ordered 32gb space grey hard to believe an instant 2-3 weeks, thought they would have had some, all be it, very limited stock.

anyway i still have me auld 4S to keep me going... The 4S Apples answer to the Nokia 6210!!!

Ordered now...

Dave!

Dammit I can't decide! It's a lot of money if I'm to get the 32GB...

There seems to be some good options with the cloud storage stuff, so maybe I'd get away with the 16GB

Waiting till the morning to see what Vodafone do but I'm sure I'll end up buying off Apple in the end..

I went for 16gb. I had a 16gb 3Gs and never filled it. Now I have a POS Galaxy S3 and it only has 12 or 13gbs on it and its mostly **** that could be deleted

Just to keep in mind when deciding what GB size to get, the photos and videos will take up more space quicker on the 5S. Between slo mo video and burst mode photos, I'm glad I got the 32gb myself. I was using the camera a good over the weekend and burst mode is very easy to rack up 50-100 photos in a couple of seconds. You can easily delete the unwanted ones after but just keep this in mind when deciding.

yeah all the 1080p videos etc, photos, apps, music, I had a 16gig 4s and was at a christening in Spain during the summer and ran out of space on my 4S, so was franticly deleting apps to free up space to video some more. So made sure I picked up a 32gig 5 when I got back, no more deleting apps/music to free up space. I know its more expensive but if you can afford it go 32gig.

Dave!

F*ck it lads, I've gone for it, 32GB and all! YOLO!

Pre register is so they can determine the intrest and decide on the price
same as all the Iphones released on 3 and then they prioritise on new customers over upgrades.

It's not being advertised on the site, but I was able to upgrade to a 5s on Vodafone.ie

Beat me to it!

Guess I'll pop down to Vodafone so...wish me luck!

Good luck and happy empty wallet, ahem excuse me, purse!!!

Looks like Three are screwing customers over again like last year. I dropped down to a SIM only plan for €20 and bought my 5s SIM free in Belfast. No contract and works out cheaper over 24 months.

You won't really have much dealings with CS once you get a prepay SIM first & test to make sure your coverage is good enough wherever you usually are/go. If you're happy then switch, but don't switch until you have tested thoroughly first.

Go to a shop rather than buying online or over the phone, that's where most disaster stories come from.

What price plan / carrier was that for?

Just got an email from Three at 08.51:


It's finally arrived.
The iPhone 5s has just arrived in stores. As you pre-registered with us we're letting you know ahead of anybody else.
Available for upgrade from €119 with All You Can Eat Everything. All calls, all text and unlimited data for €55 a month.

Wasn't this on their website yesterday?! So much for pre-registering. Glad I went through the UK Apple store!
