I had to check the status online and then verify my purchase date and was able to buy. Just posting for anyone else that might need this.
Got a tip for us?

Here https://checkcoverage.apple.com and then there will be a link to confirm your purchase date. Once you confirm it you can buy.
Still nothing from t-mobile, I guess they ship them as they get them. Up to you folks if you don’t mind that but pretty much that leaves you in the dark about status cause they don’t give any info.
Noticed also that the apple stores now regularly getting space grey and silver in, but no other colours.
also noticed that the ipod mini’s starting to get more regular stock.
I got mine via obsessional clicking on John Lewis’s website. They will also e-mail you when they have stock. This thread offers alerts when people see stock availability.
I didn’t want space grey and am not that excited about it, but it’s the only game in town (with white) before March. I may change my mind when I see it in person.
Thanks! I set up the email alerts but it didn’t come through yesterday, guess I’ve just got to keep refreshing!
I set up an alert for John Lewis, but didn’t get one. Though I set it up for blue, so maybe that’s why.
But I bookmarked the page and was clicking multiple times a day. Yesterday I was quite shocked to see availability.
There had been availability on the Argos site the day before (which I found out about on here) but I didn’t go for it because they didn’t have blue. By yesterday I realised blue was a fantasy and I gave up on any hope of finding it.
Are you me, lol.
So far as blue is concerned, it seems like if you really want it you have to wait till March. Silver is easier to find. John Lewis had some yesterday.
Mine was a bit impulsive, too. But I figured, if I was serious about the headphones as headphones, I wouldn't care what colour they were. And things look much different in real life compared with photos and videos and Apple renders. I'll find out tomorrow!
Yeah I almost jumped on a silver pair at JL today. OOS now. In normal times I'd really like to try these before buying them, but not really possible at the moment. Agree that the colour shouldn't matter, but for some reason it does! (Would be easier if there wasn't a choice...)
Worst comes to worst I'm thinking I could collect them and try them, then return them/resell them to someone who can't find a pair if I don't think they are worth it for me?
Headphones are such a subjective, personal experience is what I have learned from everyone's feedback and the video reviews watched. That is why all of Apple audio products are often very split in opinion from people. I got APM from Argos just before New Year and love them now after using them a lot over past few days.
Target says they’ve shipped them yesterday but UPS says they’re still waiting for the package. Target did say the estimated arrival was Jan 6th though so I shouldn’t get my hopes up they’d come sooner
I went with Sky Blue at Target since t-mobile has stiffed my order so far for SG which I really wanted. But the sky blue has definitely grown on me honestly.
It says, UPS SurePost. I think they've just created the label and not actually shipped it out yet.
I can get silver or space grey any day of the week but I’m holding out for blue. There’s just none in the UK and I have a March 12 delivery date from Apple.
I would’ve thought that Apple would’ve ramped up demand for the blue as so many people want that colour. Now Christmas is over I think we might start to see blue coming through the distribution network
