Well the way the email says we can track on saturday I would imagine we will get a second dispatch email or something with an updated number? Absolutely no idea! But I remain hopeful!
True, just gotta be patient i suppose and wait till tomorrow morning.
I understand you so much!!
Feels like it's will never come ): any chance it will arrive earlier?
Interesting, I have just phoned Apple and the Irish Chap said yes, you will be receiving it tomorrow. He said UPS don't usually deliver on a Saturday, but they are flying from China / Korea tonight and landing at the terminals. The drivers are loading the vans straight from there and delivering them especially for Apple.
Phoned UPS CS and they said there was a recent update that Apple have asked for Saturday deliveries to get them out.
My email at 15:06 has not been corrected since? Perhaps I have been lucky?
After cancelling with Three over their unacceptable mess of a preorder/delivery (or lack of) I decided to order from Apple directly.
As expected, big waiting time, but oh well.
Processing Items - Delivery: 15th - 22nd October
Will go SIM only with Three this time.

Mine was 7 - 10 eta 29th Sept. Moved to 23rd yesterday. But now I get this:
Make of that what you will, theres a pattern of moving dates up. Either way I shan't complain about it getting here sooner if it does.
Maybe some hope for those with a 3 - 4 wk eta

A good way to tell if your iPhone has been shipped is to log into your support profile. If your iPhone 6 is listed with the serial number is has been PICKED and SHIPPED!

Screen protector
Does anyone know where I could pick up a decent screen protector? My expected delivery from Amazon didn't arrive today and I daren't use my shiny new iPhone 6 without a but of protection. I live in Solihull, is there anywhere that might have them on the shelves?

I know, feels like we've been forgotten, there is a possibility yes but I am beginning to lose hope now
Yeah I agree. It's very practical and easy to handle so far. Typing on my 5s feels totally ridiculous now. That said, my wife's 6 is also super nice. I can totally get why some people want that size instead.
It says 15th - 22nd Oct but I guarantee you you will be playing with your new iPhone weeks before even the first date! Mine was originally 1st - 6th but it's already dispatched and now the estimated delivery is 22nd Sept
Ups
Finally arrived via UPS NW London
Had an interesting chat with the driver. He was telling me that two of their UPS trucks had been hijacked at Oxford Street whilst they were trying to deliver to the Apple Regent store He said its quite a common occurrence during iPhone launches but their company keeps it quiet and out of the media.
Funny thing he was also telling me i was customer number 89 for the iPhone and that he had just delivered some shipments in my area to ee and Vodafone when a couple of kids tried to jump him. He told them that it wasn't worth it and that there was CCTV all around. They thought better and let him get on with it.
Quite a jolly chap for someone who had been working all day .They are working overtime tomorrow as they just have to many to deliver
Anyway time for some unboxing

Seriously? Maybe I will get a change in my movement soon ish then
If it left on a non-UPS flight, the only one I can see that left Korea that could get anywhere near on time for shipping in the morning is KLM856, due to land in Amsterdam at 3:37am UK time, perhaps enough time to take the stuff off and stick it on another plane for a quick hop to the UK... just don't see it happening!
Ukmail messed up and couldn't find my address so now I've spent 10 minutes giving them directions on the phone to be told oh it won't be today it'll be tomorrow between 7am-1pm I've wasted a whole day waiting for a delivery they knew they couldn't deliver
I stayed up till midnight a few days, same message that night and not changed since. Maybe tonight it will be updated but it has been like that for a few days now.
I got this e-mail at 15:14 :-
Dear Dealmaker,
Your dispatch notification email displays an estimated delivery date for next week. We are pleased to inform you that the scheduled delivery for your iPhone 6 Plus has been updated to 20.09.2014.
On Saturday morning you will be able to track your order by visiting Order Status.
Thank you for choosing Apple.
The Apple Online Store.
Looks like you will be getting them tomorrow then, if not then Monday, but it is still early compared to the original date given.

Fingers crossed I'll see it a bit sooner yeah!
I'm keeping an eye on my Three account to make sure my upgrade definitely gets cancelled. They said it would take up to 48hrs and then at that point I can choose to upgrade to a SIM only plan or re-order an iPhone if I want to (YEAH RIGHT
)Once it's definitely cancelled then I'll get my new SIM sorted in time for my 6 from Apple.
I was speaking to an Apple Specialist on the phone and on chat today and they said that Reserve & Pickup in Store would be available from 12.01am on 20 September. Not sure as to how true that is though.
The 6+ is a behemoth.
I'm always reminded I'm using a 5.5" phone and have to switch hands after 45 mins or so.
The 6 however feels like a regular iPhone.
The fact that the 6+ has a lower contrast ratio to the 6 is also noticeable when compared side by side.
