From today 23th September 2014 at 00:00 a historical precedent is established in Spain, Apple allows make terminal reservations pre-launch on the web Apple Store corporate closer to you.
As we can all see, since Jobs passed away the company is giving a shift in its distribution and sale policy, Not to mention the new designs, systems and widgets that the brand is launching. Fanboys know that Jobs would not have allowed third-party keyboards to be opened, for example.
In this casuistry we find that we can already book a terminal in the Apple Store to be able to pick it up on the day of its launch, the next September 26, each of these reservations entails the selection of a collection time slot so that the purchase is efficient.
I remind you that this reservation does not imply that the iPhone has to be purchased as free, it may be linked to an operator of which are offered directly in physical stores. Also remember that they have a system of financing through Cetelem.
Booking the terminal implies some great advantagesThe first is that you are going to get it for sure since you can only be in three cases;
- You request a portability, the terminal is saved in your name and it will be for you when the time stipulated by the companies for the change passes, which if there are no problems is established between 48 and 72 hours.
- Change the terminal in your same company taking advantage of the financing options they offer (not available for all operators)
- You buy it without linking you to a company, what had always been called «spirit«.
It is important to mention that now the terminals are all free, the contract you make with the company implies the use of a rate and financing to which you are obliged and there is a penalty in case of non-compliance, but the operators already they can't link you to the terminal to them so they are all factory free.
Another advantage is the reduced waiting time Since the purchase queue is actually two, one for reservations and another for ordinary mortals, so you will also spend less time waiting since you go at an agreed time and with fewer people in it.
Finally, keep in mind that the stock of stores for the iPhone 6 Plus will be limited and this may be the only option to ensure access to the model.
I have already reserved one (you can not more).
But it seems very strange to me: S
You can reserve two per Apple ID… take a good look !!
But only 1 a day.
By tomorrow this is more than exhausted.
He only leaves me for the Apple Store in Barcelona. In the rest they will all already be reserved? It happens to you?
I have booked one in Valencia and everything is perfect
I have reserved the iPhone 6 plus in Madrid, the Apple ID belongs to my girlfriend but the name can be changed because she cannot go, I will have to go, I hope I did it right
good night after reserving an iphone 6 plus which means Without SIM card
It means that you buy it directly, without putting options from telephone companies, anyway, if you later want to make a drinkable or finance it there will be no problem.
Remember that it is a separate queue for those of us who have booked online !!!
worth a lot thanks
reserved the one of 4.7 without problems. I hope you did everything right and on Friday this hehe.
Does it happen to anyone that in the confirmation email comes part in another language? Catalan can it be? And that I have reserved for Madrid. Thanks.
am if that has happened to me but hey while it's booked ... I hope that on Friday they won't say that I didn't reserve or the reservation doesn't come out:
If you have received the email, the rest is a template error ...
I reserved my iphone 6 plus 64 Gb special gray in Marbella, without problems.
Thanks for the notice compis you have saved me a night of queues without sleeping.
I'm glad, there will be many of us who will save a night without sleep, especially those of us who want the Plus and we know that few will arrive ...
Regards !!
I already have one booked at La Cañada, is it paid in cash or by card?
As you want, they have both options, you can even opt for financing.
Thanks Friend! I had heard that only with a card. I have to bring all the documentation that they put in the mail, ID, last invoice, passport, nie? Thank you for your answers
That is why you put what to keep your bank account?
I don't know why you put it ...... I suppose that without your ID they don't give it to you either, right?
The DNI is because each reservation is linked to an Apple ID which is a DNI on a chip, while the bank details are in case you decide to finance it with them, since it is what Cetelem asks for, or in case of making a portability, to have where to bill the next monthly payments.
All the best
I do not know why it says that you have to carry bank details, it will be to finance it. I say
The bank details along with the old iPhone and the identification is in case you want to configure the terminal in store, it is not mandatory.
IPhone 6 Plus reserved in Puerto Venecia, confirmation email received!
