Ordered my Midnight Green 256gb Pro Max at 13:09 chose my reservation time, next screen on the app told me it had been reserved, but I’ve had no email confirmation, nothing showing in my app under current orders.

I’ve locked in a price to sell my phone with Mazuma, does my current balance need to be paid off before I take out a IUP for the Pro or can I take a new one out then pay the balance of my existing one ?

Thanks Ross

You can take out another IUp whilst the current one is running. Remember it’s a new credit check if that might effect you
 
Looking at the screen specs of the XS vs iPhone 11, the XS is actually far superior as it has HDR and a much higher pixel count + its body is stainless steel vs aluminium of the iPhone 11.

Hmm, it may actually feel like a downgrade then dropping from XS to the 11! BUGGER......! :rolleyes:


This was my dilemma. I very nearly went with the midnight green, but I’ve decided to try the 11.

I loved my X and XS, but saving around £20 a month was a big factor and the internals of the 11, including the camera is still a big upgrade. Will I miss the OLED? I’ll soon find out.

I’ll probably go with the Pro next year if there is a new design and fingers crossed, no notch.

I’ve got an XR until next week when I return it. Coming from the X and XS, the screen does feel noticeably duller to me, the oled is punchy and vibrant. But on saying that.. if I had this a few more weeks I would probably be fine with it.

The biggest thing, and one thing I though I’d actually like is the size. The larger XR size and a case it’s making it awkward to pocket and one hand use for me.

I’m so looking forward to next week to get the 5.8” back

I thought you started a new IUP when you handed your phone back to them anyway ?

I didn’t want to pay off my current IUP until I got another one in place Incase I failed the credit check not that I should

IUP reservation or did you pay for in store collection?

This was in IUP clicking on my current XS to trade in.
 
Quick question - does it matter what condition the phone is in when you hand it back after 12 months if you’re on IUP?

I’m going to start IUP this year and am debating having no case on my phone, but won’t do this if I’ll then be penalised next year when I upgrade if there are marks on it etc.
 
im sure they'll be fine.. for the X i took my paid for online phone, refunded (they put it on an apple gift card (so you don't end up with loads of transactions on your card) and then straight away put the handset through on IUP. they then refunded the gift card back to my credit card
We’re you able to use the phone in the period between receiving it and taking it back to the store I.e did you unbox it?

I would say so, unfortunately.

After much indecision over Pro vs Max and colour choice, and after a false start this afternoon at 1pm, I discovered I'm not too late even now for a Friday 20th delivery — but the only options were Pro Gold or Max Silver.

I went with Max Silver.

Right call? Would you have waited for a different colour?
Be happy with your choice. All the Pro colours are good.

I ordered a few different colours with the view I’ll cancel the ones I didn’t want but they’ve all almost instantly gone to preparing for shipment which means I can’t cancel them on the app. Anyone had any luck cancelling them now?
I’m sorry to have to say this but it actually serves you right.

Your indecision has most probably caused others to have to wait for the phone of their choice.

Inconsiderate and selfish.
 
Nice to wake up to find my order moved up from “processing” to “preparing to ship”!

Pre order week always gives my the jitters ever since the Apple Watch - after much page refreshing I graciously (I thought!) ordered my girlfriends watch first, paid for it, then moved on to mine. The intervening two minutes and the fact my model colour was more popular meant she got hers on launch day, I had to wait three and a half bloody weeks longer. That said, I don’t think there was much chance of that this year.

Now if they’d only ship it early too...
 
Finally got EE to issue me with a new physical SIM card and un-do the disconnection of my cellular Apple Watch. Should get 3 months of free line rental for the watch for the trouble.

Gave my XS Max one final polish with a Cape Cod jewellery cloth before boxing it up for dispatch to Music Magpie. Despite them saying it's insured, I'm still going to send mine via Special Delivery as I'm then in charge should it go missing etc.

Fired up my burner XR and my thoughts haven't changed since setting my wife's one up last October - it's an excellent iPhone and extremely good value for money. Sure, the screen isn't OLED, but in terms of day-to-day performance, it's quite close to my outgoing XS Max. I think anybody moving to an iPhone 11 should be happy with their purchase if the gap has narrowed even further.

I can think of one or two people on here who will be reassured by that.

Anyone gone with o2 here?

I wonder if I should be concerned that my order is still showing as “in progress”

It’s going to be a longgggg 6 days aha!

that’s usual, doesn’t normally change till it ships. Which did you go for? I ordered a 256 pro max in midnight green.

I would agree with you if this were a few years back. However, the dates didn’t slip for quite a while this year, so anyone who wanted one could have got one. If you missed it, then that’s your own fault unfortunately. I wouldn’t call him inconsiderate and selfish. For the first time ever I’ve also ordered two as I couldn’t make my mind up.

OK now thats done, what on earth are we going to talk about for the rest of the week :)

Er....


Someone needs to ask in store.... those geniuses will know for use lol

Ordered a titanium so no discount for moi

Ok I’m all done for tonight!

7 more sleeps...

Lol more final thought...

Now the the pro comes with an 18w charger, I wonder if it will just look like the iPad type charger? Given my iPad one is 10w, I’m hoping the 18w in the box has a new smaller design.


And you were worried we’d have nothing to talk about :D

Ok, just cancelled my Pro reservation and now reserved the iPhone 11.

Bromley Store earliest collection is now showing as 11-11:30am.

What are the chances of me picking up my handset if I turn up at 8am (Bromley Store opens at 8am) given the fact that last year, there were ZERO queues at this store?

Jesus, you crack me up with your indecision Dino lol!! How on earth do you get dressed in the morning?

2,000 posts on 80 pages - bonkers o_O

Always the case as buyers remorse sets in, people start to change their minds, lose their minds, descend into madness etc etc
 
Was a lot of posts back now....... but I had put together a summary of the different finance options and estimated impact on upgrades etc. Will re-post here.

Obviously and purchase/finance decision should be assessed by the individual, the numbers verified with the relevant lender, and affordability checked!
