You need to stop going into store and hoping. Just order from somewhere, and you'll have it in a couple of weeks.
Which is probably about the same amount of time it'll take to get lucky in store....plus think of all the time you'll save
Having had a look at the iPhone SE in my local Carphone Warehouse this morning I have to say it's a very nice phone.
Couldn't see myself going back to a 4" display (at one stage I did consider it) but if I had to the iPhone SE would be my phone of choice.

There is a convoluted way to get a 64GB SE from O2 for £380. I considered it, but they have just gone out of stock of the Space Grey...although still only 1 week lead time.
Seems like a bit of a faff tho, but it's a 15% saving for those who want to try it.

I just did and it should be available to pick up from the Apple store as of 29th April - ouch...

Damn unlucky, this is why I woke up early and preordered lol.
I also did, but returned mine as it rattled. Which, as it turns out, may or may not be a feature.
Next one is incoming on the 19th

I know it's down to you but I would have kept it, it seems nearly all SE have rattling sleep/wake buttons!
Check the Apple store availability each morning on the website.
I think a lot of stores are getting them in fairly regularly, but selling out by the end of the day.
But I got one in Birmingham doing that last week - saw they had them, and headed down. Got there just after lunch and was able to pick up a 64GB in space grey.

I think those days might be gone, at least for time being, dates have now been pushed back to May 3rd for the S/G 64GB in most stores.

Looks that way.
Must admit I was surprised at how quickly I picked one up last week. I saw on the Tuesday that they were shipping to stores, but got one on the Thursday.
I remember when the 5S came out it took ages to get one in store - was the end of October when I got it, and even then there was a queue outside the store with numbered tickets.

Probably.
Its Apple, so the only two options are 'record breaking sales' and 'abject failure'.
I highly doubt it, I just checked the site again, and nothing available...

I feel your pain. Its so annoying that online orders get second hand treatment. It should be the other way around
John Lewis online currently has stock of the Rose Gold, both 16gb and 64gb - plus has 2 year warranty. Unfortunately I am looking for silver 64gb...
I paid £799 for my 128GB and I recycled it for £595 and got the SE. Such is life.

Since when? Three's IPhones shouldn't lock to any cards as they come now directly from Apple.

I walked in on the 31st at about 11am and bought one. They had run out of Gold but I got Rose instead. Not a problem as I also got a blue case too.
But there was no rush to get it in store.

Keep an eye on giffgaff also they have some 16/64 in stock, They are unlocked and from Apple. I've bought my 6S from there never had a problem using it on other networks
Many people overlook or do not know about giffgaff phones. I am not a customer of theirs apart from buying a phone from them once.

Edit: They make you buy a £10 voucher too now (was not the case then) so you might not want to bother with them.

Apple is just too slow... I have just cancelled my order with them and ordered through carphonewarehouse instead, delivery date is 18th of April, that's a 11 days earlier than from Apple Store.
PS: Your date is 19th, lol, lets see who receives the phone first...

I might cheat, and get a white/silver one. Could have it tomorrow

Nooooooooooooo
Never had a white iPhone....maybe now is the time to try something new.
...I do wonder if there is a reason for this, tho. But end of the day colour doesn't really matter.
