Thanks for the info. I'm hoping because Apple know this was a major problem for a lot of pre-orders. They're going to do what they can to resolve the issue.
Still waiting for mine to move from Processing. Ordered at like 8:03
That's why they're referred to as Parcelfarce. They are utterly hopeless. Always.
I'm so impressed with my new iPhone 7, a big difference coming from my 5s.
I was going to trade my 5s in to Music Magpie for £111, the highest I could find online but have just gone into my local game store and traded it in there and then for £125 cash. Might be worth looking there if you're thinking of trading your old iPhone in.

I work for Waitrose so I know how the JL Click & Collect system works. We can't sent something back until 7 days have passed. The system just won't allow it, then after the 7 days it shows as a non collection and we can return it.
But you can pick up the iPhone, take it to the relevant department and return it. You'll get refunded straight away and iPhone will go back into stock.
I know this is completely off topic, but it made me laugh, so I thought I'd share!!!
Replace "Bank of England" with "Visa" and that's probably more accurate. (BOE have nothing to do with card transactions)
There are 3 levels of fraud protection though: Apple, Visa/Mastercard/AMEX, and your bank. (Potentially a 4th between Apple and Visa etc, "Payment Processor", but let's assume Apple interface directly to Visa/MC/AMEX)
All of them have different fraud checks and can fail your transaction. The problem is, Visa/Mastercard/AMEX are often delayed with sending the declined notification to your bank, and sometimes it doesn't appear at all, or your bank is slow at receiving and processing the notification.
In that case, your bank will say "we don't see anything wrong", Apple will say "your card was declined" (they technically could figure out where the transaction was declined from the codes returned, but probably don't. Especially as it can change per provider and bank)
Usually, within a few hours the payment declined notice will be send up to your bank and they'll know about it. That's where you'll get a text/call from your banks fraud system.
I would advise it.
My appt was for 11.15 and I got there to find a queue at 10.55... an hour later I actually made it into the store!
Interestingly, if I had opted to go with the IUP I'd have had to join a second queue INSIDE the store, which didn't appear to be moving very fast....
So would the declined transactions all be either VISA or MasterCard?
[doublepost=1474116177][/doublepost]Has anyone with a 4 - 10 October delivery had movement at all? There is a thread where people have had payment taken but from what I can see they are in the USA.
managed to get a 7 black 128gb reservation this morning, after going in and playing with the new phones, i decided 7+ was my way forward. So there'll be a 7 128gb black available in Aberdeen tomorrow/later today
It'll likely be a mixture of all 3 - which is why some people are getting notifications just fine, and others their banks are denying even knowing about it.
My silver hasn't moved for over 24 hours. We might not see an update until Monday
Like I said earlier we all have differing views on what 'late' and 'limited' are in the context of a new worldwide phone release .... my question still stands what did they over promise ?
