UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Over the last few months I have been suffering the same with data running out or close. I have suspected it's 02 over calculating usage. Sometimes I have had to buy an additional amount of data, this puts the price close to what a 5gb contract is, hence why my contract for the 6 will be 5gb.
So, I ordered a silicon case and it's not going to be delivered until October.
Anyone got any suggestions for UK sellers of a half-decent case while I wait for my Apple one? I am too clumsy to be carrying a naked iPhone6.
Same, I've cancelled my online order and will call into the Apple Store and pick one up instead of waiting.
I'd say HIGHLY unlikely (although it varies on where you live). For the iPhone 4S or 5 (cant remember), i'd phone the Apple shop everyday and everyday they'd say the same, non in stock and we don't know when new stock comes in. Best thing to do is phone your local Apple shop everyday until they have your variation of iPhone in stock.
Good luck!
My 2 year contract with O2 ends on the 21st. I moved to a 12 month sim only plan. Unlimited text & calls with 3GB data for £20. They gave me a £3 loyalty discount which drops the price to £17.
I've had two iPhones so far both on contract but I'll always buy sim free from Apple in future.
I'm pretty sure phones and accessories are shipping separately, my order for an iPhone 6 and leather case has the 2 items at different stages. They must also have been billed separately because my bank wanted me to confirm the £619 charge from apple, the cost of the phone, rather than the total sum of the order. I don't think people should be cancelling if they ordered multiple items and some are delayed.
Requested a PAC code from 3.
If anybody has experience cancelling with 3, you'll understand it's usually painful , with the agent refusing to cancel for over 30 minutes reeling network features, offering competitive deals. I even had it once I cancelled after the agent and manager couldn't offer me a deal and after 30 mins, the senior manager rang back and offered me 15Gbs data for my ipad for. £5.11 a month!
This time, ask for PAC code , explain that the cost is too much for iPhone. Explain Vodafone deal. Three agent apologises, says loads of people are calling the same, and he can't do anything. He said if I wanted sim only unlimited everything, he could maybe do it for £15.50.
Refused, PAC given over phone - whole process around 3 minutes!

I want an official case from Apple but don't want to order separately now I have 6 in case if holds it up the 6 delivery. Also don't know wether to go for leather or silicone one
Mines now changed to Preparing for dispatch so all good here, took its time though. Plus, 64 gig. Waiting for my serial to show so I can check it. Ordered yesterday morning around 8:28
If you order separate it won't hold up delivery. Ordering them together might but separate won't.
Morning all!
Well yesterday was a disappointment Wanted to reserve a + in Plymouth but all colours, in all three memory capacities are showing as available! I know they're in short supply but I'm not overally convinced any went up for reservation!?
Anyone manage to reserve one at Drake Circus, Plymouth by any chance...?

The networks have always been a rip off and even more so this time round.
For an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB EE charges £149 upfront then £63.99 for 24 months which over the total life of the contract will set you back around £1,686. Add in my wife's iPhone 6 64GB EE charges for example £149 upfront then £45.99 for 24 months which will be around £1,253. That is a total spend of £2,939.
So from the Apple Store I have just purchased an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and iPhone 6 64GB outright SIM free for around £1,400. With a SIM only contract from 3 Mobile for £15 each over 12 months, which I will probably extend to 24 then that is £30 * 24 = £720. So total spend is £2,120 which is a saving of £819. Those 3 Mobile SIM only deals give me all you can eat data, 200 mins (300 mins 3 to 3), unlimited texts, 4GB tethering, free 0800 calls and Feels At Home where in places like Italy, Australia and USA you can use your phone as you would at home and not worry about roaming costs (25GB limit on data abroad
If you cannot afford to buy a phone outright then your old phone should make up some of the difference (about £180 for an iPhone 5 in good condition on phone trade in websites) and Apple also have interest free credit available if you need to make up the difference.
Not only that if I did decide I wanted a change after 12 months to the S line or to Android then I could, or even after a few months I would probably get most of my money back for the iPhone.
I'm doing the same as you, buying 2 iPhone 6's much cheaper in the long run to buy from apple and get sim only deal.
Apple aren't doing interest free any more
I've got a new halifax credit card with 0% interest on purchases for 20 months.
Ordered Vodafone upgrade yesterday morning. Had 'received' email but nothing else yet. Order not showing as confirmed. Panicking as don't know whether this means there's a problem or if it's just sheer volume of orders.
why do i feel those of us who got "preparing for dispatch" today are going to receive their iPhones before the 19th?
FINGERS CROSSED!
Really?!? Has that ever happened before?
Anyway, my 64gb 6 (week 33) fwiw same build week as my iPhone 4 and that was perfect.
Someone please answer this if possible.
Yesterday, Envirofone decided they weren't going to pay me, they also told me that Saturday isn't a working day, this means the earliest I'm going to get payment is Monday. I know I don't have enough in my bank as I was relying on money from my 5S, but I still managed to place an order for the 19th of a Gold 6 Plus (as I was expecting the money to be transferred later that day and was hoping that Apple would take a while to process orders, which they did) But it now says on the order page that "Payment action is required and that they are unable to get authorisation, because I don't have sufficient funds, but also says they will continue seeking authorisation.
Does anyone know if this will be a massive problem, if I get paid by Envirofone on Monday or Tuesday it should still all be cleared by Thursday for them to deliver, but obviously there are two days inbetween, will they give up trying and just cancel my order (in which case I will have to try and borrow money as quick as possible) or will they keep trying until I have all the money and everything will be fine and I'll receive 'me goods on the 19th?
Thank you
