Other UK iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Dispatch Thread

[bronksy]

Same from Amazon for my AWU3, I noticed they marked everything that previously says released on 19th as temporarily out of stock now

Yeah I saw that. Was wondering if they just took pre orders without stock but them it’s showing now currently unavailable which hopefully indicates we have allocated stock due tomorrow or Saturday

Nothing for me yet😪

Nor me, but it will come not to worry.

Tomorrow feels like a shining bell,
a secret the hours can’t help but tell.
My door will knock, my heart will race,
a sleek new iPhone takes its place.


Wrapped in white, a box of dreams,
a glassy future with silver seams.
Light as air, it waits for me,
a pocket star, my galaxy.


I count the hours, each one slow,
like footsteps pacing, row by row.
But soon it lands, my joy takes flight,
tomorrow’s gift will glow so bright.


In my hands, the future sings,
the world condensed in tiny wings.
Oh, how I wait, I can’t sit still—
tomorrow comes, and with it, thrill.

You ever order a new iPhone? Yeah, suddenly you turn into a detective with zero chill. I’m refreshing the tracking page like it’s TikTok. “In transit.” Okay… but how? Truck? Drone? A tired pigeon? Give me details!

Every sound outside is a heart attack. Mail truck? Sprint to the door. Garbage truck? Sprint to the door. Neighbor sneezes? Sprint to the door. My Fitbit thinks I’m training for a marathon—no, I’m just waiting for delivery van.

And you start imagining disasters: what if the delivery guy drops it? What if my neighbor steals it? What if the iPhone becomes self-aware in transit and moves to LA to become an influencer?

I even practiced the unboxing in the mirror. Air unboxing! “Oh yes… smooth edges, revolutionary rectangle!”

Tomorrow, when that doorbell rings? I won’t just sign for a package. No. I’ll open the door like Frodo getting the One Ring. The courier isn’t a delivery guy—he’s the Chosen One. And me? I’m holding my precious… until Apple drops the next one in one year.

There used to be an actual syncreon tracking page years ago that allowed some dhl tracking when nothing else showed up. After a bit of googling it seems if you add 3998 in front of tracking number for dhl it sometimes helps

It seemed strange that they still had stock for things that had sold out everywhere else but only time will tell. The phone case I ordered from them hasn’t been dispatched yet either and that says 19th-20th

Yes I remember that. I was expecting the details to come from them if it was DHL

 

[jonnyb]

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.

I’m in the Highlands too, and I got notifications saying my gear has shipped and will be delivered on the 22nd. I’ve just gone to my Apple order page and it now says delivery on Tuesday 23rd!

I hope that changes!

Dispatchd

I feel your pain DHL are always late in the day for me. I'm at the end of the route I think.
With DPD they are usually between 10-12 for me.
So wish it was DPD and DHL... the snake dies at 11 am and you get nothing from that point on.

I have DHL as well but not too fussed this year as I’m away in Europe for the. I won’t get to set up until Tuesday.

We used to be able to track the phone from China through Syncreon didn’t we?

In rare cases, but the last time I can recall end user shipping straight from China was the iPhone 7.

I remember tracking my Apple Watch 5 from china which was DHL and updates on syncreon. I remember that well as mine was late as for some reason it bounced around Germany for a few days for no reason.

Don’t think that was the UK, as from my knowledge it’s always been down south in England

Other countries are being sent direct from China though

 

[AaronM5670]

My DPD tracking has just come live

 

[GigabitEthernet]

I don’t think they use Syncreon any more.

I had a MacBook from China and it was UPS all the way.
