Just got off live chat with EE. 256gb pro max in green for £89 per month. He messed up and forgot to tell me the upfront cost so got them to waiver it, so handset was £0. Getting 30gb per month.

got the same deal but paying £530 for the iPhone & £50 per month
 
If i was to pre-order and pay in full for collection next week and then instore refund and use financing, anyone have any experience how that goes down with apple staff? Feels a little cheeky ;-)
 
preorder red, go to store to pickup and maybe do IUP (still undecided, may just buy it) - get hands on with yellow as a possible swap.
 
I am on sim only £20 for 100GB with EE I share the data with my wife who pays £5 for her sim. I think I am going to buy the 11 from Apple instalments for £22 a month. Anybody think there is a better option for me? Thanks

When I bought my iPhone 6s from an Apple Store, I paid in full via credit card for it. Wound up with buyers remorse overnight, so called them up the following day and asked if I could change to going back on contract via my carrier with them. Yes they said, come into the store. Went in later that day; they checked the phone back in and refunded my credit card. Then took out a carrier contract through them with my existing network carrier and paid the smaller up-front fee.

I’d say as long as you’re civil & polite about the matter, they’ll likely be accommodating with you. I’ve also seen people starting with demands and threats in store and seen them get nowhere.

I'm currently paying £18/month to O2 for 35 GB data (essentially unlimited for me)

Am now thinking of getting the 256 11 Pro Max on iUP for 71.45 / month ; bringing my total to £89.45 / month which seems just ridiculous!

At this stage, I think I might be better off doing an old-fashioned O2 refresh deal?! I also an NHS so could get 20-30% off... Or move to EE / a cheaper SIM only plan...

My concern is that this year, I am sure I will get the 2020 iPhone when its announced so perhaps iUP is the best way to go?
 
I donmt understand the difference between reserving for store collection and paying in full now or not - I did a ‘dummy run’ of going through the order process last night with a random item and it gave me the option for instore collection but never asked me to choose between paying now or not. Where do you choose this?
 
On live chat with EE and was told iPhone 11 64gb would be £50 upfront and £51.50pm for unlimited calls/texts and 30gb of data or its £56.50 for the same on a smart plan

kinda seems ok? iphone payments (without applecare) is I think £35pm, so £16.50 for the plan. Not as outrageous as they often are when taking advantage of launches. Still probably on balance cheaper to go sim only and buy outright/iphone payments 0%
