Just so everyone is aware there's an option to extent the liability on your parcel motel package if you so decide. Prices are attached. Probably well worth it to ensure peace of mind if you have an iPhone arriving.

I know it's only 7 euro but surely once it's signed for at the depot, PM are somewhat responsible for making sure it doesn't go missing from Belfast to Dublin? And if the phone is defective, it's Apple's baby.

Any down sides to picking one up in the US and using it here?

Hmm I have a 128GB iPhone 6 (unlocked) ... Would it be worth selling and upgrading ?

Would I get much for it?

Any problems with the phone you would need to visit an Apple Store with it.

True but the standard liability with PM is €100 so the extended insurance for €7 is well worth it for peace of mind.

Liability is €100, so that's what you will get if they lose it. Carriers do not insure automatically.

Will the same cases work on the 6S?

I think the 6s is slightly thicker so I hope it should be no problem as I have an apple leather that I bought for the 6.

The Apple ones are compatible with both phones.

Apple.com/uk and deliver to Parcel Motel. That will get it to your in ROI.

My order went through around 08:05am using the Apple Store app.

If they lose it between Belfast and Dublin you get €100. If you have extended liability for the extra €7 you'll get the whole lot back. Worth it in my opinion

did any of you reserve for launch day? If so, how did you manage to send that text? Did you have access to a uk sim card? I'm not having any luck

There's another option to reserve and pick up in store.

I wonder if you told apple you needed it to be delivered before 11 on Friday morning would they be able to do anything. Parcel motel said that if it was delivered before or around this time you would get it on Saturday

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do but it's prompting me to send a text from a uk phone number (which I don't have) Did I miss something or is there a workaround?

Thanks

Did you need to send a text from a UK registered phone number? If so, how did you get around it?

Thanks

By using the app you don't need to sent text, pre order phone and click on reserve, pick up store and time. Thats all. Looks you can't reserver anymore any way as they are all out of stock and next reservation starts on 26th.
Lucky to reserve 2 for 25th!

It's different on mine, I select my configurations for the phone and at the top it says "check reservation availability" I click on that and and I select the store and sign in and that's when it tells me I need to send that text? any guesses?

Thanks again

Looks like you following the correct steps but for us it is different, see the screenshot below i just tried to reserve but wasnt asked for text, maybe you need to register your phone number with apple or something as i had to add it but was irish number, also try to clear safari cache as for reservations it redirects to safari, i would have reserve for you but i am over the limit as only allowed 2.

Thank you, you've been very helpful. I'll keep trying different ways, otherwise I'll just head up to belfast really early on 26th and see if they've got anything close to what I was looking for.

Good luck and keep an eye on this thread, few people won't be able to make it and will post up here for someone else to collect instead, i got mine 2 years ago same way.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a 64gb 6S (not too picky on colour, as long as not rose gold)

This model is still available for reserve, if you can get someone else to do for you, checked silver and gold.

Thanks guys, managed to get someone else to reserve for me. Not sure why I couldn't, maybe it just doesn't like me!

Any word on the Irish unlocked pricing?

Looked at Apple.FR and it's €969 for a 64GB 6S+...
