UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

Do you think I can get a Plus if I go to a big Apple Store in London around 2pm on Friday? Or the stock will be very limited? :eek:
 
I'm increasingly beginning to think that the 19/9 delivery batch might already be here in the UK because I remember last year I received the email from Apple to say my iPhone 5S had been dispatched roughly a week before it was finally delivered to me by UPS and on that occasion the delivery process had started off in China. If our iPhones are coming from China and are due to be delivered in 4 days, I would assume they'd have been dispatched by now surely...? Or perhaps they have been dispatched but we've yet to be notified of this! Who knows, as long as they come on Friday but it would be comforting to know for sure though!
 
Guys **** Envirofone, honestly, never use them, go with O2 recycle. They're telling me my money will transfer on the 22nd of September. I'm so pissed off and so screwed if I can't sort a temporary £250 payment... ****!!

I need to be in the office at 9am lol
The idea is waiting a few hours until the queue decrease to a decent level, but the chances of getting one decrease with the queue :confused:
My order online is still on processing items and delivery 30sept-3oct :(

I think you're right. They're probably being held in a distribution centre somewhere in the country.
 
Was curious as to when Apple are going to ship the phones out to the UK, so I decided to phone Apple's dispatch team, they told me that the orders arriving on launch date should be dispatching tomorrow/the day after, as they are experiencing a 'huge delay'.

They could be in the UK I guess, but either way, it will make its transit to our local depo's in the next day or so

well good luck, seeing how limited are left, i'd be surprise you get what you need by 2pm, i'd imagine a lot of people would be queuing for them and buy 1 or more.

iPhone 6 (case) on way

Evening everyone,

I preordered my iPhone 6 (4.7 128GB white/Silver) through Vodafone's website last week for collection at my nearest Vodafone store as the last time I preordered it didn't get delivered until 16:45 and I was far from amused!

Over the weekend I also ordered the official Leather Case from Apple which should be here tomorrow according to the email I've had tonight!

The track my order part on the Vodafone website is still not giving me a delivery/collection date so I'm hoping that will change in the next day or two!

Hope everyone gets theirs on the 19th!

:)

If the iPhones were coming from China, the latest it could be dispatched for Friday delivery is Wednesday.
 
O2 website saying phone will be delivered within 3 weeks. Carphone Warehouse saying 19th September.

I don't trust them though. :(
 
Well if anyone is after a iPhone 6 128GB in White/Silver - let me know!
I have mine coming on the 19th, but Ive also ordered a 6+ as I want that instead now.
Hence my 6 will either go back to Apple, or be resold - Im not interested in any profit, so will resell it for the normal Apple price to be honest. It gives someone else a chance to have a new phone straight away, and I get my money back. Everyone's a winner!!

I nipped in to the local three store at lunchtime to ask. The nice bloke said they'd sort one out there and then if I had some ID to verify I was the contract holder. All done in 5 minutes and they chucked in an adapter to use in the iPhone 4. New SIM was activated 20 minutes later.

No charge, although I've got a receipt for £5.something that was discounted instore.

I did the same EXACT thing as you today, and at lunch time too! Same process but I didn't get receipt. Woman just said its free.

Lets hope you're right! Someone from the dispatch team at Apple also said the same:
