Once more for the latecomers :p (there are a lot of posts in this thread which I do appreciate and haven't read all of myself!):

The normal store ordering flow just offers you the ability to have it held in an Apple store of your choice rather than delivered. You still have to pay for it as normal, same as if you were having it delivered.

If you want to reserve it and pay on the day (either in full or via one of Apple's instalment programmes), then you need to go via the iPhone Upgrade Programme page's reservation system and pick an Apple store and time of day. This may be linked to on the normal ordering page when the store goes live and/or on the page for the Upgrade Programme itself.
Ah thank you, appreciate that.

I can’t get into store until the Saturday, do you know if you can reserve for IUP for that day?

Failing that, am I right in saying I can pay in full now for store collection, go in on the Saturday and have it refunded to join IUP?

no pretty sure the reservations will only be for friday stock next week.
 
Was waiting to see contract prices before deciding what to do but my god they're so expensive. Definitely sitting this one out - enjoy folks!
Might be doing the same. Happy with my watch series 5 seeing as I’m upgrading from Series 0... praying Apple decide to completely revamp next years iPhone with a new design and a lot more features. A shame the prices have also gone up to £1,049...

Nope, only for launch day. Reserved phones that aren't sold are released for reservation starting the following day.

As for your plan of buying and refunding to join iUP — I think so, but don't take my word for it. Maybe someone on this thread has done the same in a previous year?
 
Ok guys, good luck and see you on the other side. Hope you get what you all want
