So pissed off! Apple are now charging more in Europe than the UK, thanks to the exchange!
And even more in Italy thanks to some shady deal with phone providers plus our "we-known-you-will-pirate-music-so-we-will-charge-you-in-advance-even-if-you-aren't-actually-pirating-anything-because-we-want-more-money-from-you" tax on storage memory.

And if things go on like this we will get a new shiny Digital Tax so I don't want to start thinking how much more Apple will charge us o_O

I'm very happy for these countries, but would be much happier with my selfish hat on if Apple looked like they might despatch the 6s Plus I ordered here in the UK on 13 September. I know, I know, have patience!

Who has patience when waiting for new tech toys?! I'm with you.
 
What i don't understand on release day why people don't just order for store pick up. Waiting 4 or 5 weeks just to get it delivered to your home seems crazy. I'll be picking up my iPhone6s at 8clock when the Apple Store opens on friday.

Err, maybe because many people have more important stuff in their lives than a new iPhone? I only reserved for pickup because I will be in the city anyway, and taking a 15min detour to the Apple Store won't kill me. Otherwise I would have ordered online and happily waited 5 weeks.

P.S. If the line is longer than 15min, I am not waiting :D
 
I must say I also much prefer this system than the queuing up and waiting in-line in the early morning. I just found it strange that the only way I found the reservation link was thanks to this article. I couldn't find any "reservation link" on the Swiss French website... strange!

In any case, I look forward to picking up my iPhone this Friday. Hopefully these Touch ID button heating issues and turning off problems will be fixed in a software update soon.
 
I placed a reservation yesterday for a 6S at the store in Brussels. I had no intention to upgrade from the 6, but as my iP6 was stolen while on vacation in August...

I hope they let me buy a Watch while I'm there too.

I fully understand that, but the people i was referring to is the ones that is complaining delivery takes to long.
