UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

No it's not. The Hull postcodes are "HU" (I lived just outside Hull for 18 years). It is possibly the TNT code for the hub near Hull, and would make sense if they have come over on the ferry from Holland.

Mine has also arrived there, so fingers crossed they get it to the depot today and out for delivery tomorrow :) My case has just arrived, the 6+ dwarfs my 5!

Ah, good info. I just googled like crazy when i saw the HG4 thing and everyone said that it was Hull so I assumed it was it's postcode too.
 
Quick bit of online hunting, and KG is actually TNT's central road hub in Kingsbury, Warks (just off the M42). Which explains why I have previously had Apple parcels go Nuneaton > KG4 > London for delivery.

First time I've ever looked forward to going back to work (that's where I got it delivered). Picked it up this morning, it is *touch wood* flawless, though I don't actively look for problems (like messing with pixel finders or whatever).
What a gorgeous piece of kit it is, and how brilliant iOS 8 is. Easily their best achievement to date. Glad I came back - the whole experience is just so much more refined and straightforward than 'droid was.

Very unimpressed by them dropping the support they'd previously promised for Continuity/Handoff on the Mid-2011 MacBook Air though* (it's this kind of evil planned obsolecense s*** that drove me away from them last time. I hate it when they do that - it's not like the hardware is cheap) but thankfully there's a way of hacking it to work... for now.

Me too. I'd hoped it'd be in the UK by now and delivered on Monday, but it looks like we're going the full trip. :(

My estimate is for the 15 and arrived the tnt hub in holland and half an hour after it was registered as in transit so I think it's already comin to uk...

Do you guys know if my wife can receive and sign the tnt delivery if I'm not home? Need help or else I should call them to to pick up in the first place but I been reading some bad reviews on tnt regarding apple delivery... Any ideas?

Another day looking at the reserve site, another day of seeing nothing but unavailable for the 64/128gb versions....

I'm in the same boat. Looking to get another 64gb for other half but nothing about.
Was easier getting one nearer the launch!
Does anyone know at roughly what times the stock gets updated or random?

I checked the site at 12:20am and there was nothing available in those choices.

Think I'm just going to have to chance it and go to one of the stores when they open.

Mine was at KG4. ETA still says Wednesday, but my tracker says it reached Southampton local depot last night and is now out for delivery, so I think there might be a chance it'll come today. Here's hopin'

I'm jealous! Mine has reached my local depot, but hasn't been marked as out for delivery yet :(
 
FFS, there were some 64GB Space Grays available, but the reservation website just won't work..

Hmm, I wonder when the cut-off is. Mine reached the local depot at 3:30am and was marked as out for delivery at 8:10. I guess it all depends on when it reaches the depot if it can be processed in time to go out on that days deliveries.

Mine got to the depot at 0230, but I've just spoken to TNT on Twitter, and the website is behind for my delivery, it is actually out for delivery today. Can't wait to get it now :)
 
I think I'm resigning myself to have to go and wait for a store to open to pick a 64/128gb one up because you can't even reserve a larger sized iPhone for love nor money!

Where are you? I've noticed a few stores have mainly Silver & Gold 6+'s in larger capacities available to reserve.

I think most will return their 6+ phones for the smaller 6 once they realise its not that practical for everyday use. Its a novelty so people want to try it.

I doubt that very much,i ve been using my 6 plus now for 3 weeks and i'm so glad i didn't settle for the 6 :).Its got better resolution,better screen,pictures,videos and the battery life is unbelievable and that trumps any argument for the 6

To each their own. There are pros and cons for both models. As long as everyone is happy with their individual choice. :)
 
Still waiting for my 6. Ordered 24th with EE which quoted delivery within 7 days at the point of sale. It's now been 21 and they're making me run about like a headless chicken with false information.
 
Looks like the end game is near.
My Plus is at the Enfield TNT depot, ready for final delivery tomorrow.
Jeez, 4.5 weeks of relative pain, coming to an end.
Phew. :D

What did you order? I ordered a 64GB space grey on the 4th when it said 7 days. Made the mistake of adding a second sharing sim, which they phoned up to confirm the size of on the 7th (took payment then too) and delivery had slipped to 21 days.

Nothing yet, though I've gotten the second sim and all the paperwork. All models showing up as in stock on site though, so if they aren't lying they should be shipping them... I'm tempted to put in another order to see if it goes through quicker, since they're being equally dishonest somewhere.

I did the order with cashback though, so I don't want to chase it up as they often use that as "not wholly online" to cancel the cashback. Of course, the call to confirm sim size may have already scotched that. It's nonsense since you couldn't specify the sim size, and if they try it on that basis I'll be reporting them for false advertising and dodgy trading.
