Slightly more trivial, but did anyone manage to get one of the apple leather cases? I ordered one for the 7 on the 25th but it won't be delivered until the 7th-11th October. Must be a shortage of everything!

Mine should be delivered today after a mix up with UPS. It's was originally set for 6th-10th Oct but it's been delivered early.

Ordered 256GB 7+ Black on the 13 September, apple.ie saying delivers 5-10 Oct. Its been like that since it was ordered so hopefully the end of next week.

on to apple support and they have said its a bulk tracking code

any further news on this? Mine part of that DHL bulk code as well. Just checked now and last entry is Amsterdam cleared customs at 12.32 yesterday. Must have have been some further movement yesterday? Thought it would be in Ireland by now?

thanks. Might arrive tomorrow then. Hope they update that tracking number soon.

Mine just updated to Out for Delivery. I have no idea if this is in Ireland though as it still references Amsterdam. and no update to a local tracking ID.

Out for Delivery Tue, Sep 27, 2016 12:25"

Mine now changed to "Preparing handover to final carrier". Tracking number still not active.

If you have a Volkswagen you may have bluetooth problems with the 7, i keep having to connect it manualy sometimes which is a pain. I can't help feeling ( I don't know why) the 7 is a cheaper built 6s ( innards anyway), the 6s is a hard bet phone ( in an iPhone anyway) :-/

I has issues with bluetooth too, I have an Audi (and sure that's basically a VW ). I reset my bluetooth in the car and it connected no problem.

Micky 32

Reset as in disconnect and reconnect the phone ?

gfog

I believe if you clear your old phone's connection (there should be an option to delete or remove) from your car and reconnect your new one from scratch it should fix the problem.

I think it stems from restoring your new phone from the old one, seems to confuse most cars.

Finally Dispatched. When does the DHL tracking number become active?

Creamy Goodness

ahh bluetooth, the standard that's always getting better....



next year.

I believe the tracking number on the DHL website we are seeing is for the actual batch of iPhones coming from China.
Mine is now showing as delivered, which I am guessing is actually to another DHL office who will then split them down to forwarding to the individual customers.

Clear the car's bluetooth memory. Once I did that my phone connected without issue.

Status just changed on mine - no details but the option to cancel it is gone so it must have started processing.

As an aside the other phones on this order:
Jet Black 256GB 7+ is still showing november delivery
Jet Black 128GB 7 is still showing 12-25 Oct delivery

My sister has an 11 CC, I just deleted her iPhone 6 from the screens display, then paired her 7 and its been working perfect since, including music streaming to the radio.

I have an old ML jeep with a Parrot kit, and again, I just deleted my old phone from the parrot and connected the 7, no issues since, and them for my GF's BMW, although she has the iDrive built in to that car so that's factory Bluetooth, but again, no issue whatsoever.

My black 128 7+ is now dispatched, got text from Apple before lunch.
Still estimates 4th October with DHL express though.
Anyone know whether this is still accurate or a chance of earlier?

I would say you will only get day earlier, 3rd Monday, mine is dispatched since sat and still not here, hopefully tomorrow!
Looks like it takes 4 working day!

On the apple site mine has updated to out for delivery to customer with today's date for delivery? I guess that is to PM in the north so I might get it by tomorrow?

7 Plus 128G

My UPS tracker is saying that the phone is likely to be delivered this Friday, it was dispatched this morning, is that likely?

I would need to change the delivery address if it is as there is nobody home on Friday,

thanks

If they say Friday, it's 99% going to be Friday.

They must attempt delivery once before you can reschedule for a new address.

There is an option on the UPS page to 'change delivery', can I not change the address here, no?

I really doubt it. You can call them tomorrow but I'd be fairly sure they can only attempt delivery to the original address first.

Anyone else notice the iphone 7 not very smooth, stuttery when scrolling through messages, web etc?

Not at all, I've been using the 7 over a week now and haven't really noticed any lag whatsoever. Can't really say I've used messages much but I haven't noticed any lag with Safari and I use that quite a bit.

Same here, haven't noticed any lag.

Over in the US at the moment. Anyone seen anything on US vs UK/Ire version yet? Aside from warranty issue, any reason (i.e. GSM vs CMDA vs XYZ) that buying a US one for use on Voda / Three in Ireland would be a bad idea?

Has any other meteor customers got their 7 plus?
