Once you have made a reservation your iPhone is secured, assuming you turn up at your allocated time to pick it up.

The lack of carrier updates is winding me right up. Especially as they know that most people in the U.K. are pretty busy at 8am. How the hell are you supposed to make a reasoned decision? I still haven't been refunded for Vodafone's cock up last year.
Went in to update my payment info, noticed I can't. Gonna have to be reallllllly quick during checkout now!
Damn, I did my check the day it was announced to be prepared, good luck
. I went as far as even putting my option of the iPhone I want in "favorite" to make the process a lot quicker 
Expect the forums to crash between 0801 - 0810. I've lost count of how many times I've done this.
Im in a similar boat as you. I'm pre-ordering from Apple and just getting a SIM only deal from EE (£20 a month for 8gb of data and unlimited calls and texts).
Apple website now just shows the "Coming Soon - Check Back Later" splash page!

You never know!!!
I have their page open on my PC and app ready on my phone!
Not that I ever use it but does anyone else think it's a total joke that the carriers don't release any info at all until the last minute?
The cynic in me says it's because they want people to panic buy and sign up to whatever rip off contracts they offer.
The realist says that they've probably found out the pricing on Wednesday evening to prevent leaks so perhaps they need time to prepare the tariffs.

For all of this hype about hammering refresh and 'getting in there early', do you guys really and actually believe this very underwhelming iPhone will sell out at pre order? Of course not.
Even Apple aren't going to bother announcing preorder sales figures because they know.

I updated all my details last night. I don't know if I want delivery or in store pick up. I need to be somewhere at 9 am but will be free after that. I think I'll Just make an order for both options and decide nearer Friday what to do.
Well I hope that means I secure my iPhone for launch day then lol it's a better upgrade than the 6S was from the 6. That one didn't sell out until the afternoon. It depends on stock levels and demand. The 128GB will be in higher demand this year as it's the middle tier and there is no 64GB.
I'm seriously considering doing the same. I'm happy with my now rolling contract with 02. Since the plus models came out they have never had a happy medium in terms of deposit and monthly bills, and unless they add more options this year then it's going to be worse with the price increase for the plus models.
If I remember correctly, when iPhone 6 was released, all pre-orders that wanted it by launch day was done in 1hr? (correct me if I am wrong), this was the 64GB iPhone 6plus.
