So I've managed to reserve a Gold 7+ 256GB on the Apple Upgrade Program this morning! I'm so happy!

As people have mentioned, I checked reservations at 6am this morning and they had Gold +'s available at my local store for Friday pick up! Think I've been lucky there!☺️
 
I got a dispatch notification this morning... of the leather case I ordered about 7 hours ago haha they processed that surprisingly fast. I was able to get 10% discount via the education store.

My phone is preparing for dispatch
 
£4.99 is a price often used on the App Store for high profile, big brand apps. Nobody should expect Mario to be cheaper than this.

Exactly. And this is Nintendo we're talking about. They know the value of their brand and IPs and that people will pay for the game, even at a typically higher price. I'm thinking it'll be £4.99 also but it wouldn't surprise me if it was somewhere around the £10 mark.

I'm having a nightmare with trying to get my Apple Watch payment to go through with Apple/Halifax! Called Halifax twice last night, once this morning (They've been lovely but still have the problem!) and currently in the queue to Apple on the phone!

I'm having the same issue. Let me know if you sort it and what the problem was.

Edit: Just seen that Apple Pay was your issue. Called them up and explained this and my order is now sorted. Thank you :D

Has anyone bought an apple case for the 7/7+ on online store for delivery? Mine has said delivery 13th-15th since Friday and has been preparing for dispatch ever since but still not been sent or charged :-(

Just wondering if anyone else's has been dispatched yet?
Mine is out for delivery today. Pink sand silicone case for 7+ and matching watch strap.
 
I've got a fiver that says no one will be seen wandering round with a black 7+ this Friday!

Aye... judging by the gladdy DB, they had none for reserve on iUP from what I can tell whatsoever, and I've not yet seen anyone with a direct apple order that says 'delivers 16th Sept' on a black/JB 7+. Could be a safe £5 bet :D
 
iPhone 7 Plus Black 256GB
Ordered evening of 9 September - email received at 20:47
Delivers: 4 to 10 October

Money still not taken (using my NatWest account) - is this normal or should I phone up my bank/Apple to make sure everything is alright (currently abroad so unable to receive text notifications but I did sign up for email notifications).

Thanks in advance for any help!

They only charge you 2-3 days before it ships, so I wouldn't worry.
 
Oh I'd expect something closer to £4.99

So would I, the branding of these things is how they live, it'll be about £4.99 and unfortunately I expect it to be like some of the sonic games - not as good as the originals

Anyone woke up this morning with a bunch of app updates with ios10 and iphone 7/7+ compatibility? As if we not already excited enough lol

I've had the beta for a few weeks, it's a little different but nothing major, biggest thing in my opinion expect iMessage to get full of Spam now :p - I like it though

Same for me. Still "Processing items".

7+ 128/B here, still the same no movement at all which is dissapointing, What's the point of preordering if people can still pick up phones now yet we have to wait... the only bit that annoys me is this fubar'd upgrade thing, where people who order at 5pm are having their deliveries bumped from 22nd to 16th, where some of us who order before are still stuck :(

I have ordered the same model as you and I have 27th-29th September delivery. Ours might be pushed forward soon.
 
I've ordered the 128gb 7 in black, purchased on Friday morning from the Apple store using debit card. It's showing as 'preparing for despatch' & delivering by the 16th but no money has been taken. Is this normal? Seen that some people had £1 taken?

If you used a debit card, this might be different. Apple will most likely have had a mini transaction on the account but won't charge you until closer to the time as Debit Card pay instantly.
 
I ordered 2 phones as soon as store went live (single order paid via Apple pay):
128GB 7+ Rose Gold - Delivery on Friday, payment taken from debit card (showed this morning)
128GB 7+ Black - showing 20-22 Sept, no payment taken

I separately ordered a black silicone case which has been dispatched and due to arrive on Thursday.

On a related note, I also called Trafford Centre Store last night and was told they were not expecting any stock for walk ins....... thereby confirming what others have bene told directly from Apple online team.

Yes it's normal. You'll be charged either Wednesday or Thursday, with delivery on Friday. Chill.
