You will need to wait for a text from Apple tomorrow which will tell you between what times the driver is supposed to deliver.

Mine is from o2 upgrade mate but i currently don't have the sim card in this phone to check the text as this is a different number
 
Checked all my email settings which is fine but I keep getting that damn pop up of server cannot get mail... Any ideas?! Driving me insane

Thanks - most of the internet seems jealous to the point of mass homicide if you get the flu before them. I appreciate some other person I've never met being pleased for me when they're still trying to get theirs.

Good luck and I'm sure there will be more stock tomorrow, if not they will deliver Monday for availability Tuesday. I'm sure your tip to log in to the Apple store first helped as well.

At least it isn't as bad as the situation when I got my 5S. I waited for at least a couple of weeks, and then ended up getting a PAYG one from my carrier because I was fed up waiting for availability at the Apple store.

Got it! Think it's too big to type one handed! Can't reach 123 button with right thumb :-(
 
Thanks for all the tips about checking the stores stock throughout the day! Sadly away until Friday now so I will try to give it a rest checking every 20 minutes!!

Oh that's pretty bad. Do you have constant signal all day? My phone sometimes loses signal at work which affects battery

Something doesn't appear quite right with those stats! Seems like some excessive battery drain.

Mines at 62% after 3hrs28 mins usage and 25hrs45 standby!

I think the battery is bad. This is after a few cycles and 4 days use. I am constantly aware of using my phone and closing background stuff. Here's the latest useage, but it's hardly been used last few hours . . .

@MacMandy I would possibly get in touch with Apple or take into an Apple genius bar (if you live near one) to be looked at, they will be able to run diagnostics and test the battery. It does seem to dropping pretty quickly!

In that case I guess you will get a text from O2 or DPD. As you don't have access to that number this might be a problem. I guess you could regularly check the DPD site to see when yours is out for delivery and then give them a call. They might be able to tell you.

Ok. Here's my latest. Hardly used my phone. I'm in the pub and brought my iPad Air. Here's the top and bottom ad my battery stats. Be mindful that this was fully charged from zero at 3.15pm, just a few texts, a lot of background stuff and hey Siri off. Do I reserve another 6s or get a 6s plus. I want the Rose gold.
 
Hi guys, I have mine - mostly nice upgrade, but had to call apple as there is an irritating seam issue between the curved glass and the metal - in short on the left hand side of the phone it's not entirely flush (the right-hand side is, and my iPhone 6 was 100% smooth all the way around).

Sunds triivial - and would probably need a microscope to see - but it feels horrible when ive got my thumb/fingers around the keyboard area of the unit in particular. Apple are telling me to use the 14 days to return it and order a new one. I dont have an apple store with appointments near me, so i cant do that. APRs will probably only do a repair and i dont want that, as ive had terrible experiences in the past with these things being badly done. I spent 859 euros on it here in France, direct from Apple, so kind of hope fo good service, especially as I've paid for Applecare Plus / Protection plan

Any thoughts? I am tempted to just live with it but it will ANNOY me no end !!

Do not live with it. Phone Apple for a replacement.
 
Don't get these bad batteries. I would seriously contact Apple.

This is should be more normal.

What are the background times for photos app etc

Also Siri seems to be used a lot.
 
I am now using my iPad Air2 since my iPhone 6s is low on juice. My friends think I'm obsessive, but it's a lot of money and I need it to last me 10 hrs. My Apple Watch came off the stand at 8.30am and still has 30%. I just wanted my iPhone 6s to last the same. I know I'm moaning, but I was very excited like most of you for several weeks, and it's just not good. I'm taking it back.

Get a replacement 6s or get a 6s plus? I feel bad taking things back. I know I'm used to the 6 plus battery, but I accounted for that and I tweaked some settings.
