From a few of the thread's on the Apple discussion forum, people are saying that they've rang up Apple and been told it's 00:01am Pacific Standard Time, meaning 8:00am for the UK.. Still no official, in writing, word though.

 

[C.J]

Logic says it'll be 8am ish here.

Thanks for all the replies.

Yes, the only way of keeping my unlimited data is to buy it offline, that's why I paid for the 4 in full.

But this time, must upgrade. Got a lot going on and can't warrant spending £600+ on a phone right now lol.

Revels, you said I can carry out my O2 'upgrade' at the apple store? Do I need to arrange anything with O2 beforehand?

Oh and I don't tether, I'm just out a lot lol! Thanks again

Who's the other man? :rasp:

That's what I said. She's on maternity leave, so calling her mum and best friend for like 45 min most days is the cause, £70 in extra calls it's cost me, and they're mostly landline numbers! Suffice to say I now have bt unlimited anytime calls! Gonna def change networks so we are are all on Voda so get free Voda-Voda calls

So, a larger screen, better camera and a faster processor for quite the inflated price?

No. Hardly the breakthrough technological advancement many expected.

 

[DannyR]

It's hard to advance on such a great phone, they've just refined it and added some better things to "keep up" with the market.

 

[Snakey]

Oh I don't know, they came out with Siri last year. Flol

TM and Orange stores will be able to pre-order tomorrow morning, £25 refundable deposit.

Where have you got this information from?

Great news if so!

Pretty much the same price as all new release iPhones? The manufacturing process and materials used warrant the price IMO, not to mention the upgrade over the previous model

Not really. Wireless charging, NFC would have been great advancements. Anyway I'm not here to troll, just wanted to point that out.

I think last year it went online at 9.30 if I remember right, so should be anyone's guess this time.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

I still can't believe it doesn't say when we can order... Or is it deliberate to ease the amount of traffic as nobody knows

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

Yeah this poor update, pants iPhone5 will still outstrip sales of any single phone ever released. Go figure.

A great update from a 3GS/4 but I see zero point in updating from a 4S unless you have money to burn or like fancy gadgets.
Of course it will sell well, it is the best handset out there on the best operating system, but it's not a good enough upgrade to warrant me spending ££££££.

I think I've lost interest with all the nano sim and when to pre order confusion.
I'll let the dust settle and get one in a few weeks

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

I'm ordering mine this afternoon (Korea) from the US. Hopefully I can get a sim card soon.

This says that o2 and Vodafone will never be able to offer 4G LTE in the UK because EE owns the entire band.

If o2 and Voda wanted to offer 4G, they'd have to wait till the 3G band was cleared up for 4G use, which could take 5-10 years!

Anyone know if this is entirely accurate??? If so, I may leave o2!

There are talks going on currently between o2 and EE apparently trying to work out a deal for a usage policy? But will come with a big price to pay I think

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

I'm now gonna wait until I see one in the flesh uinto I buy.

If I had the 4S I probably wouldn't upgrade. But the 4 is old now.
Birthday on the 28th, might pick one up then.

 

[jenic]

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

I'd of thought EE would have to share their network with voda/O2, otherwise it would be anti competitive from such a huge network surely?

O2 will have their own 4G network soon, but possibly not on the bands the (first gen) iPhone 5 will work with afaik.

If the USA time is midnight, it's obviously going to be 8am/9am here!

Easy to say that now

Will try again in the morning.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

I wish the network operators released their pricing before the Apple pre-orders so people can figure out wtf they're doing! Annoying!

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

i'm going back to black, black car, black phone, going for a 64gb though, my 32gb keeps running out of space.

Should be a decent upgrade from the 4 I'm hoping, was happy to miss out the 4s.

 

[172Ben]

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

Per order is from 8am network wise

Voda are getting 4g, early next year. Just waiting on the spectrum from ofcom

Same here, although rather than a SLK55 AMG, I just bought some new black jeans, and some new black trainers. Basically on the same level.

I'm going 32GB this time! I think I could fill 23GBish easily, then the rest will be to play with.

I've also always thought black looked better in a case, and I'm to clumsy to keep it naked anymore, as much as I would love to!

 

[Ged]

I will never be able to afford the 32gb, will have to make do with 16. Iv had to cut down allot on photos music apps.. Basically everything.

You would have thought by now 32 would be standard.

Apple give me a memory card slot. Oh wait that removes revenue from you

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

Did someone say that pre order on networks starts at 8am too?

 

[valver lad]

Well, the store is down atm. So hopefully at 8am, we'll be able to casually buy from them :roll:
