FAQ
What time do pre-orders start on Friday?
Pre-orders will most likely start at 8:01am BST.
Is there a limit to how many iPhones I can order?
Apple typically imposes a limit of ordering 2 iPhones per Apple ID.
Will my order be delivered on the 19th if I pre-order?
If your email conformation says 'Delivery: 19/9 in most areas', please refer to this shipping page to see when your order will be delivered. The vast majority of the UK will receive it on the 19th.
Orders placed after models have sold out for the initial wave will be delivered in the time specified when ordering from the store.
Will my order be delayed if I order a case/Apple Care with the iPhone?
In the past, people have experienced delays in receiving their orders if they order any accessories along with the phone. It is recommended that you order the iPhone separate to any accessories to avoid the potential delay.
Should I pre-order from the desktop store, or mobile app?
Typically the app is more stable when pre-orders first start, compared to the desktop store.
Once I pre-ordered, Apple placed a hold on the funds in my account but released it a few days later without taking the money. Is there something wrong with my order?
When you pre-order from Apple and pay by Credit Card, Apple will place a "hold" on the amount with your card company. This checks you've got the funds, and stops you spending them. However, a hold only lasts a few days, after which time your card company will automatically make the funds available to you to spend again. When you see this happen, it is nothing to worry about, it DOES NOT mean Apple has cancelled your order. Apple will not take the money out of your account until the day of shipping.

What courier will my order be delivered by?
Apple typically dispatches orders with UPS and Syncreon.
My order has been shipped with UPS, how can I track it?
On your order page there will be a tracking number starting with 1Z, simply copy and paste it into the tracking box on the UPS website and it should display your tracking results. Please note that tracking numbers may take some time to become active.
My order has been shipped with Syncreon, how can I track it?
Enter your 'Delivery Number' in the 'Order No/Delivery No' box on the Syncreon tracking page, and your Apple order number (starts with W) in the Web Order No box. If your tracking number starts with '309' you will then be able to track it to delivery on the UK Mail Tracking Page. Please note that tracking numbers may take some time to become active.
Is there a link back to last years UK thread for the iPhone 5s and 5c?
Yes, you can find that thread here.

I'm currently due an upgrade on O2 as my iPhone 5 Pay Monthly contract has come to its natural end. I'm hoping O2 will start pre-orders this week!
