You won’t be really productive at work this day
I figured I’d be less productive if I waited until 4pm.
My colleagues are sick of my complaining about my lack of watch after I sold my S3 at the weekend.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure I'm afraid. Whenever I have pre-ordered iPhones etc, it was always Apple directly so first time I have decided to purchase from JL instead, but I find the app quite reliable. I'll just check the website as well as the app from 8am and hopefully bag one! Good luck!
The store stock shown will be different to the online inventory.
No idea about the time sorry, might be worth seeing if they’ve followed up on their tweet.. someone must have asked them
It occurs to me that my Apple Watch is £200 more expensive than my iPhone.
64GB is more than enough on my XS Max but I have to have the Hermes bands and watch faces...

My Hermes watch shipped on Sunday - and the DPD tracking wasn’t showing anything - typically we see the pre-orders ship the night before (so my phone will ship tomorrow night with next day delivery) but it’s unusual for a product to ship 5 days early unless it is coming from China to the UK.
But then if it is you wouldn’t expect a DPD tracking number. So I called Apple who called DPD and confirmed they have the watch in the depot in Leicester. And the number will be live when it is sent tomorrow night. I’m still of the opinion it probably came from China direct to the depot rather than being posted on Sunday and sitting in the depot all week but who knows... at least I know it’s ready for me to get on Friday.

Original tweet I saw. Haven’t committed to a time, just ‘various times’ or ‘throughout the day’

Just a little reminder that the sale of goods act which all retailers have to abide by, requires that "goods must last a reasonable amount of time", so JL's warranty might be explicit, but it's arguably more than 2 years in practice for all retailers with something like this. If you buy direct from Apple and politely invoke this in store, Geniuses actually tap "Customer asserted consumer rights" on their iPads
.In theory, John Lewis just offer you your Consumer Law rights, and market it as a ‘two year warranty’.
Consumer Law applies up to two years after the date of purchase with Apple, also.
However, most retailers aren’t so generous — many will insist you prove the fault occurred within 6 months, as the law states.

It's actually now the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that covers it, though be clear, there's no 2 year thing laid out anywhere I've found, and the 6 month thing doesn't work quite like that, this is from Which:
Apple bases it’s out of warranty coverage within the EU on EU Consumer Law, although this could of course all change very soon!
Whilst in England you can exercise your rights up to 6 years after the date of purchase, outside of two years (with Apple, anyway), the burden of proof lies with the consumer, and this can often be hard to prove.
It’s actually 6 years believe it or nothttps://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/
Yeah, I think the EU sued/threatened to sue Apple for not making it clear enough, thus that super long page.

To an extent, though if I remember my EU stuff correctly (this is a first year uni flashback), it's technically EU law that then gets translated into domestic law.
Ha, well at least it’s clear now!
Apple don’t even fight against it really, recently had to take my MacBook Pro back to Apple as the screen and the lamination was coming apart and three years after I purchased it they replaced the entire screen! Pretty great service really
Been in the 'preparing for dispatch' since Saturday and still no movement - was hoping for a cheeky day before release delivery and I'm working Friday
Is your expected delivery date the 21st?
Everyone with a date of 21st in the same boat with the exception of Hermès orders who moved to dispatched with no further updates a number of days ago. Prepare for a deluge of ‘dispatched’ posts tomorrowBeen in the 'preparing for dispatch' since Saturday and still no movement - was hoping for a cheeky day before release delivery and I'm working Friday
