I ordered through Spark and I just got my tracking number at 9am.

Were you notified by email or txt message?

Both, but no updates on the tracking number yet.

Any fellow 2degrees orderers here? I haven't received anything in the way of confirmation yet.

Good news everyone, I received an email from 2degrees shortly after posting the above. Now obsessively refreshing the CourierPost tracking page!

Or just setup email reminders? With a recent parcel I got four email reminders as every time it was scanned they sent me an update and I could see exactly where it was. Irritation was only on the morning my phone was due (new 4me iPhone 6s) the email said 'out to delivery' at 6:30am and was only delivered at 11:30 🙄

In a word, incredible. I never once ran out of battery when I had the 6+ (or as I called it, the iPad nano).

So are we talking 2 days battery life?

I like phones with long battery life or really fast charging (this is why i currently have a op3 with dash charging).

I was getting around 2 days from my 6S+ until i paired it with my Apple watch and started playing Pokemon Go!

In other words battery life depends on usage.

That said it is improved in the 7 and 7+

Hmmm it's nearly 8pm and my Apple order for a 7 128 GB gold is still just showing preparing for shipment. And it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

Same story here with the 7+ Matte Black.

I'm not very happy about this at all. It's not Apple's fault that the local courier contractors are hopeless, barely literate and known to sign for items that are not properly delivered etc. But they are representing to me that my item will arrive tomorrow, yet I have very little confidence that it will arrive. Do I work from home or do I go to work in the office and risk missing my item and having the local courier contractor shaft me?

Just saw a tweet on Twitter from Spark that suggests that Spark has had no iPhone 7 plus models of any type allocated to them. Has anyone had tracking details from Spark for a plus model of any kind? I ordered the Matte black 7 Plus 256GB and haven't received any tracking emails or texts yet.

Same for my matte Black 7 128GB, and it's now 8:43pm. Will be a bit annoyed if I don't get it until Monday.

I had the same situation last year and the next day which was the phone launch day the courier guy showed up at 7.37am. So wait and watch I say.
