Other UK iPhone 12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max (2020) Orders and Dispatch Thread

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?

You box it. I would have thought you could opt for a different collection address but I don’t know for sure.

You can now get pre approved for Barclays 24 month loan for the 6th, but no sign of iUP

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.

About 5 mins to fill in personal details and bank details and then got 3 emails from Barclays a couple of minutes later with approval confirmation.

Anyone??

It wouldn’t stop your approval already completed.

I’m sure that they’ll be doing their best to find a workaround for the IUP / lockdown problem.

Yes - but how would it then work on order day? would it just let me process 2 orders? if both for different models how would it know which order belonged to which application?

Apologies if it has already been asked and answered: After approval of the Barclays 24 month loan, do you get asked to sign anything? The information sent via email and the loan documents you download from the link provided seem to indicate the borrower needs to sign the agreement but I have no link to anywhere to do so? Just don't want to find out on Friday when trying to order the phone that a step was overlooked by me!

Thanks

You box it. You can have it collected from any address.

From Experian:

Hard inquiries have a negative impact on your credit score, in the short term at least. While a hard inquiry will stay on your credit report for two years, it will usually only impact your credit for a few months

Thanks!

That’s me pre approved for the Pro Max and my return request submitted for my Pro. Was just too small for me.

Roll on Friday!

 

[GM2146]

Payment taken for 12 Pro last Thursday and it still hasn’t been dispatched.

 

[CD3660]

That’s...my return request submitted for my Pro. Was just too small for me.

There are a few of us doing the same.

Have you arranged a date for the return. If so, were you given any leeway?

 

[dbrose]

I am assuming just because you are preparo ed it doesn’t budge you up the preorder queue any more than someone paying in full?

 

[CD3660]

It must be imminent.

Definitely not. It’s first come first served...

Or, in other words, “dog eat dog!”😂

 

[GM2146]

It must be imminent.

Better be or else I’ll be requesting a refund and order elsewhere.

Don’t fret. You’ll have it in the next few days.

Hubby did the loan application for the Max and passed. Doesn’t look like the upgrade option will be available due to lockdown so this isn’t much different anyway.

Same here.

I’m in Scotland so even tho we’re not as locked down as some parts of UK, and non-essential retail is currently still open, that may change before long.

Decided to get pre-approved (or whatever the **** the correct term actually is) for 24 month 0% loan so have cancelled AC+ and got refund of £87-ish leaving me about £412 to settle with Barclays for my 2019 iUP iPhone 11 Pro Max 256gb deal.

Got a quote for £606 from o2 recycle.

So in end will be paying £49.95 per month instead of £71.45, unless I decide to take out AC (which essentially boils down to a decision on whether or not to go case-less as I’ve yet to damage a phone - famous last words 👀)

This seems quite a good result. But knowing my luck I’m probably overlooking some trivial detail that will cost me several hundred bucks as a lump sum or tens of £ per month.

Anyone see any flaws I’ve missed?

 

[maka344]

That’s it!
judt like that. So it’s lens flare and documented ?
ao annoying when spotted. Thanks.

Just got mine today. Now I have to persuade Vodafone to send me the e-Mail to transfer the e-sim from my iPhone 11 to the new phone. Did the sim swap at about 10 o clock this morning and still nothing. Vodafone CS will not assist until I have waited 24 hours, in the mean time I have no working phone. What’s shambles!

Nope. You’re good to go.
