I'm hoping that's the case. A new form factor and a 5G chip would be awesome and worthy of the upgrade. Hopefully by then the networks will have 5G as a rollout across almost the whole UK.
It's always the dilemma isn't it? I've bought licences for things like 1Password and MacCleaner etc, as I prefer to minimise the number of things I have on-the-drip (same as outright purchase vs IUP etc) but then there's a new version needed to be compatible with a new OS etc ...
I work for a software company though, so fully appreciate that these guys need to make a living & recoup their investment in keeping things updated. 1Password do seem to be on the front foot though, their updates & communications are spot on & I'm a big fan.
Sounds like you went through the regular checkout route and chose instore pickup - i.e. you have paid for the phone and are simply collecting it.
If you wanted to reserve via iUP there was a completely different option to choose and you didn't provide any payment details.
I believe you can go to your pickup appointment, effectively 'return' the iphone you've paid for, get a refund, then set it up on iUP

You on commission mate?
Ha! - nice try, you owe it to your babies to make sure their lives are documented as perfectly as possible!
My kid recoiled in horror when I told her that my Photos archive would one day be hers ... I do look back at some of our earliest digital photos (Fuji FinePix, May 2000) and tiny Nokia 7650 pics from 2002 and wish that they were better, but I think we may now be at the point of diminishing returns until I can get a Princess Leia hologram on my table.

Wish I was! If Apple are reading this I’ve bought every iPhone since the 3G! You owe me one!
Did you order then cancel again @Dinof?
I didn't provide payment details I just selected a reservation time. They've charged (or preauthorised) to the default card on my apple account.
I feel your pain, but a bit less because it's only 50 miles to the Cardiff store for me. There is an Apple Premium Reseller in Carmarthen https://www.stormfront.co.uk/ - never been there myself.
Not likely until tomorrow based on previous year. Could even be the early hours of Friday morning before your status changes, and you still get delivery on launch day.
Up to you. I have a subscription, it works out at about 70 pence a week. You can also get a family subscription, not sure how much, for you and the missus.

With the subscription you get the latest version.

Were you quoted a monthly price on your reservation email?
My Data Usage on the line i am upgrading changed for about 1hr - but now back to normal - so maybe just system issues anyway - other than that no change beyond the initial emails then the text advising that Tuesday was not the collection day on Monday afternoon
I have been checking the reference number in dhl parcels tracker but does not exist yet.
I had this last year when I thought I'd reserved under the iPhone Upgrade Programme.
Turned out I'd mistakenly in my haste chosen to only pick up in-store and hadn't gone through the correct link on the store for the Upgrade Programme.
They put me on to the Programme in the store, then refunded my card.
ouch sounds like you didn't do the IUP route? did you have to confirm your payment details when you did it?
my IUP checkout process was just picking the model, store and time.

how did you get to reserve the phone under IUP? I put some screenshots in the first post of this thread showing the steps I went through at least.Did you order then cancel again @Dinof?

was it the same?
....what a load of *'#%?!?!!
That's not how IUP works.......
At no stage during iUP Reservations do you provide payment details - you literally reserve the phone and sort the payments out in store. Heck, you can even change your mind and not turn up - what are they gonna do, keep your 'Pre-Authorization' fee.....?!!!
I think I did that with my first order through the app. Got to checkout and there is a big ‘apple pay’ button, and next to it is a button about alternatives. I clicked that one and selected a store for pickup and a slot. Thinking this was just a reservation and I’d do iUP when I arrived
But my email receipt included details of my debit card apple has on file so I think that was effectively pay and collect?? Cancelled just in case
Ordered again using the little banner that pops up on the website when you select a phone for ‘reserve for pickup’ - and that receipt email just has my time reservation and a QR code to show - no payment info is there

The pending transaction disappeared from Amex app. Still the order seems normal in Apple. This is for pickup from Cambridge Apple store.
If I remember correctly from Iphone X, they asked me and charged the card once I picked up the phone, so it should be the same process (convenient if someone is considering to switch to IUP)....

Yep, basically, getting the new phone on Friday, the new watch on Monday/Tuesday... so I'll probably be fine for paring the existing apple watch plan to the new phone via migration, but I'll have to phone EE to sort out the e-sim for the series 5 ...
