iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

jafacake310596 said:
Just spoken to 'Derek' from Apple, he says its unlikely any orders will shows as preparing for dispatch for anymore than 24hrs and that by tomorrow there should be tracking available and the phones should be dispatched, which means they should be here by Saturday or Monday at the very latest.

Apple iPhone 7, iOS 10, 4.7", 4G LTE, SIM Free, 128GB, Jet Black - INSTOCK (68)
Apple iPhone 7, iOS 10, 4.7", 4G LTE, SIM Free, 128GB, Rose Gold - INSTOCK (50)

From Saturday, you should use https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/GB/en_GB/reserve/iPhone/availability?channel=1 instead (unless you still want the iPP) 🙂

All pluses are listed as zero stock right now. They've only just started adding it. Also John Lewis seem to cache stock for up to an hour, so things might take hours to actually show properly.

off topic: has anyone in here used/got the smart charging case?

is it worth it? is it good?

also, did anyone go from a standard to a + phone, how was the change and is it worth it?

I'm going to be transitioning from 5.5 to 4.7 tomorrow after 2 years with a 6+. Enjoyed the screen size for some things, but I travel a lot and it was a bit impractical in the end. I'm sat looking at a battery case for the 7 which arrived already and have a couple of colleagues who use it for the 6s. They love it and very much looking forward to my battery starting at 216% everyday!

Re: Very.co.uk

This will make you all laugh ...

Looking at all the old posts, the following people had orders but have now cancelled due to the dates being pushed back:

stanleyboy - cancelled (order moved to 05/11) - [JB 7+ 128gb]
ukkey - cancelled (order moved to 05/11) - [?]
DrBlueBox - cancelled [?]
RazorD - cancelled - [JB 7+ ?]
Helen2016 - cancelled [?]

For me, I have the following still on order and have not had an email or text confirming that my order has been pushed back.

I have got two Royal Mail Tracking numbers which are valid and their website confirms that my delivery is still Sat 17th Sept:

2 x Black 7+ 256gb

Both Royal Mail tracking numbers state:

Status:
Please come back later

Who would like like to make a £5 charity donation bet (of their choice + screenshot proof of payment required) that they don't turn up? 🙂

The first one (with iPP=E) is for new iPhone Upgrade Program members. Your pick up slot will be allocated for a longer period due to the credit checks, etc, and likely to a different group of staff.

Without iPP=E it loads the standard reservation system, which will just be a quick in/out payment, phone, go deal 🙂

Oh i remember this link from last year

Think its only 2 your allowed to reserve i think.

But if you decide to change your mind you have to wait till the next day. As a message appears saying you reached your limit.

I remember reserving but then had to go to Manchester but couldnt reserve again in Trafford Centre so missed out.

If you try going in store they will ask for a reservation no walk ins.

Once demand dies down then reservation link no longer works.

Does anyone know how long I'm likely to have to wait at my Apple Store if I arrive for 8am? I have a reservation for 4:15pm but can no longer make it because I have work at that time, the store told me I was fine to arrive at 8am and they'd see me as I have a reservation and as of when the reservation page went down, there was still available slots for 8am - this seems to suggest I won't be waiting too long to be seen if they still had slots for that time, right?

I'm sure if you turn up and wait around there will be someone that doesn't turn up for their slot so you can slip in there. Good luck for tomorrow.

Is this from Very?

I have a Bro's Gold 128+ reserved for tomorrow, but when I saw JB's were on Very, i figured i'd give that a punt, so i'm still happy! 🙂

ah, what made it impractical for travel? i will soon be commuting to london everyday so will be using it a lot, i would have thought that it was perhaps more practical.

annoying they don't make a smart charge case for the + models

enjoy!

For consuming media on a commute is fine but actually traveling around and actually putting it in and out of your pocket etc and getting it out and using it whenever is impractical.
