Got an email from Select last night at 19:20 to say it had been despatched but as of now the DPD tracking has not updated beyond "received parcel data from sender" so my assumption is it will be Monday.

dave oc · 22-09-2023 8:53am

Select in swords had no walk in availability for any pros, but had some non pros (didn’t ask what types).

Harvey Norman airside has stock of pros for walk in with no pre order,

wiresandmore · 22-09-2023 8:56am

HN site now has stock availability - some stores showing limited stock even for PM models. Picking mine up today.

quarryman · 22-09-2023 9:00am

Mine was just delivered. Yay.

Harvey Norman Carrickmines have Black, Blue and White 512s in stock for walk ins.

Fwarder · 22-09-2023 9:11am

FYI select has them in stock. Walked out with 256 natural titanium....on apple I would have to wait mid November. Happy days!

quokula · 22-09-2023 9:12am

Harvey Norman's website is confusing, it lists stock as being in store and says collection orders will be ready for pickup within 2 hours if stock is in store, but then it also says for all the iphones that it's for preorder for a later date.

I've made an order for collection, fingers crossed I get an email to say I can pick it up at lunch. If not I may just try a walk in but it'll probably be too late by then.

Wizard23 · 22-09-2023 9:17am

Went into three shop today and they never even got a pro max in lol.

Rang select in swords and as above poster said "no walk in's" either.

I am going to liverpool for weekend and I even rang apple and they said there is no stock available there for the weekend lol.

Bloody Hell !!

quokula · 22-09-2023 9:22am

Got an email from Harvey Norman's that my order is ready to collect, that was simple enough.

I chose Blanchardstown for collection, looks like they've options left in a few stores still.

Marty Bird · 22-09-2023 9:24am

She has arrived.. 🥰

FourFourRED · 22-09-2023 9:36am

I’ve a bad feeling that UPS have come and gone. Knock on the door, dog barking and when I got downstairs 30 seconds later, nobody there 🥲

awec · 22-09-2023 9:41am

It looks like you could get a Pro today if you really wanted, but Pro Max appears to be available nowhere.

Wizard23 · 22-09-2023 9:47am

Rang HN in swords and the last 2 had just went..so rang carrickmines and got the last 512.. robbed!!! Lol.

Harvey Normans look like they do still have some if you check for store stock on their website for various colours and storage spaces. E.g. Pro Max 512GB in Blue is showing as available in Limerick and Carrickmines. I got one in Blanch about 45 minutes ago but that store is listed as out of stock now.

starlit · 22-09-2023 9:58am

Anyone able to get the iPhone 15 in a Vodafone shop rather than online I’m slow to order from them online I would have better luck with apple or Harvey Norman but doesn’t show availability for my area only other Munster locations says it’s low in stock.

Is it UPS deliver for apple directly? Any delays with delivery? Are those phones unlocked?

I have not used an eSim before or does it still have nano sim for the new iPhones or do you need a sim at all to transfer from another iPhone?

nhg · 22-09-2023 10:43am

Select order just arrived

Mimikyu · 22-09-2023 11:01am

Nothing from i-Connect since i ordered the other day. I also emailed them at the start of the week enquiring about their stock levels and no reply to that either.

filo87 · 22-09-2023 11:14am

Mine just came via UPS. Wasn't expecting it until much later. Courier was just leaving it at the front door when I got to the door. No signature or photo or anything!

I ordered from Select on Monday and as I said previously it was despatched and is in the hands of DPD. However a buddy of mine ordered a 15 Pro Max 256gb in black from them Wednesday afternoon and got an email yesterday saying it would be 4+ weeks for delivery. Different companies sure but perhaps it's similar across the board?

ibFoxer · 22-09-2023 11:16am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121142423#Comment_121142423

As a matter of interest when did you order and when did you receive the despatch email? I'm just wondering in case the DPD tracking just isn't updating, as has happened before, however unlikely.

corks finest · 22-09-2023 11:18am

Ohhhhh some couriers might take a fancy to a few 15s lads

When I ordered Select and Harvey Norman were showing the Pro Max back ordered but i-Connect didn’t have anything on their site about it being out of stock or waiting on stock.

