Woohoo!

Just had a call from Apple in Austin, Texas to confirm my order. Payment is now showing as pending from my Halifax account. Shouldn't be long before it prepares for dispatch, I hope...
Out of interest what did you order? I heard they only call when you spend over £2k.
 
When I ordered it I used Apple Pay through the card on my account, I've just used same card to try and put it through normally and it's still saying it's 'failed'!
 
I am in the same boat. Have canceled on Saturday, but if it comes thats fine. I will keep it as this is the black one I wanted. I will get my silver on Friday from Apple. I had silver before so not bothered.

You can simply refuse to accept the delivery and it will go straight back.

Same for me as well, I have ordered 2 x 7 Plus 256GB Black, which will get delivered on Sat 17th.

I am keeping both of mine and not concerned about if it locks to the first sim I put in it, as in 12 months time if I move to another carrier, I will pay the ~£10 if required to unlock it, which it wont anyway.

Just accept the delivery and be happy :)
[doublepost=1473695530][/doublepost]Just received my Dispatched Notification email for my 2 x Black 7 Plus Leather Cases, which will be delivered tomorrow (13/09)

I did have 2 x 256GB 7 Plus Black phone, but cancelled them for very.co.uk (arrives 17/09), as I was quoted 27th-29th.

My original email order time from Apple was 08:11 (Midlands based)
 
First year I haven't had the iPhone on launch day. Was 27-29 but bumped this morning to 20-22 which isn't so bad. 7 Plus Black 128GB email at 8:09

Case and Dock both dispatched a day earlier than stated

Are able to choose a time slot to pick up a reserved iPhone this year? "Designated time" sounds like Apple give you a time, rather than you choosing your own time? Or is it still like last year when you choose a certain time frame?

Yeah there's a few of us who've moved to the same mate.

I'm still adamant that if Apple ones don't ship then the very ones won't. But very happy to be proved wrong :D

You choose a fifteen minute slot from the available ones.

You pick a 15 minute slot just like last year, no matter which reservation method you pick.
 
Nope, I mean a store has a allocation of stock for customers.

It doesn't matter if you're paying online for a reservation (new this year!) or if you're reserving via the iPP program, or just a standard reservation (which will be available from 6am Saturday) - it all comes out of the same pool of phones, so you are guaranteed what you reserve

At least that's the current working theory based on availability data. That could change this week if people start getting shipment notifications for the in store reservations with unique tracking numbers - my theory is we'll see anyone who paid online go to "ready for pickup at pickup time" rather than a shipment notification.

Is your availability tracker live...? So seems that some stock is being made available approx 6.46 every day? So if I check your tracker that time each day it will be up to date? Beats checking all the stores manually obviously!
 
So I tried to cancel my very order but they are saying to too late even though I did it Saturday.
So the question is, is it that much of a nightmare to have a phone which locks to the first sim and getting it unlocked?

Not that much but some carriers charge and you need to go through the hassle of unlocking if you want the best resale/trade in price. Am getting £405 (+5%) from Envirfone for my unlocked 6s 128gb. If it was locked to EE, Orange, T-Mobile or VOdafone I'd get only £340. O2, Three and Tesco I'd get £390. Virgin is a horrendous £275!!!!!!

Just had another look KRCS has iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for sale with 3 - 7 Day delivery for everything

I'm pretty sure if you put a tesco sim card in it'll lock to Tesco.

Its if it locks O2 does it for free, i was on contract for 2 years and in may i unlocked it so i could get a bit more money for it

KRCS looks almost like a fake site- am sure it not but its pretty basic. Anyway I don't think the 3-7 days is a message for the iPHone I think it is their standard delivery quote (same on say an iPad Air. If you look to the the top of the description for each iPhone it states Limited stock available from September 16th. Your order will be updated with stock availability information as we have it.


I've never heard of these, do you believe them? If so I'd re-order a jet black 128 plus

No - and I don't think they mean you get the phone in 3-7 days - see my comment above.

It's delayed up to 60 seconds, or less at times where interesting things happen (like 6:46am!)

Fingers crossed that some of us that haven't got it dispatched get there iPhone sent out this week

Still no update on my cases stuck on Preparing for dispatch with one of them stuck on Processing Items
 
Been charged at 8:30 this Morning for in stock pickup. Though still on processing. And not showing in support profile yet. Any ideas on how long it takes to change to preparing to dispatch anyone?
 
I am in this boat!

Let's hope it gets bumped. I doubt VERY much that we will see them Friday.

Nah I'm not expecting Friday at all. I'll be happy with end of September to be honest. Wish I'd gone with a matte black now to be honest but will get my Jet Black and see how I feel. You know as soon as we get our phones they'll become easy to get as that's always the case :D

We're not sure what's going to happen here yet, but I don't think it'll show up in your profile before you pick it up, and it might not even ship, it might just change straight to "ready for collection".
