iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

anyone ordered a JB 128 + on or around 10/10 and in the same 'processing' boat as me? Expected delivery between 2 Dec - 15 Dec?
 
Strongly considering cancelling 7+ JB256 and waiting for 8 . Apple's judgement of launch day stock levels is appalling on a regular basis and with new countries 'launching' along the way as we inch closer to i8 June (?) launch some of us are not seeing any improvement in stock availability levels . Ireland , although listed in the first tranche of release countries had a pitiful stock allowance ( 5x7+(256s) for the whole country . This is compounded by the fact that as we have no actual Apple Store at all , only 'Premium Resellers' , we don't appear in iStocknow updates so never know what , if any , stock is available in stores . The main Premium Reseller in the capital Dublin have had a sign in the window for nearly a fortnight saying ' No iPhone 7 stock available ' and have no idea when stock will improve !!

Can't help wondering if Apple may have missed out on taking advantage of the whole exploding Samsung disaster . Not everybody can wait up to 2 months to replace a phone whether for social or business use .

Somehow saw a IP7+ matte black 128gb available for order w/ in-store pickup at Regent Street online yesterday - this morning, not even any available on the upgrade programme. I should've ordered yesterday!
 
Finally, movement. My phone is preparing for dispatch as of this evening. Ordered Rose Gold plus on 4th Oct with estimated delivery of 3rd-10th November. Should I expect delivery by Tuesday next week (1st)? Someone on here did say delivery takes about a week.
 
Hi everyone, I know most people aren't highly technical here and may not even know of the script but some brave soul create this script to check for stock around the UK. If any of you are looking for a specific version I can check for you on your nearest store.
I found the one I wanted yesterday, bought online and selected to collect from store then went to pick up a jet black 128gb in Regent's Street a few hours later. Seems stock is slowly getting back to normal.
I'm happy to help if anyone wants send me a message.
 
Right so, I have an outstanding credit balance of just under £500 with Very on their Take3 scheme would it be wise to clear that balance early before applying for the Upgrade Programme? Would it help increase the chances of passing the credit check or would it make little to no difference?

Thinking of going in maybe tomorrow or Friday and applying but not sure even If I cleared it, it would update on my credit file so quickly.

Thanks guys and girls.
 
Looks like in store stock has finally arrived for the black versions of the 7 plus in UK. Just ordered the 128gb MB direct from Apple, with an in store pickup tomorrow.
They have all sizes of the MB and JB in Cardiff, and the wide surrounding areas.
 
Had a text for O2 only 2 days ago saying my JB Plus 256GB SHOULD be in stock next week and then out for delivery but 7 weeks of waiting after they took my £180 fast enough is bleeding ridiculous! Order 11/9 and this is the first time I've heard anything about when I should be getting my phone.

Hope Apple sort out their supply and demand issues with the 7S/7S+ for people who pre-order/order next September. Thankfully I'm not upgrading again till 2018 but I'll be going through Apple direct and not O2 next time as their communication to customers has been diabolical.

Nobody knows what criteria Barclays use but it is unlikely to make a difference. It's annoying you have no idea if you will be accepted or not, especially if you have far to travel.
 
Ordered 12th of September, Apple just took the money from my account today. The phone wasn't gonna be delivered until November 18th so it would appear they're dispatching it a bit sooner. I cannot check the tracking because the store is down right now annoyingly.

Hopefully it comes soon. I did end up cancelling my order with CPW because with people having so many problems with their iPhones I didn't want to have to deal with the CPW return system in the event of a problem. I've used Apples in the past and had no issues so I decided to stick with them and wait the extra month which appears to have paid off in my favour :D
 
Ordered a 7+ JB 127gb from Three on 11th Sept, was originally told it would be here tomorrow - had a text today to say it's delayed until 8th November
