Apologies if this has been covered. I'm aware that we can reserve through the upgrade programme link and pay in full, but does anyone know if we have reserve through the upgrade programme link but opt for 'Apple Payments' when in-store instead? (ie. the lesser publicised 0% 20 month payment plan without AppleCare).
It seems as if Apple haven't actually provided a route for people who would like this option to go down.

I could pay now and reserve in Edinburgh but i highly doubt the apple employees there would let my family member who lives in Edinburgh pick it up and post it to me. Oh well - hopefully there's stock in soton at 6am. Istocknow.com is showing no stock for my local store
They will let someone else collect it. If you reserve through the browser you have an option to allow someone to pick up on your behalf.
So i can pay now, reserve and let someone pickup? I would prefer getting it from my local store though. But istocknow is not showing any stock
Edit: oos in Edinburgh now. Im hoping so bad that my local store have it at 6am
Yeah I just ordered mine & it asks if someone other than your self is picking it upSo i can pay now, reserve and let someone pickup? I would prefer getting it from my local store though. But istocknow is not showing any stock
Was about to get through checkout for Matte 7+ 128GB in Glasgow when I was rejected by the website. Now iStockNow is showing 0 stock for ALL PHONES AND MODELS across Europe. I'm thinking maybe the reservations were taken down rather than the stock not being available? I hope so, can't imagine there was much traffic at this time.
Not actually getting reservations. Just seeing stock available to pay now and pickup tomorrow. It's still not clear on if this gets first dibs and leftovers go to reservations in the morning or if it's split so both avenues get a fair crack tho, as there seems to be confusion.
Ah that makes sense. I think a lot of people are getting the 2 confused to be honest.
So what are the links to reserve? Is it only this one https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/GB/en_GB/reserve/iPhone/availability?channel=1?
Yes you were. That link you have is the one that was causing problems. This link is the correct one, that's more reliable. https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/GB/en...199B8CD61B3E15F6&rv=0&path=&iPP=E&appleCare=Y
Apple have provided a route on their website, it's part of the upgrade plan and you just tell them at the store which you want to do when you go too pick up.
I got to making the reservation! For a 128 matte black! At White City! Then it was gone by the time I chose a time slot!
This system is a joke.
I found one to reserve this morning (even though I'd have to drive for 1hr20m or so to get there.)

Then it said my Apple ID had been locked for security reasons. Had to enter countless details to unlock it, by which time it had gone. There was no reason whatsoever for that to happen.
Thanks Apple.

If the script is any example, it looks like white city, Stratford and Reading had 2 Matte black plus 128Gb.

It seems when I've tried, I've been logged in but it asks me to login again. Any way to avoid?
