When I bought my iPhone 6s from an Apple Store, I paid in full via credit card for it. Wound up with buyers remorse overnight, so called them up the following day and asked if I could change to going back on contract via my carrier with them. Yes they said, come into the store. Went in later that day; they checked the phone back in and refunded my credit card. Then took out a carrier contract through them with my existing network carrier and paid the smaller up-front fee.

I’d say as long as you’re civil & polite about the matter, they’ll likely be accommodating with you. I’ve also seen people starting with demands and threats in store and seen them get nowhere.

If i was to pre-order and pay in full for collection next week and then instore refund and use financing, anyone have any experience how that goes down with apple staff? Feels a little cheeky ;-)

im sure they'll be fine.. for the X i took my paid for online phone, refunded (they put it on an apple gift card (so you don't end up with loads of transactions on your card) and then straight away put the handset through on IUP. they then refunded the gift card back to my credit card

I am on sim only £20 for 100GB with EE I share the data with my wife who pays £5 for her sim. I think I am going to buy the 11 from Apple instalments for £22 a month. Anybody think there is a better option for me? Thanks

you trading something in? Otherwise cheapest is £35pm on iphone payments over 20 months. Not sure about the regular finance over 24 months but you'll be paying interest so may work out barely any less per month and more over the term

Apple being pretty cheeky putting headline figures based on assuming a trade in these days

Probably to encourage impulse buys, rather than allowing customers the time to think the prices over and decide against.

there's no apple embargo surely... we can all the the prices of the phones.. has to be the networks that are holding back

kinda seems ok? iphone payments (without applecare) is I think £35pm, so £16.50 for the plan. Not as outrageous as they often are when taking advantage of launches. Still probably on balance cheaper to go sim only and buy outright/iphone payments 0%

Not quite as carrier plan will be 24 months. Payment plan is 20 months.
 
How much is AppleCare for iPhone Pro Max?

Do they 'go live' by themselves or do you have to quit the app & relaunch/refresh etc?
 
Vodafone prices are crazy. To get an equivalent contract to my current deal (40GB Red bundle with worldwide roaming and Spotify) which is £80 I would have to spend £91 !!!

I still have no idea which colour I'm getting. I know I'm getting gold for the wife but I have no clue for me. I guess I'll let fate decide.

I donmt understand the difference between reserving for store collection and paying in full now or not - I did a ‘dummy run’ of going through the order process last night with a random item and it gave me the option for instore collection but never asked me to choose between paying now or not. Where do you choose this?

Once more for the latecomers 😛 (there are a lot of posts in this thread which I do appreciate and haven't read all of myself!):

The normal store ordering flow just offers you the ability to have it held in an Apple store of your choice rather than delivered. You still have to pay for it as normal, same as if you were having it delivered.

If you want to reserve it and pay on the day (either in full or via one of Apple's instalment programmes), then you need to go via the iPhone Upgrade Programme page's reservation system and pick an Apple store and time of day. This may be linked to on the normal ordering page when the store goes live and/or on the page for the Upgrade Programme itself.
 
For what it’s worth, was on live chat with three and they claimed they will have the best prices in the UK. EE and Vodafone so far are charging A LOT for their contracts.
