Let’s talk iPhone 14/14 Pro and 14 Pro Max pre orders

[Ghihdhd]

Still nothing I'm honestly tired of this company

[JoeW94]

@Ghihdhd Have you had any texts? I got one saying it'll be delivered by the 9th December. 

[Dayada]

@JoeW94 which iphone did you order?

[Aftk]

@JoeW94 

In my case I never received any type of update other than when I saw my order status change to something other than a on back order at 11pm. Can't remember what it was but half an hour later I received an email to say that the phone would be delivered the next day. 
I ordered the silver 128 pro max on 12th October and it was delivered on 15th November. 

[JoeW94]

@Dayada The pro max in purple, 128gb. 

@Aftk Yeah, I keep checking the purple banner in hopes that it will change lol. 

[Dayada]

@JoeW94 

I ordered the same one on 3rd October just got a message today that it will be delivered tomorrow. Finally after that long wait hope you receive yours soon also 

[JoshRM]

I ordered my iPhone 14 Pro Max in deep purple with 128gb storage on October 6th. I too received a message today saying I would receive it tomorrow dpd courier. 

I hope anyone still waiting receives theirs soon too. Good luck🤞🏼

[JoeW94]

Just got told that because the phones get sent out in batches to people on backorder, there is another batch coming soon and my phone is 100% in that batch. They said I'd definitely receive it before the 7th so fingers crossed 🤞

I ordered my iphone 14 pro max 256gb deep purple on the 12th of nov and it was expected delivery between 2-3 weeks as I'm nearing the end of the 3rd week which will end on the 3rd of dec would it be realistic to assume my iphone will be here before the 3rd?

What shows here for you:

@caesarome 

Just comes up with this: 

Did you get the help you need?

Thanks for checking online first. Getting in touch might take longer than usual, but we’re prioritising calls from customers who’ve already been online. Thank you in advance for being kind and considerate to our team.

On the Sky app it says 'Currently on back order' 

[caesarome]

It is probably saying back order as there are major delays on all things iphone on all networks so not just Sky as this is down to issue's at Apple's factory in China being closed and now working at a reduced output due to Covid:

"We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products." - Apple

[vixonss]

Oh, I've heard about the lockdown didnt realise it was affecting Apple at all. Would you happen to know or have any idea on when shipments should start coming through? I was hopefully expecting to have the phone before the 10th ideally as another family member has ordered directly from apple and they have an expected delivery date of the 22nd of dec.

Not a clue as I am a customer like you so I don't think any supplier including Sky can say for sure about these shipments.

[vixonss]

Just thought i'd update in case anyone was wondering, looks like sky have received a shipment and i got an email today telling me to expect my phone tomorrow so others may have their phones coming too
