Iphone 5 UK reservation scheme.

Hi everyone
I am desperately trying to buy the iphone 5 here in the UK.
Because of the high demand for the handset, Apple have introduced the same reserve scheme as they did with the 4s.
It is active between 9am and 5pm (when most people are at work).
I have phoned Apple Retail, and they said it is a 'first come, first served' basis i.e. get on there at one second past 9, but one of the guys in my local Apple store said customers are picked randomly, so it does'nt matter what time you register as long as its between these hours.
Can anyone clarify this please?
Regards, Chris.

Have you looked at all the issues ther is with it and the new ios 6 ?
You might wanna hold back untill all the bugs are fixed.
I know it dosn't answer your question, but it might keep you from loosing your hair and keep your faith in Apple.

  • Iphone 4 reserve process

    I have been reading a lot of confusing posts on this board from various people Unfortuanetly I don't know who's right & who's wrong. In regards to preorder to pick up at the store and reserve a phone to pick up at the store. What's the difference? This is not the first time that Apple has allowed you to preorder the iphone. As I understand, they did this last year for the 3gs. Isn't there anyone out there that went thru this same process last year with the 3gs, that can tell us how the process worked last time? I've reserved a phone at my local Apple store, got the confirmation email that states at the very top in big letters "Thanks for reserving your iphone. It will be here June 24." Well will it? If I'm at the back of the line, will it still be there when I get to the front? Us rookies at this need help! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

  • IPhone 5 Reserve

    Hi there,
    Has anyone had any luck reserving an iPhone 5 for next day pickup because I haven't at all! I have been trying to reserve one for about a week and a half everyday and still no luck! I have been trying to reserve on at the Apple store bullring and Touchwood centre in the UK in the 16GB white model and had no luck at all. Does anyone know why I have not been able to get one as the Apple guy over the phone said they have some in stock SIM free but they said you can only get one by reserving it.
    Many thanks and your replies are greatly appreciated :)

    I found the link http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/
    You need to buy online between 10pm and 4am.

  • IPhone battery replacement scheme Ireland

    My iPhone 5 qualifies for the battery replacement scheme and the sleep button replacement scheme. However I cannot find information on how to send my phone back to Apple in Ireland.

    Probably as you do not have an Apple Store in Ireland
    Call AppleCare in Ireland for guidance

  • Just Spoke to Apple Store Reagrding iPhone 4 Reservations

    I, like alot of people on here, made an in store reservation for my iPhone. (No option to pre pay like alot of people were saying) I just got off the phone with the Apple store that my reservation is at. I confirmed that I indeed did have a reservation for an iPhone at their store. I also confirmed that my reservation did indeed guarantee me an iPhone at said store. So for all of you who are worried about your in store reservations, I encourage you to call you local store and speak to someone directly.
    Have a great day!

    Ok, so with all the chatter I decided to do the same thing. Just got off the phone with the Apple store where I reserved my phone.
    The guy I spoke to was very nice and helpful. He said they didn't have access to the actual "reserve list" but that if I received a confirmation email about my reserve(which I did) that I will definitely have a phone reserved for me on launch day at that store. I also asked about limited reserves and if I show up at 5:00pm and the line had 600 people in it, would my reserved phone be given to someone else? He said if the email states that it will be held until the close of business, then that is what it means. The phone will be held in your name until the store closes. He said it was the same way for the iPad reservations. The device was held until 3:00pm if you had a reservation. If you didn't pick it up, then it was released to be sold to anyone.
    I feel a lot more confident now about getting my phone on the 24th!!!
    If you're in doubt, just call your store. They seem more than willing to answer questions and offer clarifications.

  • (iPhone) Undocumented sms:// scheme

    I found the sms:// URL scheme by trial and error, and likewise figured out how to fill in the phone number. I saw some other threads on this topic, but wondered if anyone had figured out how to pass the text body in the sms:// url...
    Thanks!

    Here's the basic open SMS to a specific phone number...
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sms:+16037831752"]];
    I've tried "sms:+16037831752?body=test", but SMS doesn't open the the phone number in SMS.
    I only tried body since it is what makes the most sense and is what this draft spec is suggesting.

  • IPhone 4 Reservation confirmation but...

    I got a confirmation email but when I check order status it does not show a reservation. Is a phone still reserved under my name? Is anyone else having a problem like this?

    I suspect a reservation does not constitute an "order" since you have not paid for anything yet.
    I have both a pre-order (shows up in my account page) and an in-store reservation (does not show up in my account page).

  • IPhone calendar color scheme useless after update

    This past Thursday, I updated my iPhone with the update software. Since then, the primary colors of the calendar events have all been changed to muted colors. Unfortunately, the default color of my primary Outlook calendar events has been changed to light turquoise with white letters, rendering the letters unreadable.
    Based on feedback received from the Apple Store, I did a hard reset, and then a full Restore, to no avail.
    Has anyone seen this and do you know of a fix? Thanks, marc

    This worked to fix color problems on calendar items synced over air via exchange. You might want to try this:
    To fix funky calendar items:
    Do not connect to computer.
    Settings> mail contacts calendars > Click on the account you are having trouble with
    Turn OFF Calendar sync
    Wait ~30 seconds
    Turn On Calendar sync
    As calendar items push to the iPhone, you’ll see these items being restored and unique calendars assigned. This can take about ~30 + minutes or so. Also, it takes awhile to push, you may have to wait 15 minutes for push to initiate, depending on phone settings and time since last push. But… this fixes the problem.
    Hope this helps. It worked for me without restoring iPhone to original settings.

