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.

Doesnt work, Argos website says "We’ll have this ready to order shortly.". Same with John Lewis, it says "out of stock", but your tracker says in stock.

Stores may still have some.
Argos is a waste of time, we're to disable it for the X.
John Lewis is another story, we got confirmation that the X is available at Birmingham, where we have a stock of 5 reported. Stock levels 1/2 should be ignored.

We reflect the data directly from the retailers, sometimes it's right sometimes it's not.

From the past years:
Pick up is kept for days/weeks
Reservations should be kept for a couple of hours. You may give the store a call.
[doublepost=1509978555][/doublepost]Thanks for the feedback guys, we're considering disabling Argo for the X.

Well now I am not sure if its a pickup or a reservation. I thought I was doing a reservation but the people I talk to at Apple state its paid for - even though I have a window. On the App it still has a check-in time, but it does also show an invoice - does that mean I've paid for it already and the check-in time is irrelevant?

When I go to the main website, it shows "Please pick up item by 27th" - I thought when I was ordering it, I was just reserving the item (otherwise why ask for a time slot?). A bit confused.

Anyway, I hope to go instore and change the order into an Upgrade program, one way or another. Should be possible right?

Edit: Yep I think the pick-up time is just to reduce wait times, I guess I have actually purchased it. Anyone know how easy it is to convert that into an Upgrade program instore?

Thanks
 
Argos is disabled, if at some point you feel it should be back again, ping us (pm here, contact on site, twitter, whatever)
 
Funnily enough after checking the Argos website on my phone I still had a 256gb Silver in my basket (even though they’ve now disabled checkout for it.) It lets me select a store for collection but sure enough none are listing stock. Here’s the results for Liverpool and Birmingham if you’re interested...

Too be honest i'm hoping the 13-20 Nov orders have arrived or at least show movement by the time Argos get anymore stock.

Reicieved my iPhone today from CPW. Beautiful phone! A bit heavier than I anticipated. Screen is gorgeous. I find it difficult to use with one hand. My thumb can stretch I the top but with difficulty haha

Overall quite satisfied with the phone. Can’t wait to use it to its max capabilities!

Remember you can turn on Reachability in accessibility settings (though it's a bit finicky, you get it after a while...). :)

Argos money has appeared back in my account just now, along with that 10% discount code, so at least it was quick to get back to where I was before that wee fiasco!

Using that 10% Argos voucher to buy the iPhone from Argos might not be the worst...
I know they've messed you all about and you might not get it as soon as waiting for a reservation but 10% off a brand new iPhone is pretty rare...
