UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[pollaxe]

Can anyone recommend a decent car holder for the 6 plus ?

I've been considering the Kenu Airframe+; they seem to be like hen's teeth in the UK at the moment, though.

 

[Zeebedy]

Oh damn. So you've recieved a text at least indicating when you'll recieve it? When did you place the order?

Yeah, delivery by DPD on Monday, and i placed the order yesterday early afternoon!

Thank you so much again. I've since moved to 'preparing to despatch'..it's been like that for 2 days though. Thankfully it's making some progress. I was hoping to receive it by my birthday when I placed the initial preorder, but that's not gonna happen lol. Have you got your phone? If so, are you enjoying it?

Hi there hopefully you've gotten your phone now ,oh i got mine the monday after it came out after a long process of preordering and getting 10-17th october,queuing on launch day and being told the 6 plus at sold out at 6.30 in the morning even before i was even close to the door and getting a 6 initially then returning it when i managed to reserve and collect and cancelled my preoorder.Oh i am sure enjoying it and glad i resisted opening the 6 and waiting till i got the 6 plus

EE are bloody useless. Ordered on the website, says 7 days delivery. Received a text two days ago saying it'll be with me in 21..

I thought it says delivered in one day on their website and there are actual physical stores advertising that you could walk in and walk out with one same day

I think its pretty obvious network companies will advertise anything to get you tied up to a new contract. Its how they operate they arent truthfull at all.

Hence if you can its best to buy your phone from apple

I bought the Airframe+ here http://www.handtec.co.uk/kenu-airframe-plus-portable-car-mount-for-phablets-black.html

… and sold it a day later as it didn't hold my 6 Plus upright and ended up with this Brodit instead that works perfectly: http://www.dsldevelopments.com/search.asp

 

[Zeebedy]

just contacted EE and got my tracking number for DPD and is scheduled with delivery on the 6th of Oct

hope all goes well...

also feeling for those being d***ed about, both from carrier and apple deliveries!

Is anyone who is still waiting for a phone after the 16gb iphone 6 (silver)? I bought one from PC world but I decided to go for the 6+ instead and because I opened it to have a look (silly me) they won't refund it... I don't want to be left out of pocket

You should have bought it from apple,try and see if apple will take it back

Always. If you have the cash best to go sim free. With the help of that iphon6stock checker you cant go wrong. I managed to get a plus a week later and canceled my 10-17oct delivery date. Seems like preorders are in the back of the queue.

I guess preorders are seen as being "in the bag" whereas sales are being won on an impulse basis in the stores.

I'd not go the preorder route myself again after this either - and the Chinese holiday period threw another spanner in the works.

 

[George Dawes]

I could blame apple for not making enough , but it's vodafone in my case that are the problem I reckon.

Their sales staff are a bunch of r's

Next time I will just buy direct from the Apple Store , they've always been excellent in my experience.

I am hoping my one comes by Monday
So far my tracker says

Yeah, it does seem so - I assume 5 working days for delivery after that. My 8th to 10th October promised delivery date will be missed by a mile.

My order went from "preparing for dispatch" to "dispatched" today about 15 minutes ago, there's still hope!

Precisely what i did after getting same dates as you and got the 6 day after launch and 6 plus tuesday after

I bought one off Amazon this week and got it the next day. I have however returned it as it didn't fit at the right angle in my car. Going to wait for the Brodit to come out.

So pleased you are loving your new iphone 6 plus....I only received the dispatch notice from Apple this morning, so have another week or so to go before I receive it, but at least I know it will be here soon. Sounds like you went through a lot til you got your phone. The reserve and collect is the best option in the long run

Managed to snag the last iPhone 6 black silicon case from the Arndale store.

Not keen on the leather ones.

Same her bought the silicon case from the apple store but the leather case bought it on ebay,
From China might be a fake but was only £13
Comes in retail packaging so watch out on ebay and don't get burnt paying full retail for a case which might be fake

Oh right ,i thought you got the dispatch 30th sept and yeah so it seems this year as its been better organised,with the iPhone 5 the reserve and collect was absolutely ridiculous as you only get to know if there is an iPhone reserved if you receive an email at the end of the day so you d be checking your emails for something that would never come not even a sorry we have no iPhone for you!.Yeah iPhone 6 plus is the way to go and try and get a case for yours(silicon with a transparent back) it helps with the grip

Fingers crossed then !

talking about the apple leather case,
this is what a fake one looks like...

 

[AVBeatMan]

I've got a genuine one from Apple but it doesn't smell of leather?

 

[Adam-Jobs]

What is EE like as a network? I've just been on their Facebook page, and the amount of negativity on their page is ridiculous.
