So im supposed to be in Spain next Wednesday for sun, beach and beers. This is going to screw my MM trade in. I would need an iPhone for holiday tho!
 
Mulling up the options and think it might be better to sell and pay off the rest of my loan. I‘m sure this has been asked before, so apologies, but is this the process?:

1. Phone Barclays and pay the rest of the loan off - think I still have £560ish (is this easy to do? Do you get it in writing to make sure no extra payments get taken!)

2. Contact Apple and cancel AC+ to get a pro-data refund (again, how easy/quick is this)

3. Sell old iPhone and sign up to new plan/loan

Any help appreciated…
 
Has anyone pre-ordered on the IUP even though they have had to make a early upgrade payment?

Worried as my IUP renewal is due the end of October - will I still be able to pre-order and pay early?

Yes I think you have it the right way.
Can you settle early with Barclays and not get charged any extra fee etc?

Applecare can be cancelled quick and easy - just one phone call.
 
With all these video improvements anybody having 2nd thoughts what storage to go for?

Definitely, I've only used 100GB of my 256GB 12PM as I like to transfer my videos for video-editing before the Cloud.

I intended to go 128GB on the 13PM but that can't handle Pro Res 4K video, only 1080p.

I've set up a 256GB on pre-order but even thinking if 512GB is the safer long-term option for this year.
Without actual hands on use, its difficult to know exactly how much memory the new Pro Res vids will take up.

The 1TB option sounds pretty crazy!
 
Pre-approved for my preorder. Roll on Friday.

Went for 13 Pro, 128GB, Blue.

Going to try for an 8am slot in my local store so I don’t have to wait for the delivery driver all day 😂

Can you opt for in-store pickup if you’ve been pre-approved on the app? I have my old 11 Pro to trade in and would rather do this in store in person than send it off via the post

Same here.
Intended to go 256GB anyways, but now wondering if 512GB should be teh safer option for future use (intend to keep the the 13 for at least 2 years....)
 
Waiting for Amazon to list the Pro Max leather cases, last year they messed up the prices and managed to snag one for £52.09

Oh yes, that was a right royal result, snagged a couple!
Assume Amazon will list the 13 Pro Max leathers on launch day.

The major win was Amazon screwing the actual 12 prices, just too busy pre-ordering on Apple to get in on time!

Maybe lightning will strike twice and another Amazon employee will be collecting their P45 on the 24th!
 
Hi, I’m on the upgrade programme. No issues with having to pay the balance but won’t let me pre-order and is saying I have to go in store. Anyone know why?

Im in the same boat as you - spoke with Apple and apparently we will just need to reserve a slot to pick up when pre-orders open on Friday 1pm.

...probably because Pre-Orders haven't opened up yet - they don't open til Friday 1pm!

ReBuy is offering £643.

I used them last year and they were great. They collect old phone via DPD and pay very fast. They were also very helpful via email and Twitter when I had to reschedule collection after my incoming Pro Max 12 was delayed.

The £643 is only for 'Like New' though (The device is like new and shows no signs of wear). Drop that to 'Very Good' (The device is in a very good condition and only has a few slight signs of use - e.g. some slight, superficial scratches. The scratches on the display cannot be seen when the device is switched on) and the offer drops to only £500
 
I have £605 through SellMyiPhone, if that helps? (12PM 256GB)
Try the person I recommended - you’ll get £670 the same day! Just call the number at the bottom of the page to arrange a meeting in person so you can be happy with the price etc.
 
I feel you, I’m still very much debating the 13 to 13 pro. The weight is a very big con for me. And thinking about it I never really use the telephoto etc. Yeah the 120hz sounds nice but tbh my 12 pro atm feels good enough in terms of refresh rates so im not certain which one I’ll be pre ordering yet. Either way dunno why I’m dithering it’s only gonna be with me for a year before all this drama starts again

To me the 13 is a no go as my main reasons for upgrading over the 11 Pro are the screen and camera upgrades. But that weight gain though it sounds not much is a real pain. I think the last time I owned a phone over 200g was way back with the Nokia N93.

Hey folks - back again this year for another round of pre-order madness :D

I've got my Barclays approval for a 13PM 256GB in Graphite. Have a 12PM 256GB in Pacific Blue, but IMO the Sierra Blue is a bit too pastel for me.

As per previous post replying to someone else, I only got my recycle price locked in at 01:00 this morning, so have £605 with SellMyiPhone. If anyone wants to donate a not-to-be-used higher recycle lock in, then that would be awesome! (Not sure how many companies lock in their lock ins to specific person/specific bank account though - not suggesting I send in my phone and you get the cash in your account lol!)

Good luck on Friday all - hope everyone manages to get the phone they're hoping for :)
 
Just got off apple chat and apparently you can't pre-order through the IUP if you need to make an early payment. Disappointing.
 
Not hugely pleased with the new colour options for the Mini that I plan to buy. On the other hand, the 512GB option is very welcome to me. And I’ll stick it in a case anyway.

Yes. On Friday you can select in store pick up or delivery when preordering.

Its definitely an issue for me.
My 11 Pro Max is 226g and it’s just too heavy. Notice it all the time but especially with one hand as my little finger always ends up supporting the base. Becomes annoying. A constant reminder that I should have got the Pro instead of the Max which is only 188g for the 11 Pro and about the same for the 12 Pro.

So a real disappointment that the regular pro 13 is now 203g

and the pro max even heavier at 238g

at least the regular 13 is still under 170g (but without the features I want!)
