My “manage”section still hasn’t updated still shows my current phone despite my contract ending. Ordered 16th am. Guess October for me it is 😂😂😂

Wow, I didn’t know you could choose between eSIM and SIM versions. It’s hard to believe this is true!

How come EE cancelled your AirPods Pro 3 order? My order just says:

”DPD: Sorry, your order is delayed. We'll email you once it's dispatched.”

However, I spoke to advisor via the app and they advised:

“I've reviewed your account since is a latest accessory your order has not been placed however I can order it now for you.”

“I've already reviewed your account however the order has not gone through your account that's why you've not received the accessory”

Neither of the above statements appear to be correct and I’m tempted to just cancel my (very much REAL) order and order from somewhere more reliable. Don’t like being mislead.

Well my bad for not knowing better but apparently the UK only received the sim slot variant of the phone that has the smaller battery.

CS wasn't even aware that a (slightly) higher capacity version with no physical sim tray existed and though esim in this context only ever thought it was normal sim capable phone using the esim incidentally, 

[cacoe]

It is a thing, google it, the 17 Pro's esim only hardware equiv battery is about 20% larger than non-esim, the 17 pro max gains about 8% - that can still equate to over an hours additional worth of usage or more depending on what you're doing.

TIL that this wasn't actually an option made to certain countries, Apple enforced esim in some markets and the sim variant of the phone in others. If you're in the US or Canada and a couple others, you can only get the slightly better esim variant of the hardware. 

Those in the UK and the rest of the world get iPhone 17 Pro Max Pleb Edition

Because my original order duplicated they were only supposed to cancel one but cancelled both. I’ve been told my order is now open sales & is due within 14 days. After being told Friday there’s no backlog. I’m tempted to order elsewhere too it’s so annoying

I had the same on my actual phone order, but they cancelled my original order and replaced (17th original order was 14th) so I was back of queued. I understand the frustration too.

Mine is still in the same stage. Preordered as soon as they opened on the Friday. EE didn’t process it til the Sunday. I’ve been told 3 different things now about delivery.

Walked into my local EE store still same they’re unsure when apple will deliver. I think i might be considering android!
