can anyone tell me i have a gold plus which i bought on saturday and am giving it back today as i have managed to reserve a black one of the exact same model - will they do a straight swap - or refund and then i buy the other one? just need to make sure i have enough funds in my account. thank you :)

Yep I done the exact same thing with my gold plus. Like someone else said all they do is temporarily transfer the £819 (assuming its a 128GB model) onto a gift card and then just swipe it against the black one, all very quick and hassle free. I did mine in Basingstoke last night and she was even surprised it was still sealed. Didn't even need the receipt, though I had it just incase.

I modified the script to suit the phone im looking and pasted in my Pushbullet API but every time I try to run the script, it says SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Do you know what the problem is?
Thanks

Not much worse than the screen can get if not wiped regularly. As a make up wearing lass I often need to wipe my screen after a call (which sounds disgusting now I type it but it does even though I wear quite light foundation.)



I was going to iUP but as could only get a 256gb on reservation I opted for the iPP without the Apple Care and lower monthly payments (got insurance through my bank so only potential benefit was the £25 screen replacement). I figure that in September 2017 I'll have around 8 payments left totalling £348 and I would hope that a 7+ 256gb is worth at least £100 more than that on trade in (if in the likely case I decide to upgrade to the 8). Or maybe it will be 9 payments and my plan is not so good !!!!

I didn't think of that when considering the IUP. So if I accidentally scratch the casing or put a big dent in the phone, Apple will still take it back when I get the new phone next year? I'm still weighing up my options, but that has definitely swayed me if true....
 
Argh, one's just shown up in Exeter. I'm there tomorrow for work but can't reservation would only be valid for today.

Every time I see this thread, I get more and more anxious as nothing is happening to my JB7+ 256gb with the delivery date 26/9 - 3/10

...not being funny but you're unlikely to see a change in your order until the day before it gets dispatched - so in your case, 26th Sept!

My order (20-22nd), was stuck on "Preparing for Dispatch" until the 20th, whereby it then changed to "Dispatched"!!

:p
 
What's the theory as to why only Black plusses are coming into stock? It's the most popular along with JB, so I'd expect there to be a ton of unwanted Silver and Golds?

There were a lot (well, by comparison to none!) of gold and rose gold Pluses intermittently appearing in the run-up to launch day. Maybe these are the late black stock that should have been available back then?
 
Just managed to reserve a 128gb black plus for pick up at Liverpool One. Is anyone going for the upgrade programme? Is it worth it?
 
Anyone used someone else's reservation?

Basically long story short I ended up reserving a phone using my wife apple id - will I be able to take the upgrade program out? I assume she will have to come with me which is fair enough but will they be funny if the phone isn't for her? I always just buy it outright but I'd rather do the program?

Thanks

I think you can assess its worth by answering three questions:
  • Would you buy AppleCare+ anyway?
  • Do you value having an easy way to get rid of your current phone next year, or do you not mind (or even prefer) selling it privately?
  • Would you benefit from paying monthly?
If the answer is no to those, the upgrade programme probably isn't worth it.

Otherwise, it probably is worth it! :)

Mucho frustration! Looking at the app every two minutes to see if there's been a change really isn't helping!
Quite difficult to remain patient when all around are receiving theirs and/or getting changes to the delivery dates and shipping notifications.
Click to expand...
Mine kept saying Processing up until today when it changed to PFD, and its delivery window is 20-22...
So I wouldn't worry too much (i7 Black, 32)
