Would highly recommend switching to Authy - syncs over iCloud, and you can have it on your Mac/Watch/iPad too. I used GA in the past and changing phones was a greater headache than it needed to be.

Ah interesting... not going to the store alone is worth probably £50 😂
I wonder though if you do the 24 month one, with the lower monthly payments, you will have more to pay off next year when it comes to upgrade time.
Great Minds and all that! Just downloaded and going through all my accounts
Cheers
Anyone got any UKMail or DHL notifications? Or we legit waiting until this evening
Theoretically no difference in cost if you sell privately and pay off the balance as both are 0% loans. You will be worse off just handing it back on IUP. That is presuming you also take out AC+ on the monthly payment plan.
I don’t mind IUP as for the ~£150 over the year I know it’s no hassle to upgrade, though still have the option to sell privately and avoid that.
I wish we had the American IUP as that’s the best of both worlds with the 24 month term. I’m not sure why we don’t, considering Barclays offer the 24 month payments separately.
Yes fair enough. Hmm... tough decisions. My desire to upgrade is entirely dependent on how good a step the 12 Pro camera is. But I will need to pre-order before hand...
Sorry if this is a basic question, but can you “reserve” / buy a phone on Friday pre-order day if you’re upgrading with the IUP?
Yes, IUP requires an in-store reservation and pick up, whether starting a new contract or upgrading as part of the programme.
Will be there at 8.15am tomorrow to go from 11 Pro to 12 Pro on iup.
....wow - you must literally live right by the high street then right before The Glades shopping centre!
...I've just tried - they would only give me £1 off as a loyalty discount because they could see I already had a 20% discount code applied.
I guess its better than nothing!!!!
To start a new iUP, you can go for the in-store pickup option, then say you'd like to go on iUP when you're there. To upgrade, it's the same process as the financing, and you reserve an in-store pickup.
Thanks that’s really helpful!
I think I might have found a sort of less hassle loophole actually... you can trade in with Apple, provided you’ve paid off the Barclay’s amount. Apple is offering £580 for Pro Max 11 ; mazuma are now offering £570!
I will have ~£500 of payments left on the Barclays contract. Add in the AppleCare pro-rata refund and I’ll probably be ~£130 better off this way. Then can buy the 12 Pro Max on monthly 24 payments.
Issue with this is waiting for payment on trade in. Can you trade in in store though I presume?
Actually, starting afresh by not restoring backup would solve my problem of having my old phone on iOS 14.2 Beta (I'd probably would have had to bring the new one to that before restoring too).
Good idea!
Good idea!
....what about password apps and finance apps though - setting up as a new device could potentially not carry this type of data over.
I've never had any issues with restoring from back ups - safest way I think as you know 100% of everything gets transferred.
....they would only give me an additional £1 off as they could see I already had a 20% discount code applied!!!
...same here.
I take it a iOS 13 back up is useless to restore to iOS 14
can’t remember now it’s a long time since I tried

No one knows for sure, we're just assuming they are since people with multiple phones in one order received emails saying they'll honour just 1 unit per order.