We will no longer have to sleep "in the open" lol.
Hopefully everything works fine !!
Everything perfect, 2 iPhone 6 plus 128gb apache gray ^^ although I will go to queue anyway XDDD la cañada there I go hahaha
Remember that you are in a different queue and that you have selected a pick-up time !!!
I just booked a plus of 16 gb hopefully until Friday I get money
2 iphones? It says that it only leaves one per day, I imagine it would be with two different IDs, by the way ... where can the name of the person who is going to pick it up be changed? someone mentioned that it could be done, thanks
I have reserved two without problem. As for the name of the Apple ID you have to access the ID data and change it, a colleague did it when the reservation, you will have to try later.
I have already reserved my iPhone 6 64GB Space Gray. Thank you so much Actualidad iPhone by the warning. I spent all day calling the different Apple Stores and in the end a girl who works in Xanadú told me that they already had the terminals there and that she could almost guarantee that on Thursday there would be reservations from the website and in the end she been before, thank goodness because there probably won't be much stock tomorrow. In case anyone wants to get one, hurry up because the girl from Xanadú told me that there was less than half of the 6 Plus compared to the 6. Greetings and thank you again. I don't have to sleep there on the street because I already had a Decathlon chair and everything hahaha.
You're welcome Carlos, now it's time for you to enjoy it.
Carmen
Let's see if a comrade can confirm that the secondary documents (such as electricity, water, gas bills ...) are only for customers who want to finance their purchase. Thanks!
I suppose that if ... if not it does not make sense, that you take the 700 leuros and your ID and they ask you for an invoice ... that I do not have my case because I have almost nothing in my name ....
They are necessary to configure the terminal in the store, if you want to take it home, it is not necessary, you pay for it, say good morning and leave with the terminal in one of those cute little bags
Only for financing or probabilities ... that is, when you opt for a fragmented payment model and they have to know your account and if it is really where you have the money ...
I confirm you, it is not necessary. You make the reservation of the terminal but by not indicating the means of payment they prevent you by saying that you carry documentation, accreditation (DNI, passport, NIE ...) in case your option is financing. For the rest as always, card, metal or NFC, you do not need any of that 😉
Greeting.
They can no longer be reserved? I am not hurt by reserving
Yes, you can, you have accessed the link in the article, I just entered and it is still operational
Thanks for the warning. Reserved without problems in psg. Grace - Barcelona
And you can't make a reservation to buy it on the apple website and have it delivered to your home?
It is for store pickup only, a special surprise event. Another thing is that there are some in stock (which at the rate they are going all will be sold out today) and then you buy it on the 26th and then if you could, like anything else from the apple store. But this reservation is a surprise event and only collection in store, in fact, you have to start choosing store ... PS: iphone 6 plus 128 gigs gold 😀, what a winssss
iPhone 6 Gray 64GB reserved !! Oooolé.
Someone could explain with more experience what the roll of the queues is like, if when you book it you enter first, etc….
I stayed to sleep all night in the Apple Store in Valladolid peace to buy the 5, when I went at 21,00:8 p.m. there were already XNUMX people queuing, so to avoid problems we decided to make a number with the names and that way we could go to Sit in the car for a while, since the shopping center was closed The theme will be the same or similar for those who have not booked through the web But in this case when going with reservation and time, it is assumed that there will be two tickets, one for the People with a reservation and ota for those who queued without a reservation, by going with an agreed time it is assumed that you will not have to wait long.
Exactly like this, there will be two queues, one for those who come at street level to buy and another for those who have it reserved, remember that when booking you have stipulated a collection time, within this time the collection will be more effective because this way They are delivered scaled, all you have to do is show the reservation to the specialist who manages the queue and wait your turn.
