Crikey, I’m now very annoyed at the prospect of standing around for a couple of hours... I had naively thought the store would have just allocated enough stock for there to be a simple flow of customers, not hours of backlog.
I should have selected Covent Garden, nobody remembers it exists...

Mate, it’s not an Apple limitation. The ‘work around’ is to subscribe to YouTube Premium. Then you can continue playing in the background.
Can't you just show the QR code on your phone for music magpie?
I've selected Royal Mail and was pretty confused at first.
No because the phone would be in the box packed away.. Friday morning post off old phone...spend morning with no phone...pick up 11 in the afternoon from Apple store
Hahahahaha! WHOOPS. I hadn't even thought of that.... I better print one out just to be safe.
Last year when I migrated from S3 to S4 on EE all I needed to do was:
- Unpair S3
- Select ‘keep plan’
- Pair new watch (based on back up, but i’m not sure that is necessary)
- Confirm that you want to apply plan to new watch.
I considered Covent Garden but it's just really awkward to get from there to work.
I was in there yesterday and it was empty so defo a good bet for launch day.
It's no smoother, sadly.
A few days ago I basically had to go through your above process, but instead of migrating to a new device, I had to migrate to a new eSIM on the existing Series 4 Apple Watch due to a cock-up by EE. Took them around 24 hours for all the behind the scenes stuff to work itself through.
I also did a full wipe and restart from scratch with my watch, just in case. Thankfully, it wasn't too complex to get everything setup the way it was before.
My driver is 15 mins away. I refuse to believe it's a sim card. It's my phone, I know it is!
It's a SIM card!
CRUEL!!!
Awesome - no hassle at all??
Did you send just the handset, or the box and accessories also?
How long did the process take?
they just want the handset. I might still box mine and include the charger as I have no use for it. Will keep airpods and lightning cable as spares I guess
so those who want to just give apple the phone back to Apple after the 11th payment and upgrade.. I'll stress again.. don't! for not much hassle than agreeing a music magpie deal, sending my phone to them and a few phone calls to cancel and settle the plan I'm £230 better off.
sold Phone for: £704
settlement figure: - £575.55
Applecare refund: + £101.68
----------
£230.13
if you give your phone back to apple and just take out a new IUP, you'll see none of that.
the AppleCare refund goes back to Barclay first but as I've closed my account now, they'll then refund me the amount.. might take a few days to all go through but that's not an issue.
happy days and roll on Friday!

Well it hasn't been opened yet, but I'm told it's very flat!
Yep I saw when he brought out of the van and almost didn't bother answering as I knew what it was at that point!
I called up this morning, mines by loan with a delivery date of 1-8th October so it got cancelled right away with the loan
I sent it all back, (had the headphones and plug socket untouched in the box and I swapped the lightening cable for my old one.. otherwise it looks like it was straight off the shelf in an apple store. Didn't see the point of keeping any of it.. have a drawer full of the 5w plugs and the pro is moving to the USB-C variant.
also hoped it would help MM not try knock off any Money
Just had an update from Stormfront. So basically my order says delivery “from” Friday. I messaged them to clarify this, and they’ve said depending on stock levels I should have it for Friday, if not then it will be Monday it gets delivered as they don’t DPD don’t work weekends. Fingers crossed it comes Friday and it will be a very long weekend for me.
Thanks both!
I don't think there is a 'proper process' that won't involve calling EE (Which is my preference). I back up my watch to my phone when I unpair, and I back up my phone I encrypt that to iTunes to preserve historic health data. It's natural to me to restore the data from the old watch to the new one. I think my mistake last year was not to click 'keep plan' when unpairing - my logic was that I didn't want to keep the plan on my old watch... My goodness that call to EE was so long... I think I knew more about the watch and various serial / imei /esim numbers than the several operators I spoke to for an hour and half... (single call
)
It will just show a search on her credit file, shouldn't have to much of an effect
