You should still be able to reserve an iPhone on Friday though right and then go through the process when you are in the store?

+1 to this!

If the iup with extra payment doesn’t work on the app, just preorder one for in store collection and when you pick up, sort out your IUP payments there

Did anyone last year who did the 'pre-pre-ordering' have multiple phones ready? I'm ordering for my wife and I and wondered if I'll be able to add both to basket and checkout once or have to do both separately if I've got the two phones 'ready'.

Not personally but given they’re actively promoting pre authing another device you’d think it will be fine

Does anyone have any experience of Apple trade in?

My 11Pro has the very faintest of scratches on the screen. You cant feel it and can only see it in certain lights. Would this be picked in the process and "down graded"? Not sure what the expectations are here as the question asks:
  • The touchscreen and back glass are undamaged
Is damaged cracked etc?

Say it’s perfect and let them decide. If you make it as ‘damaged’ you’ve lost the chance of them not noticing/caring

...thanks!

It seems we have to wait til pre-orders actually go live on Friday to sign up to a new program - the app doesn't give any options of signing up now!

No, same as last year. The only option available was to per auth the finance. This year they’ve added the option for full payment too but given it’s not charging the card etc, and that still happens on Friday when you order, there’s a small risk it could still be decline by your card provider as some tend to most years

I have absolutely no need for anything above 100GB to be honest.

But I have to buy the 512GB 'just in case' ;) lol

I want to start using my phone more for my YouTube videos - may save buying the new GoPro!

I was the same but have hit 93gb on my 128.. cutting it fine now so went 256.

This is with 2tb iCloud

How does pre-approval preorder work with Trade in? I've been approved for a 13pro trading in my 11 for £260 value. My concern is if my 11 doesn't get the full trade in value, then I potentially cant afford the monthly payments. Do they test my phone extensively, or just give a once over?

Don’t put yourself in financial difficulty for a phone. Not worth risking a bad credit score for.

Maybe confirm your trade in then get the phone?

I’m currently undecided on upgrading. I have a X at the moment and thought I might go for a blue pro max but might not bother. My last upgrade was from a 6 which felt quite slow, don’t feel the same with the X. Might upgrade my iPad mini 5 instead.

Starting to second guess my colour choice... I always go silver so I can polish out any scratches.
Anyone who has had a non-silver phone without a case, how does the coating hold up to scratches?

I have to say my 12 pro silver has been in its ESR case since day 1 and I took it off today to get ready to send to MM and gave it a good clean. No scratches at all

If you’ve used a free trial for Apple TV+ with new device before, iirc it won’t let you do it again
Click to expand...
Ah pretty sure I activated it last year and didn’t watch a single thing.. (or maybe this was on the 11?)

Either way I cancelled it just before the trial ended and then a day later Apple announced that they were extending the trial by a couple months! 😫

Thanks- I worded this poorly. I can definitely afford the payments no problem. It’s more that I don’t want to pay £50 a month, but £30 with my trade in is perfect.
Am I able to go in store and they tell me how much my trade in is worth (without wiping my phone etc)

If things are really that tight for you, I don’t think it’s wise to spend over a grand on a mobile phone.

Not judging, just my opinion.

I’ve done pre approval for the IPhone 13 Pro Max I haven’t ordered a phone on release day for a good while now.
 
Well, I think that upgrading from my current 12 to the 13 is, 1 - too much hassle considering that the value of my 12 will NOT pay off the outstanding balance of my Barclays Finance so I’ll have to also pay the difference, and, 2 - the 12 is just far too similar to upgrade. I just wouldn’t feel that I’m getting anything new!!

I think I may just order myself a new screen protector and case for my 12, so that I feel I’m getting something ‘new’!!!!!!

😆😆😁
