UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread
Do these new ones delivered all have no scratches/scuffs in perfect condition? Mine came their morning (Gold 32Gb), but I haven't opened yet as working, will be tomorrow.
Also week 41 is 14-20th Oct, they must be still tight with supply!
Also haven't seen any posts but how are the 5s holding up for scuffs in normal use? Any better than the 5? Is Gold ok? I know the 5 black was prone to it?
Thanks

Well that sucks! What you going to do? Send it back? I'm regretting sending mine back, but I wanted it new from the box - you know like I paid for! I know the original has made it back, but the replacement is sitting at processing item, but with a delivery date of 18th - 22nd Oct still. I'll give them a phone tomorrow to 'remind' them
Yes it does suck!
Anyway, yeah it's going back. It's a bigger problem than the original issue. I have read that stuck pixels sometimes fix themselves but I'm not taking that chance and they can keep sending new ones til it's right as far as I'm concerned.
The service I have received has been very good which is one positive. When I called today I the guy wasn't sure what the procedure was so spoke to his supervisor. The supervisor was apparently confused by the fact I still had the original phone. But after that was cleared up he was happy to issue another replacement, once I have returned the original phone. That's fair enough. I've to email him when the phone is picked up and he'll "get that replacement replacement sent right on out to [me]". TNT pick up the original on Thursday. Then I'll have to return the stuck pixel phone at a later date.
Today for the first time I asked about compensation. I accept that not every iPhone can be perfect but this is the second time they have let me down so I don't feel bad asking about that. The answer was that a discussion will be had once I am satisfied with my purchase.
Any indication when you will get your replacements?

My phone has been in transit from stansted to Feltham since 07.49am this morning
UPS just updated with:
THE PACKAGE WAS MISSED AT THE UPS FACILITY. UPS WILL DELIVER ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY
He said it may move from processing to shipment tomorrow, so anywhere between the 18th-22nd, which it always said on the website. I had a feeling my main rep was telling porkies
Just got home!
It's beautiful.

Haven't got a sim card yet though. It's gonna have to stay unactivated until Wednesday!
You haven't got a small pair of sharp scissors?

I was thinking about doing that! But I've got a nano sim on its way from Orange now
Means I still have to wait! Am I right in saying that the sim free phones from Apple don't lock to a network?

No, it always stays unlocked, no matter what.
16GB Gold iPhone 5S finally dispatched today around midday! Estimated delivery was the 4th of November but UPS are showing it as the 17th of October. Phone currently in Hong Kong
Mine was in Hong Kong on Saturday (12th), but it says today it's in London, estimated delivery date is 22nd October (ordered 30th Sept)
It only takes 11-12 hours from HK to Europe and an hour or 2 from there to the UPS facility at Stanstead or the Midlands.
So, after UPS messing up and moving my order to Watford, it has just departed and I will definitely have it tomorrow
Edit: It has now arrived in Barking… Still nowhere near where the delivery location is, but there is a UPS depot 5 minutes away from my house so maybe it will move to there. Hmmm

I ordered on the 25th (Space Grey 16G) and still have received no delivery dates. Was told last Friday on the phone to Apple that (1) the dispatch processes work on a strict first come, first served basis; and (2) my status should update in 'a couple of days'. No such luck.
Getting incredibly frustrated with this now.
