Did you try the self-checkout function in the app where you scan the barcode on the accessory and it lets you pay for it there and then in the app with Apple Pay then just walk out with it?
Got a tip for us?

They wouldn’t let me in the shop without an appointment.
To be fair, there was probably a way round it but didn’t have the time to hang about!
Yeah it was an apple store. I think they only hold products for a week once you pay for them so that’s probably why!
As I've mentioned a few pages back, this isn't the lockdown we had back in March. This is how it works:
Supermarkets and other essential shops are staying open. You can walk in and shop, pay your money and walk out.
You can also click & collect at ANY store in England that CHOOSES to open during the 4 weeks to collect any pre-paid items. But this is at the discretion of the store whether they do this or not. You cannot pay for your items on the premises. I don't know how many non-essential stores will stay open for click and collect during the lockdown but all standalone Argos stores are staying open (for c&c only) for example.
The reason for this is that they want to reduce the browsing shoppers as much as possible, the ones that have a look around because they are bored-types.
Apple store is down pending updates guys...something is happening. Might be the leather cases
Thank you so much! Enjoying it so far.
also, on a side note, thank you to everyone who suggested the ESR screen protectors, I managed to get it spot on, on the second attempt.
But only because the 17-day fire break we have been under expires. So not that lucky.
(Mind, I think I feel lucky that the fire break started when it did instead of waiting about another two weeks.)
The advantage is one of convenience (ironic given current circumstances) and knowing where you stand with payments if you want to upgrade.
there is no financial benefit.
I haven't yet commented on the colour fo my graphite 12 Pro 128GB.
It is slightly darker than I had expected. But it is now in a Snakehive Teal newbuck folio case. The teal colour goes well with the graphite - and the inner fold of the case is grey and I am happy.
Pacific Blue would have clashed horribly.
The Snakehive case is decent but a bit thinker than, for example, Nomo cases from the past. The combination of the 12 Pro and the case is significantly larger than my 6s in a Spigen bumper case. But I am happy because changes in my life mean that isn't an issue. It looks as if it would give quite some protection in case of a drop.
And I agree the setup was almost trivial. A few settings don't go across (Here We Go was left on default USA voice. Sending me round traffic circles instead of roundabouts!) . Some downloads were required. And I still have an issue with my Microsoft Authenticator app (which will probably be easy to solve when I try).
One real annoyance. Here We Go no longer honours 180 degree rotation - only 90. I found 180 was very helpful as the Lightning plug is then at the top. (I often drop it into my cup holder.)
