Apple iPhone 17 thread

How the F do they just change the date and only inform us on the day it’s expected to be delivered.

Seriously frustrating.

Same with me, takealot next day collection, thinking whether to go to the malls and check if they have stock this sucks

Stock is very limited.
Colours for the regular 17 is also mainly mist blue in stock at stores

Silver isn't as bad as I thought... wondering if they really will release a black in Dec/Jan eish

Gives iPhone 6 vibes

Spoke to iStore Online and they said stock of iPhone 17 will only be available in a weeks time :/

 

[SpiderGear]

They have arrived!

Pay more for less

Literally every other manufacturer doing the same thing, no-one bats an eyelid.

My brother got a better trade in deal at Incredible and they had stock of the Black 17.

Trade in was 2K more than the iStore.
Received a 1K Incredible voucher
Free AirTag
Free screen protector

So irritating, pre ordered from TakeAlot the iPhone 17 Black 256gb and it was due to be delivered today and suddenly today it changed to say delivery by Monday. So much for getting it on the day.

Exact same thing happened to me - I even opted, and forked out, for the 'best' delivery option, hoping it would push it closer to the top of the stack for delivery. Guess not.
The email I have of my pre-order still says 'expected today' - no updates from Takealot, no comms, nothing? Really diminishes any confidence I had in them.

Did you get any comms regarding the R1500 voucher?

Niks, nada, nothing. I didn't even know about that until I went back to see its stock availability.

No news here either. No sign of the phone too

I'm also waiting to hear if I made the cut for my upgrade or if I've been added to the dreaded waiting list
