Well here's my Jet Black after five-and-a-half days of normal caseless use.

Scratches easily my ass...

The online rep could not tell me if there are any conditions on what condition Apple expect the iPhone to be in upon hading it in, 11 months down the line for my upgrade! They kept saying I need to ask in store. Anyone here know. Online chat is crap, Ive had this before with them, they tell me to phone up or go in store. Surely i'm speaking with someone from Apple who knows the products that they offer.
 
seeing continual notifications about 7+ JB 32GB being available in Bromley and White City.. annoyingly the reserve page shows no reservations available at either store..

have they maxed out on number of appointments they can have in a single day? even though there might be stock of certain handsets?
 
Collected mine from UKMail, unboxing my Black 256gb shortly, woo!

Odd place, UKMail depot in Trafford. Strange point of entry, it felt like an entrance to a dodgy government facility.
 
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else was on the fence about Envriofone

Envriofone just honoured their quote of £475 for my iPhone 6s+ 128GB. No horror stories about cracks/dents and reduction of price here. I did wrap it up in bubblewrap to the extent that it was almost the size of an iPad mini. Used Royal mail special delivery £7.25 which covers loss/damage up to £500

Just need to sell the unused earpods for probably £15 and call up Apple to get a pro rata refund on the remaining 12 month Apple Care +

Thanks to all those who recommended them and providing the voucher code

Were you "probed" ??

Not quite. A turnstile, a buzzer, and a makeshift piece of laminated A4 placed haphazardly on the tall fence. They clearly do not like visitors.

Opened the box, ooh! I know JB gets all the plaudits, but my oh my, the 7+ looks awesome in matte black.

Right I'm off.

Good luck with the unboxing don't do it above a hard floor. Dropped my Magic Trackpad 2 and it cracked.

Did you have to use the 7-day extension they offered? Also, dunno if anyone has tried to get a further extension out of them?

Perhaps they are available to pay upfront and pickup, similar to last nights stock. In your script look for:

!= 'NONE' and change it to == 'ALL'

should only show stock that is available to pickup on reserve and collect page.

Ouch, commiserations :(

It's restoring now.

Did I read somewhere it now has usb3 speeds over lightning? Should speed the process a little when I bung a load of media on there.

I asked and was given a further extension. Bank holiday Friday Monday where I lived and the PO was closed both days. Called them in Friday to explain. Asked when I could send and to email an image of th PO tracking receipt and they would honour the price and 5% addition. Good bunch.

So I thought too but even that option on the apple store show's the model unavailable.

Will make the change and stop myself getting spammed with notifications I can't action :)

Ah cool. My extended 21 days is up next Wednesday, so I may ask for an extension.

It makes perfect sense that you would have to inspect it in person, don't you think? The programme has just been introduced in the UK, so you would imagine that it would have to be in a decent condition in 11 months time for when you go to leave it in.
 
Starting to have doubts of even getting an iPhone 7 now! I'm sure the people who have them love them, but I'm more upgrading because I'd set myself on getting the next iPhone, skipping the 'S' model. But my 6 doesn't feel slow, and the price is just a bit of a sticking point for me, not sure I can actually swallow £819 on a phone that whilst has a better camera will only be used for social media, yeah the bigger screen is something I want, but I pretty much 100% know I'll be getting the next iPhone if the rumours are true.

If the phone came on launch or even this week I'd probably be fine, but I'm still on Oct 4-10 and it's giving me time to doubt.

Still, anyone selling a 6S Plus Black 64Gb? Thinking it might be a nice upgrade for a year, the RAW and 56mm is what sold me on the 7+, but the 6S got RAW, and the 56mm lens isn't OIS, which is a shame.
 
Guys. Change the script refreshing time to 10 seconds. They only get a couple of each phone in and 60 secs is enough time for someone to beat you. I'm sitting waiting on a train home with my new 128gb Black +. :)
