I reserved my MB 7+ at around 11pm by paying in full on my credit card. Then went in store next day and got my card refunded and moved it onto the upgrade programme.

Keep your eye on istocknow over the next two to three hours, something will most likely pop up.

It's worth trying the in store pick up option this evening. It saved me a lot of hassle.

I'm having no luck either. Hoping to bag a black iPhone 7 in central London. Didn't find anything yesterday or today so far. There seems to be less stock being added throughout the day than there was last week.

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, my other half is wanting a 7 plus, but not as patient as me with watching the reservation site. If I reserved on my Apple ID, could they pick it up? Has anyone had joy with this?

Yes. That's correct! On the process of reserving, they will take payment upfront and you can choose someone else to pick it up. Just make sure that other person brings their I.D matching to the name you put. Hope this helps.

From my experiences, 6am wasn't good for me. I kept checking at 9ish am and again around afternoon at 12 and see quite a bit around London. Try those hours tomorrow.

A silver one came up earlier so I just went for it. I wanted black really, but couldn't be bothered to wait and I've joined the upgrade programme so I can get a different colour next year if I want. The Apple Store in Covent Garden was a bit shambolic and I think I got the most incompetent Apple employee ever. Ended up following him round from floor to floor and I've never entered my contact details so many times as he kept having to start things again. Anyway, it's done now. Just have to pop into Vodafone in a bit to sort out my SIM deal.

Enjoy your watch. I wanted to take a look at them whilst I was in there, but by the end I'd been there so long that I needed to get back to the office.

Oh. Was that not what you wanted? For someone to collect it in-store?

Reservation for pick up in store. Using the reservation site and then paying in store when picking up or going on the iUP.

What you told me was for order for in store pickup, where you use the Apple Store app or use the Shop site, not the reservation.

I finally had got my iphone 7 plus black 128gb on monday but then i noticed it had a speck of dust under the screen in the top left corner. Returned it to apple for a replacement. Replacement coming on friday along with a free apple silicone case and belkin InvisiGlass! £65 worth of free accessories. But i guess thats why apple have good customer service. Was still annoyed though that the first model was defective

Was that in an Apple Store? They replaced it for a brand new one? Did you have to ask for something like that, or did they just offer the Case etc?

For those trying to keep a close eye on the iPhone stock levels, but find that you keep missing them - I've made a little program which can monitor the Apple website and send you a push notification when a desired model is available.

The source is available on GitHub, and the compiled program is downloadable here.

It's very rudamentary at the moment, but it does the trick.

Unless you have a particular desire for a Rose Gold in 256gb you're a bit stuffed when it comes to UK Apple store stock.
