Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[yourmn]

The money for my iPhone is no longer pending and has left my account

 

[Kiimora]

tbh i have decided not not go gong ho over wireless charging and have since cancelled the Anker fast charger i ordered from Amazon. I'd wait for the actual X/wireless fast charger reviews.

I am guessing you are on the Fri 3rd boat?

You beat me to it!
Just noticed Apple have now taken the full amount from my Halifax account.
My order is for delivery on 03/11.

 

[kwokaaron]

Hm... mine is for the 3rd as well but it still says pending

 

[Urban Splash]

For what it’s worth. I paid on the Apple store app via Apple Pay with Amex. Went through no bother. Was pending on my Amex app immediately. Payment cleared today. With payment now fully completed I’m expecting dispatch for Friday delivery soon. Still at the preparing for dispatch stage.

I’m thinking of an Ikea wireless charger. Cheap as chips. Not bothered how quick as it will be on it through the night.

Yeah - seems I was one of the lucky few who managed to get into the store at 8.02! What date have you got?

 

[page3]

Anyone in the UK have their delivery date bumped up or is this only for America?

Nope, but think of the poor Americans as many aren't getting theirs until 11th March!

 

[Apples n' Stone]

Nope still the 3rd for me

Smug

 

[daleski75]

My HSBC is still pending payment and also got the order in at 8.02am but the delivery date is still the 3rd so that’s all that bothers me.

Wow talk of pure luck, 'am on the slow coach 13-20

 

[Skiefire]

For wireless charging I'm just assuming it will be a bit of a crapshoot so have bought a cheapo pad that can be plugged into a half decent USB power hub. Wireless charging is more about convenience over speed so theres no way I'm going to pay £50 for something that will charge the phone fully in 2 hours vs 3 hours.

My reservation for the 3rd is still confirmed

Fingers crossed it'll improve for you!

Exactly the same, 8:02 order and HSBC, payment still pending although my available balance is £999 lower. Still preparing for shipment also.

 

[ChrisLisi1982]

I have checked the price for my iPhone 7+ on O2 recycle, it asks what network it is on (mine is unlocked) so I guess I don't need to be on O2 to use it? (if you use the voucher code 10MORE you get 10% more)

I’m credit card so not expecting mine to leave my account till apple ship my order ( this happened with IP7)

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Well once delieveries are completed on Friday, I would hope that the 13-20 will change to PFD

If you want one which is guaranteed to work at 7.5w then I would go for either the Belkin or Mophie wireless chargers

Do these come with an inbuilt AC adapter, permanently attached, or a AC adapter with a USB like iPhone adapter? They seem very expensive though over what one son Amazon are, like £15-20

The adapter provided is detachable from the base, however uses a custom connector to connect to the base.

The Ikea chargers look petty bulky for what they are. I do like that they’re building them into furniture though.

Going rate seems to be about £15 for a simple charger, without power adapter.

So best part of £345 for my iPhone 7 128GB.
Currently watching one on eBay that has one hour to go and is at £381. Now mine is in better condition as that has a small crack on the screen and I've got brand new accessories to throw in and an Apple leather case but I think with the eBay and PayPal fees it could work out better just sending the phone to O2.

I'm thinking of just doing O2recycle or similar this year as well to save hassle. eBay for this is hit and miss, fees, sending it, buyer saying not as described etc etc. might take a little less and go O2recycle, only need phone, technically could sell accessories for a bit to up it a bit more? Mines £407 7_+ 128Gb at mo, apparently can walk in O2 shop and hand in, but can't use codes thats way

 

[r1biker]

02 recycle with the code is slightly more than CPW, but with the added cost of special delivery, I plan to pop down to CPW on Mon and give back my phone, as long as I get my new one on Fri.
