UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

Would I be right in thinking that the most cost effective way of getting the 5s would be to get it sim free from apple and then choose a sim only carrier plan?

Most likely, can always work it out mathematically and compare.

For example I pay £5/mo with Virgin Mobile for 250 mins, unlim text / 1gb data which has been working great on my 4S (PAYG)

You're right... it's nonsense.

You can all go to bed.

I'll just keep an eye on things, and let you know if anything changes.....
 
USA Apple Online Store

Am keeping an eye on the USA Apple online Store, and even though its past 12:01am PST there, and the site is online, the 5C is showing as unavailable!! That doesn't bode well for us in the UK waiting for the 12:01 roll over... anyone know whats going on?

They are 7 hours BEHIND us. They dont get to order it until we've ordered ours and are all tucked up in bed.

Take a break, you can always order your iphone in the morning along with the Americans ;) Saves some for the rest of us :p hehe just kidding.
 
This is going to be the first time that I've tried to order a phone online, I'm actually feeling a bit nervous! I hope the servers don't go down as I'm trying to order or something, I don't want to be in a situation where I accidentally order 2 or 3, my bank won't allow it! :D

I'm in the same situation, first time ordering online, fingers crossed it all goes well :)
 
The servers never went down last year for the 5 but that was a lot earlier (8am). So there may have been less people.

Just gotta work our now, do I click for Silver or Gold...!? Dilemma!

same dilema! i'm edging towards gold.. it doesnt look as garish as I thought a gold phone would do..


also nice to see some familiar names from similar nights over the last few years! :rolleyes:
 
Just a friendly FYI for those ordering online. Try using your Apple Store app on your current handset. I've ordered both my 5 and my 4s that way and it is always quicker than the online store. Plus it tends to go 'live' before the website and doesn't ever get you to the basket stage only to give you an error!

Most of you probably already know this, but thought I'd share anyway!

Good luck to all ordering online! I'm off to Vodafone first thing to try and get me a silver / white model on a 12 month contract! Fingers crossed eh! :)

Either is fine by me as i'm going space grey! :) 64Gb for the win!

I was thinking about getting the Gold 32GB BUT with there being shortages (apparently on the gold) i'm not sure if i should go space grey. Would this make a difference as I'm ordering online? from Apple :confused:
 
I sure hope it arrives quicker than 7-10 days! I am not sure why I am staying up to order a phone which is going to arrive at least a week after release - I miss pre-orders :(