  • Reserved for Store Pickup, No pre-order and Ship to Store!

    I'm reading all these discussions and my head is exploding. I was up @ 4am yesterday banging away like you all.
    My criteria was this; I was eligible for upgrade @ $199 with the activation fee waived (sweet). I wanted to pick the phone up at my Apple store because I trust it more then brown.
    When I clicked the pre-order link, there was NO option to have it sent to the store, it could only be sent to my house. Let me repeat that, NO option to send anywhere but house. It even says it "Pre-order your iPhone 4 from the Apple Online Store and we’ll ship it free — directly to your door and ready to use."
    So I went to the reserve in store process. There was NO WAY TO PAY for it up front. Let me repeat that; NO WAY TO PAY for the reserved phone. So I received my confirmation email and said there is a phone waiting for me on the 24th!
    I called 2 Apple stores and chatted online with 3 Apple support people and they ALL, every single 1 of them, said the same exact thing. The only way to pickup in the store is to go through the reservation process. The store will have 2 lines, reserved and general. The reserved will be there all day for you to pick up.
    So, does anyone have some proof that you pre-ordered it, paid for it and have it sent to your Apple store, not your home to pick up?

    I got to the page state,"iPhone is reserved for pickup." Please bring government issued ID, debit or credit card...... No email received. Do I really have one on hold????
    This time for this phone things are very confusing. I preordered yesterday for in store pickup got through the verification process saw that all my data and cell plan info were correct. Then at the end I got the message "see you at the store". Bring picture id. Nothing else, no confirming email as of today, nothing showing under my account in the on line store. I just came from the store that I picked for my phone to go to and there is nothing in their system either. So I went down to the AT&T store in that mall and preordered it there, no issues. It's just as well since I'm ordering it under my wife's number to get the discount and would have to go there any way to make the switch. I've read other posts from people that saw the same thing on line that I did when they ordered, "see you at the store" but no other confirmation. I'm going to assume that it means the order did not go through. So keep that in mind if you got what I did.

  • Using someone else's Upgrade (on my reservation)

    Ok so i have an iphone 4 reserved under my name today. If I go in I would like to know if it is possible to do the following. My dad is the one eligible for an upgrade, not me, so is it possible for me to bring him with me and use his upgrade to get myself an iphone 4? (he has an iphone 3G). He also has the 30$ unlimited plan and would like to keep that, while I told him I would be fine with just the 15$ plan (don't plan on using the internet all that much and will have wifi with me at college). If what I said before is possible, would it be best for me to sign up using his upgrade as his phone (keeping the unlimited plan) and would I then be able to take it to an AT&T store and switch my number to the iphone4 bumping down to the 15$ plan and keep his old phone at the 30$ plan?

    Yes you can.

  • [iPhone] Start application through browser link, how?

    We have a homepage for our game, and the user can visit the homepage through a button in the game.
    Now it would be convenient for the user to change back to the game through a link on the homepage.
    I know this works because this site for example pulls it off somehow:
    http://www.sunflat.net/iphone/app/papijump/?lang=en
    Download papijump (its free), open the page, click the start-link and papijump will start.
    I was experimenting with custom url schemes but with no success. All that safari tells me for my test links is :
    "Safari can not open the page because the URL is invalid"
    As example: For my game I registered the URL Identifier "com.Companyname.iphone" and the Scheme "Gamename"
    using "com.Companyname.iphone.Gamename:" wont work for me.
    Please help us out!

    It shouldn't make any difference, but I'd recommend using "gamename" rather than "Gamename".
    After that, you should find that the gamename: prefix on its own will work for you. It does for me. You shouldn't include the URL identifier as part of the prefix.

  • If I have a reservation email, does that mean I am safe?

    I think the answer to this question is yes. But I see a lot of people complaining they made a reservation, called the store, and found they don't have a reservation. Has anyone received email confirmations, and called the apple store and found they don't have one?
    I tried to call the apple store the other day and they guaranteed me that I do have one on reserve if I got an email about it, but they wouldn't look it up in their list since I said I had the email confirmation.

    I'm surprised they wouldn't check your reservation status. I called twice; once the day of pre-orders and again after I heard reports of mysterious cancellations. Both times they just asked for my first and last name, then confirmed my Apple ID, and then confirmed the phone I had reserved. I'd try calling again, it can't possible be that inconvenient for them to check and only took a few seconds over the phone.
    I got two emails as well: one a few minutes after I pre-ordered confirming my reservation and another yesterday reminding me to pick mine up the 24th. Did you get that email too? I also have the Apple store app on my iPod which has my iPhone 4 reservation listed as well.
    I guess you could try going through all those different checks if it helps ease your mind. On a side note, if I get to the store at 6am for a 7am opening, any ideas on how long I can expect to wait with a reservation?

  • 4s reservation system, no pick up dates???

    finally got into the iphone 4s reservation system to reserve a phone..  It lets me choose my store and pick a phone.. And then in the final step in the process it says there are no pick up dates available for my location... Although the system lets you select that location   What gives?

    Same here.  I think it's just a tease--a few nights ago the website was just broken.  Then I could access the site but it wouldn't let me select which store I wanted to pick up.  The night after I could select the store but there were no phones.  And now I can finally select a phone to reserve but there are no pick up dates available...
