That sounds pretty awful. Are you buying on contract or outright?

I bought it on contract i've been in touch with them about 10 times since yesterday and someone said today that i may get it dispatched today but i'm skeptical

Im off to NY in 2 weeks for my honeymoon and the chances are looking better for me to be able to pick up a 256GB+ while I'm there. I want to put an O2 sim card in, is there a certain device that i should be looking for? And do they sell unlocked devices?

You should look for an unlocked GSM device when in the US

Thinking of returning my 7+, I also bought an Apple leather case, will they accept that back for refund too even though I've used it for a few days?

So following my dissapointing day. Will my failed attempt at getting the 7+ on the Upgrade program, effect my current order (Processing items Due 14th October) through the barclays finance option?

So when i come back to the UK my O2 sim card will work, yes?

Yes, it should do as long as its unlocked.

What information did they ask you (income, employment details?) or why do you think it was rejected? I'm worried mine could be rejected too :/

Ordered a 7+ JB 128GB at 08:06 with a date of 4th to 10th Oct. Now moved to PFD
Is there an average for this stage of the process??

 

[charlienicholas]

Yes, it should do as long as its unlocked.

Thanks Anthony, I'm looking online and all i can see is carrier iPhones listed. Hopefully they sell unlock ones also?

My JB plus 128 was confirmed at 08:06 -- gone to PFD at some point this afternoon.

My delivery status has just been updated to "Appointment Request". What does this means exactly? I don't believe I've ever seen a delivery status with that label. I've got another 5 days until delivery.

I have my 256gb iphone 7 plus and apple watch which are ''merging in transit'' if it matters.

Thanks!

What information did they ask you (income, employment details?) or why do you think it was rejected? I'm worried mine could be rejected too :/

Income Per annum, Employment, Housing status. No idea why it was rejected, as my order to be shipped to my home address got accepted

 

[Jinjin]

This is positive! Still processing here but looks like they'll start moving soon

They ask for employer and annual salary.

If you got the reservation code/QR code the reservation is there and confirmed. Check your spam box for the email, everyone's iReserve confirmation seems to go straight into spam. But you really do no need the email.

Also, if you download and log in to the Apple Store app it'll be there too, QR code and all.

Awesome - thanks for your help!

'Could' see delivery this time next week at this rate!

CPW order finally arrived. 128gb plus. Hooray. Was due 21st October.....

I believe if you choose an ATT Model or TMobile model they're GSM Unlocked because they use a sim card whereas Verizon is CDMA meaning the phone doesn't require a sim card. Im sure an apple employee there will be able to help if Ive got something wrong. I once bought an iPad in the US and was advised which would work in the UK and which wouldn't.

They had the Black 7 Plus 128GB in stock in Edinburgh this morning for the upgrade programme. Just need to keep trying.

 

[Aneres11]

Eyes down for 10pm then.

for those who have gone into PFD, has your card already been charged?

 

[Brookzy]

Still processing too on my 128GB JB Plus. I assume it's the 08:06 people who are now PFD and will get theirs early while later orders still in the 4th-10th batch will arrive later.

Your order to be shipped is completely different. You are paying for the whole cost of the device up front. All Apple want to know is if you have the funds in your account to pay for the phone. The upgrade programme is a credit agreement. Apple are going to give you the phone today and you pay it off in instalments. So the credit check is an indicator of whether you are likely to be able to make the payments each month and enable Apple to recoup the cost of the phone.

Being rejected for the IUP will not effect your online order. It will still be shipped to your house providing that you have the funds available in your account to pay for the whole cost of the phone in one go.
