I cant imagine there would be anyone there now! Also given its inside a shopping centre where would you queue?

 

[aucky]

Delivery confirmation for tomorrow. This is happening :tongueclosed:

I queued up to get my 6 or 6s from meadowhall in sheffield and they just made people queue up in outdoors car park, in the rain, in october, in yorkshire

Order ready for collection tomorrow, cannot wait. Will be a step up from the iPhone 5 I'm currently rolling with.

Wow that’s many many steps up! I’m going from a 7+

Yep, think I'm due an upgrade lol. To be fair the 5 has been a great phone.

Delivery status updated! Being delivered by DPD thankfully too! They do a large portion of the Apple / EE orders!

Yep, DPD are probably the only courier I would trust with anything expensive. The other half’s getting delivered tomorrow through them too.

Oh and to confirm earlier. Most apps only have finger recognition guys so it's not a simple port from finger to face. Most apps just started using finger aswell.

Face authentication won't be there straight away.

Those upgrading, don't suppose you want to sell your old one? Ideally a 6.. the old dear's has broken again!

She's just gone into town I think.. had a quick look and £150ish+ depending on memory.

 

[eugegall]

Mine will be here between 12:30 and 13:30.

 

[AdDaMan]

3 hours traffic on way to get mine.

 

[boultonn]

Can't remember the last time I didn't get the new iphone within a few days of launch, this is killing me. Stupid brexit

 

[Ocrlew]

Same! Every year since the iPhone 3G I’ve had it on release day! Bloody new job and earning no money on it I really want one!

 

[DrR]

So the new update of iOS last night has changed the way the phone scrolls on web pages, and they’ve still not fixed the calculator

 

[boultonn]

they’ve still not fixed the calculator

Time to go android mate

 

[DrR]

No cos then I’d have far more issues than a calculator that can’t keep up with my lightening reactions.

 

[Jaff.]

Calculator is fixed in 11.2.1

 

[DrR]

So people other than me are having issues! Yay

You can have my old one for £150 when mines delivered if you can wait a week?

 

[Matt Cup]

Anyone got there hands on one yet, waiting for my collection slot at 4:30 is killing me. The missus gets hers delivered at 14:30, but she's in work till 8 ha.

 

[eugegall]

Yep I have both of mine sat on my desk!

 

[DrR]

I’m yet to see a real pic of one yet, post one up!

 

[aucky]

Yep!

Wow... face ID is very fast!!

 

[eugegall]

Will do later on.

Interested to hear how you get on with the new gestures, sounds like most people have found them quite easy to get used to

I’ve been using the home button swipe for half an hour now. After 5 mins I didn’t even notice I was doing it!

 

[Gally]

Have they done away with battery percentage number?

 

[SC03OTT]

Have they done away with battery percentage number?

You can turn it on or off.

 

[aucky]

Have they done away with battery percentage number?

It’s on the swipe down menu. Not sure if you can display it permenantly.

 

[boultonn]

So what's the crack with FaceID for apps?
Some people are saying that rather than the TouchID dialogue coming up it's simply the FaceID one, but others are saying that it just fails to display, and others are given the option of allowing the app to use FaceID.
Guessing its down to whether the devs have already updated their code to reflect the change.
Anyone tried out Lloyds, Barclays, Amazon etc?

 

[Stay Puft]

How's the screen look on any iphone other than black? The battery and signal but must look odd being kind of off the screen