The reservation results in a code that you can show from the email or SMS if you are not an iPhone or PassBook user if you are (the email includes the code in this program so that it is quick to read)
All the best
Reserved Plus 16GB space gray! I see that white and gold are going to be safe 🙂 Thank you very much actualidadiphone for the notice, and above all to you, Carmen, for the article! We have saved a lot of time waiting in line. Now I just hope they keep it until I go pick it up in the afternoon! I hope so!
You're welcome, that's what we're for, and of course they keep it…. that I pick up at 16 hours !!!
Seriously, I have spoken with Apple sources and only what is being offered is being offered, so it is impossible for a reservation to run out of its terminal, even if it has to go another day to pick it up because it makes a drinkable, that device is for you and nobody takes it away from you (removing thieves and pickpockets who will be at the doors doing the August) ...
regards
Oops !! I know how to do it. I can book and if I can't go later, what happens? I don't know the turn I have on Friday yet
Hey.
I've been trying for a while, and although it tells me that there is availability, when I finish the process it says «Sorry, but this service is not available at the moment. Try again later." Is it happening to someone else? Thanks
There is no "historical precedent." With the iPhone 5 it was also possible to reserve and pick up in the store, and that was two years ago. You have to learn more before writing what it seems to appear to know.
You better inform yourself or read what it says, there is no reservation history before launch. So you are wrong and you are the one who pretends to know without knowing or reading, that you get tired of such a smart guy.
Here it makes it very clear:
"Starting today, September 23, 2014 at 00:00 a historical precedent is established in Spain, Apple allows pre-launch terminal reservations on the corporate website of the Apple Store closest to you."
Two years ago it was possible to reserve the 5 and pick it up in store. You obviously have no idea.
see if you have set the phone correctly, it happened to me and the phone began with 003400346 ……. and when removing the 00340034 to come out, coincidence or not but it has left me like that
Choose the pick-up time well that the minute you pass, your reservation will be canceled.
Oh, and you can't change the time or anything once booked.
Be careful with this, although the reservations move in hourly intervals of one hour and it counts from the moment the specialist reads the code in the queue, which is expected to be short and brief.
I just spoke with the RioShoping AppleStore of Valladolid to ask them if another person who carries my ID, an authorization made and signed by me authorizing him to pick up the terminal could pick up the iphone that I reserve with my ID and they have told me NO, that It can only be collected by the person holding the ID with which it was reserved, not even carrying the documentation described, I clarify that in my case it is an iPhone purchase without being linked to any operator and with cash payment, that is, the simplest And as I tell you they have told me NO. Has anyone else consulted this? '???, because I imagine that many people will not be able to attend and are thinking of sending someone else.
They just confirmed the same in Barcelona La Maquinista. They allege that this is why they have the pick-up schedule in one-hour slots throughout the day, so that the Apple ID holder can be seen and “distracted moral acts” are not carried out with the reservations.
I'm sorry, but I can't give you good news ...
I hope this is not true! In fact, they should give a week's notice .. I find it embarrassing! And all of us will wait in line! We run out of it ?? Does anyone know if there will also be for those of us who go at night to wait?
It has nothing to do with it, the applestore do not reserve all their stock if not a small percentage only, logically there will be stock in the stores in addition to the reserved ones, another thing is that there is for everyone who queues that it will be no, That's why when I went two years ago I went to Apple at 21.00:9 p.m. and had the number XNUMX (we distributed the numbers ourselves to avoid problems) those who went in the morning and got in line were left without a terminal.
I hope so because if not .. It will hurt and wait all night long, now I also think that they have released it in September instead of October like last year .. It will be because they will have made enough iPhone for almost everyone
I do not want to be ominous, but pay attention to Texuas and see soon because despite the fact that they reserve stock for those who do not make reservations, there are terminals that have little stock, especially the Plus ones. Last year in Barcelona stocks were depleted in a matter of hours for weeks.
Go easy and save your site ... good luck!
But when you pick it up, do they ask you for the key of your reservation id?
and also the DNI right?
by the way, I was in the machine the year of the iPhone 5 and I did not see a reservation queue, only the operator queue… ..
