When the X launches, how do I order a X and join the IUP in the UK?
Do I just book a time for in-store pickup and do a credit check in-store or do I need to fill in an approval form at the time of pre-order online?
 
I’m looking at this option too and want to know for sure.

My understanding is you order online and it gives you a time to collect and you then do the program in store. In terms of doing the approval form that i don’t know. Surely if you do it on the morning of pre order you will miss the chance to get one as they will sell out quick.

To be honest, I didn’t pre order when I signed up for the program this year. So not sure if you get an option to choose IUP while trying to checkout.

I just walked in to the nearest store, told the guy that I wanna sign up and buy an iPhone 8 plus. He got it done in 5 mins. Sorted.
 
I think I book an appointment for in-store but that leaves you at the mercy of how many your store gets in stock which is never as many on-line so I’ll prepare myself for not t getting one until 2018.

That’s exactly what I thought. I just couldn’t be bothered to wait around for months. By then the next generation of iPhone will be in the horizon. Very happy with my 8 plus for this year.

So even though you’re booked the phone for collection there’s a chance you won’t get it..that has me concerned

Going to order with EE as well but hard to fiqure out which of try and order First
 
I pre-ordered the 8+ on the iUP.

when pre-ordering you choose the iUP when selecting the model you want and then instead of taking you to the payment page it takes you to a store selection page where you choose when and where you want to reserve a slot to pickup.

Credit check etc is all done in store.
