Can I ask a daft question about the iup?

What's the difference between that and the 24 month interest free offer? I bought my 15 PM on the 24 month interest free loan from Barclays. When I priced up a trade in to a 17 Pro it said it would knock the last months payment off my trade in value?

If you’re already enrolled you can. Otherwise I think it’s in store for new applications. You can normally reserve one via the app and do upgrade program when you go to pick it up. Once the stock hits stores you should be able to check which ones your prepared to travel to and see what they have. I’ve had to do this a few times, when I couldn’t get hold of one straight away. Someone posted a link for the reserve page they other day, so when that goes live it also worth trying.

I assume I can't pay for one using the normal option, get there and say I now want to do the Upgrade Programme?

Do you have a link to the reserve page?
 
Dates aren't shifting. Still at:

All Silver + Orange 17 Pro Max except 2TB model | 29 Sept – 6 Oct

Had a disaster 🙈

Decided after watching a lot of the hands-on videos that I'd prefer the smaller phone and that I'd try something a bit brighter with the orange. I had pre-pre-ordered a Pro Max so had to cancel it, but then Barclays requested an ID check with my new application so my order is on hold.

It's now been approved by Barclays but I assume by the time Apple updates my order, my pickup window will be long gone - I also had selected to pickup at a store I was going to be nearby for work on Friday, but nowhere near where I live...

What joy! Reckon I'll end up having to cancel this if my slot slips and just hope there's stock at 6am on Friday to reserve on the day. Hey ho - at least it's a bit of excitement...
 
I ordered two pro’s at 7:01 and it says delivery 9/25. Not super clear why. When I ordered, it said pick up in Apple Store on 9/19 but deliver 9/25. I’m hoping that’ll change to 9/19 once everything gets rolling. I’m debating cancelling to get the ones that say 9/19 delivery, but I may keep them and just see what it does.

Has to be in-store for some reason and basically you pay for the phone & AC+ monthly (I think maybe slightly more than an interest free with Barclays?) and you guarantee the new phone each year without any additional payments. Essentially a lease whereas with the 24 months at 0% it's your phone to keep.
 
blue pro max 512GB ordered arrives next Friday. I got in at about 4/5 mins past. I wonder if setting up a preorder gives you priority?

I see the air is still showing next Friday for delivery.

In the US I got in when the store opened at 7am but delivery was instantly showing as 9.25 for the 17PM Orange & Blue but pickup was still 9.19 and this was the same for virtually everyone lets hope they get moved up (although I went instore so doesn't impact me)

Same here, but I did delivery. 🙃 I’m debating cancelling, but I may just roll the dice and potentially wait those extra days.

I remember back in the day I got so excited when I was on O2 and I wanted to upgrade to the iphone 5, I accidentally clicked to upgrade to a 4s, and that's what I already had!!

So had to wait for that to arrive in-store and cancel it and then get the 5. Luckily my ex of the time worked next door to the O2 store and chatted to them during a smoke break and they sneakily put aside a 5 for me so I had one waiting.

It's not ... price of phone + AC+ (you can upgrade to AC+ with theft and loss). Pay £69 when collecting the phone and then (Total-69)/20 per month.
 
Well that was easy. 256 GB pro max in blue ordered for 19 September delivery at 13:03 and then I realised that I was actually planning to pick it up from the Apple Store so seven minutes later I placed another order and still managed to get one for the 19th to pick up from the Apple Store

My friend's reserved already and isn't on the programme yet, so a new joiner? He just did it in the app following this link:

iPhone Upgrade Programme

Get a new iPhone every year, and the protection of AppleCare+ with the iPhone Upgrade Programme. Buy now or visit an Apple Store today.

EDIT: apologies for misleading, my friend is already on iUP! Sorry for any confusion haha

Cheers, but I assume the monthly payments are the same between IUP and the interest free 24 month loan? So with the loan after 12 months I could just trade it in and start another loan?
