You just have pre approval
yes, you've not started the loan as you've not completed the check out.. that's Friday. You would also get 14 days to cancel the agreement too.

also, looks like you can cancel the pre-order too.

go to the apple store app, the 'for you' tab at the bottom. then click the view pre-order link on your order.. once that loads, scroll to the bottom and there is a 'delete and start over' option.

Back for the usual shenanigans; I'm late catching up on the key note in another country! Found it more flatlining than the 13 presentation.

This year I'll be sticking with my Z Fold 4 unless the 48mp camera proves to be magical.

Pro prices are shocking. Space Black & Purple both look cool. Interesting to see what they've managed to do with the pill notch.

Ah, yes, credit loan starts when preorder is complete right: Friday?
The loan is activated when your phone is delivered - if you hit 'delete and start over' on the pre order screen you should be able to roll it back to let you go down the pay in full route.

Just done pre orders for the pro max in silver and space grey. Was actually good to have my card pre authorised and go through that process as am finding my bank (TSB) a bit unreliable with their security : two factor authentication when getting online stuff at the moment. I lost a restaurant reservation recently because it wanted me to verify the payment in the app and nothing was showing in the app when I opened it. Despite selecting a reservation 3 times I couldn’t ‘checkout’ in time and within about 10/15 mins all the tables for the month were gone. Still raging as was for a foodie holiday and won’t have opportunity to try ti go again for a long time!! Now I know I shouldn’t have the same problem on Friday as it was by passcode and worked fine .

doesn't look like you can.. only credit card or PayPal when paying in full.

looks like you'd have to wait until Friday itself and follow the traditional checkout route.
I lie.. you can!

When you select credit/debit card, you can then add gift cards

Just pre-authorised the loan for an iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB in Silver! I like the white colour a lot and it goes well with a lot of other things I own in white. Purple is my favourite colour, so it was really hard not to choose the special colour this time around.

I have the iPhone 13 Pro so the upgrade to the max size will feel like a jump forward at least. I always hated the larger phones, but I am constantly using my 13 Pro sat down and wishing I had more screen space. In an ideal world, I'd have both sizes, but due to wallet constraints I'll just have to settle for alternating the size each year! 😅
 
ok, now what?.. Friday 1pm is ageeeesss away!
Endless debate and overthinking about whether to change mind on spec
Yeah I know!
I need to make sure I’m free too! People at work keep trying to schedule meetings and I purposely keep trying to avoid any time around 1pm. 😂
Thankfully we have an informal commitment to try to avoid Friday meetings since hybrid working can mean back to back teams meetings on other days
Anyone know if you can use a gift card to preorder?
Oh good question I have £120 gift card and was thinking to use (truth I have one from ordering MacBook for my parents that they don’t really need 😂 so I’ll come to an agreement with them)

see my previous post (one of many!)

you can add gift cards to pre pre-order.. you select the pay by credit/debit card and you can add the vouchers there!


I used £555 of vouchers I had burning a hole in my pocket for nearly 2 years on my watch. lessened that blow at least

First time in a very long time I've done the mad dash for an iPhone launch. Just wondering what level of bedlam to expect for the 1pm launch on Friday. Are we talking Glastonbury level of craziness, or generally if you get your pre-order sorted bang on at 1pm you'll have a launch day release or within a few days of that?

Just don't want to be stung hamming refresh, site to be down, and then come back up saying they can't deliver until November. My poor XS FaceID died in July and smashed the screen to smithereens last week (which is fantastic as it's practically worthless on trade-in now!).

All ready for Friday now.
I remember pre-pre-ordering last year but can’t remember exactly what happened at checkout when you have more than one iPhone… was it one at a time or both together?
