UK iPhone 5s and 5c Thread

Queue at Brighton with tickets being handed out.

Just sayin'

 

[Big Ells]

Me too, but I'm on a later train into London today so probably can't be there until 9.30!

If you go, would be great if you could let us know!

Its gonna take me like 15 min to get down there.

Manchester Arndale now has some stock. Got my ticket and standing outside waiting for the store to open at 9.

Every scalper in Glasgow must have read your post because this queue's 10x bigger than it has been the last few days, and it's full of people who you might say are not your usual Apple fanboys.

The same security staff that were here on launch day are standing outside so I'm guessing they've got stock.

Is anyone buying anything else when they go to the apple store or do they just get the phone and leave?

I feel like Tim Cook's policy really is the worst one when they have UK stock and don't do online orders.

They have a new retail chief who has seriously missed the mark and put profits before the famous apple core values.

If you talking about the guy they took from Dixons then he was fired (putting profits before customer service and staff morale) and as far as I am aware they have not yet replaced him yet

Good luck! I think I'm going to give it a go. If the scalper contingent is too big, I'll just cycle past and on to work near Tower Bridge!

I doubt they're monitoring the forum. They've likely got their own spotters and network. If we let them stop us from tipping off other forum members, then they've won.

I'm at bluewater apple shop now. About 20 people in the queue. Shop opens at 10.00 am so I'll let everyone know about iPhone 5s stock.

Brighton, Churchill Square, has stock of the 5s. Estimate between 5-20 of each model, from looking at the size of the card stacks. About 10 people queuing as I left with a 64GB space grey.

Hello, just got my ticket from apple staff from bluewater store.
They have some iPhone 5s's in stock but no Gold versions

 

[Scissors]

In the line now!

3 people in the queue at Solihull. Plenty of cards in their bags.

 

[Vidd]

So is this an England-only thing or are stores in Scotland and Wales experiencing the same thing?

Line is about 30 long at covent garden. No gold and no silver 64, but everything else in stock.

----------

Now no silver 16...

Wish I lived close to an apple store and didn't have work this morning

 

[gamezer0]

They have it in stock in Regent Street, but when I got to the queue, although they guaranteed some models (no gold though, for those interested), we were told that the we could be waiting for around hour and a half to get the phone Sadly that was too much for me since I work

So I guess I'll have to patiently wait for the online order. It is a bit annoying that they server everyone in the world before the UK (and I guess some other countries) online store...

 

[Scissors]

Actually the line is more like 60+ now I'm round the corner. Never done this before.

 

[Big Ells]

Ok CV have loads of grey stock. 30 silver left and no gold.

Do you know if they have/had any gold's available at the Arndale today? I've already ordered one online but if I can buy from a store earlier I'll cancel my online order

Leeds trinity store has 4people queuing for a small batch of iPhones, really wanted to join queue but had to go to work :-(

have you been checking since the release? i wonder, if it's worth checking the trinity every day or not.

 

[Big Ells]

So many scalpers. They are queuing twice. But staff here are on top and the line is moving quickly.

I think you need to get some perspective, the UK is in the first 9 countries to get the iPhone on launch, Apple are hardly "serving everyone in the world before the UK".

Imagine how customers in the next 91 countries who are still waiting for their first batch of phones sometime before the end of the year feel?
