I suppose it could go in waves and they do multiple dates at once

Yeah it does, now I finally have my phone! Sorry not trying to rub it in.
Mine arrived today..... a week earlier than I'd originally been told.

thats what you think, but under the EU warranty law that came in about 2011, all expensive electronic items are covered for 6 years
http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/
Of course no company will tell you unless you know about it...... All warranties are now 6 years in UK, 5 in scotland and 2 in the rest of the EU

have you tried watching a movie/video on it yet? I'll be using mine to watch youtube mostly (replacing my iPad) and wondered whether the screen is big enough. Im using my iPhone 5s at the moment and find myself getting really close to the screen ----------
I've even got people at work showing me their new iPhones now! this is hell!
Should be able just turn up. It's clearly faulty from purchase. If they give you a headache speak to store manager and explain its a few days old and you haven't got time for an appointment.
Apple stores do hold unit backs for faulty units.

UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread
iPhone 6 seems to have a bit of a pixel issue. I've had three. All with dead or stuck pixels. Now on my second 6+. First had the odd scratches around the home button reported elsewhere - no dead pixels though. The one I have now looks fine.

No, that's not what the law says, and it isn't even under EU law. You've manged to confuse a few things. The EU brought out a Directive for time to claim on defective goods in the eu as being a minimum of 2 years.
The UK has never brought the EU Directive into law, because the UK already has a longer period set in law, namely the Sale of Goods Act (SoGA), what SoGA says, is that a consumer has redress to the courts for up to 6 years for faulty goods. Unfortunately the onus of proof for the fault falls on the buyer after 6 months, and the durability of the item is also considered by the court in any action. A mobile phone would never be considered as durable for 6 years.
Apple has just standardised at 2 years across the EU, and only if they were the retailer, if you buy an iPhone (or other Apple product) at another retailer you will normally be referred to that retailer if a problem occurs as under SoGA the retailer is liable, NOT the manufacturer.

That information is incorrect and seriously misleading. In the UK you have up to six years to make a claim under the SOGA - whether you will be successful in a claim depends on a number of factors. To suggest that "all warranties are now 6 years in UK..." shows a complete misunderstanding of the law (see below)
Customers' rights last for six years
The law says that a customer can approach you with a claim about an item they purchased from you for up to six years from the date of sale (five years after discovery of the problem in Scotland).
This does not mean that everything you sell has to last six years from the date of purchase! It is the time limit for the customer to make a claim about an item. During this period, you are legally required to deal with a customer who claims that their item does not conform to contract (is faulty ) and you must decide what would be the reasonable amount of time to expect the goods to last. A customer cannot hold you responsible for fair wear and tear .
The six-year period is not the same as a guarantee, but it does mean that even where the guarantee or warranty supplied with the product has ended, your customer may still have legal rights.
I think ours are together
bet your counting down the hours now

must admit in some weird way I've missed tracking mine might order another one so I can track it

Hard to do that when you don't know when it'll be here lol!! I keep looking though
My replacement iP6+ has arrived - no dead pixels (on the first check, and 5 more afterwards :roll eyes: ).
But I had to go back to work, so the main fun won't happen until tomorrow... Unless I will cancel my night out Hmm!

yeh I'm finding it funny! I like the way apple came out to say only 9 people complained too haha. Although the iPhone 4s was stainless steel I think apple will be sticking with aluminium until they can get liquid metal perfected

It says estimated delivery Tuesday by end of day on time ... Hoping for Monday though! Also how do you know if you have a dead pixel?
Next stop will be Cologne (Germany) and then to Stansted or East Midlands depending on where you are in the country. Its usually out for delivery the same day it arrives at one of these airports. Not sure if they are still doing Saturday deliveries tho.
What colour/style cases did you lot get with a SG plus?
Zetti?
I'm thinking blue sili, red leather or black either.
