Anyone else still waiting for an iPhone 12 Pro Max from mobiles.co.uk?

Hi guys, I ordered an iPhone 12 Pro Max on 27 November from mobiles.co.uk and it was initially said to arrive by 12 January, some time later I got an email to say that it was expected by end of January and more recently an email to say by end of February.

I've called them a few times and they have said that they get small batches in and send them out in order of who placed orders. Is stock really that bad?

One annoyance with them is, after my order, my wife placed EXACTLY the same order for herself. She received the same initial email about a new date of end of January, but a couple of weeks ago she got an email to say her phone was dispatched and it came the next day. I ordered my one before hers, how strange is that!?

Anyone else waiting?

It will be an old model by the time you get it!

If buying sim-free from Apple online directly, the 12 Pro Max (128gb) is currently showing a delivery time frame of 10-14 days. If you're buying sim-free then maybe cancel your mobiles.co.uk order and buy from Apple directly? Otherwise it seems mobiles.co.uk are ordering the 12 Pro Max in dribs and draps, kind of down to pot luck as to when you will receive it.

Jeez tell me about it! A shame because my usual 2 year upgrade comes up nicely just after the new iPhones announcement. In 2 years time I now have to wait couple of months!

I'm actually paying a big lump sum up front and a small monthly payment with Vodafone, it actually works out to be a pretty good deal over 2 years when you take the phone cost out of it. It would be great if vodafone directly allowed larger up front payments with small monthly payments, I don't want to pay £70 plus per month I'd rather pay a big chunk up front. Mobiles.co.uk seem to do these deals the best.