Right, both.
In product launch, it is the first time in Spain that there are reservations, so why the queue? ..
Does anyone know if a reservation can be modified?
Test in the contact telephone number that provides the reservation: 900 150 503…
It is what I said, never in the other launches there was something like this, I suppose that the reservation queue will be marked at the door of the store… ..
Joer, I have received the email from We have reserved your IPhone but it does not give me a reservation code or anything, does it happen to you? Then in the queue I will only be able to provide Apple's email ... Thank you Carmen for your effort always
I am in the same position that you do not see any code
Nobody called to ask how they can know if you have reserved or not since in the email they have sent does not put a reservation number
I have not received any code either, just the email, and nothing I can add to passbook.
I suppose they will send the reservation number throughout the day, I have received the mail and nothing else too.
I have just contacted the Apple store where I made the reservation, and they tell me that the email is enough, with the name and Apple ID, that there is no reservation number.
I have also spoken with an Apple Store and they have told me that no code has to appear in the email, that your ID and Apple ID is enough for the collection.
Luckily I reserved a silver 6GB 64 last night, in 64GB there is hardly anything available for reservation anywhere, if perhaps some gold ...
In the Cañada everything is exhausted ... the only thing to take you covers ...
First of all…. Hi carmen! I found this site by chance and I was blown away when I saw that you participate.
In case you don't remember me, we met a few years ago at the CIFO d'Hospitalet 😉
I have reserved to go on Friday at 15:00 p.m., I also have the email without any code, although the time of the reservation is indicated. As ppr indicates here with that, the ID and the ID should be enough.
Hello, how about I have been able to reserve an iPhone 6 of 16 in space gray but I wanted it with more capacity to be able to be the 128gb in space gray and others I go from Seville expressly at what time do you recommend me to arrive to be able to access the iPhone I want. I plan to catch the bird on the 25th at noon to arrive around 18:00 at Puerta del Sol to spend the night. What do you think will there be many people? Thanks for your opinion.
Does anyone know if the stores will open that day before 10? I have read something like this, but if for example the first strip was from 10 to 11 (which is mine) it is absurd to go before, right?
Another question, does anyone know how to leave your old iPhone in exchange for a discount?
All AppleStore will open from 8 in the morning.
Hello, I have a doubt, this morning I reserved 2 different iPhones with 2 different appleIDs but both in my name, since reserving with an appleID only gave me the option to reserve 2 identical iPhone. Do you think they will put me in any way having made two reservations in this way?
Thanks Carlos! And if I saw at 8 instead of 10, will they give it to me already?
Thanks Carlos! And if I go at 8 instead of 10, will they give it to me earlier? Or is it only for purchase without reservation?
Well, the truth is I don't know, but I imagine it's a matter of logic, if they make us set a schedule, I want to think that it will be so that all the people who enter that schedule can be served in the most "Apple" way possible.
If, on the contrary, we all set a schedule and want to have it we show up outside of it, especially before the one we have marked, Cais can be brutal.
Simple question of logistical criteria ;-) !!

I did not intend to create a terrible logistical chaos: p I only said it to download my time slot a bit xD haha
Imagine that all the iPhones they have have been 'sold' under reservation, they will get bored from 8 to 10 !!! Ha ha
I repeat again ... someone knows what they will give us for our old iPhone! in my case a 5 d 16gb
Thank you
I did the simulation on the apple website and it was with all the mobile correct, about € 240.
Today they give a maximum of 160 euros in the Apple Store Passeig de Gracia, and if it has a broken button they go down to 35 euros, if you are not in a hurry, look at the possibility of selling it on your own, I made an article explaining the options, https://www.actualidadiphone.com/2014/09/09/como-donde-y-por-cuanto-vender-tu-viejo-iphone/
One question, does anyone know how they manage portability between telephone operators in the Apple Store on Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona?
I ask to know if the conditions are the same as doing the portability in the operator's store or if there is any advantage to doing it in the Apple Store.
