Damn I was in a party with friends in my university.
I was so hurry for the online reservation and reached my house at 11.55.
There's nothing. It keeps saying "Please come back later".
Poor my life..

Very true but i'm basing this on the iphone 6/6+ launch lol but anyways no use complaining, the phones will come when they are meant to.
managed to reserve a 6+ last night for a 6 o clock pickup from the westfield stratford store. Travelled 50 miles from Reading and they told me that they had a system error and simply turned me away. So much for Apple treating customers in a different way.
On the contrary, I think complaining serves a purpose, since it highlights issues to the business concerned.
Yeah true but for me I dont bother, there is more to life than complaining, but I see your point.
It's like Apple doesn't want me to get this phone you know.
I guess I can't really complain if my original date was Sep 30th - Octo 3rd.
I really hope I get it on Monday.
Aww I am sure you will, think positive, I am still inthe 10th to 17th bracket and I have hope it will come earlier.
I have the i6 and I just want to swap it out for the i6+. The battery is pretty poor on the 6 and my hands are bigger than I realised.
If people don't complain and accept poor service then they will always get poor service.
I accept that and in general I do complain for poor service but when it comes to this I am in a queue to get the phone, the phones are in high demand so I cant be disappointed at every little turn, it wont get me anywhere but yes I do understand where you are coming from. Your point is valid and correct.
I dont think it will be up anytime soon, apparently it could be up at 6am, so if I am awake, will check it out.
That's odd because when I looked yesterday at the availability for 6+ at midnight in Stratford I could have swore it said unavailable for all of them for me.
Pretty sure as I remember reserving the 6 I wanted and saying wow they are all available I wonder what about the 6+ and there was nothing.
I'd wait until the weekend is over to rely on stock checks on internet. There won't be any deliveries today hence this isn't up yet.
Just checked the Apple website to see the status of my case order (which is going via Packet+ so with Royal Mail currently) and also checked the status of my iPhone order that has of course been delivered, on the 19th, which was the date it was always said to be delivered on.
It says delivered and my name as having signed for it, which is correct, but also now has an estimated delivery date of the 22nd?! Not sure I'd put much faith in the estimated date on the Apple site at the moment.

Yes you are right most were uncollected reservations which are kept for 24 hrs but they also mentioned they had a trickle in at my local apple store
I would like to warn people about the Black Silicone Apple cases, they are not black at all, they are a middling grey, not even close to black.And yes looking at the case on the Apple website now I can see it's grey, but the thing is called black, its even on the box.
Just a heads up for people.
I'll second this, saw them in store today and thought 'I didn't know there was a grey case available' looked at the back and saw the word black. It's a dark grey not black but looks better that way IMO.
I rang my store today and they told me that they 'doubt' deliveries will be made, but it is not completely unlikely. They said they aren't told when deliveries are being made for security reasons.
I'm sat refreshing the reserve page now hoping for a 6+. Do you think I should just sleep and try at 6am?
Yeah I think I'll do that. There were a few 6+ 128Gb's popping up around the country but they were a little too far for me. Hoping for a close enough one tomorrow.
Fingers crossed!
Good luck guys.
Exactly what my store said over the phone when i asked about 6 plus availability and deliveries but in store they said they don't know when or what they are getting till they get it.I would say try again around 6-6:30
I initially looked for stock at The oracle but there was none available that is when i checked the stratford stock and only space grey 6+ 64 were available. I even received a confirmation email straight away. Spent whole day in anticipation and in the end had a long boring and disappointing drive back
