I'm now thinking to cancel my plus and get the regular while its still showing 25/9 on apple. I have a feeling the compactness (1 handed + pockets) issue maybe a big problem for me over time. If I got on well with Android/Samsung I would of been holding an S6 now and not even on here with switching back to iPhone.
Is battery life gonna be fine on the regular model?

Still haven't had any confirmation from EE about my upgrade. Just used their chat service. They confirmed the order has gone through and I have an open sales order. I'll receive an email and text message once the phone is ready to ship, which she said was on the 25th! Good news.
I am in the exact same position as you. Upgrade went through at 8:20am yesterday morning but haven't had any sort of confirmation since. Called up and they said order was there so not to worry. Still want the confirmation though...
Don't know if this link has been posted before - http://iphone-inventory.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/iphone-6s-pre-order-tracker.html Hasn't been updated today. Seems a lot of stock around. Not sure how to take it. Good as in Apple have finally enough stock for demand or bad as it hasn't sold as well.

I agree, a confirmation would be nice to have. I've emailed a copy of my chat thread for a just in case.
For me eBay is pure convenience and its a guaranteed sell for me, Gumtree is okay but its a lot of hassle as I have very very little free time
I'm still yet to receive a confirmation email, i'm guessing this is a separate email to the "Your order is being processed" that i got as soon as i pre-ordered which was around 8:07am(ish). Should i be worried?
Nope, that's the email everone is talking about. It confirms they have your order and have started processing.
All orders should currently be in the 'Processing' stage, which means Apple is working on them. They'll change to 'Preparing...' a few days before they ship and then finally to 'Dispatched'. Nothing to worry, it's perfectly on schedule

Hi
iPhone 6s 16 gb Gold, right from Apple's Website. Only delivery is the option. It's say "pick up currently unavailable" i don't even choose the store yet :SDone. Switched my order to the regular 6s, Yeah screen slightly smaller than my current Galaxy S4, But the phones are roughly the same size so it makes better sense to choose the regular. I haven't got the biggest of hands out there either. (5ft9 Male with "Female" like hands.)
At least it's £80 cheaper. Capacity remains at 64GB.
Hi all,
I've pre ordered and have confirmation etc for delivery on the 25th.
Now I'm going to be out that day...eek!
What options do I have?
Depending on who delivers this year, could I:
- Use the notification to log into the deliverers website and ask for it to be delivered the next working day?
- Just let them attempt and go pick up the next working day?? Will they hold it at the depot and not do anything daft like send it back to Apple after 1 attempt?
- Change delivery address without losing my pre order?
Sorry, I've been trying to search to see what happened to missed deliveries last time but the threads are huge I cheekily thought I'd just ask for help.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Phew! Thanks.
Counting down the days until my 6S delivery. Is that sad? In the meantime i'll carry on using my 6 model...
nice! I love watching videos on my phone and I normally use my phone to web browse so I've swapped to the plus this time round, but I won't hesitate to switch back to the regular version if I am unhappy. Welcome back! woo.
I've just noticed that the model I want is still in stock for reservation (when I ordered at 8:04, there wasn't a pick up option appearing) and so I've put a reservation in alongside my order. My concern (which will dertermine which method I actually use) is that my wife and I both use her credit card for major purchases, since she has far better credit and a much lower APR on hers. This is my first time reserving rather than having delivered, so I wanted to ask:
What are the chances that paying with her card would end up being problematic?
Could they just talk to her on the phone for verication if it were?
She out at work from 8-6 and I work from 2-10, so having delivery is a massive pain in the ass.

Well, Since I now bought my phone outright instead of contract there is more freedom in what I can do with which device to I can buy and just swap for another Phone if I'm not happy in anyway (at a cost though) and switch to plus at anytime. At least I don't need to wait 2 years for a contract to expire either.
I like videos, games, web browsing and using it as a message communicator too, But the 1 handedness and compactness is a very important aspect of using a phone for me. I think if the regular 6s had 5" 1080p screen and slighty bigger battery then it would of been an easier decision for the regular. I guess I can only find out to when I get my new iPhone and start using it for a while.
Chill out no need to panic.
Ive just been to the Apple store Meadowhall, and told them i have reserved a 6+s what is the process.
They told me to bring a photo ID and also each phone reserved will have a name against it and they will pull it out and you buy it. He also said all the 6+S 64GB have all been reserved now so none left.
Easy process, also got to see the gold and rose gold aluminium watches with the new straps, look nice. Oh and they had the docks too. All display models are on the new docks.

I rang them and that got me an order processed email to come through. Had to ring twice as I panicked because the first email said 6plus not 6s plus!
thanks for the info LKN i might just have a look tomorrow at the docks in meadowhall i've only owned one docking station and that was for the original iphone. By looking at this and other threads the 6s Plus 64gb is probably the most popular the 16gb is still available on most sites even now.
I can't see you having a problem using her credit card. Does anybody ever look at the name on the card? As long as you know the PIN you should be fine. Well unless the card gets declined because they think it is a fraudulent transaction. Guessing if that happens they just call your wife to authorise the payment.
I used a company card to get colleagues iPhone 6 display replaced in the apple store and everything went through fine.
