Of course there will be queue's, stores have a limit on how many people can enter the store. If you think you can just walk into the store on a year where they've refreshed the iPhone design, good luck to you.
Got a tip for us?

Cool, makes sense. I knew you'd change your mind though lol. Which model you going for?
Normally you could but this year is obviously very different hence why you need an appointment even to browse which is ridiculous!
Having a slight change of heart, going for the iPhone 12 Pro 6.1 even though it does not offer me anything really over the 6.1 Max the resale value in 12 months will likely be higher than the 6.1 Max and with the value of my S20U plus I am in credit with my Barclaycard by £400 it would literally cost me nothing to change phones.
Exactly. If you’re paying outright there’s no additional preparation needed
Yup agreed! I only use the big players like magpie and Mazuma
I posted a link earlier but there is some description to the process. Seems like they’ll just credit the amount back to you
I go past my local Apple store regularly and there are queues to get in, Limits on people in store and temperature checks etc
Give ReBuy a go... they have really good reviews hence why I will go with them as they pay the highest value at the moment out of the others.
If, worst case, there's a 2 week nationwide lockdown starting on the 24th October (a.k.a. the circuit breaker), wouldn't that put that right at the beginning of in-store collections for IUP customers picking up the 12 Pro and 12's?
I'm aiming to move my IUP account to a 12 Pro Max in November, but don't feel particularly keen going in-store for collections when a good few people will do the same during launch weekend. Just doesn't feel right that (presumably) Barclays is insisting that credit checks for IUP is done in-store.

Never heard of them. I locked in with magpie last week so no one will get near the £640 I’m getting for my 11pro 256
I don’t see a issue going in store personally, I feel it’s worse going to a busy supermarket where peeps are picking stuff up and then putting it back on the shelves.
Only bummer will be if the Apple store closes

This is the blurb from the Apple site
Here’s how Apple Trade In works.
Important: If you are currently enrolled in the iPhone Upgrade Programme, please upgrade your device through that programme and do not proceed with Apple Trade In. Check your upgrade eligibility status
1. See what your smartphone is worth.
Answer a few questions to get your estimated trade-in value. If you pay monthly, we’ll apply the value as instant credit to lower the monthly payments of your new iPhone. If you pay in full, we’ll credit your payment method after we receive your trade-in.
2. Get it ready to trade in.
After you buy your new iPhone, we’ll send you a trade-in kit and an email with instructions on how to prepare your smartphone for trade-in.
3. Ship your smartphone within 14 days.
Once we receive your smartphone, a team will inspect and verify its condition. If everything checks out, your trade-in is complete. If your smartphone doesn’t match the condition you described, you’ll receive an email with next steps.
If you choose to pay in full and the value of your smartphone trade-in is more than the cost of your new iPhone, you’ll receive an Apple Gift Card by email with the remaining amount.
Neither had I but looked on trust pilot and they have excellent reviews.. they don’t have your 256 on there just the 64 and 512..
