Both were sold by Keep in Case, who apparently are now out of stock. They weren't when I ordered. Sorry mate!
Thanks for your help.

Mmmmmmh... I'm considering the option of falling asleep at work on Friday and queuing at midnightYou have to queue, and in the morning the Apple staff come down the line and give out tickets, you won't know what stock is available until they get to you in the queue with the tickets, so you would need to go queue at midnight and be near the front if you want a 64GB plus.
Money taken yesterday, separate case order shipped yesterday and arrived this morning:

Sim only for existing customers. Just call upgrades and ask for it. They knew all about the plan and sorted it out. No haggle no problem
So wait you moved from Orange to them and asked for the deal? Please elaborate.
I got mine too.
I put my phone in it to give an idea how much bigger it was, and it didn't look much bigger. However, when holding the case and trying to reach the top corner with my thumb, I didn't have much room to spare. The 6+ would certainly have been too big for me given how I hold the phone.
I never considered the 6+ because I like these devices to be smaller (I've got my iPad if I need more screen space). I think I will quite like that bit of extra screen space that the 6 gives, but for me I'm almost certain the 6+ would be too big.
Funnily enough I was underwhelmed by my wife's case, it's hardly bigger than my 5S Speck case. My 6+ case seems fine, and I didn't think I had particularly large hands at all.
202 then upgrades to initially place the preorder, and then also to check on progress.
Last year's 5S delivery went to "Despatched" late on Tuesday. Then we followed the flights from Shenzhen -> Hong Kong - > Dubai / Cologne -> East Midlands.. By Thursday evening, about 9pm. Then onto UPS trucks, and they were delivered Friday morning on time. Beautifully synchronised.
So if this year follows last, then I'd expect to see Apple online orders switch to 'Despatched' later today/tonight.
Ordered on the 12th, with a delivery date 9/19.
Is still stuck in processing items. Money is held by Apple.
When will it change status?
Not sure why it says orange. I was already a Sim only EE customer.
I just called upgrade department and asked for this particular deal as an upgrade for my contract
Do some stores get more stock than others? For example, Apple Stores in shopping centres, such as the Birmingham Bullring? I'm betting there will be BIG crowds.
I agree 100% ,i was one of them that tracked my phone, but theres a slight problem today as theres a typhoon imminent in Hong Kong and its disrupting flights. http://www.hongkongairport.com/flightinfo/eng/cargo_dep.html
So, it turns out O2 are not fulfilling orders chronologically, but prioritising their existing platinum customers. I placed an order today for:
1x Gold 6plus 64gb
1x Gold 6plus 16gb
1x Silver 6plus 64gb
2x Gold 6 64gb
1x Slate 6 64gb
Upgrading 6 of my accounts at the same time, knowing that the current status is Out of Stock with a wait of 2-3weeks minimum and had a chat with my personal O2 customer service advisor and have been told they will all be despatched to me on Thursday for delivery on Friday, as a valued customer and had email confirmation of getting release day handsets as well it wont go down well with many who move networks a lot and havent been able to get hold of one over the weekend, but thats the state of play so it seems.
From my point of view im very happy as I didnt expect to get them this quick at all, but being a non-commercial customer with a spend level they appreciate is paying out this year
It would make sense that the bigger stores with higher footfall get more stock, but no one knows (at least no one willing to post those details on the internet).
True, it will be interesting to see how quick stock sells out. If people reserve a phone for in store pick up, does that eat into the store stock, or are they ordered separately and sent to the store? i would of thought Apple would of sent as much stock as possible to stores, in order to supply the demand. More stock = more selling which for them = more money.
Thats wrong, they came from the UK, see here:

Also the 4S was the same.
Basically if apple offer pre orders it means they are coming from the UK
Apple ship them over in batches and distribute them around the country. Most/all of the phones come from the Tamworth UPS warehouse.
I don't see anything wrong with this. I think it's well within their rights to allocate some of their stock for existing, valued customers. It's not like they delayed someone's order to dispatch yours quicker. They just reserve some stock for valued customers.
Each store has a separate stock for in-store pickups and what they call 'daily stock' which they just sell on the day. Neither will eat into each other.
Ok i didn't know that, has the online reserve been taken down? i've tried to look but it seems to have gone. I think even if i managed to look, all stock will probably have been reserved by now.
It is supposed to be back up at midnight, might check if I can reserve one![]()
