Advice regarding iPhone 17 Pro Max bought from the Apple

I bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max from the Apple website, and DPD (courier) were supposed to deliver it on Saturday. I waited all day for it, but it was never delivered. In the evening I checked the DPD app and saw the tracking had been updated to say "the parcel is being being return to the sender", even though no delivery attempt was ever made.

I contacted Apple yesterday and they said they were sending a replacement, but the estimated delivery is end of May/beginning of June, which feels way too long to wait. I called Apple again today and they said they're going to investigate whether the original phone can be redirected back to me instead of being returned to Apple, so I hopefully won't have to wait until the end of May for the replacement.

At this point I'm wondering if this is a sign to just cancel the order altogether and buy it elsewhere or in-store instead. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'm worried the parcel may have been tampered with, especially since DPD never actually attempted the delivery. I've read a few horror stories online about people receiving opened parcels with no phone inside, so it's definitely made me a bit paranoid about having the parcel redelivered.

Looking for a tight fitting case that feels nice in the hands. Any recommendations?

Hi all,

I know this question has probably been asked to death but I have to ask again.

I am looking for a case that offers good protection, has a tight fit all around the case and feels nice to hold in the hands.

I have tried the Caudabe Sheath and dBrand Grip, but I disliked the rough, sandpaper like feel that both cases have.

I have also tried the Phone Rebel Gen 7, but top of the case is too loose and that put me off.

Are there any other cases that you think I could try?

Hi all,

I recently upgraded and went with the iPhone All Rounder plan. I chose Apple Music as my inclusive extra and a text was sent to my Android phone to link my Apple ID to Apple Music.

My question is, since I do not have the link on my new iPhone 17 Pro Max (the text was sent to my Android phone), how can I get Apple Music to work without the link?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and went with the All Rounder Plan.

Is there anyway to upgrade to Apple One? As I only took out the contract a couple of days ago, I know I can return the phone, do the upgrade again and go with the Full Works, but I can't be bothered with all the hassle of sending the phone back and doing the upgrade all over again.
