The next iPhone/iPad; speculation thread.

[Pistachio]

On contract I'm guessing? I emailed apple to ask when they will be posting my iphone and they said it will be dispatched in October...

Yes, on contract

Maximum baller phones then faffing about with pauper charging cables? Really?

Surely for the sake of a few £s but minimum fuss it should be genuine Apple all the way?

Agreed. You can get OEM cables from eBay for a decent price as well.

 

[beatjunkie]

Guessing CPW, same as me?

Mine only took 2 days as one was a Sunday LOL

Yeah CPW, on 02 network phone looks wicked! Mega deal too as the phones worth £710!!

Care to link me, Luke?

 

[Tom]

As long as they are MFI certified you are good to go.

Not sure if monoprice still ship to the UK but thats another good source.

 

[C.J]

Cj, not sure what you're doing pal - as above. Got my slate grey 16gb a week or so ago, just called Vodafone to send it back and upgrade to 32gb as my music from spotify won't fit. Two day turn around, set for delivery tomorrow...

Going nuts. Still nothing.

Has anyone successfully received a White (silver) 16GB?

That's bonkers, pal. I've had two in the time we've been talking in this thread - swapped the Slate "Gray" 16gb for the same but in 32gb guise. Not trying to wind you up. Just pointing out it might be worth cancelling and looking else where. Depends how fussed you are!

My £1.57 eBay cable works perfectly, with no error messages though

Apple store bluewater wouldn't sell me a 5S unless i was getting it on contract. Bit annoying tbh as i don't want a crappy contract.

Can Apple sell contracts with any company?

I'm going to go to the Apple store 9am tomorrow, see if I can get an unlocked one. Sick of waiting for them to deliver it

 

[seb]

The people i saw buying them on thursday had EE simcards. Not sure what other contracts they do.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

They can sell any contract for any network. I bought a 32GB black one a couple of weeks ago in an EE store and went with the gf to buy a 16GB White one last week in the same store in Brighton. Apple had stock too for contracts.

 

[jesus]

Got my gold 32gb last Monday - love it!

Oh and cases/covers are for gays. X

 

[Pistachio]

I got my black 5S at the weekend. Got to the shop at 8.45am and I was 3rd in line. I bought a 2m charging cable too. It's weird just picking something up, buying it on your phone, then walking out the shop without speaking to anyone. Seems quite trusting of them.

I've decided to go case-less too. I put an all round screen protector on at the weekend, but noticed today there was a vertical line on the screen that looked like dead pixels. So I just had to peel off the protector to check and thankfully it is just a flaw in the protector.

Gold is lovely but it's a little too Asda-spec for me personally.

 

[CrippsCorner]

The only bit I like on the gold iPhone's is the bit around the button.

 

[Brookie.]

Is anyone else going to be going for one of the new iPads? I'm due an upgrade as I'm still rolling with the 2.

Looking forward to the announcements tomorrow.

I'd like one. I still have an original iPad. It's chronically slow. Only use it as a radio and for Netflix in the kitchen now. Shame, as I loved using it when I first got it.

 

[AK]

I'm all over the Mini 2.

 

[unofficialPete]

This made me google mini 2, who the f**k comes up with these retarded headlines...

iPad mini 2: Experts now say it WILL be released this month, and we may be seeing the iPad mini 3 next year
Mirror.co.uk ‎- 7 hours ago

I'm finding the mini rather s**t on iOS 7, could do with some more horsepower then again the Nexus 7 is probably much better value either way.

More like Arab spec LOL

Still waiting. 4 weeks now.

Got a call from CPW today, they've upgraded me FOC from a 16gb to 64gb. Should be here Thursday, we'll see.

 

[Al_G]

That's a good result!!!

 

[Rich-D]

Loving the battery life on the 5S

Christ, well at least they've done something for you. Fingers crossed chap.

 

[Rich-D]

Best not buy an iPad until next week then...

 

[seb]

My 5S is now in process of being dispatched. Light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[RDH]

Still waiting for my 32GB Gold 5S from o2. Been 4 weeks this saturday. I'm going to call them tomorrow and say if it isn't dispatched this week I'm cancelling my order.

 

[172Ben]

That'll work!

64gb gold, waiting since launch day

 

[RDH]

No joy. Said he doesn't have any clue when it will arrive. Been 4 weeks so I've got two left. Everywhere else I've looked is saying between 2 and 4 weeks for delivery. Although he did say if I haven't have ordered Gold it would probably be here by now.

 

[C.J]

My 64GB Silver turned up yesterday. Bonus considering it was a 16GB I ordered.

Fingerprint sensor is awesome.

Thanks Christ for that pal!

 

[RDH]

Coincidentally I had a text earlier to say that mine is being delivered tomorrow. Set of pr*cks.

 

[GarethM]

My 5S keeps freezing, has done it 4 times this week. All from doing different things on the phone. Have restored it twice and has still done it. Will be going to Apple if it persists.

 

[AK]

Event tonight. COME ON iPAD MINI
