i got one did you managed to put buy it now over 12 months on it? Hasn’t worked for me I’m trying to sort it out with them if not I will send it back to them 😈
 
I would be fine with bi-yearly presentations at this point.
I keep my iphones for around 3-5 years and in the meantime: I never watch the presentations and avoid checking out anything about that years iphones. So I would not get tempted or get any "inferiority" feelings to nudge me to update 😆. I only watch the presentations and forums etc when I am gonna update that year :p

Yeah all went through fine for me, just leave it there for 12 months pay off the £350-£400 negative equity after selling the old phone and rinse and repeat. Works out much cheaper than a contract

What app you guys using to track the DHL delivery? DHL express can’t recognise it weirdly.
I had this last time i ordered, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but means the phone isnt going to be delivered and they have lost it. sorry just kidding, mine says the same. Perhaps it takes a while for it to filter through their systems.

you can actually use the global tracking website too to track it, sometimes updates whilst apps etc do not.

I can sell you my purple 256GB 14 Pro if you want lol
I just traded mine in a few weeks back for best price so I could get gift vouchers for the 17 pro max.

I feel like the 14 pro spoiled me and the SE is a horrible nightmare of a downgrade. I can’t wait to throw it out the window tomorrow

Why, just why you have to scare me like this? I almost soiled myself!!!

Joke a side, cool I thought I was using the wrong app, I can go clean myself now, thank you for that, i’ll send you the dry-cleaners bill soon.

:rolleyes:

DPD status for my blue 17 Pro - based on the experience of previous years, any idea of when we're likely to get an update?

Also for those putting them side by side to do the transfer - do you move the physical SIM to the new phone before or after you've done the transfer - or during? I've seen conflicting guidance.

My iPhone 17 Pro is coming via DPD, but for another order that is going by DHL, I am using an app called Parcel. You can add the tracking number, the courier and then a friendly name and it seems to be updaing for me.
Ya, I ended up using Parcel as well, since it worked on it.

They don’t have an app or what?

Sadly they no longer have an app. They dropped it several years ago. It's web based only. DHL express is a different division of the DHL group. You can't track access their apps, you need the correct division, They all use different tracking number structures. It's mental if you ask me.

My fitBag is coming from Germany vis DHL Deutsche Post and that's a different tracking system again.... LOL

Its a bit like tracking Royal Mail and parcel force.
 
I was dead set on the 17 PM up until this morning, now I'm contemplating whether the Air is more suited to me. The only thing holding me back is the speaker and lack of ultrawide lens...
A reviewer said you can use the front facing camera (turning the device round) as a sort of ultra wide which looked a pretty cool trick.
 
Does anyone know how strict the Apple Store will be on collection time? I booked a late afternoon slot but i’ll be able to get there lunchtime now… will they turn me away?
 
Now shipped but still saying delivery on 22nd. What are the chances of getting sooner, tomorrow or Saturday? I do live in Scottish Highlands so might have something to do with it.

It's fine, the staff member might let out a little 'sigh' but you'll be able to collect it.

It'll be fine at most stores. I recall regent Street sending someone away one year I was there, they were checking everyone in on iPads before letting them join the queue.
Hopefully it's more civilised now.
