iPhone Reserve and Pick up (UK ONLY)

My experience today for what it's worth...

I just happened to have a 7+ 128gb black in my bag in the app, opened the app mid morning and noticed it said available for pickup. Bought it then and there from Covent Garden, though I wanted the upgrade programme.

After getting shuffled from queue to queue in store they eventually confirmed it's quite normal to shift from payment to upgrade programme. They first collect the prepaid phone, then refund the purchase price, then put through the credit application.

Sadly in my case it declined despite perfect credit. You then again have the option to buy at full price, which I did.

They also valued my 6s+ 128gb at £375 as an optional trade-in, which I declined thankfully.

See this is my worry. Did they say why it got declined?

Various stock is showing on this link: http://www.istocknow.com/live/

Is this an indication of what will be available in the morning?

Wtf man. How come reading is showing as having stock for the 128gb black 7 plus but southampton don't! Soton don't have any 7 plus'. There goes my hopes of reserving a matte black tomorrow. :(

Edit: this is so annoying. So many stores in the south showing 128gb 7 plus black in stock except from Southampton and brighton :(

Is this site accurate for 6am tomorrow?

They are in stock now. You can reserve for pick up tomorrow through Apple's website but you have to pay up front.

I have to wonder where this info comes from? Apple's site does indeed say 128 + in black is available at bristol for tomorrow, yet when i checked reservations at 6pm today the only stores showing open slots were cardiff and southampton.

Im assuming this means they had stock, and people cancelled their reservations before close of play.

Yes, and unless someone purchases the model to pick up tomorrow, it'll be available at 6am for the upgrade program.

The most irritating thing is that my car goes into the garage tomorrow morning for 3 days, and the severn tunnel is closed down so i cant get the train from cardiff to bristol either.

Tragic.
 
Is there a US thread for this? lol

reservation, you can't walk in and buy..

Yes you can. Some people (like me) who reserved by accident or changed their mind or decided to bail, will free up that stock.

However, that chance is slim still

I'm checking tomorrow 6am for southampton then. Basingstoke is closer to soton than reading but soton got no stock lol. If there's no stock at 6am what time should i check(tbf i would be quite pissed if soton got no stock 6am tomorrow)? What time did you check and is the iphone upgrade program link the quickest?

To be honest, after 6am, who knows. They seemed to start about 9ish, but it was random. None seemed to have pluses at 6, only on the 'secondary' update, as it were

The only link we had success with was https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/GB/en...199B8CD61B3E15F6&rv=0&path=&iPP=E&appleCare=Y

The others seemed to error out a lot.

That reading stock wasn't there on reservations.

Since apparently the reservation stock and order for in store pickup are from the same stock in store, are they giving part of stock to reservations and half to in store pickup orders? Cos if they're giving first dibs to instore pickup orders the night before, that's out of order.

I'm not sure but i can't currently see any stock for southampton (128gb 7 plus). Ffs I've been trying for ages. I don't even mind paying upfront online :(

Because there is no stock in southampton as shown on istocknow.com does that mean there also will be no stock tomorrow at 6am at southampton?

You can, I walked in today and was offered 7 rose gold as that was all they had left.

There were people that tried to walk in and buy, but were told reservations or online order pickups only. Any reservations not picked up goes back to reservations.

Officially, should only be sold to reservations, so if you were offered one, they were not following what they've been told to do.

To be honest, in the other thread, Gladdy said that the json's aren't as accurate as Apple did something to them in the last couple days, so I suspect istocknow is the same. It claimed there was stock of black pluses in Reading this afternoon, there definitely wasn't.
 
How are people getting reservations at this time of night? It says 6:00 for me? Am I missing something?
