Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Kal El]

To be honest once 3UK stop offering all u can eat (Which they never will this is the main selling point for 3UK) we move onto Virgin mobile unlimited package for £25.
For battery I haven't notice any difference between WIFI VS Cellular wifi i get around 9 hours usage and Cellular with full signal i get around 8hours and 30 minutes.
the main reason I use this much data is getting my moneys worth each month for £9 is a bargain.

How did you manage to get unlimited for £9?

Anybody with UKMail delivery had their phone leave the Ryton warehouse yet? Mine has been there for the last 8+ hours and still hasn't had any update since being scanned in.

I'm not worried that it won't get here in time tomorrow as they could leave in the early hours of the morning and still easily get here in time, but just curious to know what time it generally tends to start making its way here (assuming it does have a 'check out' scan at the warehouse, that is).

I bargain them down from £20 over @ customer relations on my last 30 days.
they allow it too even with my heavy usage.

It'll probably arrive at your local depot very soon, then ready to ship to you in the morning. Mine says it's still at Ryton.

I am sorry man for what I said, but I honestly always had very bad services, never in time, never knock on the door or press the bell, and the person that's delivering is as if they hate their job and don't care when facing a customer, even their customer service line is rude, however never had any issue with DPD or UPS, always excellent service.

I'm a logistics manager and we use UPS for all our deliveries. I remember when Apple used to as well.

haaha I used to pay £20 I told them not happy £20 to expensive give me cheap they said £15 I said no in three chat.
the dude came out with £9 lol

 

[AVBeatMan]

Their shift start @ 7am and get their vans ready, and drive off by 8am~8:30am and delivery start 9am (don't quote me however).

Thanks.

My dpd tracking says on its way to oldbury and then we will deliver between 6am and 10pm lol. Long day!!

 

[AVBeatMan]

It's also a kind of sad night as its the last one with my iPhone X. It has been the best phone I've ever had (I say that every year) and so I'm sure that my new iPhone XS Max will be even better.

 

[MD_Dan]

Bored of waiting now.

 

[SteveHFC]

EE weren't giving me any loyalty discount for my sim plan. So i've no signed up for 3's sim deal at a fat better price.

Im with DPD too - my message from them says to expect a message with a time around 11:00 -- but, they actually deliver from 06:00 to 22:00 - strange

Lol. Every upgrade since my first (iPhone 4) was just a spec bump. The bigger screen of my 6+ was the biggest change.
So really hoping for a good experience moving from my 7+ to an iPhone XS Max.
Should feel like a big upgrade as I've not even looked at iOS 12.

I think for once I am going to ask a probably common question....

If I got declined for the iUP can I pay outright? Or is the stock reserved purely for the iUP?

I would rather the iUP but thinking of what my options are as after reading around loads seem to fail.

You can pay in full

 

[WRXiceman]

Well, as I sold my iPhone X a few days ago I've been using my spare iPhone 5S since then, and I must say that I cannot wait to receive the XS.

My tiny 5S has done me well, but my god it's slow, small, tired, and old.

Going to be such a jump after using this for a few days now.

Thanks mate, knew you’d answer. Was going to quote your user name but couldn’t be bothered to edit the post!

 

[Kiimora]

Me neither! By the way, to wipe the X clean before shipping off is it;
Sign out of iCloud
Erase all settings?

By all means; also remove your payment cards from the wallet & deactivate the digital key on your banking apps, they’re linked to the device.

Apple should pay me as a fly by night customer service rep... unless everything I say is bs ‍♂️

 

[activeuk]

do not think my o2 order is going to come still showing
Order status In Progress

How do you deactivate the digital key? Never done that before.

 

[BMcCoy]

Pretty sure erasing it will ask for you to do so.

If not do this!

Horses mouth: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201274

Probably.

But in their specific support document, they do advise signing out of iCloud before erasing..

That also makes sure you don't delete all your iCloud sync'd stuff when you 'erase' everything from your device.

UK Mail

Last update: Arrived at Ryton at 12:49.

Nothing since then, but i aint worried...........yet.

Sure it will be fine!

 

[Jinjin]

Won’t mention my horror story where ups missed my 6s+ delivery even though it was out for delivery!

It transpired that the van was held up and then stolen! Croydon depots hey

For First Direct, they advise..
