And he'll be here again next year, won't you @sparkie1984 !?
Oh yes!
Currently in an industrial estate in sunny Luton. iPad ready, iPhone ready
It will also be that that they do not want their competitors know what the tariffs will be, in case they under cut them.
I don't think upgrade program will have a major impact this year as it is new and generally people will not know about it or how it works... also a lot of people are just used to ordering direct.
I think it will become more of an issue going forward though
Who would have thought spending so much cash in one go would have become such a social event?
A couple of years ago 3 didn't reveal their prices until the afternoon when every other Netowrk sold out. Back then 3 had the best deals on iPhones and everyone expected them to still have the best deals, they bumped their prices up massively so those waiting for them to allow pre-orders were left with no option but to wait until after the launch for them to come back in stock or pay 3's prices.
Lol I was in sunny Corfu last year with Rubbish internet. Now u I am indeed in my gloomy living room. Lol
But those people can't drive to an Apple Store and get their phone repaired/replaced on the spot for £25/£79 can they?
It'll get sent off to some sweatshop in Bradford and come back a good 10 days (if you're lucky) later.
Couple that with the fact that the next time you have a warranty issue, Apple may refuse to repair/replace free of charge due to "3rd party parts being fitted" and Applecare + is a no brainier (IMO).
10 minutes for me, the rest of you can try in 15 mins
I think ill try in 8 minutes
.....and once again I make the yearly pilgrimage to this forum and a thread not unlike last years and the year before it.

Think I need every saint going! At 8.01 I shall be driving to school, listening to my daughter read because the little beggar refused to do it last night, and frantically refreshing Vodafone and cursing them. Aargh!Hopefully Saint Francis will be looking down on us this morning
Insurance repair jobs are usually done by authorised Apple repair personnel. Also they never fit 3rd party parts, you always get genuine parts. It's all down to warranty issues that you describe.
You make a point about the easiness of Apple care though.
Morning everyone! Hope we're all ready for when Apple's pre orders go live in 5 mins. Lucky people who are going through their carrier can already pre order.
