I have the first gen and I see no reason to upgrade for the new ones, a pass for me this upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

Yep. (Sorry bank account).
Will order the iPhone 7 Plus first followed by the Apple Watch Series 2 as there are far more models that there's a good chance they'll still have what I want.
I might go for the watch instead. Don't think I can justify the £400 the 7+ would cost me after sale of 6s+.
Was a tough decision but I'm going to buy an iPhone 7 128gb Black at £699. Was really torn for the 7+ but it's a bit too expensive.
I'm planning on getting 2 phones, 1 via iPhone upgrade program and one outright. You think I will be able to do this on the same order?
so here we go again... hasn't the last year flown by?!
I promised myself I wouldn't be back this year given what was expected form this years launch... but here i am..
i've also tried the 6+ and then 6s+ in the last two years only to return them as I couldn't get use to the size... guess what I'm tempted to go for this year!

DO IT, I'm beating my demon this year and making myself adapt to the plus
I hope the apple gods are smiling down on me tomorrow morning in whatever lay-by I am parked in trying to checkout!
So what you all doing? Ordering for delivery or store pickup?
I've always done delivery but this year I'm going to reserve to collect next Friday.
What's it like doing it this way for the people who have done it in the past?
Can I just go as soon as the shop opens, or do I get an allocated time?

Apple kept the same pricing as last year, so in a GBP silo the prices have not fluctuated at all. Absolutely nothing to do with brexit unless you are planning on converting your pounds to euros and then back to pounds before buying.
I wouldn't be here unless I hadn't already talked myself around to it! ah well, have a good week or two to try and get use to it... Had decided that going without a case would help handling the size etc but reading the small print on the jet black make me worry the phone will look a mess in no time!
going to be one hell of a Friday tomorrow, picking up my new car too
I am actually. Held off on ordering the watch last year.
I'm really torn between the two blacks on the phone though.,
Yes! That is exactly how I talked myself into as well, no case well if so then a super thing gel case thing crappy off ebay
Yes me!
I wouldn't have, but they only had to go and bloody make it waterproof. I am an avid swimmer so I have never been able to take the activity tracking seriously as it doesn't record my number one workout.
I couldn't pass up on this.
I've been using the iPhone 6S Plus for the last year and I'm thinking of moving back to the regular. Way too big unless I'm using my phone in bed haha.
You get an allocated time. Obviously if you do it at 0801 you'll be able to choose the earliest pickup time which I think is 0800-0815. Get there 10 or so minutes before.
Yup, iPhone and Watch being ordered here.
Any thoughts on whether to order as one or separate?
This is the link I am gonna be using tomorrow morning :

As you can see, the "Continue" button is not clickable but I uses that will change at 8:01am tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I don't get in to the office until around 8:30am so won't have a chance to put in my pre-order until I get in, in front of my pc. Don't wanna chance putting in my order on my iPhone 6 as I will be selecting the PayPal Credit Agreement option (which I doubt you can do via the Apple Store app anyway). I just gotta hope there will be stock left at around 8:30ish!!!!!
The pound has weakened against most currencies, the $ mostly so. When the pound fell it fell to it's lowest level against the $ for over 30 years, currently the pound is nowhere near the level at was against the $ before the Brexit vote. This is partly why there is a huge increase in price in iPhones and other Apple items. Just because we voted to leave the EU it doesn't mean our currencies only dropped against the Euro, it dropped against many currencies (Japan even suspended trading against British companies in case investors from Japan invested in British companies that continued to fall in value because of the falling rate in the pound).
The price rise the UK is seeing is very much to do with Brexit, that is why other countries are not seeing an increase to scale as the UK is.
so rationale for trying the + size again this year is mainly based on the rumours that next years release will be the big redesign we all really actually want.
I'm assuming
1) the bigger of next years phone will have a killer feature that won't be on its smaller sibling.
2) if they do go bezel free and shrink the casing and keep the big screen, a year with this years + size might get me desperate to get back to a more manageable size!
