EE and Three share, and O2 and Vodafone share. Will be interesting to see what happens when Three and O2 merge though...

On side by side comparison to my 6 the buttons on the 6s don't feel as robust and they don't have the reassuring clicky feel when pressed.

Yay mines been delivered! Only thing is I don't fly home from Maderia until tonight ;p

Just got my new iPhone delivered by DPD. I rip open the plastic package and inside is a ...... Samsung S6 !!!

I rush out and catch him rushing back with another package in his hand, my iPhone thankfully.

Of all the things to be given wrongly!!

😱😱😱😱😱😱

Wow! But I don't think Three SIMs work in EE phones, and vice versa.

My understanding is:

• EE, T-Mobile, Orange, Virgin interchangeable
• Tesco, Giffgaff and O2 interchangeable*
• Vodafone and Talkmobile interchangeable

*though Giffgaff doesn't lock their phones

My UK Mail driver is having the longest lunch break EVAH.... at 11.30 He/She was at the 89th stop (I'm 91) and nearly four hours later there's still no movement. This is painful 😵

75/82... the 6s+ is so close I can smell it

The Three/EE deal is an infrastructure share on 3G (the physical masts) so no actual "sharing" as an MVNO does with a network (like the o2 locked phones work on Tesco/Giffgaff).

It's called MBNL if you want to read any further.

And that to this day is still correct. Unless the phone's unlocked.

Possibly, I'm not 100% certain, but it would/could explain the situation above where a Carphone Warehouse phone worked interchangeably across EE and Three. Though, do they only tie the handset to the network if it's a contract sim? Would a sim-only/PAYG still leave phone unlocked?

Phone just been delivered phone feels solid compared to my old iPhone 6.
Funny thing is took me 30 Minutes to find out how to use 3D Touch. Hahaha

 

[i-aamir]

Did any of the ukmail community sign up for the "you're next text / email". If so did the alert come through for those who have had it delivered?

Thanks

 

[Gubro]

I'm in the delivery window. Come on dpd Rajesh!

 

[jakebrennan]

I've been tracking ship times on the Apple Store (UK and Worldwide) since pre-orders begun, and they actually went relatively smoothly for the 6s (not so much for the 6s Plus).

Here's how worldwide ship times on the Apple Store look like today (for anyone looking to order an iPhone 6s / 6s Plus now):

Put my Three sim in though and it's not activating?


EDIT:

Very pleasantly surprised by rose gold! Arrived on time! In inside lights it is bronze and outside it turns pink but not too sickly. Still setting things up but not much time as at work :-(

 

[Manatlt]

My slot is 22:31 to 23:31...but I'm going to say that's inaccurate...

My depot is Hemel Hempstead.

 

[Frazzleuk]

My delivery window starts in 2 minutes and I'm at least 20 mins from home!!! Arghhhhh

I'm sorry to ask as it has probably already been stated but I was wondering if anyone could confirm that the T-Mobile version paid in full is unlocked out of the box. I keep getting told different things from Apple and from T Mobile. I use Straight Talk so I need an unlocked phone. T mobile is the only one that doesn't require account information to buy. I was told initially that as long as I don't activate the phone with a T Mobile SIM card I'd be able to pop in my Straight Talk SIM card with no problems. Then another Apple employee (along with T mobile employes) told me that the iPhone 6s would be locked to T Mobile out of the box regardless of whether or not it's been activated. Had anyone bought a T Mobile iPhone 6s and can give me an answer as to whether or not it's unlocked out of the box?

Good to hear - What was your slot? Did you sign up for text alerts to let you know you're next?
