Irish pre order

godtabh

Will there be one?

mad muffin

No. You can buy it from the 26th. In store from networks and the likes of carphonewarehouse.

From Apple expect at least a week shipping for the 6 and 3-4 weeks for the plus.

Just so you know. These are not official preorders.

They are just writing down some names. some shops might not even do them. Also they don't know how many they will get, until the day before sales start.

In my experience a name on a list is worthless unless someone absolutely guarantees that they'll hold a phone for you.

Caveat emptor.

If there are pre-orders of some type in CPW tomorrow, does that mean there'll be an indication as to the handset cost on the various contracts?

Very true! In the past I would have been one of those chomping at the bit to get my hands on the latest phone. They were rarer and it was nice to get to try them out. That being said, I started out with a 3G and the iPhone 4 was a significant upgrade at that point. I upgraded to the 5 then because it was an important enough update in it's own right. It had the bigger screen and improved on the 4 in lots of ways. Now though I don't want a 6+ and the 6 is really just taking what's there and brightening it up a bit. I'm not taken enough with the fingerprint scanning to get very excited about the prospect of owning an iDevice that does it. It's the first time really I've not been overwhelmed by a new iPhone launch. I'm even unsure if I'll upgrade as my current 5 is a replacement phone from Apple a few months ago so it's perfect.

The contract prices will be released before the phone is available so that goes for everyone.

What's wrong with wanting something sooner rather than later? Especially something that's been in the pipeline forever.

Also, if you have an upgrade available with a network it makes sense to use it sooner rather than later.

On the site earlier there was a greyed out option to pay 50 quid refundable deposit to pre-order. All subject availability etc..

Just seems pointless the folk going up to camp or sit outside a shop for a bloody phone , i mean it wont so much more than the 5 or 5s does now

No probs if somebody wants something new etc but do they need to go to them extremes ?

Some people love their tech... and in particular some people love their iPhones. It's a device they use a hundred times throughout the day and therefore anything new is going to be a Big Deal.

I wouldn't be a camper myself (maybe a queuer!) but if you like your Apple tech then the whole thing is a bit of an event. Sometimes in life you need something to get excited about.

just for an email about metoer doing a pre order

dulpit

Me too (re. Meteor). Says stock will be limited both in store and online. Pre-order tomorrow will (apparently) guarantee delivery or collection on Friday week.

Meteor preorder from 9am tomorrow and Carphone warehouse from midnight tonight. Just a word on preorders, from my own experience, I've done this before with three and received my phone each time.

Have you had a long wait for the phone or got it on the day?

No I was able to get it on the day, went in at lunch time and they had kept it for me.

Amazing. I queued last time and luckily got what I wanted but had to take a day off work to sleep!! This could be a better option.

O2 doing preorder from tomorrow online also.

Interesting...

So I assume you preorder a handset with CPW and then when you collect you sign up with whatever carrier you want? Do you need to pay a deposit with the preorder or does it just reserve you an iPhone until a certain time and give you an email confirmation?

Might do this if there's no penalty and if I get one at my local VF shop before I get into town, I'll let them know I don't need it.

Yes €50 refundable deposit with CPW
