I was under the impression that they are sold out for the next 3/4 weeks? No?
I won't have my funds till next week or so and assumed I'd be waiting till near the end of October for it.

Well this morning there was a "reserve in store" option but everytime I tried to reserve it I got a message that I needed a UK phone number, then I needed to go to work and when I tried again later it said: try again tomorrow. otherwise I will try to call and see if I can reserve it

Picked up from parcel motel this morning. Got the txt at 3:15am.

Really liking it so far. Super fast. 3D Touch will become second nature after awhile. Live Photos are a bit gimmicky I'd say. Both cameras are very impressive, Touch ID is lightning fast.

I'll probably go for the plus next year but I'm very happy with the 6s now.

The reservation works fine, what you need to do is login to your account and choose your model and the time you want to pick it up at. I just reserved one.

at least you get an option.... i keep getting that message for UK number..also tried with my GF her Apple ID, same message

Savage Tyrant

Use the "Apple Store" app... Make sure you select the UK store in settings.
Then choose the make and model you want and click reserve... It'll then direct you out into a direct safari page.

Is that what you were doing?

Try it the way I said and see.

can it be because I use my own domain as Apple id?

Savage Tyrant

I don't know.
Maybe the verification method is different when directed from the Apple Store app, but I'm only guessing.

I had this issue 2 weeks ago, it turned out I had to change my apple id password, seemingly apple requested I do this a while back but I ignored it. I changed password, signed in again and got the regular reserve option.

plenty of people have been walking up and picking one up today seems like plenty of stock in Belfast.

Im going to try on Wednesday till take the first train

Is it ok to buy Apple care in Ireland (Apple.ie) rather than in store in Belfast? Anyone do that?

Its cheaper... 109GBP v 99Eur

miralize

Theres currently no Applecare+ for 6s in the Irish Store. Thats what I came into this thread to ask about too. If I buy it on the UK store will it be ok for me in the RoI?

Im trying to make a choice between staying a night in belfast and hoping in can reserve without Uk number.
As written above, this morning I tried to reserve but I kept getting the question about UK number, tried 2 times but it could not go true..

I dont want to pay 30 euros for the train + 4 hours and there is no phone left..even if I take the earliest train it will be arriving 9.45.. all phones are gone by that time.

That's strange once you enter your Apple ID your sorted it will reserve for you. Just looking at your other posts are you trying buy from Apple.co.uk or are you trying too reserve?

Is the rose gold as revolting a colour in person as it is in pictures?

Bit harsh? Seems popular. To each their own. Not my cup of tea but I'd hardly say revolting. And anyone who just dropped the best part of a grand on a new device isn't going to say that either.

Checked after my genius appointment what they had left in 6splus the only models they had was space grey 16gb that was around 5ish don't know about the 6s.

Well, only harsh because I've only seen online pictures. Just wondering whether it was the same colour IRL.