The only advantage is that the guarantee is processed by the Apple Store directly, while if you do it in the company they process it and take longer and it is less advantageous as a user.
You just have to request the portability and in 48 hours they have it done so it is quite fast and without complications.
I have reserved 2 iPhones, a plus, and the normal one, one for 7 o'clock, the other for 10 o'clock on Friday afternoon, the problem is that the color is silver, and I thought that the silver was black in front ,,, with what I have the 2 reserved iphones in gray (in the end I will keep the 6 since the plus I see it very large)
Is it possible when arriving at the store, that they change it for the space gray? If I am going to book another I see that they have all been sold out, so I cannot reserve another one… .and the machinist's shop is closed today, so I cannot consult… neither by mail, and if I call customer service at appstore (the one on the apple website) tell me that these reservations are managed by the store itself where it has been reserved… I have had all the black iPhones, and I think this one is very nice in black also compared to the white front….
Where do you have them reserved?….
In the Passeig de Gracia (Barcelona) there is nothing available, so I don't think they can do anything ...
Thank you for your answer, in the end I will leave a trusted friend to stand in line with me and I will give him a reward for the cause, so everyone is happy …….
Everything is sold out in the Apple Store in Marbella, who can give me the reservation of the 6 plus 64?…. for not queuing I would buy it ...
Well, I have taken the 6 plus in silver and now I don't know if I would have liked it more in gold, when I booked they were all available, I bought this without seeing it live ... I don't know for sure but I bet they don't allow changes to be made As a model to the people who have booked… .maybe I'm wrong! But with not buying and waiting a few days more… .I have it clear if I prefer another color live or I see it very big I wait, with what they are worth….
Thanks for the info Alexis, if you give me that I am satisfied ...
The portabilities have the same conditions as in any store of the operator to which it is carried
Well since I live in a town, I have called and the lists are very small, they guarantee me that if the iPhones arrive tomorrow, that in principle it would have to be like this ... I will have one, since I have booked it in 4 movistar stores, at part of the 2 in passeig de gracia, and one in zaragoza… anyway ,,, iphones for everyone !!!
Let's see what really happens tomorrow ...
HELP TO!! I'm going to turn off the iPhone tocateja (I have it reserved), present ID and that's it? Or also confirmation email? Explain me a little
If you have confirmation, your ID is enough.
regards
As Carmen says, the ID is enough. To bad, if you have the email on your mobile you can always show it.
By the way, hello Carmen !!
Ok I just lost the email deleting it by mistake ... I hope it is not necessary because if not bye, reserve ... I am right now that I do not believe it and with a pissed off ... I hope that with the apple ID and the DNI it is worth ... please someone say that nothing happens ... if it is true that if your account is hacked or someone deletes your email from another site it should be worth something else because if that happens what would you do?
I wait for answers! Thanks.
Quiet Afm, they have your reservation registered in the system, there are no problems, you'll see.
All the best !
I do not know if it happened to someone else, today they called me and I could not get it from a phone that, seeing where it is from, points me to the Puerta del Sol in Madrid… .Just the Apple store where I have reserved my iPhone !! !! ... They won't be called to cancel or something "like", right? ... Has it happened to someone else?
Thank you!!!
I do not know anyone who has canceled a reservation, it is quite the opposite, there are terminals that are being released thanks to the fact that the anxious who reserved two terminals have called to release one of them since they were not going to make it.
I suppose it is a variable that those who wait in the queue have, I at least have one of each reserved, we'll see if 6 or 6 Plus falls, so the other one is free….
Picked up in Barcelona, Pg. De Gracia, without problems. Not a ten minute wait. nor DNI, with the name has been enough. Great organization, and now to enjoy the machine !!!!
I also picked it up on Friday at 15:00 p.m., in 20 minutes I already left with the little one in black. Now I'm fiddling with the one that hadn't touched one since the first iPhone.
