yes @Azzin kick up a fuss, say its terrible service for the launch of a new phone, first having a fault and then screwing up the IUP. You're now very late for work and you need some form of compensation in terms of a case, iPad or MBPHave they supplied you with a magazine, tea, coffee or a free case?
Aha, I don't realise that!
[Edit] - Are you sure?
Everything I'm reading says release is today (22nd).
Yeah, I guess a case might be nice.yes @Azzin kick up a fuss, say its terrible service for the launch of a new phone, first having a fault and then screwing up the IUP. You're now very late for work and you need some form of compensation in terms of a case, iPad or MBP
get the manager, start the whole 'really disappointing for an apple launch' and how its taken the shine off buy apple and how you expected better customer service. Also worth dropping the so how do i get compensated for the 3 hour wait...

Mine's here. Currently restoring from iCloud backup. 13 min to go and I'm getting impatient. Must say, the gold is stunning and much more subtle than some photos suggest. Pics in a bit. Going to have a cup of tea to celebrate
Edited to add: I used the new iOS 11 feature to transfer settings from my old 6 to the new one.
Yea, I was so amazed. Literally got to Apple Store Bromley at 8(reservation was at 9) but was let in straight away! No queue no nothing!!
I was in and out by 9am!! Bought a silicone Apple case (tried the official leather one but it was SO slippery - even the Apple guy suggested the silicone as it offered more grip! Will probably change it later on though!!) and also a Belkin screen protector which was applied in store using their 'special tool' which ensured no bubbles or dust!
All in all a great experience (can't post a pic as it's still in the box until I get home to set it up!)!
256GB Space Grey Plus

Let me tell you 2 things...
- Space Grey is stunning. Many of the pictures on here have been accurate to colour but you don't appreciate how sleek it is until you get it in your hands. The faces are pretty much near black with a VERY dark grey aluminium band.
- Space Grey is an absolute MAGNET for fingerprints. I took mine out of the box, held it, flipped it around and it was already covered! Personally it doesn't bother me much but I know there's many on here who will be bothered.
I spent 7.5 hours in the Bullring Store when the 3G launched due to various cock ups. I was fed, watered and well compensated, especially when I had to return the next day because they the free goodies they had originally gave me were incompatible with the bloody phone.

No, but I (and a few others) were given access to some iMacs in a corner of the store where I could post updates on MacRumors.

That post was made after waiting for 7 hours and I had long lost my patience by then. Checking that post made me realise I was actually there for 8.5 hours because I left at 4:30pm after arriving at 8:00am.
The store manager literally ran over to the Genius Bar to take over when he spotted me having a fairly heated discussion with an arrogant member of staff who insisted I couldn't exchange them because they were complimentary gifts.I can only imagine the joy on their faces when you strolled through that door the next morning.
