Not likely on the colour change - only if they have walk-in stock available which is looking very unlikely for a plus outside the few they have for the queue-ers.
But changing to iPhone Payments will be absolutely fine

Pretty sure the updates on the orders seem to happen between 8 and 8:30 am. Might not be right but all my updates happened in this time frame

Many people have had it confirmed that there are no walk ins, you're the only person that keeps angling that there might be walk in stock.
Interesting.
I won't be restoring from back up, hopefully I'll figure out a way to restore health data alone!
Damn! I ordered my plus from O2 in UK and the delivery date at the time was the 16th. Guess I'll need to keep my fingers crossed.
I have an 8.15 upgrade reservation on Friday so I'm going to ask about a colour change. Not the end of the world if they can't, I'm just not really a 'pink phone' girl!
As I've stated before we have no chance of getting our black pluses from very
Possibly but I would have thought any regular account holder with Very would be using credit facility, so not a huge influx of upfront cash.
I placed my order more as a punt than anything, I have used them a lot in the past few years and in all fairness they have never let me down, be it a launch PS4 or the new MacBook last year. If i get lucky and do in fact recieve my order then great but if not I have my Apple Store reservation so either way I don't lose out
Like all things if you use some sense it's a handy way of splitting payments over 3 months interest free
I could see this. Does anyone know if Europe are having the same plus drought?
The gold is the easiest to make. That's what Rene Ritchie from imore said. However I think that the blacks will be the most popular because they are new and black is always popular anyway.
And to be fair to apple, they never release inventory details.. EVER
And about being transparent? The delivery dates were all there to see when we all pre-ordered.
Apple said we could pre-order from last Friday, which we all did. They also said they deliver FROM this Friday.
Yes we all get annoyed at not being able to get onto the apple store inside the first 5 minutes of it going live and when we can't get our hands on our shiny new toys the instant they are release; but it's the same every launch, every year.
Maybe im getting too long in the tooth and been through too many of these get sucked into the hyperbole generated or maybe I just need my morning coffee!
JUST GIVE ME MY DAMN JET BLACK + NOW!!

Anyone got moment on in-store pickup yet. I'm still on processing. Though should have to ship today, to be at store early hours Friday morning.
Too be fair this year has been particularly bad. Normally there is at least launch stock of all models.
This year has been a farce.
My Apple Watch last year was dispatched from China 24hrs before being delivered to my home in UK. Don't panic if things don't move today - tomorrow is moving day for most!
I can't remember where I read it, but going back to my chemistry and design-technology days at school, silver, gold and rose gold as colours are much easier to anodise than black.
That's why Apple switched from slate-black on the iPhone 5 to space grey. Slate-black iPhone 5 had horrendous finish quality - I had to go through 8/9 units in a store before I found one that wasn't chipped/poorly anodised straight out of the box.
I'd dare say the yields on matte black and jet black, along with the rumour of dual camera difficulties have compounded to make the Plus phones even trickier in manufacturing this year.
To get back health data and other sensitive data you will need to have an encrypted back up on iTunes or just icloudInteresting.

thanks.2yrs ago when the 6+ was launched I couldn't wait the 3 weeks I'd slipped to get mine so I literally camped out at the Trafford Centre and I gout the phone I wanted on launch day.
Do still allow this??

Can only order 1 at £1 I think.Might aswel order both, they're only £1 each
I've got the 0.33mm coming tomorrow as it was on prime.
Yes but as has been covered on here there won't be any stock of black pluses (if that's what your after) I'm afraid
