with these Argos prices still being so high.. anyone else think Argos are just being Argos and have forgot to reduce them since the announcement!?
No I just have a horrible feeling they quote highly then say very different once received. I’m a bit wary so sticking to MM. Also I saw a post about it being brightstar that’s interesting cause I saw it being a different company somewhere earlier on their trade in website.
 
Upgrading through EE with a discount code, does anyone know if this can be done online or do I need to talk to a CSR at 150? Anyone had any experience doing this during the mad rush of an iPhone launch?

You can apparently but I understand Safari doesn’t play nicely with discounts according to some feedback last year so probably best to try different browsers if you run into difficulty

Is there any way to view Apple Care status on any of the Apple apps - can’t quite remember if I still have this or not?!

You've probably found your status now, but if anyone else is looking. Mine showed up on my subscriptions tab within the app store (as I was paying monthly for it), also it should show up under Settings "Settings" > "About" on your device.

If you “get-ready” for pre-order and are paying in full but also selected Apple care + monthly - is the Apple care billed to your Apple ID or to the payment card which you use to checkout with. For example I’m paying with Amex for the phone (Apple Pay) but I want to pay monthly for Apple care with my debit card (which is my default payment method on my Apple ID).
 
The iUP is a special sort of set up. If you’ve just got the Barclays finance, that’s essentially just a loan between you and Barclays, so “handing it back to Apple” isn’t really a thing like it is on the iUP. It’s up to you to settle the loan any way you wish.

i think the options you’re seeing are just what Apple would give you for trade in, which you could then put towards your loan balance.
Yeah agree I’ve found a trade in site to clear my balance if u took out apple care through Barclays that can be refunded

Isn't using PayPal Credit NOT interest free though ? Why would you choose that instead of Barclays Finance which IS interest free....?

The options will appear at the checkout so probably on order day - Friday at 1pm.
PayPal credit is interest free for 4 months and doesn’t require an additional credit check. And as I am selling my previous phone it’ll be a quick job paying it off

I’d imagine your card easiest way is do it through settings once you receive the phone and it will use the card linked to your iTunes account

I got my standard ESR screen protectors and Spigen Liquid Air Case ready to go. The camera cut out on the case is as big as the iPhone 12 Pro Max that I used to have. It's a bit chungus.
 
It’s going to explode after 1pm tomorrow when we all frantically ask if we should have our confirmation emails yet etc.

That weird wonderful part of the day.... trying to get all your work done in the morning so you know you can take a break for ordering. Not being able to fully concentrate in the morning through excitement. A deathly silence at 12:57 and after securing a sale and recomposing myself (typically 20 minutes) scrolling through 140 pages of "the store isn't open", "Why did the store open on Edge not safari?" someone annoying everyone by weirdly managing a purchase at 12:56, and about 60 people convinced they have a Christmas delivery because they didn't get on until 13:03...

Right. So who's going to be on "Don't post your order number and address" screenshot duty? 😅

Confession.... I'm more excited about this than any grown man should be, bring it on!! and good luck all (if only in respect of getting a wink of sleep tonight!)
