So, I went to Covent garden and exchanged my online order into the iUP.

Quick question - how was the service you received?

I was in Covent Garden earlier today and yes it was busy, but they were massively understaffed and I received the most appalling service ever - and guess what, when I asked to see the manager, he WAS the manager!

Fuming. Trying to figure out who and how to complain to but I guess it's a lost cause. :mad:
 
Well reserved a 7 128gb black at the Solihull apple store, got there a bit late and asked if the had any 7+ models available. Low and behold i walked out with a 256gb 7+ Black. Guy in the store reckons this is what would have gone on the reservation list tomorrow... I am so happy, the Matte black looks awesome.

Nicely done, congrats.

I tried this yesterday at the Solihull store but failed.
 
How does this work? If we have 3 hours to collect the phone from the reservation start time...In this case if you were to reserve an iPhone at 15:30-15:45, I would have till 18:30 to collect. But what if the store you reserved at closes at 6pm?

Even better as my order for a JB 7+ was not going to arrive until the end of October...

Saw a few notifications through the day for them so likely to be easier to get

This was part of the reasoning. Also while I really liked the JB originally, the more I see of it the more I prefer the matte version.

What's even more annoying is that I had two matte blacks in my cart last night for Bentalls and my wife had fallen asleep, so I didn't want to wake her to ask if that colour would be ok for her.

Oh well, at least I've actually seen pickup stock availability. The shipping date for matte is only slightly longer than when I preordered the JB on the 9th!

I refunded my JB Plus at JL today!

The screen protector is one of the thing I don't want to use. The screen on the JB is so glorious as it curves into the body I just loved the feel of the one I tried in store yesterday. What with Apple Care, I presume any screen issues are nothing to worry about.
[doublepost=1474469895][/doublepost]Why


Why did you cancel the IUP agreement?
Click to expand...


Cancelled the iUP on the iPhone 7 and started again with the iUP on the 7+.
 
Nekomichi said:
Ah. For online order pickups, do I pay online at the time of order, or use my card when arriving at the store? It seems I can't pay for stuff online, which was why my original order was lost.

Right now I have two options:
- Try and somehow find an iPhone 7 in the duty free stores before departure
- Order online for pickup in any of the Apple Stores along the way between arriving at the airport and home
Click to expand...

Online order pickups you pay when you order and then collect from store.

Just been to Norwich to pick up my reservation of a black 256gb plus. I was an hour early but they let me have it then, was in and out in 5 minutes. Did the upgrade program. Just cancelled my online order. Now to trade my 6S plus with someone! On way back home for a fiddle with it.
Click to expand...

Same here. Debating who to go with.

Back home now with my 256GB matte black. It said 1 Hour to restore from iCloud backup then said unable to connect with the server. Now trying again and it says 2 hours! Any one else had this?
Click to expand...

Mine was fine until the app installations. Manually kicking them into action. Probably my crappy building wifi.

sn00p said:
Am I missing something? The pushbullet notification tells me there is stock at the bentall centre, but when I hit pickup on the order in my bag it says "unavailable".

Am I doing something wrong?
Click to expand...

Pushbullet is for reservations. Sounds like you're going thru online purchase.

A lot of people have said they were told 3 hours by store staff.

GoFlex said:
My apps aren't downloading when I restore, it's said 'Waiting' for all of them for the past 2 hours?
Click to expand...

I had that too. I've manually stopped and started them via App Store. Thought it was my crap wifi

JarScott said:
If you just 'Pause' and unpause a few or all of them, this seems to 'restart' the server connection and get things moving again.
Click to expand...

That wasn't doing the trick for me.

Loopy65 said:
I'm not sure what happens with the apps. Mine said it was all synced but the apps were blank for hours after (lots of them!). I found that when I just left it they all settled and appeared fine. Makes the phone run hot though and uses a ton of battery!
Click to expand...

Its cos apps no longer backup to a mac, so if you restore via mac, it still downloads the apps from scratch, then bundles your iCloud backup into it, just like iCloud backup restoration. Seems that it's hiccuping tho.

Just a thought... could it be that the device is on 10.0 not 10.0.1?

Click to expand...

Reservations expire either after 3 hours or when store closes. Whichever is first.
 
Okay, despite my doubts about actually getting one, I think I've got the Python script running to check the stores near me. Let's see if I can reserve one.

Did you open and use it?
 
This thread is getting more and more quiet.

Hopefully only a few more weeks left then all models should be available everywhere.

Still nothing from CPW for me :(

That's because all us guys don't want to post on here making the waiting crowd mad!
Hope you get yours soon. Personally I always order through Apple as I figure they will always get stock first.

Should be perfectly fine, I imagine the requirements won't be exceptionally high since they want to get as many people as they can on the programme, especially since it is the first year in the UK.

My mate got rejected so bought the phone outright. He's self employed but has quite a few properties in his name, 999 credit score. He could not understand and gave Barclays a call. They said Apple have quite strict conditions and said he has no idea why he was rejected.

As for Pushbullet notifications not arriving not too sure, works fine here, although granted i was using android to receive my notification. Just tested on my iphone though and after logging in with google, i went to https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices and could not see the iphone listed in devices (wasnt receiving test messages like some of you) - so on pushbullet app, went to settings and then signed out and signed back in. Refreshed the device page and could now see the iphone. After this i then went to https://www.pushbullet.com/#people and chose the iPhone and put a test message which was received instantly. Hopefully following these steps can sort it out for some of you.


As for the unreliable push notifications saying stock available, am fairly certain its because of the a mistake with the code, its alerting whenever it sees a models status as not equal to NONE. NONE seems to indicate there is no stock, UNLOCKED seems to indicate ??? - these models dont show up on the reserve and collect and i suspect they are the ones causing you to be notified of stock that isnt there. ALL seems to indicate that the model is available to purchased via all available methods (pay upfront and collect, reserve and collect, whatever else...).

What you need todo is change the following in the code, search for:

!= 'NONE'

replace it with

== 'ALL'

or just use: http://pastebin.com/raw/TAi79uJX

updating the configuration to what you want.

Thanks for that just tried that code so lets hope it works!

Also I was having problems with notifications and like you tried logging out of the web app and the phone app and logged on until I could see the iPhone in the device list. Now I am getting notifications fine.
 
PS C:\> IphoneCheck | Where-Object {$_.Status -ne 'None' -AND $_.Phone -match 'Plus'}
