UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Apologies if it has already been discussed before but...it's a long thread.
I checked O2 prices, the price for the 64 IP6 seems to be around £729 on contract. Why on earth would somebody buy it on a contract when it can be had for £619 from Apple (and then you could buy a SIM only deal for around £7-£15 depending on the data allowance). That is assuming that one has the cash to buy it outright. I checked the O2's T&C, they say it's an interest free loan, but then why they charge a higher RRP? Shouldn't they be honest and say that actually it's not an internet free loan because....we charge you the interest in the higher RRP!

Just done the same and said all is fine with my order and will receive it next Friday.
I used the number in the App Store app, 0800 316 0540. Took 12mins to get through.
Crazy there is lots of iPhone 6 reservation stock left, I would have thought it been long gone.
Not until you call them back and activate the new SIM.
I received mine"Production week: 36 (September)"
Still nothing for me
Well they have to pay for their marketing somehow right? Plus O2 4G isn't that brilliant either so I wouldn't want to be paying that high price for that.
Heck, I'm planning on getting the phone sim free and sticking to a sim only plan as these 24 month contracts revealed yesterday are all rip offs.
Still nothing for me
I am sure you'll get yours very soon, is yours also arriving on the 19th?
Yeah, same here. I've been one the £12.90 rolling plan since getting my iPhone 4 unlocked about 18 months ago. Recently bolted the tethering on for a fiver. Store collection for Friday evening is booked, surprised at how easy the process was.
Now all I've got to do is work out how to get a new smaller SIM from three...
That's 1GB of Tethering for a fiver, right?
Why not get the new £15 a month (it's this price until the end of September, but you lock in the price if ordered now) SIM with unlimited data and 4GB of Tethering allowance?
Money is showing as taken from my account, but still on 'processing' stage. I seem to remember the iPhone 5 changing its status on the Tuesday...but it's so long ago, and was right in the middle of my university years, I could quite easily have been too drunk to remember.
Ordered my iPhone 6, 64GB, Space Grey and got my confirmation email at 08:33. Being delivered on 19th.
Checked my serial number and it was made in week 32 (August 4th-10th.) 32 seems to be the earliest I've seen on here so far.
Wonder when production started..

128gb Iphone 6plus is £789. Three unlimited one plan (no contract) is £15pm. Over 24m this costs £1149.
If I enter into a 24m contract I would expect to pay cheaoer than this over the 24 m term. Therefore why arent the Network providers offering this phone at around £900 unlimited data over the 24m? This would be the benchmark I would be paying. This would work out at a free phone 128gb on a £37.50 contract.
Im amazed that people are paying anything else. I assume most dont have the lump sum to buy outright.

Production week 33, August here.
I wonder if anyone has one from week 1, but I guess we don't know which month production began.
Production weeks relate to the week of the year, as shown here:

It's odd - you can get the 3 sim from Apple with 300 minutes of voice and unlimited data. Or from 3 direct with only 200 minutes of voice and unlimited data - both for £15 per month. Do they both allow tethering??
