They don't ask for your work hours anywhere in the form which is why I don't know why it's relevant. But he definitely said there was a minimum. It's possible they find it out from your tax forms? I'm confused by this too.
I was thinking about getting one of my parents to sign up on my behalf but I really don't need this phone enough to mess with all that.
So hoped for jet black plus for pick up tomorrow! DREAMER! However Leeds store has all black models and sizes for pick up tomorrow!
Can I pay for an instore pickup but switch onto AUP or apple payments when I go to collect? (i.e. getting a refund in the process?)
You were absolutely right! Just bagged myself a 7 plus 128 for pickup at bentalls tomorrow. No more waiting until 5-11 October!!
Black plus in all sizes in Belfast for pick up tomorrow. No JB.
I will not turn to the "matte side" no matter how much stare at the available to pick up tomorrow line!
That's a pretty sensible decision. It's very easy to jump onto the bandwagon for a phone but if you did get one in your name and you did have an issue and missed a payment or two it would severely hamper your future credit needs. You might struggle getting a car loan, credit cards and mortgages in the future.
It's good in a sense apple are being firm about who they lend to and not being irrisponsible.
It might not be the news people want to hear but it's just a phone
Long time lurker, first time poster...
Huge thank you to the chap who predicted the rush at 10pm, just managed to bag myself a black 32gb plus from Liverpool One pickup tomorrow!

Meh no JBs
Exactly how I feel... getting frustrated with this now... see the US guys are getting JBs no bother
Which is why I won't be getting a phone. I do not have the money. That's just the reality of the situation. IUP was the only way I was getting one.
Oh well, my 6 Plus is fine and next years is gonna be the big one. I'll have to save up for it or take out a 2 year contract with a network, something I'm guaranteed to be accepted for cause they're somehow totally different kinds of credit checks. Or at least more tolerant.
If you pay for it in full online and pick up tomorrow, you can then get a full refund in store and re-purchase using another method, ie upgrade program.
Weirdly rejected too. I became slightly concerned over my credit score but all seems ok on the Clearscore app. A friend of friend was in the Apple Store late on launch day and the Specialist said he was the first person she had served that was accepted!
Apps are cancelled and deleted go into App Store have signed out and switched device on and off but yet still shows downloading progress. Looks like I'm gonna have to start again.

Thank you guys for the tip, cancelled my mid October delivery, reserved one for pickup tomorrow, 256GB black 7+, most stores right now have this configuration in stock, it is ridiculous that if I hadn't done that I would have to wait until the 12th-18th of October, it's not fair that apple are not honouring pre orderers
This isn't Apple's doing. They've employed Barclays to provide their loan services and Experian are doing the checks. It's just the new laws about responsible lending. Banks can get into a lot of trouble for giving out loans to people who clearly can't afford it.
Like you say, it's for my protection as much as I might not like it.
