UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

Forgot I had the conversation emailed to me.

I've asked yesterday through webchat and heard same thing. Deliveries will start at 25th and there's no tracking numbers before. Damn..

Like I said earlier, the online order page (if you're upgrading) does eventually get populated with the delivery firm and code and a link to the website to track it. Seems over the past 3/4 days o2 customers have slowly got the info. I only got mine yesterday afternoon.

Code doesn't work on the UK Mail website yet and probably wont until the moment it's dispatched. The app I've got (Parcel - Delivery Tracking) does seem to be churning out updates but its the pre-dispatch stuff as it get shifted from one location to the one where the driver will pick up the parcels.

From the conversations I had with o2, they were ambiguous and diplomatic. Even if they know you're likely to get the phone on the 25th they don't tell you that. What will happen when the process eventually kicks off is we'll get emails from o2 and the delivery firm. That's when you know **** is about to get real.

I spoke to the people in the Apple Store today, they said I can't change my order (which I already knew) but that if there is walk in stock of it available then I can change it for one those instead. He said that there is no garuantee that stick will be available, but since my reservation is at 8:00 then I will have a better chance than most.

I saw the new rose gold dock, it is certainly more of a copper colour.

Is there a walk-in line for Friday? Got one on order but not due to arrive until 5th October at the earliest.

@Cutiekitty92 I think you've got your wires crossed!

I was checking with @James6s that Apple used DPD for deliveries, he said they did and showed a previous order.

No trolling. ;)

Correct this is not trolling. It may be Apple don't use dpd for launch deliveries? I don't recall the previous 4 launches using them. I'll set up a poll people can start using once some tracking is available

Oh yeah. If there's just normal stock, so to speak, that's fine. Good luck. Your reservation might be early but Rose Gold is the most popular this year and they'll be lots of people camping out/getting up very early to get their hands on one.

Anyone else signed up for UPS My Choice? I'm not holding out too much hope it'll actually work as it utterly failed to advise me of my watch delivery last time, though it'd be interesting to see if anyone else gets a heads up from them.

Yup got my pin through the post yesterday. Will wait with baited breath
 
Those that have sold their phones to envirphone and still got the value before the new iphone was announced do you still have that phone and when is the last min you can sell it?
 
Think I finally sold my iPhone 6 128gb. £420 in the end. Meeting the dude tomorrow night. Bit less than what I wanted, but I needed £410 to break even so at least its not the end of the world.

Anyone know what time O2 stores open on Friday? My local one never answers their bloody phone.
 
Ordered an Antique White silicon case for my IP6s, but I'm a bit disappointed with the colour now it's arrived. It looked better on the website. Anyone else seen this and actually liked it?

I got a price for my 5 32g the day before the keynote, and now with extension the phone needs to be with them by the 29th. Will post it Saturday, should be there on time...

They give you two weeks to send the phone to them. I've seen a few people manage to extent that period though.

Copper sounds nice.................I have a bit of a copper thing going on at the mo but I am adamant am going back to black screen.

I would have thought they would swap for your preferred colour if they have can - they want to please the customer and give them what they want. Will just be luck if they have any of that model available. I suppose the only thing is that the rose gold (if that is your preference now) seemed to go fastest on pre-orders so they might not get any for walk ins.

I've decided to pull my iPhone 6 128GB in silver off eBay, still a few days left and it's only at £51. Gone with Envirophone £357 with the 5% extra code. Fed up with the stupid questions coming from buyers.

Quite right and no eBay/PP fees either!

Depends on the of the online transaction. I traded in on the Monday (7 Sept) 2 days before 6s/6s+ keynote launch. Originally had 14 days to send off but after 7 days they e-mailed with the option to extend a further 7 days at same price so I now have until the 28th. As the 28th is a Monday I need to post Special Delivery on Friday or Saturday morning this week to guarantee it is with Envirofone in time.
 
Just checked Envirofone and they are offering me £290 for my 6 but won't be selling it until I know I'm completely satisfied with the new 6s.

I managed to get an extra 7 day extension to hand in my phone to envirofone. So don't have to post it until the 29 sept. I sold my iPhone 6 16GB for £350 a day before the announcement. Will ship it off on 28th for the 29th deadline

Put it on Gumtree. Initially for £540, then after checking the current market out I dropped it to £450. Got an offer for £420 and they agreed to meet me Thursday evening so I took it.

Absolute nightmare selling this phone. So many about right now and scammers are bang on it. Definitely selling in late August next year.

Very true, even if I got £410 for it on eBay, with fees I would come out with more from Envirophone. I'll post to them on Saturday morning.

Yeah..think selling right before the announcement is best bet for me
 
My 15p case I won on eBay arrived yesterday. Postage was 99p which looks about the right price for the case. Maybe it will look nice on the Space Grey! Maybe not!!

My actual 99p Spigen cases are below. As I said earlier in the thread I didn't realise the rose gold was crystal / transparent so won't give me the solid gold bumper was hoping it would around the space grey.
