There are a few of us doing the same.

Have you arranged a date for the return. If so, were you given any leeway?
I have until 16th to return it. Although the UPS schedule site isn’t working for me tonight. But no rush
 
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.
not really true

My wife's iPhone 12 arrived on time and I have had devices arrive on time before... Very has no more stock for 12 pro might be why they are struggling with orders now
 
So I applied for the finance for pro max. On the iphone it says at the top Barclays sent you an email with your load information. I received 2 separate emails one with a link to my loan agreement and one with a password but have yet to receive any information about my decision. Do I open the links in the email then agree on the app or what did everyone else do?😂

Give it 5 minutes and you’ll get your approval email.

Can you tell me how you initiated the return? Was it online or via the telephone?

I’m going to initiate my return come Thursday but I’d like to hang onto it for another 8 days after that if at all possible (for obvious reasons).

I did it via chat. Super easy and quick. They send you the labels and the link to schedule UPS return

No idea how Barclay’s operate.
I have a Barclaycard with a credit limit of £7000 that has a zero balance on it.
Applied for and got another Barclaycard with a 18 month interest free deal 8 months ago. They gave me a £200 credit limit....The said you cannot increase the limit for 6 months. Asked for a £1500 limit today and they said they couldn’t increase it to that but did increase it to £400. I was going to buy the 12 Pro Max on this card.
Applied for the 24 month interest free finance with Barclays and was immediately approved.
It makes no sense......

Pre approval done for the 12 mini. I’m returning my 12 pro tomorrow so how do I access the App Store on Friday to complete the purchase? Can you use the website or a Mac/iPad ?
 
How annoying, waited ages for the pre-approval to open up and I got rejected even though my credit score is top notch!

ah well, cash it is! I’ll be my own lender!

These Apple events are coming thick and fast at the moment. Silicon MacBook anyone?
That’s exactly what I‘m wanting, more than likely 2 as the Mrs is currently on a 2012 Air and struggling with it after somehow frying her 2017 Air. She’s not doing too bad surviving on it now while things are quiet but come January she’ll be in dire need of an upgrade and hopefully the Apple processors will do just what she needs.

To answer my own posts from earlier ....... I did a second application for my wife’s phone (after she was declined) and it was approved. The app now shows both approvals on the ‘For You’ tab. So clearly it is possible to have multiple pre-order approvals! Just hope there isn’t any unknown drama on Friday resulting from this!!!

On Friday do we simply open up the pre approval from that link? Someone before was talking about setting a favourite but I can’t see why that would be needed if pre-order approval link is already there??

No need to set as a favourite - just use pre-approval link.
 
Looking to get the mini Friday. What time will i be able to order in UK time? Is it midnight UK time or would it be midnight US time?