I ordered a Pro Max and a regular 15. The regular 15 is showing in stock in Select and Harvey Norman at the moment.

Wolverine359 · 22-09-2023 11:40am

Beyond the influx of delivery updates here (that honestly not many of us care about, we just want ours and asap), how are the first hands-on impressions?

fjon · 22-09-2023 11:48am

Anyone know from previous years how soon the phones will be available via EPP? Does this happen at the same time as F&F?

TitianGerm · 22-09-2023 12:08pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121142714#Comment_121142714

What's EPP?

quarryman · 22-09-2023 12:24pm

First impressions good.

Lots of reviews were saying it’s noticeably lighter. It’s lighter but not in a “cheap” way which I was worried about. Still has a substantial feel to it.

120hz is amazing. Never had a phone with it.

3 cameras again. I’ve never going back to 2. Losing the macro camera on the iPhone mini sucked.

Shortcut button is handy. Maybe I’ll use it more over time for different uses.

Always On is cool. Looking forward to trying it as a bedside clock.

No regrets on picking black over natural titanium. I was in the mood for a dark phone again.

wiresandmore · 22-09-2023 12:33pm

From a 13PM to a 15PM - it’s slightly smaller, and slightly lighter - not quite as revolutionary as some suggested, but the curved edges are great and much more comfortable to hold. I might try and risk without a case, although I have a couple coming on order to try out.

Mine is Natural Titanium, thankfully it’s more grey than I expected, I was worried it might look slightly gold but it doesn’t at all (at least to my eyes). It’s a lovely finish.

I ordered mine last night from HN (showed ‘limited availability’ in local store) and got confirmation mail this morning at 9.45 for collection. Had to get 512gb vs 256gb but on a 2-year view, that’s probably ok.

Employee Purchase Program. Available as a benefit to some companies. Discounts are not as good as F&F, but better than nothing - iPhone discount would be 2%.

brevity · 22-09-2023 12:58pm

I took a look at our company's EPP and it's only the 14 range there at the moment.

Fwarder · 22-09-2023 1:12pm

First impressions : bloody heck, this thing is a fingerprint magnet even more than a shiny finish phone 😂

Coming from S23 Ultra (and working as a sw qual eng), there are a couple of "wtf? guys fix this" moments, but all in all alright 👍

BTW I got myself a tempered glass front+ camera protection and a clear case from JETech. They fit great! I ordered torras as well, but I ordered the small one.

Mine's transferring data now. Went from 14 Pro to 15 Pro Max, it's just perception but the Pro Max is much lighter in the hand than the 14 Pro than the scales suggest. The change in materials and the aluminium middle plate definitely help here. The rounded corners makes it super nice in the hand comparing both with no cases, the 14 Pro digs in a lot more but wouldn't be upgrading "just" for those reasons alone.

It looks super weird to have a USB-C port of the phone, 10 years of lightning is hard to forget. Everything else I haven't played around with yet as the phones are useless when transferring.

I think this is pretty normal now, or at least it has been for me.

It started during covid but I don't think I've ever had a courier wait for a signature since then.

pedatron · 22-09-2023 1:42pm

Got on to HN via email about a delivery update and they just responded with my invoice that had a tracking number on it. Nothing else. Inputting that into the DPD site it looks like they haven't got a parcel yet. I would have just done click and collect if I'd have thought there'd be a delay. I ordered the minute pre-orders started and assumed they'd post them out at least on the day of launch. I don't know when I'll get it now. Hope I'm not at the back of the line! 🤨

What huge problems to have! I know! Just looking forward to my new toy 😅

DHL who dropped off my phone an hour ago requested a signature, same for the case delivered a few days ago. It seems like they're definitely asking again since covid but I'm wondering if it's Apple that are requiring DHL to get a signature as I've gotten other DHL deliveries in the past few weeks with no signature collected even though it said "signature required" on the parcel.

filo87 · 22-09-2023 2:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121143246#Comment_121143246

Yeah, it is the norm nowadays but it just seems crazy to leave something so expensive and so coveted in full view at a front door. It's fairly obvious from the size of the box that it's a phone. DPD and Fastway deliver most parcels here and they would always leave parcels slightly obscured. No big deal, obviously, just I wonder do many parcels go missing on Apple?!

