So after much thought and deliberation I decided perhaps 'Jet Black' was the wrong choice for someone with my apple OCD nature
Had a quick chat with apple support and had my initial order canceled
Have now placed a new order for the matte black option, hopefully negating the requirement for magic skittles and a jacket to hug myself with should I have encountered any of apples elusive 'fine micro-abrasions'
On the upside my delivery time has now moved from 27 Sep - 3 Oct to 23 Sep - 27 Sep (my assumption being this is down to the high demand for its glossy sibling)
Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated
Intersting to note that you were given a delivery window earlier to that given to those who ordered the same phone and specifications on the 9th (I was given a delivery window of 4 to 10 October - does this mean we should expect earlier delivery dates?)
