UK iPhone 4S thread.

Just wondered how many of us UK users are experiencing the seemingly widespread battery issues the 4s is having...?

My online order is due for delivery 24th - 31st Oct and have been considering cancelling my order if there's no acknowledgment from Apple on the issue.

The White looks fresh but I'm worried it will dull/fade in time.

I wanted to use the Quidco too but it seems a bit suspect to me, maybe I'm being a bit over paranoid but hey :).

Is your estimate showing same as me?

I've managed to get nearly £200 from Quidco. It's legit.

I've ordered a white one... I guess it could be seen as 'girly', but I think it looks fresh... might regret it but heyho.

Right ordered online and used the 3.5% cash back.
If I can get one reserved I'll cancel, but at least I have a backup.

16gb Black. Was soooo close to ordering White but everyone keeps telling me its too feminine, so backed out :(

Agreed. For some reason people have a lack of trust of Quidco. What's not to trust, you are using a link off a website that goes to a supplier that you trust and you get money back ... for nothing? Madness not to use it.
 
In order to avoid the delivery wait from Apple (I hate waiting), I've bought a white 4S from someone on eBay who was selling their upgrade from Vodafone. I paid the retail price and should be getting it on Friday, much better than the 1-2 dispatch + delivery time from Apple. :)

Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's free to get an unlock code from Vodafone. I'm with them anyway, but I'd like it to be unlocked for when I'm abroad and when I eventually sell it.

Had serious battery issues, 1% loss every minute, just listening to music with the screen off. Took it back to the Apple store today and they replaced it with a brand new retail boxed unit, no questions asked :)

Ta for the reply. I presume your new replaced iPhone is getting a decent battery life? Did you buy in store or online too btw?


Cheers.

I think it's free on pay monthly but £20 on PAYG.
 
Its stupid waiting every night for 9pm just for nothing... It should at least say for each store when they are likely to get stock.
 
I was refreshing all 5 London stores plus Lakeside and Bluewater every few seconds and only a few 64GB White came up in White City but were gone in seconds!

Anyone manage to reserve tonight....?

At some point I managed to get the White 4S 32GB in my shopping basket. But even though I went forward as fast as possible by the end I was told that "there is no product to be picked up at the selected date" or something along those lines.

I don't even remember which store I had chosen... I was randomly changing between all the London stores.

And in one of those... just for a second... all the models were available!

It might have been a bug or an error... or the other people reserving were just insanely fast.

At least you saw some evidence that stock exists! :D

Last night i believe a white 64gb was at the metrocentre, gateshead, but a refresh later it was gone.... Mind you i couldnt stretch to that price anyway!
 
I think I'll carry on trying to reserve one up until friday then just go into the store and see if any1 who has reserved one hasnt come to pick it up

Ahhh I just signed up and ordered another one through Quidco :D.

I'll cancel the other one though as I don't quite fancy ending up with 2 iPhone 4S's ;)

x2 for the Reserve system, the first night it went live I could see 16GB Black in a store near me but I could never get beyond confirming the reservation....
