You can still open it and use it. You just have to have taken 'reasonable care' of it while you have it.

Yes I have thought that but part of me feels it's unfair on Apple etc but I guess Apple will just put it in a new box etc.

Of course but I always keep after my devices anyways - I don't plan on doing the 'bend test' lol
 
Cheers mate. IF I can get a gold 64GB reserved on Saturday morning (LOL) then I'll try and swap.

If not I don't think I'll resist opening and keeping it.

Apple DO NOT swap. You will have to return the online order to the online store and buy in store separately.

ahhh! Kicking myself! Thanks for the info though.

Always just stuck to the 16GB but feel as if I'm going to need the 64GB now but I'm very inpatient.
If I can reserve a 64GB Saturday I'll go and purchase and return my 16GB via the website.
 
I ordered within 5 mins of pre-orders opening, and it has said delivery on 25th all along, but it's still saying "Preparing for Dispatch".

Should I be worried yet? It's now 15:50 on 23rd...
Yes, because no one else that ordered from Apple is in that boat.

In fact, we've all had our iPhones delivered.

So yes-be worried, be very worried... ;)
 
talking to apple now just been told this after asking them about tracking if we get it tomorrow it takes 24hours to go live
"The tracking shouldn’t be live until Friday anyway as these devices aren’t due to be delivered until that day so that should be the first time they’re on a vehicle on their way to customers."
Bummer!!

Mine still says processing ! along with Delivery to Most areas on the 25/9
 
That does seem unusual. Even though you're outwith "most areas" you'd think it's just the final mile that would be different. Anything on your payment card?

Iv not checked there wasn't as of yesterday, I am not really that worried to be honest. I am excited about getting my new phone but I am not going to stress about something not in my control. (also this one is my girlfriends one, mine is coming from O2)
 
uk mail said they are not allowing collections until Saturday, anyone else heard this?
 
Quick question to those in the know... If I'm not around tomorrow when the delivery comes, can a family member sign for it on my behalf?
 
Oh f*** I just checked my status and it says "Awaiting Payment" My Card could not be authorised.....I Paid by apple pay and there is plenty on the card to authorise it.... I had to disable my Apple Pay to put it in for a genius appointment. He assured me that this wouldn't interrupt any payments I had already authorised.....

Hopefully they will keep it for me for an hour while I get home !
