I'd say, likely tomorrow, they need time to make all the adverts/advertising for Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc

Todays event was announced a week ago, it’s not like EE were not made aware it was coming.

even on the Apple UK website EE is listed.
possibly they are still trying to shift the last few Series 5 watches they still have.

That's possible, I mean, Apple themselves are still trying to shift left over stock from the Series 3, I highly doubt they make them NEW anymore.

I’ve just purchased a series 6 through Apple, any ideas how I can add a data plan for it or would I need to phone up?

TIA

Apple release very little information to the networks in advance. The launch is often the first most of the staff will know the specifics. If everyone knew in advance then it would be leaked even more than the planned leaks that happen already.

If it’s a cellular version, when you pair with your phone it will prompt you to add a network provider. In this case EE. a small window will pop up and ask you to verify you want to pay £7 a month (3 months unltd data then 10Gb thereafter) etc. Then it will give you the option to add to plan. Once that’s done it should take a few mins to activate. When the phone updates and says ready for cellular - your in business. If you’ve already got a Apple Watch contract with EE, you will need to ring support and give them the EEID and serial etc of the Apple Watch you’ve bought so they can issue a new E-Sim for your new Apple Watch continuing on your existing contract.

hope that helps! Looking forward to getting my Midight Blue watch and hopefully fingers crossed a matching midnight Blue iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G when it’s released.

Better be doing those midnight blue and Product Red colours! Gf was Disappointed last year when they didn’t have the 40mm Nike+ and I was disappointed they didn’t have the Stainless steel like previous years. Apparently not as popular as the aluminium 44mm. Weird.

Right ok yeah it is cellular but my current one isn’t that’s why I was confused! Thankyou! I really like the blue but I’m too colour coordinated to got the black cause it goes with everything😂

I’m hoping the iPhone comes in blue too, I love it on the iPad!

Ah I see! Yeah it’s pretty straightforward as is most things with apple.
yeah, I have to admit I’ve sat here since 7pm, thinking do I really want to upgrade my 11” iPad Pro to a new one just for the blue..... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. Still debating it..... 🤣🤣🤣

I am going for the red cellular watch and when the new I-Phone comes out red IPhone pro max, all exciting!,

If EE do not have them in red, then I will have to order from Apple, we shall see tomorrow, hopefully they do.

I’m very interested in the SE be interested how they price it, as the series 3 will still be sold

When you setup the watch you will have the option to add on a monthly rolling contract for the data then via your MYEE account. 👍

I can select the series 6 now to upgrade online but its sending the security pin to the watches number which isn't coming through!

Hi @Robinsonboy1,

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues upgrading online.

Were you upgrading to a personal or family member plan?

Thanks

James

Re: Apple Watch Series 6 announced

Robinsonboy1 — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 07:42:32 GMT

It was a personal one. I have since spoken to someone on the phone, supposedly you can't upgrade watches online as the pin goes to the watch number, which doesn't come through.

Anyways, it now ordered, he said it was guaranteed on launch day but then followed that up with it will be dispatched as and when EE receive the stock. I'm not desperate though, so it will come when it comes. 🙂

Glad you got it sorted @Robinsonboy1

Thanks 🙂

@James_B , I had a very helpful lady called Cara, who sorted out my order upgrade and also changed my phone contract to a sim only until the new Apple 12 Max pro I-Phone is available. I have chosen the red Apple Watch 6, did not have to wait long for someone to answer my call. I too had tried to upgrade online, but got cancelled, as was not an upgrade but a new contract for the watch, which I did not want, so something was definitely amiss this morning, hopefully others will be able to upgrade online rather than go to a store or ring customer service.
