UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[Brian Y]

Sorry if this has been answered but I reserved an iPhone for collection on Friday and I just wanted to make sure it was 100% guaranteed i'd get one (without queuing).

I literally just want to walk in, show them my details and pay for the phone (sim free).

I think this is the first time reservations have been available in the UK, right?

There will be two queues, one for reservations, one without. By about 10/11 am, things will be back to normal at all but flagship stores.

Is this odd? I ordered my phone on the 12th at 9.31am to get a delivery date of 10th to 17th Oct, my cousin just recently pre ordered hers which is iphone 6 64gb in grey and has the same week as mine? Shouldnt it be later or is it just because it is an iphone 6 and mine is iphone 6 plus?

Tomorrow morning, the very first thing you would do is to check your status, and wow...Wow...WoW...WOW...Dispatched

Damn right, before even brushing while still in bed, i'll pop on my account to check for it

iPhone 6 is more available than the 6 Plus.

Probably just because the stock for i6+ was slim and quickly went to 3-4 weeks and the i6 had more stock so it took longer to go to 3-4 weeks.

Pretty quick to check via the Apple Store app, don't even need both eyes open

Yeah that makes sense, just wanted to check cheers!

No they wont, only Apple will know for sure.

That was the Apple CSA in the US

Has anyone else had problems after ordering through the Apple Store with financing? I got my order for a silver 64GB iPhone 6 through just after 9am on the 12th, but because Barclays were so inundated with applications it took them until Saturday night to send the final email to confirm my finance. I called them and they said everyone was in the same boat.

My order is still showing as 'awaiting payment' on the Apple Store. I called them yesterday and they said they knew the finance was approved and the status wasn't updating because of the volume of applications being approved by Barclays. I'm getting a bit worried that because of the status not changing and Barclays being slow I'll not be getting it in the first batch and I'll have to wait the 4-6 weeks.

I have ordered with financing on Friday morning, got approved on Friday evening, and just a couple of hours ago the order has changed from Awaiting Payment to Processing Items. Dispatched 3-4 weeks. Delivery between 10 and 17th of October

Did you order online or over phone? I ordered on phone and I can see my new contract plan but the phone section says there has been a problem. No phone, date or anything.

Mine is like this too, should we be worried? Was messed about anyway, they called two hours after I'd ordered and said delayed. Should have stuck to the website instead of trusting Indian call centres :-(

Thanks for the comments about GiffGaff guys, think I might not activate that sim!

I didn't get any call delaying though. In fact I called twice over 2 days and they still said 19th. Worried though since there is nothing showing. Problem is I have no phone now since last night so if they call to delay I won't know.

Sorry if this has been covered, but does anyone know if there will be additional iPhone 6 Plus stock at the stores on top of those that have been reserved?

I assume if I have to queue it'd be a good idea to do it as early possible (midnight perhaps?), considering the Space grey 128GB looks like the most in demand.

Just speaking of queuing, I've personally found you can get out a LOT quicker if you queue earlier. For example if you start at 2am and the store opens at 8am, you can usually be out by 8:30-9:00am. Yet if you start at 5am you'll be out by 10-10:30am. Whilst the 5am slot is shorter by about an hour to two hours, you have a much better chance of getting the device you want, thus it not being a wasted trip.

Kind regards,
Francis

Don't worry about asking! I've been stressing about the very same thing!

Keep having to remind myself that it's just a phone and it'll be there for me on the day. Apple's service has never let me down!

No doubt stupid but how do you reserved a phone for store pick up?

Every time I try there's no option to reserve and collect in store. Just pay and get it delivered.

I've tried the app on my phone and the website from my laptop but don't see any options to reserve one.

Since i upgraded over the phone on Friday with Three the mythree section of the website shows my new contract plan. Problem is the section underneath that says my phone is an error message saying there is a problem. This is the same on both my accounts.

It looks like other peoples are showing the phone picture and contract start date along with shipment date.

Has anyone else upgraded over the phone and has the phone listed along with contract renewal date and shipping date? Maybe this is only if you have ordered online.

Same for me! I ordered on the phone. Really wish if done it online. I trust machines more than threes staff :-(

You can't reserve any now anyway, at least not for launch day as all reservation stock is now allocated.

Here is the link but the service is currently unavailable now.

Any other Three customers here?

Ordered from Three on Saturday morning (I tried Friday but the site was down for so long) as an upgrade via online service. iPhone 6 Space Grey 64GB. Went through fine.

Delivery date on my account/the email they sent currently says 19th September but I've seen about 4/5 people's get changed to the 3rd after calling them to confirm?

I havent phoned them to confirm the date as I'm paranoid this will jinx it into changing to the 3rd. I'm hoping their online 'listing' for the delivery date on my account is accurate/updated ad-hoc, and stays as the 19th. I've been keeping an eye on their reps sending out tweets. One of them said that (in response to a similar question) if it was going to be changed, they'd have done it by now.

That being said, still hearing horror stories of dates getting pushed back even after the initial 19/9 confirmation. If you try and buy one now as a new customer it says 3rd October or later, model dependent.

I know at this point calling them probably wont make a difference other than confirming good/bad news, but yeah. As it happens I'm not working on Friday so I guess I'll just wait for the delivery notification text from DPD (their usual company). If nothing then I guess it's the 3rd!

Oh no now I'm paranoid
