Well guys, I'm sick of trying to bag a 7+ 128GB MB.

I've got one on order for 7-13/10.

This delay has given me time for reflection, I'm seriously thinking of sticking with my 6+ 128GB until the supposedly fantastic iPhone 8 next year.

At the end of the day I am very happy with my 6+. It was replaced under AppleCare+ at the end of August.

Is anyone else considering doing the same?

Cheers, Dave

Was able to snag an iPhone 7 at the last minute, will post pictures as well as results when testing iPhone 6 cases and accessories on the iPhone 7 (and vice-versa) later.

To clarify previous questions, I had ordered and paid online for in-store pickup (this is not the same as IUP reservation), and arrived 90 minutes later than my allotted time. The Specialist didn't even notice I was late, and handed me the boxed iPhone with my name quite literally labelled on the side. It looks like you can arrive late for pickup with no problems.
Don't suppose you have the Apple 6 Battey Case ? I'd be really interested to know if the 7 fits (realise there's a potential issue with the Camera lens cut out but if it still charges...)

I've reserved the 7+ 32GB Black to collect at the Belfast branch later this evening. What's the chances I go in and they'll have a 128GB 7+ Black instead? My appointments not till 8:30PM - store closes at 9PM. Any hope or don't bother?
 
Yes but a regular 6. The 7 doesn't seem much of an upgrade to me, struggling to justify the extra cost. Also gone to a plus this time and not sure about the size, need to give it a bit longer.

I'm getting this when launching the script. Is this normal? And how do I link to Pushbullet?

I do, and also have the iPhone 7 version. Will test and post results tonight, provided it doesn't explode or something.
 
Any stock likely to come back on for the day or is it just 10pm tonight that we have to go through the torment again?

Yesterday I managed to get the one I wanted reserved in Liverpool but then couldn't get there so had to forget it.
Is there more stock due around 11ish? That's when it appeared yesterday.
 
Gotta say, the cheap clear cases that were posted here are pretty good. I got the spigen one and the orzly one and both myself and the wife prefer the orzly one.

Just waiting for the screen protectors to arrive now, they did send them (I got the 6S+ one for the daughter) but only the 6S+ order arrived, the other got lost somewhere. The seller has sent me out some more though, so hopefully they will arrive either today or tomorrow. Had to stick the 6S+ one on the wifes phone temporarily.
 
Stock does appear during the day.

The last two days stock has appeared at my local store between 12 and 1.

You're saving as File Type , 'Rich Text Format' (RTF)
Try changing that to Text - and then rename the .txt file from Finder. ?
[doublepost=1474613841][/doublepost]

I arrived 7 hours early for pickup - no problem. You may need to wait until they've sent you the confirmation text.

Not sure which option to choose for a .txt file?

But then I can't save as a .py file?
Not trying to sound condescending but if you are struggling changing the file type then should you looking to run scripts on your personal machine? It seems you are unfamiliar with the process, and people should not be running random scripts off the internet if they don't understand what the code is doing. This particular script is not malicious but easily could be!

If you want to learn more I suggest googling some python tutorials and working through them. It will leave you in a much better place.

Rich Text Document for a .txt file :)

Change it to .py in Finder afterwards. Should work! :)

RTF is not plain text! In text edit make sure that you go to Format menu and select "Make Plain Text", then hit save, you'll be able to now save it as plain text (different options will appear).

I completely appreciate what you are saying.

I have no problem changing I file type, I just became a little confused. I'm at work while trying to do this! :oops:

I would never usually download something to run code (because I don't understand it), but seen as so many on this forum have done it and been successful, I want to give it a go and get this god damn iPhone.

But I certainly take on board what you're saying and how it could very easily be malicious.
 
I think I am just going to have to try and manually keep an eye on the reservations page. I'm encountering too many errors and not entirely sure what to do! I appreciate the help that I have received :)

The http unauthorised error is due to an invalid pushbullet api key being put in.

Getting a 400 Bad request on the script today. Unchanged from working yesterday :(

Even if it's closed box it won't get offered for sale, it will be opened to check and then go with used returns

Makes sense but I never took it out of the shop - the advisor had the whole time. She marked it as picked up and then immediately refunded me. But maybe the system still doesn't allow it to go out.
