iPhone Reserve and Pick up (UK ONLY)

[Stuart1714]

Is it true, that you can reserve the phone with IUP and then buy it full price at the store ?

is it confirmed?

I did on Friday, however at the time the IUP was having a few system difficulties so they said I could buy it outright.

would they have let u buy it, if for no technical issues ?

Not sure I can help with the model number and store, just paste the url's for .json requests in the browser and find your store id, then google the stock number you are after, couple of extra if statement later you should be there!

I know how to read the .json file. But I'm stuck on what you would normally use to read the .js file. I was just on the availability.json and 10 mins later I refreshed it and its blank. I think they take down the .json at 7pm.

I don't know, but even if they don't allow you, you can still get it and sign up for the loan and the phone.

I always thought that in the U.K. you have a right to cancel a loan within the first 30 days, paying any outstanding capital and interest, so you can just pay the loan off straightaway.

Not sure what you are trying but you'll need to have node installed on your computer. Run the file in your terminal and you should have some messages saying whether they are in stock or not.

Just checked now (6am 19th September) and NO stores had any plus available.

 

[gramw]

Yep no +'s today. All the 7s minus the jet black though

UPDATE 19/9

No Black/Jet Black Plus in any of the London Stores.
A few stores do have other plus variants. (London Stores)

Also The Reserve and Pick Up Link ALWAYS says come back at 6:00 am!!!

Anyone figured out why that is? why do we have to keep going through the IUP route to reserve an iPhone???

Managed to pre-order Black matte 128gb from white city today. Through upgrade program

Good to hear is that the 7?

Also are you planning to buy outright or stick to the upgrade program?

Would be thankful if you ask them if it was possible to buy it outright instead as the other link to reserve doesn't work.

Looking forward to hearing back about what they say

Thanks

I guess they have closed that loophole then. Last week you could just pay outright when you got to the store.

Nope, they're letting people buy outright once you get to store.

It was a 7 but they were showing 7 plus stock - didn't check for colours.

I will certainly ask but the appointment is at 17:15 so you'll be waiting a while.

Now I just hope they have the series 2 watch

What stores were people seeing +'s at earlier? I was on before 6 and and was refreshing until it came up. Checked my 2 local stores first then all the others and didn't see a thing

Pretty much most London stores had some at 6.
None in black/JB though.

There was a 256 jet black 7 available this morning In Cardiff. It didn't last long. A black 128 also popped up but vanished pretty quickly.

Ive noticed that the stock gets refreshed in the after noon sometime, does anyone have an idea of what time this actually happens? We know it's 6am in the morning, but new phones start showing up at some point during the day too. It happened last year also, as the 6s I wanted magically appeared in the afternoon. Could it just be a cancellation though?
