The London and kent stores had both Golds, by the time i thought 'oh let me chance it, reserve a gold and ask to swap colour in store' they were sold out too. This was in the span of 2 mins
Got a tip for us?

No I don't think so. Store stock is different to online stock and stores get new stock every morning. If you've not managed to get a reservation by this time next week and you're still desperate, maybe consider getting something else.
Leeds was available for a short period because I checked it a few times, Meadowhall never went live (so I see your point.. what happened to the 140)
Yeah, plus the fact all they make you do is fill out a form on their handheld devices and then it verifies and goes through. Why can't that be done online? I think it's purely for the identification purposes cause they ask to see your photo ID.
Everywhere had plenty of 7s but nowhere had any Black or Jet Black Plus units to begin with.

According to the tracker, none of the 3 stores had black (normal black or jet black) in any capacity of the iPhone 7 plus...
In America the whole thing is done online, only time u need to go to store is when upgrading and that's primarily because you need to physically hand the old one back. Someone in Apple probably said 'Make the British come in to sign up, they love to queue'
I'm hanging around until 6:46 and then I'm going back to sleep. Let's do this again tomorrow chaps! <3
Maybe that shows a limitation of the tracker. I'm not trying to wind anyone up - page went live for me at about 30 seconds after 6, and because I'm a nutter and will fetch from almost anywhere, I checked loads and none-jet black in 128 was definitely showing. I never went further than that first stock page though
hmm true, but that to me just shows are very constraint on that model, online or in store. I may just do that. deffo not getting this reservation, i thought about it.
yes this is true, but I'm sure there is ways around this. Should have done it like america where you can do it online.
That's not quite true. There was a bunch of Plus stock around. Just none in Black or Jet Black.
Ps. If you change the iReserve link to your local store's identification number, you can load the page straight to it without having to mess with the drop down menu.

R308 relates to Highcross, Leicester. You can find your store number if you check a website like http://applestorefronts.appspot.com/uk/

hmmm i dont see any of the blacks or silver in the 128 config which is what i suspected. It was the same as preorder day deje vu if you may
Sorry I meant Black or Jet Black. You're right, there were Plus units available!
Did Meadowhall have any phones at all? Tracker doesn't seem to be working for me.
Super weird... Nope.
Maybe they're just late adding their stock and once they open it'll be on there.
Dude that's not true. I'm telling you on at least 2, but I think 3, I selected the store, selected plus, pressed 128 (because I'm looking for jet black), and black showed up not greyed out
I never went further but that first page checked showed available for normal black

Meadowhall was on the 'no reservations available' list from my first refresh.
Did this happen to Meadowhall only, or did any other store experience this? Thanks
