UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Seriously peeps, step away from the flight tracking sites!

It's not a conspiracy, it's just a popular consumer product. It'll get to you when it's good and ready. Hitting refresh every 2 minutes to see if it's cleared customs yet will only increase your blood pressure.

Can anyone recommend a Lightning Adapter? My £2 ebay one won't work with my iPhone 6

I use Amazon Basics ones once the Apple one gives up the ghost, 3 lengths and 2 colours, they last a lot longer than cheap eBay ones and a lot cheaper than Apples ones.

Did anyone buy AppleCare+? I rushed to get the phone when I pre ordered so didn't get anything with it but now I'm considering getting it.

Can I just ring up and buy it? I don't need to go to the Apple Store now that I have the phone do I?

Haha

That's what UPS email alerts were created for.

Obsessively stalking flights that might possibly maybe have a Phone a bit like the one you ordered on it suggests you need help from a medical professional.

No no, adapter. 30pin.

Haha I think I do need help

I'm being so impatient to get my new phone.

Oh, I wouldn't use one... only the Apple one seems to work well and it's huge/hideous. Buy 3 other actual lightning cables for the same price and have a much better experience and just give up trying to use the old spare 30-pin cables you have.

It's only a phone. It's like my iPhone 4, just a bit bigger, a little thinner, somewhat lighter and a lot faster.

Guess I got lucky with a hassle free store reservation the day after the online store started quoting 3-4 weeks!

Just curious, do these pop up the "unsupported accessory" message like some of the eBay cables?

If you don't get it when you buy phone it has to be seen in a store before you buy or you have to run a diagnostic programme before it can be activated

Never had that message, both me and the girlfriend use them, think I have 6 total here... prefer dedicated ones in the car/laptop bag. Don't get me wrong... they still die eventually but they are a lot more rigid than Apple's one and don't start to fray near the connector as easily.

Had some cheap eBay ones, even went with the braided ones, barely last 2 weeks.

But I need them. I have an AV receiver which I play(ed) music through, 30pin attachment, and my car stereo has a built in 30pin.

Can they not do a diagnostic over the phone cause it says this:

How to get AppleCare+
Add it to your shopping basket during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPhone.
Buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase. Your iPhone purchase date is the date we ship and charge you for your order:
At an Apple Retail Store (requires inspection of your iPhone and proof of purchase)
By calling 0844 209 0611 or 0800 107 6285 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

Buy a genuine Apple 30 pin adapter. Some knock offs don't provide all of the functionality that the Apple one does. You can get them on eBay for less than full RRP - for example, item no. 271408075116.

Oh how I would love my conspiracy theory to be true.

I see the my order status is down on the apple store.

Im hoping that they are now allocating the fresh stock that is due in soon.

Then maybe they can think about bumping up my del date! I can't wait till the 10 oct. Its killing me

No, they (Amazon Basics cables) meet Apple's compatibility requirements and are certified compatible - look for the Made for iPod / iPhone / iPad label. So they won't cause any pop-up warnings.

They will 100% work and audio quality won't be compromised? Thanks for the item number.

You're welcome

If you want to be 100% certain that they're authentic, buy from Apple. Those should definitely work fine.

My colleagues phone left Korea on the 19th at 11:52am and arrived in Almaty at 3:05pm

The same plane that went from Korea to Almaty a few hours ago just took off from Almaty for Warsaw! Hopefully we get more scans showing up any minute.
