Contacted Apple about the preorder prep issues. This is what they say:

Agent's Message: I totally understand you , as i can see indeed the Ready to Pre order process that we have online to save a bag and apply it on Friday at 13:00 is not available at the moment due to the massive bags that have been applied so far. The Ready to pre order process is just a saved bag that you fill in your details and at 13:00 on Friday, once you will join you can complete the checkout. In that case the best option for you is to check the website tomorrow in order to pre order directly or contact us back tomorrow , in order to assist you once the pre order will start.
that's such a 'first line support' reply!


"massive bags"!

😂 😂


honestly, people shouldn't worry that its happening.. it will be resolved and all be fine tomorrow.

This thread feels like coming to an old home!

have followed with interest since the announcement. Was going to go 24 monthly payments, but then thought - I’m going to Apple for a mortgage relatively soon - does anyone know / have any ideas whether the loan will cause an issue? Have an otherwise excellent credit rating.

can't wait to see some of the hands on with the Sierra Blue..

can imagine the Verge review being quite sensible with it not being a massive upgrade over a 12

(apart from us enthusiasts!)

Was yours a pay in full as it the "continue" button is greyed out when I choose my model.
Have done both pain in full and monthly, have had emails from Barclays approved and both had the blue continue.

Also one had the trade in and one didn't just in case I give the 12 pro max to my dad
 
I’m going to Apple for a mortgage relatively

is that a new product following the apple car? :D

new Loans don't always have a negative impact on portages etc.. in most cases it shows lenders that you can manage the payments, not default or miss any etc.

lots of new loans or credit cards etc can indicate higher borrowing but its all down to personal circumstances..

how much of your available credit are you using.. (i.e. have you maxed out your cards).. if you pay credit cards off in full each month then that's a positive.

To be honest if a 24 month credit for max 1500 £ makes a difference to a lender I would be shocked, however, if you have the available cash without going credit it would be better to be safe than sorry...... FWIW

Thanks - Not sure why mine isn't letting me do it. Via the website - no option to continue and app states "We've made changes to your bag"
 
Case arrived a day early! Love the colour. Shame about the small blemish on the lower right.

this time last year I was applying for a new mortgage and my mortgage adviser recommended not taking out any new loans 'just in case'. he said it probably wouldn't matter but it wasn't worth the risk, hard decision but getting the right mortgage trumps getting the iphone! I still got the new iphone though but bought on credit card and paid off on time which he said was ok because I already had the credit card (he also recommended not applying for a new one)

If we order tomorrow for delivery, will it be delivered on the 24th September or shipped on the 24th? I'm also getting the pre-order expired message too...

depends on the time you order and stock levels etc


most of us will be getting orders in ASAP so should all secure release day stock.. that means its delivered on the 24th.

would need to look at last years to see timings, but dates can start slipping on when they will be delivered pretty soon after 1.

There might be a small hint of blue in it, it does look lovely. Overall to me it looks darker than last years case, but I am not sure if my case has faded as I have been using it for nearly a year.

I’ve got my midnight leather case today too.

I’d say the picture above emphasises the blue far more than you see in real life.

It’s much more subtle.

Mine was the silicone version. The leather version in your photos does seem to have much more blue.

So I asked apple why I couldn't complete my "ready to pre-order" payment in full option :

As i can see indeed the Ready to Pre order process that we have online to save a bag and apply it on Friday at 13:00 is not available at the moment due to the massive bags that have been applied so far.

:oops:
 
This is interesting.....

Looking back at the iPhone 11 upgrade thread, it seems Barclays were sending out emails to people on their Finance Plans :

Anyone received such an email this year ?
 
Just got a dispatch notification for the Midnight leather case 😁 hopefully arrives before Monday.

Really hope to secure a launch day 13 Pro Max, can't suffer this 1st gen SE for much longer after selling the 12 Pro Max 😂
