The "I just bought/ordered/got/shipped my new iPhone 5s/5c" thread, [Merged]

Amen brother. I wanted to hold on to my 4S until the 6 because of the bigger screen. But its tough to do a 1 yr contract and, my boss/gf bought this 5S for me. If it will ever freaking get here.

Anyway, when the 6 comes out I plan on selling my 5s and using that money for the early termination fee.

EDIT: Did anyone else order their 5S around 10/23??

Yes, 4 days after you. Gold

 

[RiddlaBronc]

yep.



That blows. Did you get a gold one? Extremely long wait.

Yes a gold one. I ordered when the apple store said "ships in october" then a couple of days later it went to "2-3" weeks.

So that means this will be week 5.

Wow. Well, like someone else said, imagine the wait for the 6 if it has a bigger screen. I can easily see a 3+ month wait.

Went to Best Buy and got a black 16GB 5s. Local Apple Stores didn't have any. The BB employees suck as always. They initially said they were out (didn't even bother to look). I ordered it online for store pickup. Got confirmation about 15 min later and went back to the store. Mobile guys said they forgot how to release a phone ordered online. Had to walk over to the CS desk. As expected, quite the crappy experience from BB, but at least I have the phone in hand.

I don't think you can make any changes to an online order other than change your delivery address or cancel it.

You could call the online store and ask if they can change the order to 16GB. Otherwise you will have to cancel the first order and place a new one (but this will put you at the back of the queue).

 

[BJMRamage]

my phone is out for delivery!

cannot wait to get home and (spend a few hours) restore and stuff but see the new phone.

 

[j0han]

can tell you guys that the reserved amount on my bank has gone away, should mean that's our order soon will be processed! woohooo! (confirmed by a friend of mine also. when they do so the order is close to be handled he said.)

The amount of money of my bank was taken away the first day I ordered the iPhone hahahaha<- FALSE

I've just consulted my bank account operations and Apple has returned back the 699 euros for the iPhone. That happened yesterday day 4....

 

[j0han]

the reserved money was there for two days ago, and it's gone now.

Did Apple charge your bank account or did the reservation disappear?

Det här är ren tortyr.

Since after I put my order the 25th when 2nd wave hit in Sweden I had a reserved amount of money from Apple, charing me from my credit card. It was there on my bank account up until yesterday.

Now the reserved is gone, that why I'm hoping that it's on the brink of the order to being updated!

and a work colleague of mine showed his silver gray 5s today, i wanted to kill him! (he got it from his carrier)

(jag vet.. vill.. ha.. nuuuuu)

He's hoping to get it soon. Now I feel guilty for making people write in Scandinavian languages... I blame this first world frustration.

Back to topic, is UPS Apple's shipping company of choice in Europe as well?
