Currently have a X and am torn between the 11 and 11 Pro. The additional £50 for the Pro over the X is really annoying, taking it over the £1K threshold.

Have previously used the iPhone Payments (without the Apple Care) plan. Nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away. Can I order online and pay using credit card, get phone delivered to home address, then take into Apple store within 14 days, get a refund and then apply for the iPhone payments? I did this with my X last time around, but didn't unbox the phone between receiving it at home and taking it into the Apple store. Is it okay for me to use phone within the 14 day return period? Reason I ask is that I plan to give the X to my wife and have a locked in price for her iP7 with Music Magpie and need to send it to them as soon as I receive my new phone.
 
Does anyone know how long I have to collect the phone if i reserve for store collection? I can’g get into a store on the release day (Friday) but should be able to on the Saturday or Sunday - would it still be there for me?
 
Do we think the carriers will have their prices out before 1pm? If not it’s going to be madness trying to compare them all! (Well I’ll only be looking at o2 and EE where I get discount, but you get the point)

So long as you're reserving outside of the Upgrade Programme or Payments Plan, you'll be fine.

The difference being that an outright reservation will take payment from you in full.

Today is the day!! Still unsure on if I’ll go pro or not, it’s a lot more money than the 11 for what doesn’t seem worth it... maybe I’ll go for the pro next year with the redesign....
 
Pro Max for me, SG 256gb. Using the IUP coming from the XS Max SG 256gb.

I'll be sat with my iPhone, iPad, Macbook and iMac all refreshing at 1pm, lol :) :)

Get ready for this thread to turn into a week of pure insanity!!

adults will turn into gibbering wrecks, lose all common sense, ask the most ridiculous questions about an order or card not being charged....

wouldn’t have it any other way!! :D

hope we all get what we want..


I think I’ve settled on Grey.... think....

pro, pro, pro, pro

we’ll lose all respect for you if you don’t.. and you don’t want random people from t’internet not respecting you....


Grey.. are you sure??

ye... no :(

cant bloody decide!! Just not sure on green looking at the photos. Think I’ll go grey and if it upsets me that much I’ll just simply return it.

Also decided I’m not going to try for the iUP.. no chance of being accepted if people with perfect scores are getting declined, having a decline on my history won’t be great either!
 
Or no case at all! As I plan to do...

But now I am having second thoughts about sticking with 64GB of storage!
 
And a clear case so people damn well know it!


See now I quite like those photos....

I’m using about 10gb less than 64gb but I have a 2tb iCloud plan and 42,000 photos on it! I go for 256 though mainly because if I find some apps that push me over the spare 10gb then I’m knackered. Also if I am going to start storing the photos on my phone as want the full quality always available

My dilemma is whether to go for 512 or not. Usually I don’t. Always the ‘middle’ option but I figured with the new cameras and recording multiple streams I might burn through storage fast (I’m a pro video shooter and photographer) - but usually I delete the video files after each shoot and rarely hit capacity- BUT with the ability to record 2 or 3 simultaneous streams...and filmic pro pushes the file sizes to be way larger than the native phone app I wonder if 200 quid more is a good idea.

On that basis I’d go green and change for grey if no likey......... prob an easier switch to achieve in first 14 days.

I hope everyone gets the iphones they want. Do you think the midnight Green will hold its value well when it comes to resale? I’m not sold on it I always get black or space grey.

I’m going for a black 11 128gb this year.

Yeah they’ll be fine. For example phone trade in companies like music magpie will never ask what colour it is anyway

Won’t be getting green whatever model I get as the first car I ever owned & it was an utter disaster that cost me a lot of money I could ill afford back in the day. Have never purchased anything mechanical or electrical that was green coloured since.

Also stuck between the extra storage of the 11 Vs the telephoto of the Pro. I use telephoto a lot, kind of disappointed that such expensive phones don’t have 3x zoom, the Motorola One Zoom has that & costs about a third of the price. One of the reasons I want a change is my X doesn’t have enough storage, and I don’t do the iCloud.

I’ve finally made my mind up in the colour. Ive never had a Silver iPhone, so Silver will be :D

Can’t decide on the size though :( I have a XS Max at the moment, love the big screen, but when I had the X I remember loving the size. I’m torn :confused:

You won’t be disappointed! I’ve had a silver (X and XS Max) for two years now and it’s a lovely colour.

Changing for change’s sake this year really, the Silver will always be my backup no-brainer choice

It’s kind of odd that iPhone Upgrade Plan users have the least flexible options should their chosen model not be available when they come to reserve. It’s a case of having to keep checking back until you can find one to reserve. I’d really like the option to just select my choice and then wait until Apple tell me it’s ready - like outright purchasers can.

The thought has only entered my head because I’m going for green and, judging by the reception it’s had here, something tells me the demand for it might be higher than anticipated. I’m not up for wasting time next week continually hunting for store stock on the app so if I can’t reserve one, I’ll just use my credit card and order for store delivery so that I can just get on with my life until it’s ready for pickup.

Silver all the way! (Still not sure why it’s called silver though because it’s clearly white!)

The silver bands really finish it off
