I don’t think favouriting it will matter this year. On the Apple store app, the ‘for you’ tab already has a placeholder for your preorder.

I’m thinking that will link straight into your chosen device here it currently just shows

Whenever I call I always get a text asking me a number of questions on a scale of 1-10..
 
Pretty newbie question - I have been on the IUP since the iPhone X, but this is the first time my upgrade date has been before release, and thus my first pre-order since the iPhone 6! Can I just reserve a phone for in-store pickup normally, or do I have to click through the IUP ’Check upgrade eligibility’ etc pages?

Looking to pre-order a 12 Pro in blue tomorrow, I imagine it’s going to be fairly popular so every second wasted might count!!

I‘ve got the new Watch and it is a great upgrade, sure you’ll love it.

All I’m after is a 12 Pro in Pacific Blue, base storage. Here’s hoping.

Well my current watch is the 2018 Galaxy Watch and my current phone is the Samsung Note 9. So will be a complete change of system for me on both fronts. But yes I am sure I will love it from what friends have told me and showed me. The health aspects of the Apple Watch are amazing and were what enticed me to jump ship to begin with, so am really looking forward to this change.

If you’re just wanting to give your phone back to Apple and take out a new iup agreement with the iPhone 12 then yes go via the check your eligibility page

Good morning and good luck everyone today - I’m holding out for the max

just a quickie has anyone went through andpaid of the iPhone upgrade program early thinkimgnthat May be the best option as we are well over the 11 payments now? What was the process of doing so?

Plenty of us have done it plenty of times.

You just pay off the outstanding balance directly with Barclays and then give Apple a call and cancel your Apple care. For that part they will refund the difference back to Barclays who will in return credit you.

Wondering if I should order on launch day from Currys. I get the 8% off egift cards via Edenred and bought my series 5 watch and mini iPad 4 using it with no issues. Also used it to buy the Mrs 11 Pro last Christmas. Always a chance Currys won't have many on launch date but I could wait. I'd be looking at a saving of £95.92 on the 12 Pro Max 256GB, enough to pick up a case and mag safe charger.

I'm in the same situation and have ordered/received the vouchers. I'm just concerned that Currys won't be offering pre orders at 1pm, and will start at some other time and be out of stock by the time I've realised they've gone live!
I'm also worried that they won't be as efficient at getting the phone delivered as Apple.

Does anyone know how to go about moving an EE eSim from one device to another?

You need to obtain a replacement eSIM from EE. They will issue you with a new QR code to scan on the new device.

Apple has implemented a new eSIM migration feature, though I've heard this does not work with EE.
 
Apple Store down!

Going to be a long wait to 1pm!!

Is everyone ordering blue/ pacific blue? 😎

Also what’s everyone’s take on storage this year - 128 v 256.

since getting iCloud storage with photos enabled I’ve only used 50gb of my 256gb in 1 year so thinking about 128 🤔

Ah ok thanks. Is there anywhere online I can request this?

Bit of a PITA that the migration tool doesn’t work.
 
12 Pro Max here, in Pacific Blue, to replace my 256GB XS.

I'm going 'Max' for a) the better camera and b) I missed the size of my 7Plus screen when I replaced that with my XS.

Just trying to weigh up 512gb v 256gb. My XS currently sits at 165GB of 256GB used, with 127GB of the 165GB being 'photos'. I don't really want to start subscribing to iCould storage, but the £200 extra for another 256GB seems a bit steep considering I might not need it.

🤔

always gone for the max before but this year fancy a smaller phone and never usedall the features of the camera when I had my 11 Pro Max so hopefully won’t miss the screen size.

I would go for the 256gb as you would probably not make use of the extra capacity?
 
Morning all, happy pre-order day.

I have been here since the iPhone 4 days, rarely comment, but love to read every post on every page every year. Currently I am on the Upgrade Programme and pay £ 66.45 p/m for the iPhone 11 Pro 256Gb. My plan this year is to buy the iPhone 12 Pro 256Gb and move on to the 24 month 0% with Barclays. If I trade in my Pro I get £ 540 from Apple (I know, I don’t want the hassle of going through another buyer, I can trust Apple to honour the price) this makes my monthly payment £ 22.87 p/m for the new phone after the trade in. Now I know that means the 11 Pro loan is still active and the plan was to keep paying the remaining 6 instalments to clear the loan as the Upgrade Program is over 20 months. Now this would mean I would be paying for 2 loans for a short time, but after the 11 Pro is cleared I would only be paying the £ 22.87 p/m which is quite cheap. Now remember that the Barclays loan is over 24 months so I would not be able to upgrade next year like on the Upgrade Program unless I do the same again like this year and trade in the iPhone 12 Pro for, hypothetically speaking, roughly the same as what I got for the iPhone 11 Pro, £ 540, then take out another Barclays loan on the iPhone 13 Pro and continue to pay 2 loans, but only for 12 more months on one of them. Now in theory this would mean that at that time the 2 loans would cost roughly the same per month as what I will be paying for the iPhone 12 Pro, £ 22.87 p/m, times that by the 2 loans and my question is would that not cheaper than doing the Upgrade Program but still managing to get a new phone each year and then after that just repeat ? I know this way does not include Apple Care but I’m not bothered about that, I also pay £ 13 p/m on Three for Unlimited Everything and I am just looking to see what the cheapest way of paying for a new phone each year would be. Is this a good idea or am I nuts ???

Personally, I wouldn't want to be paying for 2 loans at a time. Have you been pre-authorised for the 24mth loan for later today? Only I know Barclays can be funny sometimes about who they authorise and therefore they might not want you to have 2 loans at a time?
