64 SG in Regent Street

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but these random single iPhones that keep popping up across the country, where are they coming from? Surely not a delivery.

 

[Davelfc]

Failed credit checks or missed upgrade appointments maybe?

 

[Vindallo1]

Do you think Apple will have walk in stock?

Do you think Apple will have walk in stock?

Walk-in stock and reservation stock are the same pool. If everyone is snagging the stock for reservations as soon as it goes into store inventory, then you have better odds of winning the lottery than getting an X by walking into a store.

They didn't at regent street and covent garden over the weekend..

 

[Knightcastle]

I take the risk to cancel my reservation for next 18th November .. and try to get an early appointment through exiting IUP ... It looks like there are more stock for existing IUP customers .. we will see .. otherwise I'm pretty sure next Friday it will be more stock for everyone.

Let me know how you get on with this, considering doing the same

 

[Apples n' Stone]

WELL, that went quick enough

Ok mate I will let u know, so far not 256GB Silver one stock around birmingham, I’ve seen some 64GB but not interested on this

 

[iStockNow]

Dammit just got a notification off iStockNow about a 256gb silver at the Trafford Centre but I must have missed it. I wonder if when iStockNow finds a phone it goes into the IUP or general reservation pool or neither

We now display if the stock comes from reservation or pickup in the stock history.

Not sure about IUP, you check it with the same reservation page?

My reseller store told me on Friday they will get deliveries today, but I went today and they said they will get it this week but they don’t know which day and that they will call me when they have my unit.

More waiting....

[jay72]

Iup london regent 64gb sg
[doublepost=1509974795][/doublepost]got in the upgrade window can check a location for someone?

 

[The SpinDoctor]

@iStockNow - Went to JL Oxford Street this AM and again at lunch, they confirmed that they do not have any 256GB Silver for sale. Perhaps they are unofficially holding them for other customers?

 

[ascender]

They don't make you. When you go they ask if you want to join IUP, pay using iPhone Payment Plan or pay outright

Even that’s crazy and makes a mockery of what they’re doing!

 

[iStockNow]

From what we learned this morning, this could be the display devices.
We got confirmation from @DesperateTraveller that Birmingham stock is real.

apple white city 256gb sg 1 available iup

You don't get to choose between FaceID or Touch ID. The operating system seems them as one, so depending on whether you use iPhone 5S - iPhone 8/8+ or iPhone X, the operating system uses TouchID or FaceID. The apps don't specifically ask for TouchID or FaceID, they just ask for biometric authentication and the operating system uses whatever underlying biometric hardware that is available and sends the result of the authentication back to the app.

If what you're saying is true, then it seems like those apps are simply disabling biometric authentication on the X, as they can't choose to disable FaceID and enable TouchID, they have to completely disable biometric authentication if they detect the app is running on the X.

That’s probably what’s happening. The Touch ID worked just fine in the app on my 7 Plus. There doesn’t seem to be any option to use Face ID as a replacement in the app on my iPhone X. So I’m thinking HSBC has disabled it as the app is detecting I have an iPhone X.

HSBC’s app is so terrible I’m pretty sure it’s because their touchID functionality wasn’t implemented correctly. There was even an FT article on how bad it is. Glad I left.

Stock pouring in at Argos stores nationwide, is this accurate?

We got positive feedback on the Argos tracker for AirPods but you could buy online.
We just enabled it yesterday, no feedback yet for the X.
