Last year there were two queues. One for reservations and one for those just hoping to buy. When I turned up I had to wait for around 10 minutes. They send in about 6 people at at time to collect their reservations.
How's about, you stop worrying about what other people are worrying about and start worrying about how you're going to waste the last six hours of your weekend because trolling is so 2014
They didn't state anything regarding queuing, but i guess as they did for the 5s they will probably place a barrier at the side of the store where a sign will be for reservations only. You just queue there and a salesperson will be dedicated to serving us. You state your name and model and the guy radios someone to pick it up and bring it out for you.
Also with regards to times for pick up, im guessing they have so many timeslots for so many people, so maybe 5 for 8am timeslots, 5 for 10:15am etc. So at each given time there wont be more than 5 people at a time i hope.
Yeh they have white docks on display. All Iphone models are now placed on docks.
I think the docks will fit cases closed at bottom as theres a little bump where the lightning cable connection sticks up.
Forgot to try my phone on the dock lol
It seems that Apple person was telling the truth. Macrumors has just uploaded a post saying that a developer has found evidence in Xcode that the iPhone 6S and 6S+ has 2GB of RAM. Really happy to hear that. Going to save a lot of time in the next year not having to reload a stuff all the time.
Ow and if anybody cares it says the iPad Pro has 4GB RAM here is the link if anybody wants to check it out. https://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/13/xcode-iphone-6s-2gb-ram-ipad-pro-4gb-ram/

I'll probably go iphone accessory shopping between now and the 25th i already have two cases for my current 6 plus but i fancy a change. Meadowhall is usually packed especially the apple store but i doubt other retailers will have the same amount of stock as them.
Catching up on the last 24 hours!!
I wouldn't argue with that!!
Too true
I agree..........an extra week of production time.
According to an earlier post thats for Genius bar reservations appointments - it is not for sales reservations.
Am guessing I'll miss this part of the fun since I've made a store reservation. I did make a pre-order for delivery before i got an 8am 25/9 in store reservation but intend to cancel this. I need to do that before it goes into preparing for dispatch!!
That's great! I placed placed my trade in order on the 7th and would obviously like to extend even by a day! I need to get phone to them by the 21st which is a Monday meaning even with special next day delivery I need to post on Saturday 19th or possibly even the Friday.
I haven't had the same e-mail as you but maybe I will tomorrow. Have been trying to get into their chat to ask but doesn't seem to be manned at weekends.
Do you have to do anything or is the extension been granted automatically?
I think this is a good gesture and assuming the trade in honour is agreed would really encourage me to use them again.
you would think looking at the sheer number of comments on the UK threads compared to the others we should get our apple products first as we care more

Just wanted to say all those worried about sending back their phones to envirofone in time and being without a phone I booked mine in on the 6th of September which had to be back to them by the 20th and I've just received an email asking if i want to extend it to the 27th. so anybody booking it in after that should have plenty of time and be without a phone

I don't get why anyone ordering a 6s would buy a screen protector they don't know will work with 3D touch yet, and even if it does it's bound to affect sensitivity! Or why buy case when every dimension is larger than the 6 those cases were designed for! Fitted cases are going to be stretched in every direction, Right???
Plastic screen protectors will most probably be fine, but uncertain about the glass ones. And the cases will be fine since the dimension change is VERY minuscule. The old Apple iPhone 6 cases fit the 6s without any problems as stated by Apple's own store.
I ordered 2 Spigen cases at 99p each with free delivery via Amazon. It's worth a punt for 1-2mm. If not I'll gift them to a friend with a 6 which I am sure they'll appreciate.
Kind of agree on the screen protector..........has anyone asked this question on Apple chat?
Spigen will likely replace them if they turn out to be ill fitting. They have been known to do that.
You have a point with the screen protectors. It might not work properly. But I feel Apple would have thought of making sure it would work first. Just checked there website and they aren't actually seeing any for the S model. Probably too early. The cases that people are buying are actually made for iPhones 6S from Spigen so it will fit.
Yea, I meant the glass protectors - sorry for not stating that.
The increase in size may be minuscule, but my wife recently bought a NewNow power Case for her 6 and it's as tight as f**k, so trying to fit a 6s into it could split the case in two.
I might buy an el cheapo eBay case as a temporary measure, until the premium ones branded specifically for the 6s are released.
Not sure if anyone has said it yet, is anyone else surprised we're not getting the new fold up plug we got with the watch?
I just spent 4.99 on a hybrid crystal clear because they're currently on sale so it's only a fiver. Yeah, I wouldn't get a screen protector anyway since my 6 held up great and I don't see the need for a screen protector for myself.
Has this been confirmed?
Thought you were going to say that. This is all I see. Maybe it's because I'm using an iPad so a condensed webpage or something.Go on Apple UK and scroll down to what's in the box. Old style plugs for us
Edit: Oh you mean the pre order page. You're right. That's disappointing.
Oh yeh forgot about the foldup plug.
Apple wanting to make £25 for foldup plug it wouldnt have cost anything to include them.
Oh well!!
Finally.. Not read the forums since putting my pre-order in.. It's taken a while but I'm finally caught up with the forum!
I ordered a seperate silicon 6s+ stone coloured case from Apple about 1 am this morning and that just been dispatched!
The usual one week between pre order and delivery is unbearable.. Two is going to be crazy
