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

[SparklyApple]

Mine is coming with UK mail, it’s yet to be dispatched but I know for certain my phone number is outdated- is there any way to change this or to find out a delivery slot elsewhere?

Yes — https://www.ukmail.com/manage-my-delivery/manage-my-delivery

Are DPD going to call you if they dont see you? Anyone experiences this?

Normally if you're not there then back in the van it goes and either they'll try again tomorrow or you can collect from DPD depot

UK Mail text received with 16.15 to 17.15 delivery slot.

EE Apple Watch owners, after the mess that was initially setting up any news on the best way to transfer the watch to our new X’s? When unpairing do we keep the plan when t asks or remove it?

there is no need to unpair anymore, you get an option in Apple Watch to pair existing watch. Takes about 10 minutes to pair it.

Yes, I ordered from the Apple Store Online. My local DPD depot is Southampton. I’m sure yours will update soon!

DPD Southampton is my local depot too

Last update :-
03 Nov 2017 04:46 Southampton Your parcel has arrived at our Southampton depot

 

[Broken Hope]

Where are you based? Any DPD updates would be helpful if people could share depot location

I'm based in Nottingham and it's just arrived!

 

[Jinjin]

Please let this happen! I’m in that batch.

Me too! I’d even cancel the JL order if there was movement today

Wow this thread is bonkers this morning, went and got a coffee come back and 5 new pages.

It's bigger than the US thread, somehow. Anyone would think Brits like their phones...

Ok so my local CPW store has zero stock and only 1 demo unit. Gonna try my luck at the Apple reseller now!

Demo something you can't sell? Sound like CPW.

 

[BMox81]

Have a fantastic day with your new phones people!

Interestingly the second phone I ordered a minute later is being delivered by UK Mail and I have a delivery time between 12:15-13:15...but DPD delivery is still in Croydon depot

 

[Lustral]

Phone in my hands! The overnighter was worth it!
Hope you all enjoy yours!

That’s right as you’ve said.
1. Unpair Watch which then creates a backup of your watch and saves it on you iPhone.
2. Backup your iPhone
3. Restore iPhone from backup
4. Pair Watch with new iPhone and choose restore from backup.

Thanks, that all sounds logical when put in numerical steps ;-)

 

[dbrose]

Unpair then backup as unpairing forces the watch to create a backup on the phone, then backing up the phone will back up both the watch and the phone then just restore the phone and then repair the watch.

no need you can now pair to an existing watch in the Watch App

 

[spriter]

Me too!

Had text earlier for 1300-1400 from Appleton (Warrington).

The yanks are still sleeping. Wait till they wake up and get going

Yes, I ordered from the Apple Store Online. My local DPD depot is Southampton. I’m sure yours will update soon!

Cheers thank you!

Had one in my basket at Argos but was wary or going for it, just because its Argos and the fact someone started talking to me about work stuff!

Go to their site and enter the 14 digit number from apple.com it will show the slot and progress.

Which depot? I’m also waiting up in Leeds. Usual get a notification between 9:30 and 9:45 on last couple of deliveries and came within the hour so there’s still hope

I’m waiting on the Morley depot as well. No movement as of yet.

 

[owz206]

64gb space grey and 256gb silver still showing in stock for my area on Argos

 

[Diorama]

Ah yeh. I had forgotten about that.

If I’m honest though, I feel a bit dirty buying from a non-Apple retailer. A bit like I’ve bought own brand baked beans....

THERE’S NOWT WRONG WIT ALDI BAKED BEANS SON

On my way to Covent Garden for pickup...managed to get a saddle brown case reserved too!
