The same way the person who asked the question would know - BY LOOKING ON APPLE'S WEBSITE! Apple maintain a stock check facility. Go to the iPhone SE page, click buy, choose your colour and capacity and then underneath the Continue button is a link to check the stock in stores. Enter the Bluewater post code (DA9 9ST) and it'll tell you. FWIW 64GB Space Grey (only model worth buying IMHOHow would a forum member know the stock levels of an Apple store?
) is "Ships to store" so you're out of luck on that one.A
Did realise the SE had Live Photos as it doesn't have 3D touch to view the live photos?
Well Bluewater is out of stock of all models of SE. They are expecting more on Tuesday. Thanks for the advice about checking online.
Just managed to order one to pickup at the Brighton Apple store. Seems they magically have stock again unlike everywhere else
As do Birmingham Bullring.
Fingers crossed for deliveries a little closer to me..!
In general they're already locked to Tesco Mobile, unless explicitly advertised as unlocked.
A few also include O2 (as Tesco runs on O2) but many not even that.
As it happens, Tesco is an excellent carrier, provided you're okay with O2 coverage locally..
They're particularly good value for sim-only plans.
They're listed in the sim free section, but probably worth giving them a call to check whether it's a true unlock or lock to first sim.
Tesco list them as sim free but out of stock. No availability in either of the Bristol Apple Stores.
The 64GB Space Grey was showing in stock yesterday too and I submitted the order but then had an email later to say they were not available so they cancelled the order. Just spoken to CS who were going to check further and ring back.Only the silver 64GB is out of stock from what I am looking at.
So do we know for sure about whether they simlock to first sim?
I just spoke to Tesco Direct, and they said they have a similar open box/change of mind policy as Apple, so I am tempted to move my order to them if it means I don't have to wait till the 19th.

Sim-free, but locks to the network of the first SIM you put in it.*
*at least this was the case with previous iPhones from Argos.. I'm just looking to see if there's been any change to that policy...
on Apple's website - after you select colour and size, you have the option to Pickup from store.
When you click through and enter your postcode, it indicates if the product will
A - 'Ship to store' (no different than ordering it from Apple for home delivery, except it gets delivered to a store)
or
B- available for same day pickup. In stock.
Really? I didn't know that and it doesn't say anything in the description about it. That would really suck!
Those with late April delivery times are definitely better off cancelling and just going to the nearest Apple store.
