Thanks. I have the option of the "tech pack" with Barclays, which is increasing to £9.50/month from November. Covers two phones up to £1000 and then £1,500 for other gadgets. Not bad if you want everything to have some sort of insurance I guess, although it seems like third party for just the iPhone could be a bit cheaper.
Got a tip for us?

Yes if you want a new iPhone you have to 'trade in' the old one. OR you keep it and don't get a new one.
Mine (TSB) has an excess of £100 for iPhones
but covers up to a maximum if £2000 retail value for loss, theft, damage or breakdown including faults along with another £250 for lost, stolen or damaged at the same time (e.g.cases, headphones). I claimed on the policy when I damaged my 3gs (the excess was lower at the time thankfully) and they didn't have any replacements in stock so I too got a cheque so waited a few weeks and got the 4 when it was launched.
Worried for the same reasons! I've always had a black iPhone... 3GS, 4S, 5, 6... Always had a black one. Felt like its time for a change but the white face is brighter, which is good and bad i think. Black is a safe option, because it blends the borders in differently. But part of me feels like getting something different. I love the midnight blue case with the white though i think it looks great.
HSBC offer insurance aspects, which includes car breakdown, travel insurance and mobile phone cover for one device only or two if its joint.
I get applecare plus anyway, but insure with my bank only to use the theft or loss.
I personally prefer apple to replace my device with a new one, insurance replacements might not be reliable could lock to first sim which would be a nightmare.
Plus i hand my phone to my mrs anyway so with AC+ i know were covered.
You pay off the handset part of your tariff e.g 25 p/m for the last 12 months which is 300 pounds and the device is then yours. Normally you just sell the device to pay to exit the contract and start a new.
With these tariffs I think you keep the device, but I'm not sure... Maybe worth a chat with live chat to confirm
OooOoo the EE online store is down. I really want to upgrade quickly, but I'm thinking an expensive call from abroad (I'm on holiday p) might be necessary. I want the best deal and as an EE/Tmobile customer that recently discovered I'd been overcharged for the past 6 months on my contract for services I didn't purchase / use, I want some reimbursements and a good deal on my new 6s plus
Me last year, don't bother, your best of queuing outside a store to pre-order instead. I gave up at 11 last year and went to a store, I got my phone on launch day. The key is to not use a city centre store, use one that has less customers.
US only
Unless you mean the PayPal finance, which I believe is website only but is available at preorder.
The only phone i got from a store on launch day was the iPhone 3G. The time when iPhones were a little less popular, i simply walked in O2 and walked out with one on launch day there were about 3 people in queue. Lol
I think I've got JUST enough cases.
99p each, couldn't resist that. Will throw spares at friends, haha.

Right! I'm back from my night work, been up for 18 hours and going to bed....
See you all in the morning. Ill be up around 7 (normally am anyway) fingers crossed for a successful day for all.

Having never pre ordered online, can I ask what the link to use is - the general Apple site, or one for the particular store that you pick up from?
I have a Three sim only plan @ £15/pm. Will buy the iPhone 64GB 6S and it works out £55/pm over 12 months through apple finance. That's £70/pm with no up-front cost and for only 12 months and not 24. Plus I get unlimited 4G data with tethering, 5000 mins and 5000 texts.
Best way
