I have to agree and I came from a 6s Plus too-lag is non existent and the camera, home 'button' and upgraded sound make what at first seemed like an almost cosmetic upgrade well worth it in my opinion!
Got a tip for us?

Same experience for me yesterday. Walked in, not a previous customer, kept cables and box. They checked general condition, entered IMEI number and gave me £350 for my 6S 64GB credited to my card. Very easy process.
keep checking if you can - the one you want will probably pop up at some point during the day and you can cancel the other one. I know its a pain but its the only way to ensure you can get it!
I've been checking for JB+s and there are none. The MB+s are occasionally popping up but the last one I saw in Belfast was two nights ago when the first overnight flood of stock appeared... nothing last night and nothing this morning.
As a simple aid, for those struggling with @l3uddz script, (presuming ur on OSX) if you have installed python from python.org (v2.7 remember per the notes), it comes with a little utility to create the py files. Once installed go to the python folder in applications and you will see idle.app (integrated development environment). Fire it up and then choose file, new .. from there it's straightforward and will save the file in py format. Remember as per previous posts to grab the RAW format code (no funny characters/?? On the end of each line and change as per instructions..)
Don't disagree with previous comments re. Capability but it's in your own hands.

I used Envirofone lat year and they were great. Using this year but not sent phone away yet. If you use EXTRA5 promo code you get an extra 5% on top of the quoted trade in price. No need for leads or boxes - they just send you a bag to send the phone to them. Always great to keep spare cables and plugs.
I used eBay a lot in the early days to sell my old iPhones but too nervous of the horror stories now of sellers being scammed......

I sold my 6s plus for £390, the guy first said he doesnt need box but when he saw i had brand new earpods cable and headphones he said his screen says he needs box lol
He has a 6S+ himself so he probably took them for himself. Although i really could have done with cable and charger.
Oh well
No need to be a customer and they place the phone in a jiffy bag without the box so dont think you need anything except the phone
Ive not seen any Jet Black + anywhere! managed to get my hands on a matte black one after continuously checking at my desk at work! This system is shambles! you could always pick up the one you've reserved and keep trying to get the other one as you have 14 days to return it.
Any idea why it would say the store is down when it's not? The script is running but for some reason it's not actually connecting to the Apple Store properly.
Should have noted that you can open the python files with "open with" and choose python launcher... simples!

What does the line starting applestock = read as?
If you copy the text between the quotes and paste it into a browser, do you get a whole host of stores (R numbers) and stock (M numbers) or do you get something akin to page not found? @l3uddz knows his python script better but if you've followed the instructions it "should" work.. I just stopped and restarted mine without any problem.. well other than no stock fitting my wants! ;-)
Mines at the setup screen after erasing contents and settings, did you have to have it past that?
Yeah get it past that
The guy wanted it activated to be able to get imei and also have a little play with it.
Setup as a new phone but dont sign in that should be fine.
He also said they cant use a store sim.
So they processed all my details. Barclays said no. Even though I already have a 7+ on the finance programe on order. Which is actually paying more back each month than the upgrade program. It makes no sense. What a waste of time. Journey to Manchester for nothing!! I would of paid outright but I don't have that much on my card. Is the reservation still standing? Could I sell my iPhone 6 right now and go back and purchase my reserved outright?
It's all day and different per store. I'd really suggest using the script if you can.
The Leicester store tended to be more in the afternoon but other stores have been early in the day.
That's weird. You're not a student are you? Definitely not got bad credit? Maybe they don't like having more than one on finance at a time?
Ask the Apple Store staff, but if you didn't check before you went, they might have already put it back into the system.
The fact you already have a 7+ on the finance programme already may well have been the reason why, you may well be paying more but the way Barclays will look at it is you are already paying £48 (I'm guessing) so with another £40 odd means you are liable for £80/£90 a month.
I would have thought your phone would still be reserved but I would check with them before you sell your 6 and are left without a phone.
Just received my IUP paperwork from Barclays.
Just a quick tip that might help those using the programme, my first installment comes out on the 22nd of each month starting from Oct which means by August 22nd 2017 I would have made 11 payments which is the minimum payments you need to make to be eligible to upgrade to the next model.
Barclays will allow you to change your payment date once a year for free (£10 if you need it change it more than once).
So as long as the iPhone 7s/8/10 is released before 22nd of Sept 2017 then you should be ok to upgrade with the minimum 11 payments, but judging from things that could go wrong i.e lack of stock, reservation issues I've moved my payments to come out on the last day of the month 30/31
This should hopefully give people some extra time to get their upgrade before a 12th installment is made to Barclays

My 6s Plus 128 is going there on Monday. Locked in £480 on the day before the iPhone 7 event. That was including the "CLOUDEXTRA5" voucher that was working, and I went through some intermediate website that boosted it by another £8.
Good tip.
Lots of people seem to think it'll be July next year due to the anniversary though.
I've seen no recent posts on here to indicate people with online orders are actually seeing them dispatched and received? Just people saying their orders are still stuck on processing.
