@Megan139 @Ye I wasn't happy doing another credit check either but was absolutely fine and sky one will be removed when phone is returned... if it ever turns up.. won't allow me to cancel till it's delivered apparently 🙄 which currently looks like the 1st of never 6 weeks on 🙄🤣

Please help me out here bc I wanted to do the same too but I have no idea - do you have to use their sim? I don't want to use or pay for their sim, just the phone

if that can work then I'll order it straight away, I'm done waiting for a possibility of an update this month from Sky

My only concern is this has already gone through a credit check and to then do another it's gonna look abit sus did you cancel the sky one and then do Tesco? Anyone else know where else has stock ? I spoke to apple directly and they don't have any in at the min.

As long as your credit isn't in absolute tatters, you should be fine.

[Megan139]

No but I have had a second mortgage go through only 2 month ago so just fear with so many hard searches it will end in tatters haha I'm gonna give them till Tuesday like they have said today to me.  if I don't receive il just be ordering from apple 6 weeks is abit of a joke

Your going to have a long wait some of us are still waiting from 21st September and others longer no point ringing them they are saying all different things to people because they don't even know them selfs it's bad practice if you ask me saying will be 3-4 weeks been waiting 5 weeks and still no updates wouldn't mind if they would give us all updated

If anyone like me didn't do much of a research or came across this thread before buying... I specifically went with 17 pro in Blue 512gb as it said "back order, delivery within 1 week". I understand back order a possible delays, but as the week has passed and no updates, decided to try the chat support. After waiting for 1 hour to get a response, person checked my account and said a different phone from what I ordered (pro max, not pro). After that was clarified, I was told that because of high volume of order, dispatch would be between 2 and 4 weeks. After it changed to 4 - 6 weeks, so they couldn't get their story straight 🙃

A couple of hours after that, got an SMS from sky that I have not activated my esim yet... 

I am not in a rush as current phone is working fine and to be fair this delay will help me get out of current provider contract without the early termination fee, but quite annoyed at the incorrect information in both website and support.

If my order is cancelled as it happened to many in here I am not sure if I will bother trying again, might bite the bullet and pay phone upfront directly with Apple. 

For those that had their orders cancelled, did you get the e-sim issued and all or didn't get to this stage at all?

@FlyestMonkey40 no u can put sky sim in it for example... i just got the cheapest sim with the phone as u can't buy device only. My sister did the same last week but was  for different colour! Came the following day 👍🏻 u can then just cancel the sim but keep phone with them ❤️

Awesome, will I have to pay any early termination charges? 

Looks like I might just be ordering this, they have stock ready for delivery tomorrow 😁

i ordered 19th of september,  still showing in progress coming soon, i have been in contact with them on numerous occassion and they keep giving me fake dates, its just so frustrating how they lie about it, i missed work twice waiting to receive my phone until now they keep telling me same stories, anyone in northampton has received?

[Mohammad20]

iv had the same issue they tell me different dates every week been waiting for a month does anyone one have any updates for the pro max orange 256gb?

[AngelAsh]

Hi, I ordered the iPhone 17 on October the 7th and it's been two weeks now since iv ordered. Iv tried calling and have tried finding out when it will be delivered but still nothing. Just wanting to know when 

[63johnw]

Hi @AngelAsh  no one here can tell you. There are delays with the 17's. The most up to date information is in your order status in your account. Coming soon means they are waiting for stock. 

[Desmond4]

to be honest im not even sure if i will ever receive a phone from this people because they are nt honest at all. mine is 17 pro max 1 tb at this point the color does not even matter to me i just want my phone

That's not an overly long wait compared to some calls.

They won't be able to tell you much. Some customers have been waiting far longer.

All calls will start automated which may offer you the online help route or try to send you here to the forum. Stay on the line as long as possible and saying nothing when asked the reason for the call sometimes helps being put in the queue for an agent.
