EE have said pre orders from mid day on Friday. And pricing will be released that morning.

Are you saying that so we all call late and you get in early

Apple will be on sale at 9 I guess like last time?

How much is a 5s 64GB worth? £300?

CeX are currently giving the best prices if your iPhone is mint... if it isn't, sell it to O2.

Personally I think these are the worst looking iPhones of the last few years, and I was seriously considering just sticking with my iPhone 5S or even going over to Windows Phone... but meh, I'll probably just get one anyway. Definitely not going for the Plus though! Wow, tbh I would rather just stick to 4" but my eyesight is terrible so I guess it'll have some merits.

Indeed, more if the handset is unlocked too, 237£ for a mint 32gb iPhone 5, my current handset is only 3.5 wks old, so i'll be collecting top coin for mine.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was chatting to the lads in work. I may end up keeping my 5 unless apple decide to make it stupid slow.

Selected stores are allowing you to pre-order in store. £25 to do it, you get a pre-order slip and they run it through on the day for you prior to the standard pre-orders going through.

Job jobbed.

Surely they'll get stick from Apple for that, if other suppliers can't take pre-orders until Fri, no ?

Annoyingly my 64GB comes up at the same price.

Misses sold her battered 64gb to them last month, when i say battered i mean humped, chucked in her hand bag everyday, was kicked along the street in Marbs earlier this year too, she got 204£ from Cex for it.

 

[skusey_]

The fact they've gotten rid of the 32b version annoys me, if anything drop the 16gb model as 32gb would be the most popular by now. 50\50 on if I'll get one based on the keynote, not much else currently on the market though that I like.

 

[Rich-D]

You would think with how modern Apple should be that they measure in inches, just seems so old fashioned ( I know that tv's and other screens also measure in this size ). I would of thought they would have moved on to mm or cm[SUP]2[/SUP]

They are an American company so use imperial measurements, not metric, it's not likely to change, unlike the UK that use a hybrid of the two, we like a pint of beer but 500g of meat.

I work for a US defence program and we measure in thou (thousands of an inch), so I'm quite used to working in imperial.

Am I not getting an apology? You've hurt my feelings.

 

[paddymph]

I'm really surprised O2, well actually all the networks haven't given us tariff details yet. Loads of people must be like me and waiting to upgrade now.

Indeed, i've checked the Vodafone site a few times today, PITA not knowing.

No proof that's iPhone pre order but if so I'm genuinely astounded.

Didn't insult you anyway. I said its bollox they are taking pre orders. If they are so be it i m just surprised.

ERM okay. Grow up?

If you walk into CEX, just over £300 cash in hand for a mint one >>> https://uk.webuy.com/phones/product.php?mastersku=SAPPI5S64GGR&sku=SAPPI5S64GGRO2A#.VBCeFmOwSvk

However eBay ones seem to be selling for £400+ so could be tempted to flog mine and get a shiny new 6

What else would it be? It's a member on here, hence cutting out any personal info.

Arse!! I mean, EE Have said 9pm on Friday for pre orders..

Apple measure in 0.5 and 0.9 of an inch, what's the fraction in real imperial?

Not every CeX will do this. I was behind someone in the Southend store trying to sell their iPhone and they said sorry we only take absolutely mint ones here, they straight up refused to buy it off him.

I've used Mazuma before though and they won't deduct money even if your iPhone is cracked and smashed! Although that was on the rear, not the front.

Good to know James, I'll check the prices in a few days - hopefully when my pre-order has been confirmed.

Must be down to the individual store then, in although the condition of my handset won't be an issue as it was a replacement from Apple on the 14th of August.

Are you really asking what they are in fractions??? :S

1/2 and 9/10 if you are being serious!

 

[MarkCup]

No, I'm saying it's not imperial.

 

[Gorms]

Oh I get you! Hah!

 

[JCC]

Already bored of no tariffs being announced yet.

Sitting here with my paper cut outs, still 50/50 on 6 or 6+

 

[C.J]

I doubt my account manager at EE will know any sooner, but I've asked him to call me as soon as he knows prices.

Any one upgrading with a 5 or 5s for sale, drop me a PM. Condition not really important, as long as it all works.

However the UI and UX is about 10 years behind Apple. It can have all the features in the world, but if it looks crap and isn't intuitively useable I'll still buy the fruit based product.

Couldn't agree more, I'm swaying towards 6+ this morning.

Lol I do agree to be fair. I'm not loyal to either. The new iphone looks lovely. Especially against the nexus 4.

I use both pure Android (Nexus 5) and iOS (5C) on a daily basis...I find comments of Android not being intuitive perplexing.

It's different, of course, but give it as much time as it originally took you to get your head around iOS and it's on a par and even better if you like fiddling with s**t.

 

[N0ddie]

Thought I'd highlight this for the Giff Gaffers:

Seems as though their "unlimited" packages are being reduced to 1 and thats gonna be throttled.

If you have do do that to make it work, then surely its not intuitive?
