The iPhone 15 Pro orders are delayed until October 2
Another model which has been hit by huge demand and delivery delays is the iPhone 15 Pro.
Apple’s site now states delivery between September 27 and October 2 even though shoppers who don’t pre-order today will in theory be able to walk in-store and buy a model next Friday, September 22.

iPhone Pro Max hit with huge order delays
It’s the return of iPhone 14 issues as certain iPhone 15 Pro models are appearing to have much longer pre-order dates, a hint that UK stock is dwindling. So if you have your eye on the model we’d reccommend acting quick.
One of our team has ordered a shiny new iPhone 15 Pro Max for herself but when at the checkout the delivery date has jumped from September 22 to dates between October 9-16, that’s at least 18 days later than usual.

Tips for finding the best deal
Our Mirror Tech Editor has shared his tips for pre-ordering an iPhone 15 today, especially if you’re unsure which network to go for. And after seeing the devices for himself live from Apple Park in California it’s only right we share.
Tips for buying an iPhone 15 from a Tech Editor:
- Check the amount of mobile data you’re using each month, there’s no point paying for an unlimited allowance if you only use 5GB each month on average
- Check the amount of storage you’re using on your current phone, it might be tempting to save money today – but it’ll cost you in the long run with cloud storage subscriptions
- How often do you travel? Only a couple of networks still offer free EU roaming these days, if you’re a frequent flier these charges can quickly stack-up so it can be cheaper to pay more for a network that doesn’t charge to access your minutes, texts, and 5G data abroad

Currys shares crucial iPhone 15 delivery warning
As we were uncovering the prices listed below we spotted a key note on Currys site, and it could be the difference of getting your new iPhone 15 on time or not.
All pre-orders today will be dispatched for delivery on (or after) September 22. For many shoppers it’s hoped the device will arrive on the official sale day (Spetember 22) but there is always the change in small print it could arrive a few days later, which isn’t ideal.
Currys states that shoppers ordering more than one iPhone 15 should do separate pre-orders and purchases to increase the chances of both devices arriving on time.

Sky is giving away double data
WOHOO the first freebies are starting to trickle in on iPhone 15 pre-orders and Sky Mobile has slashed the price of its data.
The provider has brought a deal on all iPhone 15 adjacent data packages, meaning you’ll pay half and get double the amount of data. For instance, it’s 8GB package is now the price of 4GB at £8 a month.

Three has some big upfront costs
The Three site is back up but definitely being glitchy with the huge surge of demand, so we’ve not managed to get a detailed look at contracts just yet.
But we do have an idea of te starting price for each iPhone 15 series handset, and they are:
- iPhone 15 from £30 a month with upfront £30
- iPhone 15 Plus from £32.75 a month and £40 upfront
- iPhone 15 Pro from £35 a month and a £50 upfront cost
- iPhone 15 Pro Max for £40.75 a month and £60 upfront fee
You can pre-order one of the new devices from Three Mobile here.

Better news for EE shoppers
Unlike Three, EE’s site is up and running and its prices are in. Plus there’s good news for full unlimited data users, take a look.

Three is down
I tried to look at the pre-orders on Three Mobile’s site to get a glimpse of the prices and it immediately crashed. We’ll keep you updated if you’re looking to order from here, as its prices are yet to come in to.
13:15Harriet Morphy-Morris
O2’s prices are in….. and a bit more expensive
Now moving onto the next network, O2, who’s prices are slightly on the higher side.
O2 is slightly more expensive than the likes of Sky Mobile and will charge £42 for the iPhone 15 (with only 1GB of data). The iPhone 15 Plus starts from £45, the iPhone 14 Pro from £48 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max from £54.

Vodafone is shouting about the new Apple Watch
With all talks revolving around the iPhone 15 series don’t forget that the shiny new Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are also up for pre-ordering today. And Vodafone have you covered.
We don’t know prices yet but we do know they’ll stock it.
12:33Harriet Morphy-Morris
What are other networks saying?
Only Sky Mobile has released its pricing so far but that doesn’t mean the iPhone 15 won’t be available at other well known networks. In fact the opposite, as six popular retailers have pre-order landing pages raring to go.

iPhone 15 pre-order day
Today’s the day Apple’s shiny new iPhone 15 range will be available to pre-order.
Yes that’s right, you will be able to buy one of the four new devices to arrive at your door ahead of the official in-store sale date. It’s perfect for eager shoppers who want to get their hands on the newest Apple device.
For many shoppers it’s a chance to bag a data deal or even a free tech accessory (which we could see today).
