Evening all, any idea how the IUP plan scenario will play out for existing customers who want the 12 Pro Max?

Already paid an additional 2 months and don’t fancy paying any more to be honest.

On the other hand, my wife’s iPhone 12 Pro is due for delivery / pick on 10th November so intrigued how this will play out with the new UK lockdown?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Right now no one really knows regarding IUP. I’m assuming that she can pick as click and collect is still allowed. She should be okay.

Hopefully Apple will let us know soon.
 
For the initial 12/pro launch - did anyone order 2 phones both on the finance? and if so how did it work when it came to pre-ordering? Did both pre approvals show as separate links and did you need to do 2 separate orders?

I just had mine approved, but my wife's application has been rejected (I suspect because she already has 2 other devices on Apple/Barclays finance).

I am wondering if i can do another application in my name also (but don't want to risk it screwing up my original approval!!!)
 
Stupid question but if I get pre-approved for the iPhone payments, I’m not under any obligation to go through with it on pre-order day, right? In case they do iUP somehow...

The pre-auth expires if not used by Monday 11th.

Correct. I pre-approved for the 12 Pro (6.1) but didn’t end up ordering. The only downside is, I believe, it’s a hard credit check each time.
 
sorted approved
I take it we add it to basket and select collection if possible or delivery
When you open the app on pre-order day it will automatically take you to your chosen iPhone
How do you sign the agreement online
Tick a box to accept t&cs

The pre-approval expires if you don’t use it
Isn't it suppose to be smarter?
You’re right, maybe I should give it another chance. Can’t beat Google’s knowledge though.
 
Just got my iPhone 12 black and it has some weird white marks around cameras under the camera unit glass. I cleaned the phone to make sure it is not just an external marks. I hope apple will replace it.View attachment 977503
Update: I went back to Apple store and they told me, that they can replace the phone, but it will be the same batch and it will probably have the same thing. Also they said, that it is not an issue, it is just the way it is. They showed me, that all the iPhones 12 (on the stand) having the same marks, but in different places. So I just kept the phone in the end, because it does not bother me that much, but come on, Apple, wtf, right?

I would get it exchanged and go for another colour
 
Still waiting from Very for my 12 Pro i ordered last monday. Anyone else in the same boat.

I’d never purchase launch devices from Very. The dates are never correct. They also state available then on last page delivery from x date. This is so they get the order. Charge you. Then they have to wait for Apple to give them devices.
No retailer except probably Amazon ( which is Apple really) and I think John Lewis ever get launch day stock. Excluding carriers of course.
 
Can I ask how long the application process took? Don't have an iPhone so I'll have to go through the process before checking out.

I am not very sure for Friday as there will be browser loading issue.

From today’s pre-approval, I just came out of the app and checked the mail box.
Received total 4 mails.
2 mail is for contract pdf link and password. Another mail is from Apple instruction to wait for Barclay’s decision.
And the last mail is from Barclays as approved result. All of 4 mails coming in at same time as time stamp. May be only differed by seconds.

When returning an iPhone to Apple, can you have UPS collect from a different address? Do you have to box it up for UPS or do they bring the packaging to put the iPhone box in?