Got an OtterGrip case and screen protector for it (that arrived super fast) so looking forward to setting it up. Not brave enough to go caseless!

@FourFourRED, any luck getting yours? Did you definitely miss the courier?

Got a message this morning that mine was ready to be collected. I didn't order until 2.30-3 on the day of launch. Went in at 9.30 and out with phone by 9.40. Always use HN for pre-orders - good service.

murpho999 · 22-09-2023 3:12pm

Bloody hell lads, I thought this was a phone discussion thread not a courier tracker service?

KinsellaJ · 22-09-2023 3:14pm

Tried 4 shops and all sold out so looks like I’ll be just waiting the extra week.. could be worse!

Never remember having this much trouble trying to get one on release day.

Some of the official cases are reduced on Amazon.

digiman · 22-09-2023 6:06pm

Vodafone cancelled my order without telling me, so no new phone for me. Will be in the US in a couple of weeks so will hold off until then and save €250 instead, also would like to see the different colours in person as I’m thinking Natural Titanium over the Blue as my 14PM is already blue

FourFourRED · 22-09-2023 6:44pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121143491#Comment_121143491

Nope. Updated 2 hours later to say they couldn’t deliver 🙃 It will be Monday now but that’s fine. Disappointing that they wouldn’t wait more than 30 odd seconds though.

Better post something iPhone related in case someone gets angry.

KinsellaJ · 22-09-2023 6:59pm

Randomly, I got a declined notification from the bank for the iPhone. The sudden heart sink moment thinking they’ve cancelled my order. Checked my bank, for the other heart sink moment of did someone get access to my bank. Nope, no reason for funds to be declined. Logged onto the store and put the payment through again, no problem.

Still showing as delivery between the 27th Sept - 02 Oct.

Just keep in mind that the US version doesn’t have a physical SIM slot so only eSIMs will work with it.

It’s recommended you update the iPhone 15 to 17.0.2 before attempting to transfer data from your current iPhone. Think it’ll prompt you to update before the data transfer.

No update on my order from i-Connect. Kinda annoying because it seems the regular 15 was available for walk in or collection today in other stores and I don’t know when to expect either phone from them or if they even have stock. They changed their website to show all regular and Pro models as out of stock today at some stage with no indication of when they’ll be available.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121143285#Comment_121143285

I did the same via live chat and they weren't able to provide an invoice until it is being shipped so likely you'll be getting yours early next week. They also said they are hoping to have more stock early next week but didn't know for certain.

Wolverine359 · 22-09-2023 9:18pm

First impression of the 15 Pro after moving from the 14 Pro Max: it’s so small and tidy and light!! Will be checking my pocket frantically to see if I haven’t forgotten it pretty often I reckon, it’s that much lighter. I wanted to downsize after 2 years of the Pro Max, but I hope I don’t regret my decision and miss the bigger screen realestate.

I loved the smaller phones like the original 5s and first SE, and hung onto the those as long as I could before giving in to the 12 mini, before trying out the massive 13 Pro Max. I’m slightly worried I’ll miss that bigger screen after getting used to it, but having a phone that I can more comfortably manage in one hand will be a big plus. Pity I’ll miss out on the 5x optical zoom but having the pro features in a more compact device will be so nice.

Really good point, thanks for pointing that out as I had totally forgotten about that. I wonder how much that would effect resale value in Ireland next year?

kashfactor · 23-09-2023 5:20am

Pre-ordered 15 Pro Max 256GB Natural Titanium on the launch day in Select, got an email from Select yesterday that expected delivery is 4+ weeks. I think its happening for Pro Max particularly for Natural Titanium and 256GB specific ones. Its bad.

My sons 15 Pro Max 256GB Black Titanium ordered on launch day from Select was delivered by DPD yesterday morning

He was worried that the cameras would get damaged & phone wouldn’t sit flat when left down with way the cameras protruded from the phone case so bought an Ultra Slim Otterbox for it yesterday €40 which is perfect & gets rid of the fingerprint issue - colour doesn’t matter now as it can’t be seen with the otterbox

He upgraded from the 11 (which is still in it’s otterbox)

iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Ultra
