Yeah, I'm doing it too. Going to pick my phone up later tonight. It's actually a pretty good deal if you want a new iPhone every year and can't afford to shed out so much all at once.
Got a tip for us?

I thought you had to make a down-payment of £49 too??
Just left white city Apple Store after picking up 7+ on the IUP. Couple of things thought I'd share.
Whole process took about 30 minutes including queue time
You must have a passport, driving license or provisional license (there is a bit where they
need to input the number from the above into the system) so a staff iD or student card won't cut it. I used provisional by the way.
They will hold your reservation up until 5pm doesn't matter if your reservation was earlier then that.
You must have been in the UK for at least 3 years or it won't process.
I saw a few people fail the check
Hope this helps someone

What happens if your reservation is after 5PM?
I'm a little worried about the credit check as I'm an unemployed student living on a student loan. But an employee in the store said there shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for this, is there any upfront payment to be made? And do you know if they use Paypal financing or Barclays?
Perhaps items marked UNLOCKED are ones that are allocated to the IUP, hence unobtainable via reserve and collect in-store?

Looking at your signature, you've spent that loan well
Is there a guide to setting up pushbullet to alert you from istocknow? I'm on a Mac/iPhone (naturally).
Thanks a ton!

Barclays, the whole thing is done on an iphone and there are about 3 pages of Barclays terms and conditions you have to agree to.

Shoot the messenger not! You should be fine, the people who failed it seemed to have issues with the 3 year address part.

Hello there will my provisional licence be enough for ID - Or do I need that AND my passport? The website is a bit unclear
So a few (7 plus) popped up late yesterday evening ? This year's reservation system is bizarre, pretty sure once it got past 6pm in previous years that was it in terms of reservations for the day.

Ahaha, BUSTED! Naa, I've not even got the loan yet. I'm starting university next week, I was employed full time for the past two years but quit because I hated it and because I'm going uni. Haven't bought anything new for a while. My student loan is going to keep me ALIVE for the next year, not wasted!
[doublepost=1474475507][/doublepost]
Oh yeah no, I won't have a problem with that part. I've been here since the day I was born!
[doublepost=1474475541][/doublepost]
I have a debit card on my Apple ID account, yes.
Just wondering whether I should take my letter from the Student Loans Company if they have any question over my ability to pay for IUP.

Congrats!I too am on a train with my 128gb Black +.
If you just 'Pause' and unpause a few or all of them, this seems to 'restart' the server connection and get things moving again.
