Thanks - sorry for the stupid question how do I get to the reserve in store page lol!? I choose the model I want and they all say not available for store pick up - is there another page I need to be on?

It's too late, they've all gone. Click on it at 6 tomorrow morning.

maybe just wait for a bit for the rush to calm down? Just a suggestion.

I assume you mean the size and not the software right? I mean, one of the appealing things of iOS is that it rarely changes that much.

If you do mean the size, give it a week and you'll never want to go back to less than a 5.5" screen. Small screens suck biggrin

Got my 128gb 7+ in black yesterday, it's a bit bigger than my old 6 but it's just the same really.
as for the changes, no headphone jack makes no difference, the home button is much better when you get used to it than the normal moving part job on all the other iOS devices, stereo sound is nice but unnecessary, camera seems to be just the same as the old version.
I need a case.

just heard on the radio, probably old story but apple make around 80% profit on each phone.

That is pretty good going, not sure how much value is gives to consumers but people seem happy paying for it thou.

I've had a look but just can't see the extra features over a cheaper phone being worth it.

I bet that figure only takes into account the cost of the parts, the Daily Mail always do something similar every time an iPhone is launched; £2 for this £10 for that and your £600 phone actually only costs £25 to make, however there is never any mention of R&D.
