UK iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Thread

[AdamA9]

I've decided to stay with my 5 for now, wait until any bugs are sorted out and I can decide what to do. When I do buy I'm getting sim free from Apple.

I'm with O2 so as my contract finishes next week so I switched to a 12 month sim only deal for £20 a month (with my loyalty discount it's £17) unlimited texts, calls and 3GB data. I plan to tether to my iPad mini.

I can't see this deal on their website. They seem to be really low data contracts for simplicity at the moment. I might have to call them or something.

Best I can see is:

12 months 4G unlimited calls and text with 5GB data for £24 per month.

Just received my Spigen Airskin for iPhone 6. It does feel much bigger than the iPhone 5s, there's no way you can comfortably use an iPhone 6 Plus one handed IMO. So glad I went for the 6.

Here's the link for my spigen case I've bought

Do you guys know how much room there is at the top for the ear phones to plug into? I have some Shure SE535 and they have a bulky head, which prevents them plugging in with most cases.

Anyone else think that Three are now taking the rise?
We know they have the plans available (they're available in store) and yet they still haven't updated the website.

 

[solosdk]

...no more available

I can see 6 left in stock as of 3:15pm ?

Edit: nvm. It is gone! Unlucky.

 

[Abiyork]

Sure!

I bought this case in the gunmetal colour.

And this screen protector. (It's glass).

- Both links are for the 4.7" iPhone, but I'm sure they are available for the Plus too

Have you received your Neo Hybrid case? Thats the one I am going to order.

Is it thin yet protective enough?

If the prices I'm seeing coming out of the stores are correct and final then their hashtag worththewait is going to massively backfire.

Has anyone else not had money taken yet?

Order shown as processing still and I bank with lloyds

Getting worried now

It's annoying. I've been sitting here refreshing since 11am. It's now 3:17pm and still no plans up on the site.

Sure is.
I think I read here this morning that they were waiting so they could undercut the others. This could be a big backfire. However, until we see proof of the prices who knows.

 

[Browno01]

I did (64 gig in silver), but only after a gang bang of switching and refreshing Chrome and the iPad app (both of which seemed stuck on "We'll be back soon").

I sparked up Safari and placed the order at circa 2.30am and got the confirmation email at 2.37am my time (I'm currently in Jamaica!).

I did too 64gb Silver too.

Some of us didn't sleep last night.....

You're not the only one almost constantly hitting refresh.

Prices are very expensive for Three in comparison to previous launches!

 

[Kariya]

Sure!

Just let you know that my order status has been changed as 'Preparing for Dispatch'. My fraud detection agony is gone now.

My iPhone 5 at launch was £49 upfront then £39/month *24 months.
Unlimited data inc tethering.

 

[quixers]

my uk apple store online placed @8.30 has gone to "Preparing for Dispatch" whoop

What the heck? You're order status works? Isn't the order tracking page down for everyone?

 

[Lexical]

Blimey chaps my 64Gb 6 is now 'Preparing for Dispatch'!

Exciting times!

 

[Dangerous Theory]

I can beat that....

iPhone 6 64GB bought outright, for which I'll pop in my 30-day rolling sim-only package from Three.

£12.90pcm gives me:
200 mins
3000 3to3 mins
5000 texts
Unlimited data (inc tethered data)

Handset was £619. Sold my mint 64GB 5S via gumtree last night for £430, so my total outlay is £189 for the handset.

That makes the total cost over 2yrs (if you want to look at it that way) just £498.60

I'm currently on the £12.90 SIM only and i get 300 3-to-3 mins, not 3,000. I also get no tethering (it cost £5 to add 1GB tethering). How are our tariffs so different?

 

[Lexical]

Hah, looks like a bunch just got preparing for dispatch then...!

 

[johnrs]

Hah, looks like a bunch just got preparing for dispatch then...!

Just checked and I have that too...

 

[AlexisV]

My iPhone 5 at launch was £49 upfront then £39/month *24 months.

I paid £99 for the iPhone 4 and £78 for the iPhone 5. Then £35 a month unlimited everything.

The joys of a two year contract ending in September!

Just waiting for the 6 prices to appear now

 

[solosdk]

YAY! Preparing for Dispatch. I hope I get the phone a day early by accident.

 

[AppleCallum]

My iPhone 5 at launch was £49 upfront then £39/month *24 months.

Yeah, mine was similar - sure it was £99 upfront and £36 per month or something like that.

This year £50 a month nothing down, or £99 down £45 per month. Looking at more than £250 more expensive than previous launches.
