Quick bit of help please... I'm setting my 7+ up with an encripted back up of my 6s.... what do I have to do with my Apple Watch again? unpair it from the 6s and re-pair it with the 7 (in order to carry over the health data)?

Unpair watch from 6s
make an encrypted backup of 6s
restore backup to 7+
pair watch to 7+
restore watch from backup

I was questioning that, It had a reservation time of like 17:15-17:30. Does anyone know how long apple keeps the reservation for outside of the time period for you?
 
My brother took this photo at Covent Garden! Says they were getting another big delivery at the loading area too! Although it looks like there's only about a dozen of each Plus model on the table.

Your maths is faulty because you've based it on two years, in that case you should also include the resale value on the iUP as you would own the phone after twenty months. Obviously most people would upgrade after a year but you can't compare the cost of buying outright once every two years against doing IUP every 12 months as you aren't comparing like for like then.

It's £4.96 a month more expensive for the upgrade programme compared to buying outright over two years in a proper like for like comparison as the only difference in cost is the mandatory Applecare+
I've never had apple care on a phone, so I'd factor in that cost. Plus like I say I don't buy anything in HP, which is effectively what this program is.


Anyway back on topic, sorry to all you guys still waiting, but like a lot of us on here, I'm all sorted as of lunchtime today.

This phone appeared as available at London Stratford Westfield at 11:20, made the reservation at 11:21, finally you can see the results (it's like a diamond, just precious) :

I've got to head London for lunch with a friend tomorrow, so I'm trying my luck with London as I could have easily done 2 reservations today when I was noseying around. Knowing my luck, Reading will have stock and I won't be able to do both, well possibly.

Go see my latest post! He took a photo inside Covent Garden...

They keep for 3 hours then it goes out back for the free for all reservation. It used to be until close of business, but apparently that's changed according to others in here. Tho you should be fine as I'm guessing your store closes at 8?

When was that? I'm guessing that delivery coming in was for the 6am release.

I reckon those pluses were the ones we saw available earlier and people either haven't bothered to collect and they'll join the free for all. Or more likely, people picking up after work.

Is that true?! If so, that's awesome. Also, I am new to this IUP - Can I pay the full amount when I collect the phone?

This was literally just now. Exif says photo was taken at 17:10PM.

Historically reservations were until shop shut, but. Many people in this thread have said that they've been told it's 3 hours after. Not seen any different yet.

Your second question has been today's hot topic. Yes is the answer, as confirmed by people that did it themselves today, if you look over the last hours posts.

Well, joint hot topic with some technical geek stuff that I didn't understand.

Yes, you can
I know. I wasn't being serious. Did you get the iPhone the other poster reserved?

I believe ya, I was just not in a position to look at the exif. I'm still betting that the delivery is for tomorrow morning. Question is, will it just be more 7's with the pluses rolling in mid morning, like today?! That could work for me as I would be in London about 10.30 and have to be at Liverpool Street at 1pm.

Well it looks like Covent have lots of stock, so I think a lot of us may be in luck for tomorrow morning! I wasn't aware that the iReserve site had been updating at midday, Highcross has never changed at midday. Really hoping this all means the UK got a big ole' delivery today and those of us still waiting for reservations will be able to get phones tomorrow! That would be awesome, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high.
