Changed my mind on my order. When will we be able to change or cancel our online Apple orders? It says I can't cancel mine until it goes to the 'Processing' stage - anyone know when that will be?
 
128gb Graphite Pro now showing delivery from 2nd Nov and unavailable for collection at my closest store
 
I can tell you now, BPF carried out soft searches, upon a full check they have either been referred (hence the hold up) or like you were a straight accept.
I already had the documents to sign, that were approved and said to come back and check the app today.. which I did but it's saying 'when we get the
I only know they did soft searches because one showed up on my file. I bet once the order is put through a full search was carried out and some people have been referred (a human looking at it) which is why the delay has occurred
Not sure - I have the confirmations from BPF instantly and the same when I used it the other week for a new phone too.

I have the documents, the finance details are on my order and it's saying on the email it's being processed.

The App Store app has also 'lost' some straps I've had on order and on their way to me so I'm expecting this to be a glitch.
 
12 in white preordered for delivery next week. £16pm after trading in my 11 for £400 (after settling finance for £250) which is a result

considering a MagSafe charger but I’d like to hear impressions on how it feels - I would use as a bedside table charger but don’t want it too hard to remove so it pulls the charger off the table each time

Also my order history isn't showing online- so it's clearly a website thing
 
Well, pre ordering certainly was a bit messy this year.
But I managed to get one gold iPhone 12 pro 128g for pick up on oct 24th... I was just a little bit to slow for the 23rd...
At least I won’t have to stress it out on Friday trying to make that appointment after work...
 
I thought I'd pre-ordered a Mini and a Pro Max with my carrier, and it turns out I've pre-registered to go through this pre-ordering process again in November and place an actual order. I sat around for an hour to do this today without properly reading the marketing materials our carrier sent me. 😂

What do you have to take to the shop when you’re giving your phone back with IUP just the phone that’s it?

Yes. My wife upgrade to an 11 from a Xr a couple of months back. We took in everything; phone, box full of unused accessories. They only wanted the phone itself back. They checked condition, checked the serial number against the one registered with IUP and that was it.

I’d take everything to be on the safe side. Better to take them and not need it than vice versa. And chances are you’ll leave with the adapator, lightning cable and EarPods. Unlike this years phones.... 🤪

Carphone Warehouse has a contract for regular 12 in all colours which works out at 771.75 with 20GB data for 64GB (so cheaper than the phone itself) or £819 for 128GB version (£50 Topcashback available potentially making it even less). Seems like another misprice like Amazon. They had Pro model for £987 as well.

That was messy for me, says 28th October -2nd of November. May cancel when I can and rethink this.
 
Currently booked in store-collect for 23rd Oct.

Is it normal to go the order on hold for store pick-up? I hope so as it is not like home delivery with tracking provided. Just concerned that it will slip over and could not get my hands on launch day.

What an absolute shambles trying to order through the app. 50 minutes trying to use Apple Pay that kept failing and not giving me an option to use alternate payment method. Shipping had slipped to 9th November at this point for 128gb Blue 12 so I’ve been able to sort store pickup in Birmingham for next Saturday.
 
has anyone bought sim free from carphonewarehouse? are they worth using? they still seem to have launch day stock- I couldn't make my mind up so I missed out from apple!
 
Has anyone ever traded in a device with apple? I thought previously it was an apple store credit but now looks like they automatically apply credit to your payment method - the offers less than a couple
Of other trade ins (although this could
Change by the time max comes out which I’m planning to buy) but wonder if it’s easier with apple direct.

Kind of want to just cancel the Amazon order now so I don't have to run the risk of them taking the money then faff about waiting for them to refund.

Anybody else already just cancelled? I would say looking at their terms its almost a cert they're going to cancel the orders due to mispricing, although I know if I do they'll end up honouring it 🤔

Would be a bit silly to cancel, you'd kick yourself if they are honored. Just wait and see, I am sure it wont be long before they cancel them, if they are going too that is.

No, I put it on my other credit card, which I normally only use for petrol and groceries and clear in full! I can wait to see if they honour it.
 
Just shows you. The App is not always the quickest way to get your new iPhone.

Does it mean that PC/laptop browser works better? I was back and forth in app and luckily get 23rd in-store collect.
I need to repeat this cycle for missus’s Max order on Nov 6th.
