Maybe Barclays are just pissed we have not bought their new fob things as we have a fully functioning NFC phone to do just the job? There s money to be made, but they won't be having mine :p

And still no announcements on ApplePay! I'll probably switch to some other bank: the all more or less offer the same conditions, and most of them ApplePay as well
 
You will not be forgotten!

My trusty iPhone 5 has been everywhere with me since launch day in 2012. It's been dropped on floors, buried in the sand, submerged in a city centre water fountain and dunked in a pint. It has always continued to function perfectly (and is aesthetically sound, thanks to a trusty case that requires a folded £5 note behind it to keep it tight).

Only today has it started to give in...

Just as I was closing an old bank account, in the hope of freeing up future credit to purchase the next insanely overpriced Apple release, the speaker crackled and faded out.

You have served me well iPhone 5, but you know it's time to move on.

Huge shouts to Incase for protecting this warrior over the years.

Barclays still try to push their own solution, obviously they are not keen to pay Apple some margin on usage.
 
What's everyone's plans launch day? I'm planning on sitting on my Xbox whilst I wait impatiently for my phone to turn up!! It's boring for me though as I'm up a drive there's no false alarms to get excited about :(



Drop the five year old off at school than Metal Gear Solid V until the knock on the door.

Got someone house sitting when I'm out first thing.
 
For anyone who ordered direct from Apple - have you got any dispatch email yet?

I ordered direct from Apple and no dispatch/tracking number yet. Would be nice to just know it's on route/in the UK etc

iPhone 6s 64GB Gold. Preparing to dispatch - I used PayPal credit and the payment has cleared since a few days ago.

LOL aww, well that does sound like a nice way to spend the day waiting, hopefully not too long of a wait though! I'm going to be having laser eye surgery done on Friday and someone will be at home to accept the delivery but chances are my eyes will be too sensitive after surgery to even use it but I'm hoping I can use sunglasses and have the brightness turned right down because I've already made a back up of my iPhone 6 Plus and cleaned it off to give to my sister so I need an iPhone with everything restored back on to it back in my life ASAP!

Have any phones shipped yet?

I pre-ordered a 128GB Space Grey 6S and set for delivery on the 25th but it's been sat in preparing for shipment/dispatch for ages now.

I reckon possible tomorrow or Wednesday you'll see a better update assuming that your were in the first bunch to get them on release day.

Same! I preordered a 128gb rose gold 6S+ saying delivered by 25/9 in most areas, money has been taken from my account but still saying preparing for dispatch!

Used to book the day off but it dragged too much waiting for delivery guy. Getting it delivered to work this time.

I will be having a day off, so I will be waiting for the delivery to turn up. :)

Working from home whilst keeping one eye on my nestcam live feed of my driveway and listening for the dog to go mental.

Hopefully tomorrow it'll change then! My 5 has suddenly become very slow, good one Apple. iOS 9 has stolen my battery.
 
Does anyone know why Apple made it so there's two weeks between pre-order and delivery/launch this year? I came into this thinking my iPhone would be with me already and I could be getting on with my life by now!
