Wondering will they have stock for those that didn’t preorder
Good question. I suspect that under current circumstances that Apple will not want people just turning up to queue at their stores. I think that they have been operating a booking system just to browse. But on the other hand, I'm sure that Apple would not want to be turning customers away.

Our local one says “We’re currently open for pickup of online orders, Genius Support by making an appointment, and shopping by reserving a one-to-one session with a Specialist. We look forward to resuming full operations as soon as it’s safe to do so.” so I’m guessing no random walk-in purchasing.

My Amazon order has always said it was going to be delivered Monday while everyone else's was saying saturday so i decided to have a play around. Changed delivery address from work to home, delivery date still monday. Changed delivery speed from prime to standard, delivery date still monday. Changed delivery speed from standard to prime, delivery date changed to Saturday. Hacking the system guys!!!

In that case, a Smart plan for me is useless as I’ve already previously used EE’s 6 month free Apple Music offer + I already have BT Sport on my Virgin Media TV and Apple’s Arcade service is pants in my opinion as is Apple TV (already have all the Smart Apps on the tv anyway!)!

Doesn’t matter if you’ve used the trial. The smart benefit is separate.Having had the trial previously doesn’t mean you can’t use the monthly Apple Music smart benefit.

...if they’re going to be giving people a ticket and telling them to come back later (even if they have pre-ordered) due to massive queues, I won’t be hanging around and may have to just order one online and wait for delivery (even if it’s November).
 
Goodness me, who gets any phone these days on contract, complete and utter rip-off.

I considered iUP but I've never used AppleCare so it's money wasted.

If I had planned this year better, I'd have got a 0% offer on a credit card for 24 months and used that to pay for the phone.
 
For everyone getting your phones tomorrow, enjoy!!! I've had a family members birthday today so haven't been keeping up and when I came back there were 45 new pages! Also some information I read earlier, not sure if you guys have discussed it or not, when the new phones are on 5G, you will not need to connect to wifi to download software updates which is good.
