Can't seem to preorder iPhone 8 Plus 256GB or 64GB and pick up at store... Did they just ran out of pre-order pick up stock? or they just don't allow pick up since few days before release in store.
 
any suggestion for case and screen protector....planning on getting spigen case at progadgets...they dont have screen protectors yet.
 
Thanks heaps, this Kiwi will just have to get used to being totally out numbered :)
Just have to think of the iPhone X as a Xmas present as no doubt we won't be getting them any time soon.

For which model?

These aren't available yet (I've emailed them about the X & awaiting a response), but I've used them for years. There's a bit of a technique to applying the screen protector (instructions in the package), but they're great once applied. They're gel-like, so if you get any small scratches, the screen 'heals' & you'll forget about them.

They even have case-fit ones that are slightly smaller, to accomodate a case.

Not sure, I was looking at the Watch 3 and I can't do pickup from the Apple Store Friday for that either, strange.
 
Looks like mine is going to be here for Friday!

Ordered a Spigen Liquid Crystal off the US store after I pre-ordered the phone, used them on previous phones and have been happy. For the screen protector, winged it with an iPhone 7 HODA tempered glass (hopefully will line up fine), had one on my 6s and held up great.
 
Good news the 8 which i have coming tomorrow is a Telstra blue tick phone. Not the 8 plus, same as 6S series.
 
Has anyone who has ordered from the Apple Store directly seen their order status progress past 'Preparing for Shipment'?
I placed two orders, one for a 8plus and the other for the Watch 3 wifi - both have dates of 22/09/17 for delivery.

Cool, I figured as much. Last iPhone I ordered was the 6 and I'm pretty sure there was a way to work out your UPS shipping details from your order number or mobile number. I guess I was spoiled then.
Thanks!
 
Optus just let me know my phone will be available tomorrow. I preordered in store on Saturday morning. 8+ 256 SG
I'm waiting on that blessed message from Vodafone at the moment! Have been watching my 8+ just be sitting at the Sydney airport for the last 36 hours... I gather it will be flown out tonight for delivery tomorrow, like with my previous purchases.

Sadly I can’t get it until Saturday as it’s in my wife’s name (I’m a temp resident)

Arrived this morning! space gray looks great although I have a case for it too so less of a concern. Fast performance and the camera is great from early testing (although my previous standard is 5s so...)
Lucky you! Mine is showing as onboard with driver for delivery.
