Paid in full for the iPhone 12 128 GB in Blue (though the iPhone Apple Store App).
Completed the purchase via Apple Pay but the money didn't exit my bank account. About a couple of hours later the order said it couldn't be completed because my payment had been rejected.
I was a bit panicked by that so I put my bank card details in again, but they wouldn't verify and it kept coming up with an error message asking me to try a different card.
My bank card expires next month but I've yet to receive the new one, so I was thinking it was either something to do with that or the bank blocking the payment as a security measure (it's not often a payment that large comes out of my account!).
I then went onto my mobile banking app to see that the payment had been taken after all (must have been while I was faffing around with the Apple website frantically), and when I refreshed the order page on the Apple website it seemed to have gone through smoothly on their end too. The order updated from 'on hold' to 'processing' with a delivery date of Friday 23rd.
How strange - I wonder if anyone else had this experience? I'm just a bit overly-concerned that something weird is happening with my bank card (Apple Pay in particular is acting rather weird lately).
