Assume you can use ApplePay and there is no limit if you're buying in the apple
Store?
If you order for in store pick-up then your card will be charged Teusday / Wednesday so all paid for when your collect your device if its collection Friday.
If you are using the reserve for the AUP (Apple Upgrade Prigram) then you pay when you arrive at store and setup the program.
I though that too. Spoke to apple yesterday and they confirmed that payment will be taken from card Tuesday / Wednesday before dispatch for then delivery to store on for collection Friday.
I checked on the off chance this morning. There were 3 X iPhone 7 32gbs black left because I added 2 on my Apple ID and 1 on hubby's and checked out. I then cancelled the 1 on hubby's after realising I couldn't cancel just 1 of mine I would need to cancel both. Ideally wanted 1 on each of our Apple ids but was frightened that if I cancelled my 2 that it would have been snapped up before I got chance to order the one. Looks like I did the right thing.
Delivery to store? I'm confused. In that case why did I have to choose Watford and not Milton Keynes then. I thought I was just ordering the allocated stock? I assume someon had cancelled so I grabbed their order.
I tried Watford for pickup but they were unavailable, must have been too late. It was like 8:11.
So there are still reservations left for the 256gb plus in gold and rose gold for launch day pick up at my local apple stores. However it's going through the iPhone upgrade reservation link, which I'm not wanting to do. I'm wanting to pay outright. I really want the black but I currently do not have a phone at all as I sold my 6s plus yesterday. I do have a black (matte) one on pre order with a 27-29th deliver window.
Do you think they will allow me to just pay outright for the phone instead when in store? Surely a sale is a sale?
Also as a side thought, there will be people who do not pass the credit check for the phones on the Apple upgrade program (its Barclays who are ****s when it comes to passing credit checks) will this stock be released to walk ins do you think??

Last year when I reserved for pickup I paid in store, however there are no limits on Apple Pay in apple stores. I paid for my 6s plus using my Apple Watch in store last year with no issues at all.
Ah that's why...
I tried to get a iPhone 7 Plus 32GB Black, which I don't think they even stocked.
On a different note how come you can't reserve the watches for pickup in store. It only lets you order online for delivery October now. It's says the watches will be available in some stores from 16th
No idea on that specific case, but I'm not a huge fan of cases that are made with TPU plastic as it's soft and similar to silicone cases.
I bought this one

There's a discount code somewhere in this thread, I got £3 off.

I'm slightly confused. Are there two types of reservations? One to join the upgrade programme and one for reserve and pay in full?
How do I check stock levels for both? I can only seem to find the upgrade stock/store checker page.
Thanks.

I reserved a series 1 for Friday. Not sure if series 2 was available at that time for reservation or not.
Yes there are two types of reservation however they are just two different ways of buying stock allocated to a specific store. There are not different stock levels, although one method you pay up front you aren't buying a phone that will be delivered to store for specially for you, you are buying a phone they will already be getting.
Don't Three unlock for free? Stick in one of their Sims first and unlock it?
I've actually got an official leather one coming next week. I'm not exactly happy with paying £49 for it but I had the equivalent case on my 6 and 6S and liked it.
I've bought a cheap unofficial one to see what a clear case looks like with the jet black iPhone. If it's good I'll return the Apple case.

Thank you. How do I reserve a device that the store is already getting as supposed to ordering, paying up front and having it delivered to store?
