Evening all
Does anyone know if the stores are getting additional stock on top of the pre-orders they've taken? I tried ordering online but got all that bad gateway nonsense and by the time I got to the order page it was saying the 6 plus 64GB was an additional 2-3 week wait 😞
Went into the store to pre-order and they've said all pre-orders are gone for launch day. Just wondered if they'll be getting extra for the people are prepared to queue?
I doubt it. Apple have been flooding shipping channels to try and get as many items out of China, so they will have allocated a certain amount to each store. I'd suggest phoning up nearby O2 stores or Carphone Warehouse to try and find places that have some stock yet.
From a report before the release:
"Apple shipments via major concerns like FedEx and UPS are said to be ‘incredibly high’ for the holiday quarter, pointing to a massive number of iPhones and whatever other units Apple announces for the fall season incoming. The company is apparently flooding its channels with devices, causing shipments for other ‘top tier’ device makers to be delayed to make way for Apple products."
