one can only hope!
the only way we could get them tomorrow is if the phones are already in the UK and with the courier making its way to the local hubs.. nothing points to this.
the one lingering doubt is the email said specifically we can track from tomorrow morning.. maybe they do have stock they are re-allocating.
but logistically that would be a real ball ache given the phones are already with the courier. The serial number on support profile has not changed either..
ok writing all that has made my mind up for me.. it will come next week
Oh cool
So I'm guessing it's on a plane on the way to somewhere, hopefully straight to the UK for delivery tomorrow
This is exactly what mine says, fingers crossed! Sold my iPhone 5 and struggling with an iPhone 4 that won't connect to the internet at the minute
.Ive heard that the drivers have been told they are working this weekend, I think someone said that Apple support told them this and I also seem to remember reading it somewhere. It was an article saying that Apple had booked up a large chunk of all UPS flights out of china haha
The way the email is worded suggests we won't get tracking until saturday morning, that makes me think we might be getting phones that are already in the UK as I said relier maybe Phones4U stock
straws and clinging
wouldn't p4u stock be ones the lock to a carrier, i guess thats just an update to the stock DBs at apple to change but I just think apple would be crazy to do all this to deliver 2 days earlier
So it seems theres a whole bunch of us with an update showing that the phone was last scanned as an arrival scan in Incheon Korea at 19:10 hrs yesterday (which was yesterday morning for us)- and supposedly hasn't moved since then??........except we've all had mails from Apple saying that we will have our phones tomorrow? Now either a) its all bollox and they are still in Korea....
..or b) they flew out of Korea yesterday , and they will be here tomorrow. It is technically possible if they left yesterday I would say.

Wishful thinking!
Oh well I was initially told the 30th so I'm very pleased with monday the 22nd, saturday would just be a bonus
I wear fairly baggy jeans but even at that I would tend to put it in my back pocket rather than the front ones. I do understand how some people would find the 6 Plus a bit on the big side though!
mine was scanned at 19:10 on the 19th.. so today, and around 10:10am BST.
Incheon, Korea, Republic of 19/09/2014 19:10 Arrival Scan
Is the 10 October /17th moving for anyone ?,turned up at 6 30 Bromley today andy he 6 plus were gone now looking to reserve and collect if no movement on the delivery dates
Yea the tracking could be messed up for us if all the UK phones were shipped together as one item? That would explain:
19/09/2014-16:46-Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.
That is some amount of willpower! It's definitely a personal thing, my wife instantly said the 6 Plus is waaaay too big for her tastes but I guess that's why Apple released two screen sizes this time round.
Wishful thinking!
indeed.. i was over the moon to think Monday so anytime next week is a bonus!
I just want to know about tomorrow for sure, I'm meant to be taking my son to a 4th birthday party.. can't risk missing my delivery for the sake of playing party games!
but then again, with all of this tracking it is a bit like pass the parcel!
Thanks for this info! will try it tonight. hopefully will be up and running at midnight.
Looks like it'll be the 6 for me. Been playing with the 6+ and I love it a lot (amazing screen). But for everyday use for 12 months it's a bit impractical for me. Cramped my hand whilst trying to use it in portrait mode. Earlier.
I hope Apple brings out an iPhone 7 Air with reduced bezels all round.
The 6+ is perfect for road warriors who don't want to lug a tablet and/or laptop.

A global game of pass the parcel! lol The stress involved in an iPhone launch
we all love it really!Does opening Safari (the default blank page) and turning the phone in to landscape give the same result - a full screen blank white view?
I think in the morning it may be in the UK once it's landed you have no worries. Ive worked in a export company we've shioped a package at 6pm UK time and the next day it was delivered in China. I really admire ups they can pull Magic!
Tracking updated! Now got delivery date of 22/9/14 did have rescheduled delivery waiting dates or something like that.
Shenzhen, China 20/09/2014 4:00 Departure Scan
Notice:
Track with your UPS InfoNotice® Number (found above the barcode) and choose from up to four delivery change options:
Return to Sender
Deliver to a New Address
Reschedule Delivery
Hold for Customer Collection
Would be so easier for me to collect! Anyone know if I can get/find this number without going though Apple? Or even if it's possible before 1st delivery attempt :0

I admire the optimism!
I'll have a moan at apple for misleading me with the delivery times if it doesn't turn up
Nothing as yet, hoping to reserve tonight for pick up tomorrow as well, if there is nothing, then hopefully will see movement on my phone in the next few days.

I rang Apple earlier about this out of curiosity. Nice guy on the phone, he seemed to think they were sent in error ("we have had a lot of queries about these sir"). He reckoned the delivery would be Monday.
That said, this isn't the first time I've had a UPS status "hang" and then be out for delivery. Just seems like a lot of crazy extra effort to make a bee-line for the UK with these.
which number did you speak to apple on? I tried one and the line closed at 6-7 or something
