UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

What do you think has happened to mine then? Is it worth enquiring?

yeah for sure. It seems like they have problems with a fair amount of orders (delivery address not matching billing and so on) so it has to be worth a call in the morning just to put your mind at ease.

I've had cpw orders before though which didn't result in ANY delivery emails but then just a dpd text on the morning of the delivery so you may be ok.

Is it the Friends & Family discount you get? If so you don't get 30% off the Refresh tariff, it's now 50% off the airtime tariff

Nah, it's just like a fringe benefit that the company I work for offers. 50% would be awesome...

Phew, luckily didn't do this. Gone ahead and activated 3 on my 5S and requested unlock through their site (fingers crossed)

Hey, just wondering if the unlock for three has gone through okay? Am planning on doing the same thing tomorrow.
 
Anyone else trying apple stores again tomorrow? As long as my online order sits in processing, I'll be try a store daily I think.

Please report back if anyone manages to get one from any UK Apple Stores this week.
 
Order a white/silver from 3 as soon as it went live on the 3 website on friday morning. Expected delivery date 18th of october.

What are the chances that 3 will receive stock before this?? Surely they must get some stock within the next 3/4 weeks?

Glad you got it sorted! I was originally set on just getting a 32GB, was always going to be Space Grey, but decided instead of paying a £50 premium for a 32GB from CPWH, to just go for the 64GB! Tuesday is a million miles better than waiting till the first week of October :)

Might do the same, I ordered later too so mine is going to come in the last week at the very earliest.

Thanks for the advice, just called and my order had been stopped due to my card being flagged! So asked them to change it to an in-store pickup, should be at the Hull store for me on Tuesday! :)

Did they say it was the internal security check failure?
They told me that if I got one of those I'd have to wait 30 days before I can order online and that I best do it in store.
 
I have ordered a 32GB 5S grey today on a refresh tariff but I am hearing O2 are out of stock even though their site shows in stock.
Is this true?

When I placed my order on Saturday morning, I spoke to a lady on the phone to O2 to settle my existing phone tariff, so I could complete the upgrade process.

During this she said she wanted to check with managers before we went further, as there were conflicting reports on their stock levels, the website said in stock, but they were getting emails that it was delayed delivery and they were out of stock. She put me on hold then came back and said, if we settle the bill and I hang up and order online, I will get one by Tuesday.

Mine is now on the delivery van, due tomorrow between 2-6, cool story bro? :confused: /shrug

Yes and Yes!
 
Well, walked into a Three store last Friday and upgraded my wife and my contracts with a 32gb 5S. Got the last 2x 32GB Space Grey models in store. No queueing, no messing. Was less painful than i imagined it to be.
 
It seems that in the US, online order for in-store pickup has now been started. As I recall, this didn't start in the UK last year until well into October although it was a real lottery getting hold of one even then - I used it to try an iPhone 5 but gave it back as I wasn't sufficiently impressed to justify spending £600.

Any reliable information about the likelihood of online ordering/in-store pickup starting here? I'm very sceptical personally, given that worldwide stocks are so tight.

Try their store mate, as their stores always get priority. I got a silver from a store, although they only had a couple and loads of space grey
 
Tried on Regents Street Apple Store this morning, but they had no units of any color :(

At least I could see the 5S for the first time. I ordered the black and now I don't know if I prefer the white/silver :S

Going to London next Sunday, do you think there's any chance of getting hold of a space gray unlocked? What stores besides Apple Store sells unlocked 5S?
Click to expand...

I've just been to the Regent St. store. They have had no new deliveries of the 5S this morning or over the weekend. They seemed doubtful that any would come in soon and suggested I try later in the week.

When (if) they do come in they will revert to the ticketed queue system. So, if you do come then come early and join a queue.

One thing though. If they get a delivery on Saturday that will sell out. I don't know if they get Sunday deliveries so it might be worth checking before hand to confirm if they get a delivery on Sunday.
 
I don't think any stores got deliveries today...none in Cardiff St Davids 2 either...US store has just implemented reservation system as per last year, but no sign of that in UK store. Shame.

still stuck at processing:/ 7-10th october come on apple:mad:
Click to expand...

What do you mean come on Apple? They've stated when we will get our orders so there's no point to keep checking. Once the pallets/European consignment have been loaded onto the plane it will usually arrive in Amsterdam before being delivered to the UK. Once it's handed over to the courier we will get our orders between the 7th-10th just like the e-mail/website says. I've always ordered via the Apple Store and the delivery estimates are always accurate.
