I tried it for the X and got declined, similar financial situation to you...
Very bizarre it’s so hard to get approved!!

And the kicker is that even if you get approved there is no guarantee you will be approved come upgrade time, same as Samsung's too (lots of people complaining they got approved once and then declined after)
 
Never got approved with the iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone 11 Pro Max so I gave up in the end!

I even said to the apple guy I have a Barclays mortgage, Barclays Bank account, Barclaycard credit card, never missed a single payment and still the computer says no!

Maybe I need some gold bullion or shares in mars to qualify.

Brought a S20 back in March on the Samsung Upgrade Program.... click.. fill details, click.. approved... phone in hand.

That seems aggravating to deal with. In the US I haven’t got approved for the IUP and my credit score is almost at 800. I’m just going to pay outright this year and don’t even bother to try again with IUP.
 
Are you all trying to kid yourself by saying the blue is nice? don't get me wrong it looks nice but its identical to the current green they have From that photo anyway.

Will be going for the silver (white) again as looks best with the chrome edges IMO, always have it in a case either way so the white camera looks nice with the black apple leather case...tempted to go back to the saddle brown this year though..

I hate that shade of blue. I like the navy blue color better.

Someone needs an eye test lol.

Here in the UK you get a credit score too and then you get told if you get declined for credit that the score is not even used as a factor for passing the credit checks or not!
 
....problem with the colours is that the phones will be stuck in a case so you won't even see the colours?!!!

And lets be real - who is gonna use their £1000+ iPhone naked, even if they DO have Apple Care......!!!
Clear cases and bumpers work well for me...

My preference is normally the thinnest case I can find so it gives barely any protection but at least prevents scratches.

That’s what I did with my XS Max this year. I used to love cases that created bulk and made my phone look bigger than it was, but this year I used the Caseology and Totallee clear cases and don’t have much bulk, and they haven’t turned yellow yet.

I actually am looking into using a bumper along with tempered glass screen protector this year. I’ve read great things about Rinoshield.
Yeah I got one for my 11 Pro max, the best for bumpers imo. If you watch marks tech on YouTube he has a code to get a discount

take it we aren’t expecting AirTags now

Its an interesting one, I thought Air Tags would definitely make a first appearance based on the Apple event logo with circles etc.

But apparently Jon Prosser will shave off his eyebrows if Apple reveal Air Tags in the event so allegedly they're not expected!
