We ran into this issue at the iPhone X launch. Apple pushed out the latest dev beta for that device on launch day avoiding the need to downgrade etc. Hopefully that's the case this year as my iTunes backup is 13.1.
Got a tip for us?

avoid Argos, they were a complete joke last (or could have been for the X) charging cards promising delivery then backtracking saying they had none

I went and picked up an Xr today and will return it inside the 14 days. Use to be against doing this but Apple's pricing for the UK has changed my mind!

Has to be something contractual with Barclays, given the highly desirable item are going to be more susceptible to fraud I assume. Doing it in person must give Barclays some more confidence
If you can get a mortgage online a phone wouldn't be an issue
I was thinking the same, maybe Barclays prefer an in person contract agreement, less risk? I mean.. mortgage fraud isn’t that prevalent, not sure about loan fraud though.
Any idea how to do this? I’ll have access to my laptop again on Sunday so can do it then and perhaps look at getting the trade in sorted next week.

Hmm, it is tempting... although will need to outlay a lot of money!
Should I get an X or the iPhone 11 ?
I know, the X is old-ish now. But similar price and the X has a better screen. Not that fussed about camera improved.
I have a 7+ and wife has 6+ and we need new phones now
But I want 5G compatible so I need a cheap stopgap for 1-2 years, probably 2 years.
What’s the old X going to be like vs the new 11?

Download the IPSW from the developer Center. Plug iPhone into the laptop. In iTunes, click the upgrade button whilst holding the option button. It will then ask for the IPSW, use the downloaded one.
Midnight Green, Space Grey, Midnight Green, Space Grey... first world problems right here!
After years of going space grey i’ll be getting the silver this year as I’m finally ready to embrace the brighter silver bands. Also want to go caseless more so being able to polish them back to health will be good. Wanted to like the green, but I’m just not a fan of green in general. Pleased others are keen on it though as hopefully that’ll take demand from the silver. 
Poll is up!
Im erring towards a Midnight Green Pro 256GB.. if stock is limited I'll pip for a Space Grey

I’m at a stage now where I must upgrade. My 6 whilst still going it definitely struggles with a lot of apps now. It is a really tough choice between the 11 and Pro. I was thinking of an Xs but I think the ultra wide is actually going to be a useful lens to have plus night mode on top. I’m leaning towards the 11 but I might be tempted by the Pro.
OK added the iPhone 11 colours to the poll! Couldn't remove the original 'iPhone 11' option (unless any mods reading this can?) so change yours if you wish!
Yeah looks to be the case. All the ones on Amazon mention XS/11 Pro now anyway
I’m familiar with the iPhone upgrade program and the payments plan, both over 20 months in the UK.
Does anyone know much about the trade in option to pay over 24 months?
The extra 4 months helps to spread the cost and keep the payment lower so I was considering the 11 Pro instead of the 11.
What happens if your trade in is valued lower, do your monthly payments end up higher or do you have to pay more upfront?
Is there an option of paying more upfront voluntarily?
Is this only available when trading in?

Swinging back towards the Silver (let’s be honest it’s white) Pro Max after watching this again, it’s those silver edges that do it for me and I’ll have it in a case either way so wouldn’t see the back...
Difference between the 11 and the X though is that whilst in a case the camera shows the colour of the phone, so what colour case to get?! Ah first world problems...
Selling my X with music magpie (£425 not bad, but should have bitten last week when it was £440). Although I don’t need to send in my charger etc I probably will - no good to me.
I could go and buy an XR for a week, or just hold off sending it in because MM hold their offer price for 14 days.. not sure
will be getting an 11 as the extra on the pro isn’t worth it to me. May do IUP for a year and upgrade to the 2020 model.
Just not sure on the colour as I love the XR bright yellow but the 11 is much softer. Maybe red or black..
