UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[madmads]

Well my slot from UK mail has come and gone with no sign of the phone. I'm working today and my mum wants to go out. She's house sitting!


Edit : scrap that just arrived roll on 5pm!

 

[ajspurs]

Have got some pictures that I posted on another site

Woohoo mine has just been delivered by UPS! Unboxing now...

 

[Gadge Goblin]

Well after a few hours kip it's time to open this bad boy up...... Here we go

In the preorder queue now at Regent Street store. Pretty long as it is, glad I'm not in the general queue.
Seems pretty organised though, they're turning away people who don't have a reservation email for the correct time slot.

First impressions then -

as someone who uses a passcode lock, coming from a 5, I haven't gotten into the habit of using touch ID.

i can't easily reach top left, and I have average sized hands for a guy of 5'10

lovely tho.

Just went to get a case from the Leeds apple store. Not a huge queue, but I have no idea what it was like earlier or what stock levels are now. Plenty of cases though - online order cancelled.

 

[taytos]

supposedly landed on time

Well I was completely wrong!

How are you liking the HiRise? I have one that ought to have been delivered today, but the postie has already been. Bah.

I actually really like it. Had it for a wee while and I find it sturdy, well made and nice and easy to access the device.
I really wouldn't fault it, pricey maybe for what is after all just a dock but you do get the quality you pay for.
Plus it's handy having it so easily adjustable for different devices and cases.

If I remember correctly from last year, Dubai, Cologne, Stansted/East Midlands.

Geeking out a bit and should probably just grow up... but per http://www.hongkongairport.com/flightinfo/eng/cargo_dep.html (my UPS status mentioned Chek Lap Kok in an earlier update) if our phones are going via Dubai, they either left today at 11:31 (04:31 BST) or they will be leaving on Sunday at 03:25 (Saturday evening at 20:25 BST). If they were on the earlier flight, then given it takes 8 hours, I guess we'd see tracking data from Dubai in the next few hours. In all likelihood though, I'd work on the basis it's the Sunday flight.

Anyone by any chance been to the Victoria Square Apple store today? Any iPhone 6 cases knocking about?

 

[NATO]

Anyone in Belfast have any more updates via UKMail?

Nothing yet - still 'at delivery location', according to UKMail via Twitter it should still be delivered today. I wonder if their drivers are doing multiple runs today?

 

[jockey0924]

OMG OMG OMG mine just arrived

How come earlier than mine,,,argggggh!!!!!LoL, Congras Bro!!!

 

[damnspynovels]

Is anybody at this store? I just want to know if you can go in and play with the new phones - or is it just too rammed with the queues etc?
I just wanna see 'em!

I just went into the Leeds one - the crowds are managed as the queues are kept away from the shop doors. I'd say it was at its usual lunch time business inside.

Same here, though I am getting used to it, the same can be said for the side power/lock button.

It will feel all natural once I've used it a bit more though.

Pics of some phone or other

Where did you get that bedspread? I must have it!

Great, thanks for the info.

My 6 has arrived, just updating from iCloud and i'd say it feels just right! My 5s feels decidedly small when I pick it back up.

 

[TrueBlou]

so how many 6+ owners who got their phones today think its too big and want to change for a 6?

Hmmm...... Nope

 

[steveing64]

Its arrived

 

[istarfly3r]

No sign of UPS yet... Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

The wait is killing me........

 

[Mags141]

C'mon Edinburgh UPS!

Whats the latest they could arrive? I have to leave at 5pm. Okay that's not strictly true, I'll stay in, but grrr!

They told me that by 'end of day' means up to 7pm.

 

[dannymcg]

It's here! iP6+ 128GB Space Gray. Delivered in scheduled hour slot by UK Mail in North London. Hoping restoring from iCloud won't take hours.

No sign of UPS yet... Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

My two are out for delivery with DPD - should be delivered between 13:36 and 14:36

iPhone 6 Gold 64 GB
iPhone 6 Silver 64 GB

I ordered at 20:00 last Friday with EE over the phone...

What do people recommend; restore from an iCloud backup (I'm running iOS 8 on my current iPhone 5) or set it up as a new phone?

 

[H1JJY]

I may have had my new 6 since 8am, but due to EE giving me a new SIM, I can't leave the house without both phones (my old 5 and new 6) as its still yet to swap over to the new SIM
