Has anyone used ApplePay to checkout for a pre order?

I haven't updated my payment method on the App Store (it has my debit card instead of credit card) saved and now the website is down!

Yh, Apple Pay is really quick and easy to use. Some people had a few hiccups last year but I think it’s because their phone numbers were missing from their account.

Really? It takes money off your quote with the service fees

Oh i didn't notice they had introduced that now. I won't be trying that then haha!

Apple Pay is usually the most reliable for me - never had an issue with it

Yeah, tell me about it. It was a nightmare and I missed launch day

Morning all! Welcome back @Jinjin

One week to go!

Store down! View attachment 2262316

This is the way!

Yes you can lock that price in for 14 days and if you need longer you simply add it to the basket and then resave the quote which resets the 14 day counter.

How do you resave please?
Trying to do that now but can’t see how

Same. Absolute trash fire last year. I’m kind of less hopeful this year, what with my card constantly being declined.

Such a rookie error on my side; didn't realise the store would go down in the morning so didn't get my pre-order ready yet - gearing up for a race at 1pm now!

Have you had 256 before? Thinking of 512 myself although I do have 2tb iCloud.

I’m sticking with 256gb, I have 100gb free on my 13 PM 256gb after 2 years of usage and with my 2tb iCloud storage it’s ideal.

Damn! How long until you sorted it? I didn’t think dates slipped that quick last year.

You'll be fine! It only takes 2 seconds to go through selecting the options

I noticed when pre preordering, applecare (with loss and theft) was £2 cheaper each month if taking the 0% barclays loan option.

£9.99 per month if taking 24m 0%
£11.99 per month if paying outright.
Is this normal?

 

[Jinjin]

Pre order day!!!!

Stuck for a case this year as the prewoven feels like the cheap felt you get in a French cars glovebox.

Can’t see it lasting at all and for £59!!

I'll be on apple support's case if it starts to fall apart!

Yeah I think it was when they released iOS 16 it did something to the phone number and I couldn’t enter it. So I missed launch day, but I managed to secure one at my local Apple Store on the Saturday.

It took me about two hours to sort it out, and by that time dates had slipped. I’m still having issues now with the app because it keeps removing my postcode even though I update it and save it.

Add your saved quote to the basket and then you’ll see the option to resave it again.

Yes, I noticed this — how strange 🤔 I believe the £11.99 continues until cancelled, whereas the £9.99 option is timebound, so not sure if it’s linked to that?

Speaking about colors, I'm still on the fence... ugh, first world problem !

In fact, if you work it out the ACTUAL PHONE is cheaper with teh finance offer then it is if you pay outright.

Cheaper by about 0.02p
LOL!

I don't know what it is, but the excitement about the pre ordering process and getting a new iPhone upon launch just hits different.
Once it arrives and it's set up, I'm always like 'meh, more of the same, I shouldn't have bothered' - but for now the excitement is building!!! lol

 

[Theozz]

Which ones are you torn between?

Black (but is it really THAT black, my last black iPhone was the 8+. I'd like it to be really black or not grey-ish) or Natural (but is it silverish titanium or piss-tint titanium?)

 

[Matthew.H]

Quite looking forward to a relaxed pre-order today. I'll be out of the country for release date so will be waiting to get the phone delivered around the 29th. Does anyone know if you can choose a delivery date later than the latest available at checkout?
