@Theboynorm Attention to their contract swap 24 is 36mo credit and Swap 36 is 48mo credit and doesn’t give you the same flexibility as refresh! And if you select payment breakdown the RRP is over £100 more expensive than O2. A few days can save you some quids

hard to be patient when we do not get any updates to the orders.

First time I’ve had to wait for a new device in 10 years.

Sky have gone from being 1-2 weeks on all models to having them all in stock for immediate delivery.

 

im prepared to have patience with O2 when stock problems are across the board but they clearly aren’t.  Apple themselves have gone from a month to a week.  Sky have gone from 2 weeks to in stock.

 

vodafone and O2 have vague availability.

 

as said before, exactly what does more than four weeks mean?  O2 need to be more transparent.

Apple stores are far from being well stocked on 12.9 inch ipads so as frustrating as it is I think we should be patient.

Is it 4 weeks + from the time of placing the pre-order, or from the time of release date? Some of the eager beavers might already be receiving theirs, I'm thinking if it is 4 weeks from release date, then that is at least the 5th of December.wink

Absolutely NO guarantees, but from experience those dates tend to be worst case estimates, based on what O2 are told by Apple - Who like to under promise and over deliver.

You might dare to be a little bit cautiously optimistic
