Near Ealing? How about IN ealing... well I live near Hanger Lane to be specific...
I ordered my black 128gb plus at 13:34 on Friday and I have the same 4 Oct to 10 Oct. i'd of thought mine would be a lot later than yours considering you ordered earlier?
Same, even tho mine says 27-29.
But strangely even the watch is still processing, no money taken or held, and says delivers the 16th.
Well this sucks balls. 08:03 here and no movement on the same phone.
did anyone in here manage to order a phone for in store pick up on the upgrade programme? I haven't seen/heard anyone in the UK be successful with it yet
I've just noticed that they've changed the buttons on the Apple leather cases, wonder why they've done this?
Hello gang, just thought I'd share my experience to date, seems similar to many - I ordered about 08:15 on 09/09, I wanted the 128gb Black 7 Plus, but I could see they were already 2-3 weeks dispatch so went up to the 256gb which was still showing as 6-8 days dispatch at the time.
On checking out it was still saying 6-8 days dispatch, but 'delivers on' was 27-29 Sept...
Since my original order, I've subsequently checked my orders and can see the 'Delivers' has changed to 20-22 Sept as shown. I see in the forum some peoples 'Delivers' has changed and some hasn't. Definitely a bizarre and inconsistent approach from Apple.
I did call Apple (30min wait) because I saw my shipping was 'standard shipping', and I wanted to ask if they could change to like... 'better than standard' (I didn't see any alternative delivery options when I ordered, but I wasn't sure)... Bodrick@Apple who I spoke to said they can't change anything after the order has been placed.
I assume they only offer 'standard shipping'?

the previous case wore away quite a lot, eventually the button would be smooth and was a bit harder to tell what you were pushing and if it was registering
Sorry if this has already been mentioned but has it been confirmed that Apple are taking payment from those customers who have reserved phones for pickup in store?
My friend was charged last night for ones he's picking up on Friday and to make it worse, they've taken it from his default card register with his account.
This is what he said:
Just called Apple and they said that the process has changed this year. They had problems last year with people reserving them and then bothering to go in and buy them, so it's first come first served with payment this year.
Not sure many people aware if this is the new process.

Same here as well no activity on my credit card at all and it's still processing as well. Usually the amount is allocated but nothing yet. I preordered a case from Tuff-Luv and they've processed that already.
Yep. Loads still available too on the standard colours. No chance for Plus or the new blacks. I got the 128gb 7 in Jet Black
this is super handy to read! Do you know what stock milton keynes got? May have to keep waking up early and hoping MK gets more. looking to get the 7+ 128 in black.
(does this mean the actual time was 7:46 AM)
Yes, in-store pickup is charging before collection.
However you can still reserve an iPhone without an upfront payment if you haven't got the cash available immediately (like me).
You do this by reserving for the iPhone Upgrade Programme, and then on arrival asking to change it to full upfront payment in-store.
yeah I've seen that now, on launch though i could not find the in store pick up without paying anywhere, sadly once apple could talk to me all the 7+ had gone.
I did around 08.30 on Friday Morning. A 128GB Rose gold 7 plus. I cancelled it because my home delivery order is moving along and is due for delivery on Friday. Also I don't want to do the upgrade programme, I just want to buy my phone out right.
Ah that makes a lot of sense since the buttons on my 6 case are now very flush.
Yes. I eventually figured this out. I've reserved one and I've been charged. I guess they've changed the process so you can't just reserve one and then not turn up. Once you pay, you're pretty much forced to go and collect it.
