Barclays finance is guaranteed 0% for the period set in the terms (usually 24 months, unless you break the rules) and set amounts of money each month. You are allowed to pay off early fully or partly.

0% credit card has an expiration of that 0% offer after which you will be paying interest as set in your terms. You can pay off early or pay variable amounts each month as long as you keep paying the minimum in time. If you already have a 0% credit card you will avoid the credit check and loan in your credit report for Barclays finacning.

Assuming you already have a 0% interest credit card with a long interest-free period:

Main advantage with the 0% interest card is you're in more control over the repayments. So one month, you may only want to pay the statement minimum, whereas another month you may want to pay much more. So long as you're fully paid up by the time the interest-free period runs out, then you're good. One needs financial self-discipline for this approach!

Compare this with the Barclays financing, where it's a set amount each month. Making additional payments does not reduce future monthly amounts - it only shortens the repayment period. Barclays is over 24 months, whereas the 0% credit card is whatever interest-free period you've managed to obtain. Recent searches I've done for myself show very few offers longer than 16-20 months, with most options at 9-12 months. I compare this to several years ago when I was inundated with 25 - 28 month options.

Barclays will do a hard search, whereas your existing 0% card will have already had a search done against it when taking it out initially. If it's a new card, then both Barclays and the new card application will incur a hard search.

Thanks both. Yeah makes sense. I always pay off after a year anyway (paid off my 14 Pro Max last week). 24 months with Barclays and have interest free with CC until February 25 so doesn't really matter. After todays shenanigans I've ordered 2 15 Pro Max's so will cancel one. Was just thinking if there was any advantage with one over the other.

Well that was an absolute shambles, never had a problem before this was the worst experience I’ve had!

I had the app up on my phone and iPad plus the website gets on the app at about 1:06, went through my pre pre order pressed confirm pay and all I got was the spinning loading circle for ages and then I was timed out. After that I just kept getting error messages on everything else I tried, wouldn’t load my pre orders, wouldn‘t let me create a new order, then couldn’t connect to the App Store. 😫

At about 1:30 I managed on the website, originally wanted a White 256gb PM but the delivery dates had slipped to when I’m not here and none available for pick ups so I ended up getting a Black 512gb PM that I can pick up from Meadowhall on the 22nd. I’ve got a watch coming on the 22nd too so my other half will stay in for that.

I thought I’d have a good chance getting the white judging by the poll. 🙄

Can anyone refresh my memory about what happens the day before pick ups? Do we get a notification saying it’s dispatched or already there? I usually just get delivery.

Exactly the same story for me, 1:30pm here too etc (albeit I got pickup on a white one after originally wanting natural).
Pre-pre order kept hanging and then saying error occurred, in the end I just did it from scratch.
 
i finally got a notification and email telling me there is a problem with my order.... yeah no **** i've been trying to fix it forever now.

I find it hard to believe we've never had someone on this Forum who works for one of the big EE/o2/CPW etc who can let us know what it really means and how true it is when someone on the phone to you says 'yeah you'll get it release day'

As in do they actually have a live stock count etc up in front of them or are they just told to say that etc

Has anyone please got an EE discount code they'd be willing to share with me? Looking to do an overdue upgrade from an iPhone XS Max.

Considering all reputable retailers have sold out for the first batch of preorders for 22nd, I find it hard to believes CPW can fulfil these orders still for the 22nd on all variants…

Yes, never put your trust in CPW; they are charlatans. They have a special ability to lead customers on down their golden path to the promised land of new iPhone glory.

At the eleventh hour you'll receive a blunt email into junk mail saying your 15 Pro Max wil now be delivered in 2025 or similar!

It is better to hold off & wait for new Apple, John Lewis or Amazon stock.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this was Apple's first iPhone release.

now I'm getting this when trying to pay

Something went wrong.​

There was a problem with your request. Please try again.
 
It is strange how they put on pre-orders at the same time, for the entire world.

You'd think their servers would cope better if they staggered pre-orders. eg, 1pm local time, for each individual country
 
Just placed second order with EE.

iPhone 15 Pro 128GB Natural Titanium
25GB @ £49 pcm (Using Gifting Data as backup) with F&F
Upfront Cost £50
