Will the installment purchases incurr interest?
I'm asking because I'm wondering whether it's cheaper to get the phone on installments from Apple and get a sim only, or go direct to a network...?

Yes installments will incur interest!!

Apple do a 0% finance offer around xmas time where you can buy in equal monthly installments and pay no interest.

Regarding instalments - If I remember correctly in cases where you have to complete a credit check or e-sign documents there is a delay - your order is not complete until everything has been processed.

Clearly this means that your pre-order would most likely not be considered amongst the initial batch and may push delivery past release day by a substantial period.

Also DO NOT order any accessories with the phone as this may also delay delivery. Do cases etc separately.

Yes

Im going order handset only.

Accessories will be plentyful in the stores by the 25th so you can walk in and buy. Also AC+ you can add that up to 60 days of purchase so no need to get right away.

I like the Midnight Blue and the Product Red cases... But I better buy the iPhone first before I start actually buying any extras.

I can't sleep. I'm excited and this is just pre-order day.
 
I bought Spigen's Neo hybrid carbon case with yellow bumper and tempered glass screen protector, no idea if the tempered glass would hinder the 3D Touch. They will be shipped on 30th which is a bummer.
 
Ive just set the alarm on both my ipad and iphone lol

If 1 alarm doesnt wake me then 2 will!!

Im excited about the pre order too cant sleep

o2's pricing and tariffs:

http://news.o2.co.uk/?press-release=o2-to-offer-iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-in-uk
Click to expand...

Customers buying iPhone 6s and 6s Plus on an O2 Refresh Tariff pay for their Airtime Plan and Phone Plan separately, meaning that in a year’s time they will have already paid off a percentage of the Phone Plan leaving 12 months payments outstanding. For those on O2’s new 30GB O2 Refresh tariff, O2 will waive the outstanding payments on the Phone Plan allowing customers to upgrade at no extra cost. All customers have to do is trade in their old phone, pick their new O2 Refresh tariff and walk out with their new phone.

Am I being really dumb or does nobody actually see this as a really good deal? o_O

Im planning on buying the 128GB Plus which sim free from :apple: is £789

This new 'first in the uk' offer on the 30Gb tariff is confusing. So with a £9.99 handset cost and £69 a month that makes the total cost for 12 months £837.99 including 30gb data, unlimited mins and texts and their version of applecare+ Then at the 12 month mark O2 will let you upgrade to the next iPhone at no cost by handing back the phone to them?

So is it just me or is this actually a crazy good deal? Help!!:D

Editing this post to add sum sums......

Trying to get my head around how it would differ to my current format:

Buy the phone sim free - £789
Sell it just before the new announcement for approx £200 less than I paid
So that technically means its cost me £200 to have the iPhone for a year
I have a cool tariff with O2 friends and family discount saving 50% 5gb data, unlim mins and texts £16 a month

So £16 x 12 months = £192 airtime
Plus cost of having the phone for a year = £200

Total cost for one year with latest iPhone = £392

I think I have answered my own question lol
