Did the same with my Series 4 Apple Watch, thought I’d go to the store before work but was straight up refused, had to go back in on my lunch break. Why they couldn’t just give it to me there and then, first thing, even when the store wasn’t busy was beyond me.
They must be doing that because if they start doing one-offs people word of mouth will spread and everyone will be going to collect their order early causing mayhem.

I guess for stock allocation and for them to know how many of each configuration to bring down?
 
It’s going to get pretty busy in London till Monday now

I’d say Tuesday with it being both a bank Holiday and also the day of the funeral


None of us really care about the upgrades honestly, we’re all just hear for the camaraderie!

Indeed! In fact none of us have pre-orders and are infact sticking with last years model. It’s soo much fun being here right now though 😁


I’ve got backup orders on backup orders just in case from various retailers 😅

Yeah, I did the same with the PS5 and ended up with 3 PS5’s on launch day 🤷🏼
 
Does anyone recall what the “in-flight” options with DPD are on Apple orders? I know they all vary between the service retailers select with DPD.

Alas I won’t be available on Friday now, I wonder if I can collect from depot? I know you can reschedule but I don’t recall having the weekend option on that before (even as a paid option), or else it’ll be Tuesday for me.
 
I’m really considering switching the black for the purple, but I’m not sure.. and I’m on the 24 month financing thing…
You’ll have to do another hard search on your credit file, that’s what put me off changing my 128gb to a 256gb
 
I'm wondering if the couriers are going to have a lot of trouble getting around London/Central London on Friday...?

This was posted by @Jinjin earlier today and I’ve got to say the purple looks nice in the vid.
Ooh sorry, I've been so busy working today I've missed a few pages!

It doesn't look bad at all, bit muddy for my tastes - I'm still patiently waiting for a silver fox 14 Pro in the wild! 😄

The black does look verrrrry black… looks amazing.

I usually go the ‘new’ colour each year so no different with the purple. It will be in a case and I won’t look at it more than 3 times until august next year when it’s getting packed off to Mm!

I’ve done it once, they just had to serve the people who actually had booked slots for the time I turned up and then got to me. Wasn’t a long wait
 
They will have stock for walk ins but it depends on store size etc. as to how much inventory is available and which specs. Need to get there early too I reckon.
Do apple stores open early on release day or is that a myth?

For the past two years, I’ve gone pacific and Sierra blue, and was hoping for a green this year; now black.. as you said, it’ll be in a case so I guess I shouldn’t care

Took the case off my Alpine Green 13 Pro Max for the first time since it was delivered to enjoy it before it’s sent away, and I didn’t really get to appreciate how nice the Green actually is.

Now it has me wondering if I should go caseless when I get my Deep Purple Pro Max to really appreciate the colour. Or maybe find a decent clear case that isn’t an Apple one.

The apple direct orders with DPD don’t offer the ability to change etc. some carrier ones have done in the past
