Can't keep up with the thread today but I noticed a few pages back that some people had managed to get 2 phones on one pre order. How did you do this? I have a silver and black separately pre-ordered but would like to preorder 2 colours as one order to use a gift certificate as not sure which colour I will actually keep until I have them in my hand. Otherwise I need to decide what colour before Friday so I use the gift card on the right colour!
I didn't manage to get 2 on 1 pre-order... might quickly try again.
If not, I might risk it tomorrow and add both to the basket manually and checkout once.

So pre-orders start at 1pm on Friday, guess what time I start work at?

Anyways I feel priced out of this upgrade. If I'm upgrading through EE, I'd need to try and haggle down the contract cost significantly. Feel like £75/month would be about "par" for a iPhone 14 Pro 128gb. But they're currently listing the 13 Pro 128gb at £79/month... So its likely to be about £85/month.

I think I'm going to stick with this option too. The two tone of white/silver and black feels old school.

I will however spend every single hour today and until 1pm tomorrow agonising over this decision and going slowly insane.
Yeah I agree, I always used to alternate between the black and white every other year. I do like the look of the space black though :p Damn it!
 
Apple offering £510 for my 13 Pro 128gb, going with magpie who I have saved at £620 from last week.

I assume they're pretty good as everyone has mentioned them in here?

I have graphite but gold and silver look so dull, purple I'm sure Ill hate after a month so its going to be Space Black I guess.
 
Seems everybody that's pre-authorising so far has been accepted? No declines yet from fro
talking of watch, I'm hoping apple to their usual magic and under-promise and over-deliver and bring forward my dates from 21st for my s8 🤞
Same here, except mine is the 29th.

I'm in London at the end of this month and want to take a look at the new Brompton Road store near Harrods. If nothing can be done to bring the delivery date forward and the store has physical stock, I'll just pick one up there.
 
For those of you who have pre pre-ordered. When you open your iOS app should it be at the top ( as mine isn’t) or does everyone have to click on the “For You” tab to see it :

Did anybody manage a home delivery on a new S8 Watch for the 16th? I was only able to see the 22nd available which I found odd as I can't imagine there's much demand and I was on there pretty much straight away (ish)

In store pick up was the 16th and still was when I checked a few hours later still

So now have to travel to my nearest apple store after work Friday which is a pain, need to decide whether to just get the phone delivered there also or rely on delivery, guess we'll see tomorrow!

I felt something similar towards the Sierra Blue when ordering. But I feel different towards the purple, have to say. My only problem is that my wife is also getting the purple Pro... I'm potentially downgrading from the Max to the Pro myself so I can't wait for the first time we grab the wrong phones lol

Mine is at the top but one of three messages so that is scrolling along - so have the 3 buttons Apple Trade in and Fast Delviery or Pickup are the other messages showing in the same space.
 
its a soft search not visible to other lenders! but, if people are worried about their credit or have plans for other loans, maybe getting an expensive phone might be the right time.

But there might not be any worries, until Barclays PF search you three times in a week and before you know your eligibility to obtain finance is impacted.

"Having multiple hard inquiries within a short period of time can be predictive of credit risk, so having too many inquiries for different types of credit can result in a lower credit score."

In excitement forgot to use my works Perks on a case so reordered another and will take the first one back when I pick the phone up.

Weird thou the first one is ordered being a guest even thou I was signed in on the app

Thanks - mine isn’t showing - still saying getting ready even tho I have already competed.

I have to go to the for you section to see mine which will add some seconds onto the pre order time tomorrow!!!

I have the 13 pro in gold and its gorgeous! Not sure if this years gold is any different or not I haven't seen a comparison yet

I never get drawn in by the flagship colours though, its all hype and it will be in a case anyway! Dark purple is my favourite colour but do want a phone in purple? no, Blue? (Sierra) no, Green? no!

I always think the best way to choose is to look what the camera cut out colour (in my case gold) contrasts with the case (apple leather sequoia green) - purple doesn't look great with any imo

agreed, there are bigger things than getting credit on a phone in this world. people should make sure they're fully aware of the implication of their actions..

also taking financial advise from a forum of people who happily throw thousands of pounds at apple on a yearly minor upgrade might not be the best thing :D
 
I did a trade in estimate with Apple on my blue iPhone 12 128GB model which is in pristine condition. The offer came back as £290!

I paid £849 in October 2020!!

Why are they ripping us off with trade ins? The price hikes are bad enough.

I've got £384 locked in with MusicMagpie for a 64GB iPhone 12.
