Still jealous of you all having your new phone and knowing mine won’t be here till October 7th. I’ve been tempted to cancel and try and get a pro max sooner.

But I know if I don’t get the blue plus I’ll spend the year just wishing I had.
Why cancel? Just keep looking and cancel if you succeed?
 
Surely if they were going to issue the payments today they would have done it by now.

I mentioned this that numerous haven’t had a payment and told today, that was 12:30. I said why haven’t anybody got it.

I’m worried about the whole thing now tbh. To reissue a payment shouldn’t take this long. I’m worried about it all now with cash flow/bankruptcy problems maybe.

To make it worse I normally am on iUP and just hand in, numerous on here said to do a bit work and make some money by cashing in AC+ and paying off and selling to recycler. I now maybe even lore out of pocket after all

If we owed them money there would be more urgency from them. This is also the first time I have used MM. 😬
 
I’ve still got the 13PM here and picked that up yesterday having played with the 14P since Friday and realised I was missing the big screen (deliberately bought a Pro for the smaller screen so it’ll fit in cycling tops better but that plans hasn’t worked out).
I know they’re hard to get at the moment but I can’t be bothered to try to get a 14PM. It’s so much more money for little improvement; so far the “dynamic island” isn’t a particular reason for me to spend the money.
I think this will be the first year since the 3GS that I’ve not had the latest and greatest iPhone but I’m struggling to see the benefits of the 14.
Very much the same, first phone returned since the 5s. Roll on next year!
 
Yeah Cambridge and Milton Keynes is the one I keep coming up, what’s IUP btw?
iPhone Upgrade Programme - its a way to look for stock and reserve without having to buy online... an IUP reservation is carried out in store, but you can use that appointment to pay however you please

 
My wife has completed her basket with MM for smart kiosk drop off. I've told her to hold off taking it until I hear that people in here have received payment.

I wonder if MM have financial issues

Works better in the App. On web you have to choose a store. In the app you swap between configs and the stores dynamically change.

I doubt its financial issue, sounds more like a bug/processing problem compounded by the fact everything was closed yesterday..

fingers crossed they get though the payments soon. did I read correct in that where people had selected PayPal, it was all ok?

the kiosks seem dependant on staff availability to 'examine' the phones, which doesn't help

It’s good to know that deliveries must be coming in today! Wasn’t sure if it would be delayed a day or 2 because the bank holiday
I just called my local store and they said they just don’t get a lot in store so the best way really is to order only at least we have a date then or do what I’m doing now and just keep checking and hoping…

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a cash flow issue for MM because if you look on Trustpilot and elsewhere you’ll see people have had a similar issue in the past with the SMARTDrop Kiosks. So I think it’s just a process issue.

I haven’t had payment yet but also not had much time to call/chase MM. I’m sure it’ll get sorted, so I’m not too annoyed but I do want it sorted sooner rather than later

I wouldn’t either. I’m waiting for £660, I’m very suspicious now, even though chat told me they’d process today.
