Guys, missed placing pre-order on Friday due to work. Any chance getting pro max 256gb at the store on 19th without pre-order collection slot? Like old classic (queuing) apple way 10 years ago?
They typically have some stock available for walk-in customers on the day but it’s not guaranteed obviously, you’ll need to queue and they might not have your preferred colour or capacity left. The other thing you can try is checking on the web / app each day (after the launch day, you won’t see anything if you try this before the 19th) just after 6am: IIRC from previous years some stock will appear then that can be reserved for in-store pickup, either new stock they’ve got in or from orders people have cancelled.
How did you know? Are you working for the delivery company(s)??? :oops:
I think he may have been taking the mick.
 
has the status changed for anyone?

i'm still on processing. same for my watch. haven't even took my money yet.

My phones on processing, however my watch is preparing for shipping since 3 days.

Money has already been withdrawn for the watch too.

So when all that drama happened, my first thought was, ‘Great, now the order’s probably gone, or it’s gonna get cancelled.’ And of course, that would mean I’d have to go through the whole process again, place another order, and then just sit there wondering when on earth the phone(s) would finally have a delivery date, more than likely Oct at this stage. The idea of starting over was honestly stressing me out. Thankfully, after I wrestled with the bank and finally got the whole mess sorted out, the order stayed put—no cancellations, no delays, just a big sigh of relief on my end.
Just FYI this happens every year and never have Apple cancelled an ordered for a failed payment.

Iirc they give you a chance to resolve it first. I'm collecting Friday, suspect they won't take the money until Thursday therefore.

Early reminder too for the UK - they ship to hubs (syncreon technology unless anything changed) who then ship out to us. Therefore often it doesn't change to "shipped" with tracking details until late Thursday (8pm last year for me I think).

Also - with DPD, no guarantee you can get it upgraded to early delivery. Apple used to put blocks on that (it's an option for DPD). I remember my delivery driver encountering traffic and not bothering to come, saying attempted delivery with a black picture. I phoned DPD to say wtf and they apologised and said it was clear what they did. They then tried to promote me for a free Saturday morning delivery before apologising and saying apple doesn't allow that (even though it was a day late now due to the fuss).

TLDR;
It's all designed to keep us hyped up and macrumors gets lots of posts ;)
 
looking for a decent cover the the 17PM. I am coming from a 16Pro with a Torras with a stand at the bottom which I must admit I really like. I have ordered the exact same again, but also ordered the Tech Woven in Blue (deliver from Amazon late September) and the beats in blue. So many nice covers...

Any suggestions or recommendations? Also, is that kickstand on the beats any good?

Mines still on processing too. Still saying delivers by 19th Sept though. Never had any issues with delivery slipping and looks like there are others in the same boat too.
 
I got sent a couple of Torras cases direct from them, but I’m not getting the Pro models this year. Not sure why they randomly sent them free of charge to be honest.

Because you’re very lucky. Wish they sent me some free ones!
I like that colour, but yet to see how it looks with the orange phone in it, wondering how orange and the bluey green frosted back will work together.
 
I'm in the iPhone Pro Max 512 in blue club, roll on Friday.

So the UK don't get the new charger or fastest charging speeds till someone else comes out with one?

  1. The 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max will be available in Canada, China mainland, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, the Philippines, and the U.S.
 
I was able to cancel my order a couple hours ago which was still in processing stage, but which has now changed

It's still in processing, but the Cancel button has gone.

Snap, same here! Mmm maybe there's change due today!
 
Bit later to the party here. Also in the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256gb Cosmic Orange club here. Ordered around ~13:04 Friday.

No issues ordered after closing/opening the Apple Store app a few times (only minor non-issue was that I set-up the pre-order using ApplePay and it ended up just using the standard card payment path which was saved so just required the 3 digit security code and a Virgin Money app approval notification).

Order changed to preparing to dispatch yesterday along with my card being fully charged.

Case wise - ordered both the Apple Sienna case and the Torro Orange leather case. The Apple one has a nice grippy feel whereas the Torro one is much smoother.

Screen protector - Torras screen protector, which is what I use on my 15 Pro Max. Like the smooth curved edges of those compared to other glass screen protectors.

Very weird - Apple took my money the other day and just now they refunded it. Not sure why?

Could be just the pre-authorisation which has now dropped off and will change to a full payment once the iPhone dispatches later next week. I've seen the that happen before with iPhone pre-orders.

3 more sleeps until we can gorge on reviews from across the usual sources!

And 5 more sleeps until we can enjoy the thrill and joy of iPhone Day (and AirPods Pro 3 / new Watch if ordered!)
