UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

I too am looking for a space grey, but ideally a 16gb, so this is good news. Maybe I'll pop along to a store tomorrow in case, thanks for your help!

Just be warned - what I didn't add is that I was also told there are large queues outside Apple stores each day and that 16GBs are the most sought after phones. You might have better luck with one of the larger sizes. Sounds like Regent St might be your best bet if you can get there.

Calm down. People who ordered on the 20th still haven't received theirs yet. Never mind 25th.

32gb gold ordered 20th at 12.03 saying still in castle donnington, I live in manchester, will it go to a local depot there, or come direct from castle D. Thanks

Apple's order status is down for me! # I can't do my routine morning order check # It says "something went wrong with your request"!

Don't count on early delivery just because you live near the depot. The optimal route will be calculated for all the packages on the van and you could be either at the beginning or the end of the day's specific route.

You will get it later. They start with the deliveries the furthest away from the depot and work their way back (so they can drop the van off before going home).

Same for me Alex. Sorry to hear you've got the same problem but I'm glad it's not just me. Having only ordered last night I though there may be an issue!

Don't worry, apple store is usually shut down for maintenance for couple of hrs on Sunday.
It will be live soon

I didn't know that either! There was me thinking they might be changing my order status to 'Dispatched'

They dont need to take the store down to mark things as dispatched.

If the apple store was down for maintenance for 2 hours , there would be fever pitch around the web as people would assume new products are being released.

They do have outages now and then, but not a 2 hour scheduled maintenance .

More like the API or something was down

True, I thought the problem only affected me to start with though.

Anyones package at Castle Donnington showing no movement?

They do maintenance on sundays. Happened last week too.

Not until tonight. They will ship out to your local depot and be out for delivery tomorrow. If its in CD, it will be with you tomorrow.

 

[Wingzero]

I'm in London. My order originally said that it would be delivered on the 14th, but it changed to the 9th a few hours later.

Hope mine does the same.

It's got to merge with a product (red) case though.

 

[94at]

is there a chance my order has changed to preparing for dispatch on the apple store even if i haven't received an e-mail yet? it's still down -_-

So for all those whose Gold is arriving tomorrow... what case are you getting? I was thinking the Apple Beige one works quote well, though is perhaps a bit dull. I haven't checked out any other manufacturers cases yet; any recommendations?

 

[andrew1995]

Do you think I've got a good chance of receiving my phone tomorrow. It's currently in castle donnington and I near birmingham (Walsall/Cannock)?

My silver should arrive tomorrow. I know it's not gold but it's very similar. The case I've bought for mine is the switcheasy tones white case. I've opened it and it seems very well made, plus you get two front protectors, 1 back one, two plugs for the headphone port and two plugs for the lightning port.
