So I think I've done it wrong, I want to use the Apple Upgrade Programme but I used the app which allowed me to pickup in store and give credit card details. Do you normally get charged on pickup? If so can I convert the order to the upgrade programme in store rather than paying the full price on my card?
No reserve in store in Bath, Bristol or Cardiff so I had to order online. Ordered at 8.20
Silver 256mb 7 plus - Delivery 27th-29th
SS42mm with Sport band - Delivery 2 weeks
Not brilliant but it will do. The store still says that 256mb in Silver ships in 6-8 business days

I ordered on the Apple Store App on iPhone & have just noticed that it's taken my Billing Address as the Delivery Address - I did double-check this earlier in the week, and had updated my default Delivery Address which is irritating.
I guess you have to wait until the Order Status has moved from 'Received' to 'Processing' to update this ...

It can do. I got caught out once before with that when I ordered the watch last year and afterward I ordered a second band
Apple will be shipping these from China, so there's a week or so delay in that anyway. That's why the delivery date is so far out.
FWIW, My data shows there was zero stock of Black, Jet Black or Silver Plus models (128/256gb) anywhere in the UK for reservation.
Who delivers iPhones? I know DPD do a lot of Apple deliveries but in my past experience, UPS deliver phones especially on launch day.
With the shipping date not certain for me, the most important thing is that the phone gets to a UPS depot somewhere right? From then, after the first failed attempt or whatever, I can do all sorts like re-route the delivery somewhere else, set a certain time, or maybe even pickup at depot, right?
I'm asking because the only day someone will 100% be in to receive it is the launch day.

I ordered a case with mine. The default delivery option is to ship each item separately as soon as it becomes available. So neither item will delay the other.
The apple cases are due for delivery before the iphone anyway.
This is really cool.
Could you use your app to constantly poll the reserve stock checker to see when a model becomes available?
I'd keep it as a back up phone myself. You never know if/when you might need it!
Nope. Apple will charge your card in the next few days.
So, say they do that, couldn't I just return it in person and they could charge me again using the iPhone upgrade program?
Apple actually just launch a special version of their order status site on iPhone launch morning. It will just show all orders as "we've received your order" and not allow edits to reduce system load. (You can test this by viewing the status of any historic orders from the order email - they'll show "We've received your order" this morning, even if it shipped months ago!)
Give it a couple of hours and they'll turn it back on

You'd think so, but I have a feeling their stock system won't allow a returned iPhone to just go back into "for sale" inventory immediately.
Plus, their "SIM Free" iPhones lock to the network of the 1st SIM you insert.
usually a toss-up between DPD, UK MAIL and UPS for me.
for stuff that comes directly from China its always been UPS.
for launch day stock coming from Hinkley its any of them
Yup, in theory! I've only written a couple of automated update notifications for me though, it's probably not worth the hassle of trying to build a system anyone could subscribe to.
If you're interested, the full matrix of live data is here: https://code.gladdy.uk/iphone/ (I say live, I load the data every 30 seconds at the moment so Apple don't hate me too much...)
I did this with the 6+, No different man you are just tied in for 24 months as they don't offer the refresh.
Thanks for this.....just noticed mine has now changed to processing items......I guess now it would be safe to order case?
This is the exact reason I ordered the phone separate from the case...
Bit of a bummer. I didn't want to wait at home all Friday. My dad is coming over to see me over the weekend and last thing I wanted to do was to sit and wait for a phone. Unless it is pishing down in Scotland... Chances are it will be
So, need to decide now: iPhone 7 Plus silver delivered next Friday, or the matte black which says 26-27th of September. The black one is actually the one i wanted, but might run into difficulties as I sold my phone to Mazuma yesterday. Of course I can cancel it, but would most likely lose out money...
There are still silver iPhone 7 256GB available for pick up in store though in Scotland.
Yeah, I had a really old home address pop up as delivery, rather annoying! I checked the details a few days ago in prep and then again yesterday, bloody app!
