How to buy an iPhone 6s from the Apple Store: Has the iPhone 6s sold out?

If you want to head into an Apple Store to buy your iPhone 6s, you can certainly expect to see queues and it's possible that the particular model you're after will be sold out, especially if you're visiting one of Apple's more popular stores.

If you want to buy your iPhone 6s on contract rather than from Apple directly, you an expect to find them in retail branches of EE, O2, Three, Virgin and Vodafone.

From Saturday 26 September, you'll be able to reserve your iPhone to pick up in store, and Apple says that most stores will have the iPhone available for walk-in customers every day, so we expect regular deliveries are planned.

iPhone 6s & 6s Plus: Is the iPhone 6s waterproof?

Reports are suggesting the new iPhone 6s is waterproof. This is based on iFixit’s tear down of the new iPhone. iFixIt claims that it found an adhesive running around the edge of the iPhone along with silicon seals on the connectors inside the iPhone. This could serve to protect the iPhone from water damage. However, Apple is not claiming that the iPhone is waterproof, so we don’t suggest that you take any risks. The company famously has a water indicator inside the iPhone that show if the iPhone has had water damage when you take it in for repair.
