Not all bad though!

For people worrying about lack of movement on in-Store pick ups for tomorrow. You won’t get anything until this evening, I did this last year for the 7 and on the Thursday evening I got notice of pickup for the next day. Don’t worry.

my vodafone account just changed over to my new plan, they told me the new plan wouldn't change until the phone was dispatched so fingers crossed its on the way!

 

[robrandtoul]

iPhone Eve!

 

[chocolatesox]

Today is going to drag so much!

 

[davidjearly]

Sometimes the preparing for shipment status doesn’t update at all with iPhone pre-orders so don’t read into it.

Secondly, I’ve just had a text from Royal Mail staring that my delivery from UTL is due today - I’m sure that’s distribution partner of Apple.

True...

This will be my first iPhone on launch day. I’ve always had the traditional 1-3 weeks after launch from Vodafone. Always hated seeing one on the tube before I got mine, haha, sad but true.

 

[Joseph C]

Will we find out our courier today?

 

[Apples n' Stone]

First year I’ve got up and launch day pre ordered since the 6S+ and first I won’t be having one on launch day :/ Ah well, I’ll get the ice cream out and cry at how wonderful everyone else’s are xD

 

[Polaroid]

Still not heard anything from Three, site and app still lists delivery as 30th October (last monday!) grrrrr

 

[boy-better-know]

I’ve ordered the new iPhone every year direct from Apple for launch day delivery and I am pretty sure I have always been able to track the package from China. Could be wrong but this is the first time I remember still being prep’d for shipment a day before.

I’m not worried anyway, if Apple says tomorrow then I’m happy.

 

[MatthewWallis]

Still no info from O2 depsite having a 3/11 delivery date, now all I’m gonna get from them is the usual ‘We’re working through on a first come first serve basis’ crap

Me too. I'm praying to get a dpd text tonight.

Don't worry you'll be updated today, Probably around noon

 

[Poltzzz]

Text from Vodafone confirming plan changed over and got a DPD parcel number from live chat. Fingers crossed!

 

[blaugrana69]

I have not yet had any delivery notification yet, not expecting any update until tomorrow. I’m assuming that we will get an email or the Apple order page will provide tracking details.

Will we find out our courier today?

Yes, but it could be as late as this evening before you're notified.

 

[flazedude]

Still preparing for dispatch wow. Doesn’t it take at least 1 working day to deliver?

 

[richgoga]

Not to put a damper on the excitement but does anyone else have a feeling they will be taking the X back for an 8 after a few days or so of use? Just feel like I’m going to be annoyed with Face ID, it’s not as reliable as Apple has made it out to be. I really hope not but Apple is annoying and disappointing me more and more lately, not enough to jump ship but they really have gone downhill since Tim took over.

Worried about dead pixels more than anything else. It’s a pretty fair guess now that U.K. stock has been in Hinckley for a while, so it’s also a pretty fair guess that the stock was from an initial batch... QC only gets better with time. If it has any I’ll just return it & stick with my 7. Not gonna get into a display lottery.
Setting myself up for disappointment so I won’t be too disappointed if apple do disappoint me!

 

[infinityharry]

SOOOO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW!!! Made Myself a Wireless Charging bedside table from IKEA Table £5 Charging pad £10

Same here.

They will probably get handed over to the couriers late afternoon early evening.

one of the things making me hesitant to cancel my 2-3 week apple order, even if I get my CPW one tomorrow. I want to spend some time with a device to make sure its ok - if I need to return it I can't imagine Carphone will have immediate replacement stock..

So I received a message for Carphone Warehouse saying DPD are delivering to my chosen pick up store tomorrow (silver, 256gb)

I was given the option to change to pick up from local depot surprisingly, which I did and hey presto confirmation text and email to allow me to pick up from DPD tomorrow morning at 8am

I can’t see how they allowed this error but looks like it slipped through and come 8:01 tomorrow am I may well have an iPhone X in my hands!

Update tomorrow

Any luck??

 

[MarkX]

I get the feeling Apple are just trying to tease me now.

I’ve not had those reminders

 

[Illdoit2morrow]

This is exactly what I did (change to depot pick up)

Can’t see how they won’t give it to me, they won’t know it’s an iPhone and I have the email and text saying pick up 8am tomorrow...let’s wait and see I guess.

Well DPD came through for CpW collection local depot
