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

[SneakerFreak]

Just phoned DHL - 'there has been an issue' and my phone 'should' be delivered over the weekend. Apparently it was loaded onto a van but then taken back off (due to the 'issue') - fuming.!

Unbelievable - literally as soon as I pressed enter on the above, it turned up!, even the DHL customer service dont know what they are talking about!

I really like the finish on the Blue, feels quite professional looking and a refreshing change from Space Grey.

Are you in NI and did your tracking update?

Delivered about 40mins ago. Bizarre exchange with DHL driver who seemed miffed he had to take the lift and come to my door to deliver the package instead of me meeting him downstairs at the lobby

Like bro...you literally have ONE job, and it's spelt out in your job title.

Anyway, back to the phone. Definitely made the right choice going for Deep Blue

We're in business...almost

WSKEN screen protector which is decent. Best applicator i've used so far. And random cheapo case from Amazon until i get my skins.

Not as happy with the 'Clear' Case though, if you are going to sell a clear case why have a huge white rectangle on the back ?

 

[Craig27]

Have you had any updates?

They’ve given it to a random company with no tracking and marked it as delivered on the app. An absolute sh*tshow

Having no luck setting it up. Keeps saying failed and to reset iPhone to start again

Christmas really has come early. I'm a huge fan of the orange! I switched from a launch day Ultra 2 to the black Ultra 3 this year so I'm also looking forward to a change there.

In the UK, tracking never updated until it had been delivered!

This isn't meant in a mean way... but did you not see the many, many photos/ stories/ videos about the new clear cases? Or even looked at it on Apple's website?

Try being right next to your router with both phones. I also had this issue, which I think was related to either poor internet connectivity or some 2FA/password oddity.

I tried entering the wrong password deliberately, then entered the right one and it worked.

Or it may just be Apples servers taking an absolute hammering today.

Just a continuous error trying to set my new Air up!

They should definitely do colour-matched ones for each of the three, that white rectangle is criminally bad

Looks like Im in the same boat as you and Craig27. Terrific.

My Argos order hasn’t exactly gone smoothly today. I placed it last weekend for delivery today, got confirmation that Yodel would handle it, and was told I’d receive a 2-hour delivery slot. This morning, the tracking showed it was “delayed” and said to contact the sender. Both Yodel and Argos seem unsure what’s happening, each blaming the other. For now, I’m left playing the waiting game, as Argos still expect it to arrive at some point today.

similar, yodel say "they have it" but have yet to give a delivery window....

 

[nibster]

Do you have a screen protector on? if so which brand?

No screen protector!

I’m in NI. My phone has updated to say it’s forwarded to a partner company for delivery. My watch hasn’t updated since 9am with the last update being when it reached the delivery facility.

First person in the Apple Store at the Metrocentre. Got my iPhone Air in Space Black 256 and a pair of AirPods Pro 3.

Did in store trade in of my 16 Pro Max and set up my new one before leaving.

They seem to be having issues with resetting trade ins requiring them to do a hard reset plugged into a laptop.

Can I ask whether your 16PM wwe using eSIM and how you handled the transfer while in store during the instant trade in?

Not coming today is it? Never not had a delivery window from DPD by now… Ah well first world problems and all

That is poor show - although I’ve definitely had late notifications from DPD in the past. I’m sure my notification for my Shark was about 3pm and it came at 7pm .

All set up! Definitely chose the right colour for me, hate the orange and never like the silver phones, they’re too white. I love this deep shade of blue, it’s almost slate grey! Getting used to iOS 26 too as I purposely didn’t upgrade my 14 Pro.

No offence taken, I actually ordered the case right after the keynote, before I ordered the phone. So I knew about issue before I ordered the phone. I can live with it, but a bit of an odd design choice.

as @crdav says above, the should have colour matched the rear of the case.
