Worked out how to retrieve it now. Not as quick as the old method by the looks of it.
 
I'ma happy I passed.. this would look silly on my wrist but it will be a great device if you get the most out of it
That’s still the risk for me to be honest, I might hate it on my wrist. If that’s the case though I’ll send it back and get the S8. Will probably have to wait for one by then though!

Yeah just tried that, annoyingly when you click the item in the list it takes you to the product page and you have to redo more clicks, trade in yes or no, buy outright etc…then add to bag appears. It’s definitely not going to be as simple this year.
I can't imagine it being that manic... even last year there was stock well into the first hour of release... these price increases will probably put many off too

yes give it a go, the s8 stock won't be constrained I'd like to presume. make use of the full 2 weeks and decide!

Have to admit im gutted the Alpine Green wasnt there. Probably will make a comeback mid cycle like last year. Any idea if 128GB is even enough?! I wanted a Pro Max but a 256GB Pro is much more in line with expected pricing.

I fear purple will sell fast though, and that’s what myself and my wife are hoping for. True, the prices may well be a deterrent this year. Can’t believe them, painful really.

Looking to pre order on the 9th and would like to select the option of using Barclays finance for the purchase but I can’t seem to find how you apply beforehand to get this authorised as if it’s left until when pre order open then it’s likely the delivery date will be pushed back due to the time it takes to go through the application process.

Can anyone advise on how you can do this beforehand ?

Thanks

its not showing up yet on the apple store.. hopefully it will in the next 24 hours... that's how its been the past 2 years
 
Is anyone signing up for the iPhone Upgrade Programme for the first time? I thinking of joining for the 14 Pro Max as it includes AppleCare. Does anyone know how I'd reserve a phone on Friday so I can go into store to sign up? Do I follow the same process as if I was going to order?

I can't remember how pre orders worked with IUP... before the Barclays 24m loan was a thing, I would pre-order for instore collection when the phone went on sale. When I would collect, I'd tell them I wanted it take it on IUP.

you could just add AC to your order and then just take out the Barclays 24m option...

14 Pro 128GB in either silver or space black for me. I have a 13 Pro in silver already so wouldn’t mind a change, but still like the look of it one year in whereas I think I’d get bored of black after the novelty wore off. Really dislike the purple colour, and gold isn’t my taste.

Price increase is a bit of a bummer but not unexpected. On the IUP so expect I’ll just hand it back and get a new one come the 16th! I know it’s not quite the best value for money, but it is also very convenient.
