So nobody seems to have stock for 64gb i'6's. Does anyone know where there might be stock at a decent price?, or when Core thinks they'll get stock again?

I got a space grey 64GB yesterday from istoreonline and I see the space grey 16GB is available once again.

Just monitor the site they seem to become available for a short period time.
 
What the availability of the iphone 6 64gb? My gf wants one. istore seems the cheapest (want it prepaid). Any other places I should be aware of? Places like takealot and kalahari are too expensive
 
Does anyone know anything about 64GB iPhones in the istore? Last I checked (yesterday) there was no stock. Telkom Mobile uses store stock for their contracts and just waiting for stock to arrive. Anyone heard anything?
 
Core call center just confirmed that they are expecting 64GB iPhone 6 stock to be in stores before the end of the week. The stores however have a waiting list so it is advisable to get your name on the list asap.
 
Here follows the telling of some personal experiences, also known as ranting.

I've registered online at myistore now, wish I did that long ago. However, I pre-register with MTN within 2 hours of them opening up pre-registrations, haven't heard a peep since. Vodacom did actually call me, but it seems I managed to pre-register for completely the wrong colour and size, so the call ended with me having to wait for the next round of stock.

I went to each Vodacom we walked past in three different malls and they all have the same response: "Errm, umm... No we don't keep the 64 and 128GB iPhones here because of the robberies. We need to order it for you which takes a few days. Oh, we don't know if the warehouse actually has stock, so...". So no Vodacom can give any sort of time estimate and none of them offered a waiting list. I fully understand that they don't want to keep stock now, except that the 16GB isn't that much cheaper and they do keep that. I don't want to beg for a waiting list, we did that last year for my wife and we got a really strong vibe from many of the MTN guys that they really just write your name on some random piece of paper to make you go away. Each of them use a different piece, so you immediately know that nobody is going to go through all those lists later on. At some point we also got the idea that they are purposely holding stock for friends and family (or maybe for money, never actually thought about bribing them).

Then I decided to try the iStore in Canal Walk. First time I ever had a reason to enter an iStore. The woman who helped me also could not give me a time estimate, but did offer to take my name and number and was far more responsive, friendly and knowledgeable than anyone we spoke to at network stores before that. So with that and the online registration, I'm just patiently hoping to get in on one of the batches soon.

It would really be great if there was a lot more transparency about when stock arrives and how many people are in the queue before you, but they probably have reasons why this is not very public info.
 
Wow... my old man had similar experiences... he kept getting "Yes you can get 1, if you take a contract", and that would be the 16GB Iphone 6. I just placed an order with the FNB Smart Device setup... so lets see how long that takes ;-)
 
Anyone got any news on stock? I've been to all the istores in Cape Town, some of which have put me onto a "list" (I hope its not the same one I got put on last year for the iPad Air...still waiting for them to let me know that stock has arrived), others of which say no list exists and one that wrote my name on a scrap piece of paper.

Anyone?
 
The Vodacom store in CT where I have placed an order at claims they should get it early this week. Apparently they don't hold stock in store anymore because of all the robberies. They only order on requirement.
 
Lol it seesm that the 64gb Grey is an endangered specie at this moment.

I am still waiting for my 6+ grey 64gb.
The stock will come again and hopefully we are all that list :)

Keep the faith
 
I also need to have my 64Gb space grey replaced due to some dead pixels but they just don't have any stock.
 
No Iphone 6's at Incredible Connection or Istore in Cavendish this morning...
 
According to FNB, stock of the iPhone 6 64GB space grey is expected within 2 weeks. Good times...
 
Got a sms from FNB just to state they dont have stock and we will have to wait.
