Who would be causing the delay? Apple or Halifax? That doesn't seem fair
It was initially Halifax but now Apple
Credit card mate
Have done mate. Will update what's gone on in a minute
The 6S was a tiny bit larger than the 6 due to adding the taptic engine, the 7 is the same size as the 6S.
i see the camera lens is in a slightly different position too... making old 6/6s cases unusable....?
spoke to apple because I didn't recognise the last 4 digits of the card.
However what the live chat person didn't tell me was its perfectly normal to have the "wrong" last 4 digits. because I used Apple Pay.
By the time I found this out it was too late, they had removed that as my payment option and I gave them my credit card directly rather than via Apple Pay.
I have had a £1 hold on the card but nothing else.
So I rang Halifax, who I must say are excellent with their customer service, and the lady confirmed it had been flagged and she has un flagged it. the problem is that apple have removed that payment and are re-trying with the same card but who knows when they will retry.
The most annoying thing was if I had been told that the last 4 digits are always different with Apple Pay it would have been an easy phone call.
So the long and short of it is:
Who knows what will happen now!?! If I was really really lucky it may get put through and go through ok soon. If not he said they will try for payment on the 20th.
I am waiting on live chat again to see if they can"push" the payment through but I am not hopeful....
Interestingly enough when I spoke to the halifax I asked if there was a way of giving them a heads up about a substantial purchase and she said its totally random and automated so theres nothing they can do. Which explains why in April I successfully used my debit card to pay £7000 for a car without an issue. Yet a £819 phone causes all this.
I have said it before but this launch has been such an utter debacle, I actually feel exhausted from all the calls, panicking, logging in and out, so lucky I have had the week off work to deal with it today. Really rubbish launch year this year

It's also much larger on both the 7 and 7 Plus. I don't think 6s cases will work!
I was told last year that I could swap my silver 6S plus for a gold one in the same configuration. I even rang up the store which had the stock and they confirmed that I could. I never did because I had morning sickness and couldn't get down to the store.
Can't he call you and have you direct him?
I once had a UK mail driver who couldn't find my place and he called and I was able to direct him to my place.
Here's a snippet I posted a while back: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/order-thread-for-uk-bst.1864168/page-446#post-21171219
Wonder if the orders will get dispatched by end of today?Finally I've got a preparing for dispatch
Have spoke to DPD said he might get to me later I explained have cctv and can check what time he drove down street they changed story now claim had urgent collection . Looks like will have to go depot tomorrow now
Mine never even went from processing, a little miffed... 8:05 confirmation and no movement at all. Apple advisor said everything appears fine and no payment issues but still not even seen a pending payment.
If it makes you feel any better. I have had the chance of despatched ripped from my hands due to various issues
I'm waiting on an Iphone 7 + Black 128gb.
Just had an email from Apple saying my payment was declined, Llyods said they didn't know why but could see it on my system.
I've since changed payment method, but never had this happen before.
Anyone know if this may delay delivery? I changed my details within an hour of the email.

My 7 Plus Jet Black 256GB has been dispatched - Interestingly enough I've a UPS tracking number, so it's coming directly from the factory in China as opposed to coming in via Ireland (as all the past iPhones I've had come in).

My payment was blocked by Halifax for fraud prevention on Friday last week. I was regularly checking my order status and that's how I found out. I got it authorised by Halifax and then the payment went through straight away. My status changed to preparing to dispatch about 4-5 hours later and I still got my phone today.
I don't know what is up with the banks this year. They seem over zealous.
