UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

alFR said:
Mine is (as far as I can tell, comparing it to my iPad and MBP) absolutely fine. No screen "interlacing", no yellow tint. I did have an odd camera bug today where it would appear to take the photos but not save them to the camera roll: cured by a reboot, I guess it's an iOS7 bug that will get fixed (I've reported it to Apple). Otherwise no issues (apart from the gyro, but I'm not really counting that as a problem at this point as it's so widespread and very likely to get fixed).

glad to hear you got a good screen, mine is defiantly yellow tinted, especially noticeable when reading Mac Rumours :) (or any other white background) in the dark when the brightness is set low.
 
Ordered a 16GB Gold from three on Saturday expecting it not to arrive until the end of the month (as advertised on their site).

Received dispatch note last night and it should arrive this morning via DPD! :)

Just a heads up if anyone is interested in stock levels.
 
Thank The Lord my iPhone 5s is finally here and working this time.
Anything I need to check regarding the level issue?

I'm the exact same. The "by" made me hope there may be some movement before the 18th. How long do they normally sit on preparing for? If we are expecting a Friday dispatch I'd expect it to change fairly soon?

Yeah me too. I'm going to be phoning them at lunch (in about an hour) so will let you know what they say. Not gonna be so nice this time, as now I'm really annoyed. People who order today are getting shipping dates. I have no date, money has been held for 9 days. Really takes the pi**. :mad:

Same here, even though i ordered on the 7th of October and its Silver 32.
Ridiculous that despite your nearly week earlier purchase date we will be getting it the same time

Let us know how you get on. I've phoned twice now. The second time (yesterday) the guy agreed to keep his eyes on my account and gave me his personal Apple email address for me to keep in touch with him at. He has requested some sort of shipment update and I'm waiting on him getting back to me. Notwithstanding the above both him and the woman I spoke to last Friday were very general in their answers and just kept repeating the line of 'we totally understand and apologise. Your phone is ready to ship and it should change in the next few days.'

I'd just like a degree of clarity at this stage. They contacted my bank and requested an authorisation for the money well over a week ago now. It was pending for the 10 day period and then dropped back on to my available balance due to them not shipping. Its ridiculous.

Hope you get on okay.
 
dispatched now!

Silver 64GB
Ordered 3rd October

11 days on "Preparing for dispatch"

delivered: 23 oct
 
Well wouldnt you just know it. I was about to go make a rather angry call to Apple and just before I got up to leave the office to do so, I got an e-mail. My iPhone has dispatched. Est delivery October 23rd. I'm still tempted to make a complaint as it's been so poorly handled.

But YAY! :D

Three have stocks of the iPhone. Went into the shop this week and I could have walked out with one however, buying from Three you are then locked into their network unless you pay for an unlock.

In my mind buying from Apple was just easier and less hassle. My 4S still works fine so I'm not that fussed!
