That is a possibility but it's unlikely they would put the store back up at 2-3am in the morning when most of the AUS customers would have gone to sleep with intention of ordering at 8am.

However in Perth it's actually 11:20pm and the stores are also down in china, Hong Kong and Singapore which have similar times? Not sure then maybe it will be a 12am launch - either way we'll know in about 45 mins
 
are they gonna have these in argos tomorrow?

I have a unused voucher :p

Yes they should, but worth calling if its a small store.

Apple Japan is down too, its 12:20 ish there right now. Maybe they're doing launches in waves across regions?
 
Well I've just spoken to a manager in Oldham Tesco who stated (Looking at the emails from Head Office) that only two stores in London will receive stock on release day! However twitter keeps saying different...

I'd be very surprised if that was really the case...
 
Looks like there's going to be a queue in Tesco then, 8am... bad timing as well as you'll get norms in at that time!

Tesco's Livingston distribution hub has them for supply to the stores in Scotland & North England. I haven't heard if/when they have been shipped to store or how that relates to online availability but that all points to being available in many stores tomorrow at some point. I can't imagine then not being shipped out to stores if they are available.
 
Australia store is up (as is Japan, Singapore etc)......... so looks like we on for midnight launch!!!!

It came online at midnight in Perth. Makes sense as can't segregate store between different timezones in same country - so have to go one all are at midnight. For UK shouldn't be an issue!

Oh.... and all models available within 24 hours!
 
I've just phoned my local Tesco Extra in Hanley and the woman on the other end said they don't even know when the launch date is, even though I told her myself.

she probably thought you were talking about actual fruit
 
Right so I've been in touch with Tesco about 5-10 times today through various routes. Customer service phone, Twitter, chat online. All saying different things. I had one informative call at lunch time with a guy who checked up on deliveries, found out my local Tesco Extra is due to get a delivery tonight. Other sources such as the chat say it's not gonna be available for weeks. So when I get home from work I'm going to drive to the store and ask them personally RE a midnight launch and I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for that. That is good news.
 
Will you be able to order online for in-store pickup from Apple does anyone know or is it a case of wait and find out at midnight?
