34 early this morning and is still there. 🙁

 

[jonnyb]

Anyone else in the Highlands having to enjoy this thread vicariously because we’ve got to wait until Monday for DPD to get up here?

😭

Quick question.. Managed to reserve a phone at my local Apple Store this morning, for collection tomorrow. However, on purchase Barclays asked for more information (Just wanted me to confirm identity), then they approved the finance on the loan, however, the order on Apple still says "order on hold". Anyone had anything similar and when I can expect the status to update?

 

[zildMacjian]

Mine is only a 5 min walk from the driver but he has 70 stops to go ! Everyone been buying them it seems 🙂

Just walked past the Birmingham store, no queuing system to get inside, not even any barriers outside, but did look pretty busy inside
