There are 188 pages in this thread and I haven't read any of them, but thought I'd make anyone who is due to get their new device on Friday and is worried that it may not arrive until the weekend or early next week feel good by pointing out that some of us who didn't order on the first day will be waiting at least another 2, probably 3 weeks for our new phones.
I was interested in the iPhone Upgrade Program and initially decided to wait until details of the UK version are released. However, on Saturday evening I was tapping out various scenarios on a calculator and came to the conclusion that I don't want to go for the Upgrade Program, at least not yet. I don't feel the need to update my phone every year. I may change my mind down the line, but it's not for me at the moment.
Of course, all that faffing about meant I didn't order my iPhone 6s Plus until Sunday and so I have a delivery estimate of between 9 and 16 October.
There, I bet you feel better now.
