Yes we both saw the dead pixel!
They arranged to replace screen saying come back after an hour. But they ran a diagnostic test on the phone and it was from there it said needs to be sent to depot quoting 5-14 days!!
Got a tip for us?

Just seen that, maybe they're gradually adding stock and started with rose gold... wishful thinking
So how are people, including me, getting repairs for free?
...well, my order status now shows this:
Because it's a goodwill repair. It's far easier to pacify moaning customers who flap on about their "rights" as a consumer than to argue with them.
I've got the same delivery window for a 7+ 128 black and I'm really hoping it doesn't change as I'm in Paris for work the week before, so if mine moves you can have my slot
What model and colour? Sounds like good news!
I have reserved a gold 7+. First preference like other people was Jet black but this was my second choice. Still hopeful my jet black 7+ Very order will come through but if not then I'm happy
Haha, very good!
I haven't argued one bit. They repaired it three times already without me even asking it to be done for free!
All I've said is I expected Apple products to last more than 3-4 years, with the amount of money I paid for them. They said that the repair will be free.
Edit: Nevermind that it's been the same bloody problem three times in a row!
Precisely! So you've got it done for free without even mentioning consumer law. So you benefited from Apple's great customer service, not the law.
And for the record, yes I do think Apple products should last for a long time and in my experience they do. All I'm saying is no one has some right to a screen that lasts for longer than the warranty period enshrined in law.

Completely off topic, but Amazon Prime customers can pre order Amazon Echo for £99 rather than £149 just for these two days:

Looks quite good - one of those gadgets that you don't really need but can be cool to have and use from time to time. Plus, it will eventually work with Sonos integration!

Same as me
Very likely, so you could get shipment notification as late as Thursday night!
"UNLOCKED" on the availability matrix means the phone is marked as available for standard reservations, but not iPhone Upgrade Program or iPhone Payments Plan reservations.
Looking at the code behind Apple's reservation system, this means those phones will be available for standard reservations when that system is unlocked (which it says will be 6am on Saturday) - but they're not available for iPP, which is classed as a "CONTRACT" phone plan type.

Lucky you mine is stagnant on processing

If you set up your
account to receive order notifications, you''d get one for every step of the delivery. You can do this via the Account Settings within the App Store appAnd are therefore not able to be reserved now, but will likely appear on Saturday morning?
In a way it's like a sneak peek of the upcoming stock!
Thats odd, The start date for covers is the 9th Sept. It is normally the date it ships, not the date ordered
So Rene Ritchie was on mac break weekly this week. He said that the new black iPhones are the hardest to make and that the annodisation process takes about 18 hours. He indicated that he had been told this when he went to the Apple event last week.
Interestingly, I also ordered a Spigen screen protector for my 7+ from Amazon and it was delivered quite shattered (although the packaging looked okay from the outside). Odd. I returned it but haven't yet ordered another. Let me know if you do get a replacement Spigen one and if the replacement arrives intact. Thanks!
