What model are you getting?

I think it's telling how the operators are giving out particularly generous data quotas at this time. Perhaps they know that customers won't be using as much mobile data when people at home will likely instead connect to their phones via wifi...
Indeed lol, I think the most I use is when I track a walk or a run in Strava. The rest of the time I’m on WiFi at home or occasionally at work when I go in.
 
maybe a bit early to ask this but for us newbies who have have been pre approved finance, what are we expecting to do via the iphone app tomorrow at 13:00 ?

will the model we chose already be in the basket? or do we have to select it again and go through checkout? i assume it will know we are using finance so will not ask for any payment details?

Thanks

Thanks. You too for your collection.

I assume that if I ordered a case for the same store that I'll be able to click and collect that too? I guess I won't be able to get Apple to for a screen protector though?
I’m not collecting but thanks. Yes I’m sure you can collect case but they won’t be allowed to put the screen protector on in store.

12 month sim only deal for 100GB for £20.
I pay £20 a month for unlimited data with Three - who are pretty good round here.

As we have BT broadband (FTTP), we also get BT Wifi wherever it is available. That helps with many (but not all) of the gaps in 3G/4G coverage.
 
Sorry guys, thread is now too massive and I'm late to the party so gotta ask.

Have we seen the 12 Pro Max cases anywhere yet? Guessing they are the exact same as the Pro cases?

Ordered a blue Max (well pre-approved for one I mean) and now thinking it will look ass with all the cases from behind. Maybe graphite and that lovely burgundy/plum colour is the best pick.

Any ideas - will the cases be up today?

Played with the new ones in John Lewis yesterday.

The design is gorgeous, but having spent a few months with an S20 - the only thing I could notice was the 60hz display.

Apples silcone case was available on amazon the other day but now are gone guessing no more stock. Managed to order one for delivery on Saturday though
 
Hope everyone is excited & ready for tomorrow! Planning on pre-ordering with Curry's (I know they can be slow but I've got an existing credit limit with them), did anyone pre-order their 12 or 12P using their flexible credit? Was the process fairly straightforward?

I’m going to get my gift cards ordered now I think £1100 minus 8% ,only problem is it takes time to input the 3 codes and pin ,probably miss early delivery but hopefully have the Apple Order as backup if my fat fingers slow me down lol

WOW... IUP.

Iphone 12 Pro "arriving by 10 Nov" has now changed to "arriving by 4 Jan".

Looking likely that IUP is no longer an option.

As a bit of a finance dummy... can someone explain my best option going forward? Barclays finance? Can I send my iPhone 11 Pro Max back? I'm about to pay my 12th month and I'd rather not keep paying when I'm looking to upgrade.

Thanks all

From what I've read - you can go for a new loan - sell the iPhone 11 Pro Max privately or to a website like Rebuy or Music Magpie and then pay Barclays off directly.

Cool. And purchase Apple Care with the new loan?

Then in approx 12 months time, as long as the phone is in good working order, I won't be left with any 'negative equity' upon reselling? (IUP is so easy.. I need some guidance lol)

Mate, my wife is in the same position as you.

We got the same update for her iPhone 12 Pro day 1 pre-order last night.

Absolute joke!

Yup Apple care can be monthly as well and yes you can do the same thing next year as well - you usually get more by selling privately or online to like Rebuy and gain a bit of profit after paying the loan off. Win win really.

Just want to check but can you do in-store click and collect for the barclays finance? since they would only approve mine for my family home not my student one where im spending lockdown
Yes as long as your Apple store is open - seems some may be open and some are not.

How long does it take for Apple to refund A AC+ to Barclays?
Wondering in what order I should do the calls to close down iUP...
