What's quicker, in your opinion? IUP way or pickup way? I got the notification for a 256GB JB 7 Plus today but I missed out (again) through the IUP because of the phone code stuff...
I know the pushbullet and script method- what is the telegram method?

Posted this in another thread but some people here might still need.

For anyone still looking for notifications of stock, or anyone who I'm running the script for currently, follow these steps to setup stock notifications.

Install Telegram from the AppStore, set a username in the settings of Telegram, then compose a message to iphonestockbot

Type /start then /register
Then /stores and /models to find the stores and model codes you want to be notified of stock at.

/addmodel modelcode
/addstore storecode

To see what's on your watchlist do /watchlist and it will tell you.

When you have got your reservation and don't want notifications anymore just do

/removestore storecode
OR
/removemodel modelcode

For all the stores/models in your watchlist. I might add a /stop command that does that for you.
 
Is there any way to add Regent Street to it?

Will restart it tomorrow which should update the store list, at moment if the stores.json says the store is locked/unavailable it won't appear in the bots store list. I'm assuming with regent street reopening tomorrow, the Apple stores list will say that so a quick restart should fix it.

When there is a stock notification then open the apple store app; go to the JB Plus and click on buy then pickup and enter the store name and it should show (as it did for me) that it is in stock. Then you just use apple pay or your card details to pay.

No code; no waiting. But you do pay then and there. And as we all know on here if you have the phone favourited and the address and payment details sorted it is very quick and easy.

I don't think that ever worked for me when I did it, but that will be useful information for other people, so thank you.

By the way, everyone, Regent Street seems to have a lot of stock, I've been getting notifications for Jet Black 256GB 7 Pluses for about 10 minutes now. Finally got a reservation, looks like the grand reopening of the flagship store did not disappoint :D (I say that now, I still haven't gotten the email confirmation but I have the booking in my Apple Store app so I'm hoping that's good enough haha)

You can also buy the jet black through the Store App. Available now.

I reserved one, but did not get the email confirmation so bought one for pickup via Store App. Also quicker once u get there, the reservation line takes some time

If anyone is stuck for a reservation, I should have one spare, though never got the email.

For pickup at Regent Street? I don't have anything? Agh this is frustrating

Will restart it tomorrow which should update the store list, at moment if the stores.json says the store is locked/unavailable it won't appear in the bots store list. I'm assuming with regent street reopening tomorrow, the Apple stores list will say that so a quick restart should fix it.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah it went green on my app, so decided to buy it outright and pick it up in store.

I got a spare 1215 reservation for a Plus Jet Black 256 if apple staff allow it to be passed on.

and I got a 1245 online order pickup.
[doublepost=1476515270][/doublepost]Jet Black 128GB plus, available via the app store app in regent street
[doublepost=1476515417][/doublepost]going to be a very busy store today. Should be a good reopening
 
Looks it, I can't be bothered anymore.

MH01, enjoy and appreciate the reservation transfer offer - I'm looking for a 128 personally.
 
Hi,

Amsterdam R408
Haarlem R539
Den Haag R540
Centro Oberhausen R403

It will make it also for us much easier :) I appreciate!

Just FYI, I added R092, it said it added Regent Street .. Don't know if it really did to be honest.
 
Just picked up my jb 128gb from Regent St, my fiancé thought I was a nutter getting the train to London to get a phone... lol. Really nice In there and outstanding service considering how busy and fresh everything was! Good luck to everyone who's still trying!

So just collected my week 41 256 JB plus from Stratford.

There were a couple of people all together buying around 30 iPhones, they had a suitcase ready to load them up. They were paying £1000's.

The employee said they use lots of new different Apple ID's to reserve them and collect. So the names match and there's nothing they can do.

She said they are really polite but it takes stock from people who really want them and not to profit. She said she also sees it as they will end up in people's hands that want them and I said yes for twice the RRP.

ALso, my week 41 is prefect, no hissing, even screen and no machining issues around the edges.
 
Managed to reserve and pick up a JB+ 256 from Regent Street today. My original order placed at 08:21, due for delivery between 18-31 October was still processing as of today, so definitely 18th would not have been met. Looks like Regent Street had quite a few JBs for reopening today. So happy now ;)

There is supply out there..
I bought my iPhone 7 on Friday from a local shop in Birmingham.. they had plenty of stock including Jet Black versions!
I got a sealed/simfree 32gb iPhone 7 for £570 (5% off this close to release was good enough for me).. it is very slick and stealthy looking! Love it! ;)
I have had non of the issues mentioned on other threads.. may be because it is a week 40 handset.
One thing that have noticed was the buzzing in the video recordings.. I suspect these are software bugs.. will wait for a few weeks before trying to contact Apple.

So so tempted to just go for the 0% 20 month installment plan but not sure If I'd be accepted :/
Checked my credit on experian, I dont have much credit history im considered "Fair" but im not far away from "Good".

Reserved one but missed my appointment, so may just have to reserve one tomorrow morning and go for it.

But hard search and risk of getting declined is:rolleyes:
 
Whats with having to enter your telephone number to get confirmation text now?? It takes too long and by the time you do that someone else grabs it!!

Added NL/DE/BE/AU/CA/US/SE stores/models to it now - let me know how it goes as there may be the odd bug here or there but seems to work ok for me at moment.
