Anyone have any experience of a store return during the last lockdown?

I’m toying with the idea of returning my 12 pro and trying the max. I’m not able to get to a retail store tomorrow so wondering what could happen if I want to return for a refund then pre order a max for online delivery
 
I used my watch to pay, and would not normally have taken my phone out but I took it and my wallet out to take a £10 money off voucher from my wallet. Could have cost me £1,099. 😱
I haven’t seen my wallet in months!
If I have coupons, they go in a cup holder in the car and every time I go shopping I look through and grab the ones I might need, or pickup the expired ones to throw in the bin at the door.

Contact Apple on Thursday and see whether they will take an online return. The rule is that you have 14 days to initiate a return and then ANOTHER 14 days to get it back to them. This will cover you until you get the Pro Max.

Good point. I always makes sure that I have my case(s) and screen protector before the phone.

Same. I’m getting the plum one from Amazon and otterbox from Apple so at least I’ll have one for when the phone arrives ☺️

I have ESR screen protectors already.
 
I have my Barclays loan approved for 24 months for the iPhone max 128 in silver. Can anyone recommend a decent folio case.
 
Now got my ESR screen protector on, my neighbour came round and put it on for me earlier which is great! Still loving the phone, have been experimenting more with 5g when i've been out and about today, and I saw a download speed of around 340mb earlier so was happy with that! I next want to have a play with the magnifier app because this looks very cool for people like me. https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-12-pro-lets-people-who-are-blind-see-others-around-them/ I don't always like walking round though with my phone in my hand, but this feature could definitely be useful when nipping round the shops and things!

You can say that again. I felt like an idiot.

Nah you shouldn’t feel that way. It’s human nature to do that now and then. Most people have done that at some point. I do try to be conscious and make sure I keep my phone in my pocket if I’m not actually using it. Even in restaurants I notice people leaving their phones on the table while they eat. I never do that. And I do also try to use my Apple Watch as much as possible too.

Anyone know. If I take out the Barclays loan for 24 months can I pay off in full at any time? I was going to pay in full but wonder if the 24 monthly payments might be better given the current circumstances. However, when things get back to normal I'd like to pay the rest off in full.

Anybody on here ordered 12 Pro recently with a 16-23 Nov delivery date? Currently got mine saying 23rd Nov delivery but was wondering if anybody got theirs delivered earlier than what it said originally.

Sorry if this has already been asked and hope everybody who got one is enjoying it :)
