If we are upgrading from iPhone 15 on the Barclays 0% scheme, do we cancel the old direct debit or does it just update to the new payment?
 
Does anyone know how to add the order to Apple Wallet? I clicked off on the confirmation order page, and haven't now got the chance to add it back to the wallet? 😵‍💫
 
Anyone else use Very? I usually use it and have never had any issues getting on release day. This year they are saying to preorder for delivery on the 11th October, didn’t see any for delivery on launch day!

I was all set to order with Very at the stroke of 1pm when they enabled the add to basket button but stopped when I saw the delivery date. I don't understand why they would not have stock for the 20th but maybe they will send the initial orders for the 20th, but I didn't want to take the risk so bought with Apple instead.
 
When does apple take the money from your gift card balance, sorry for repeating myself, just worried as my balance hasn’t reduced.
 
I was aiming for Apple Store collection on Mon 23/9.
I finally got through on the app at 13:08 and the best I was being offered was no collection at Leeds Apple Store and delivery between 25/9 and 30/9. Hoping that they can get the 16PM in black that I ordered to me early.

Yeah I didn’t notice it until I had it ordered was rushing out the door at the same time! Doh just seen it on the order confirmation and thought that wasn’t right!

Will see what happens may end up cancelling it next week if nothing moves and seeing if local Apple Store has pickups just next week
 
Absolutely fuming. My bank declined the payment because of suspicious activity. Which would be fine if this wasn’t the account I use to save up for my Apple stuff and it hadn’t only ever been used to purchase things at Apple.
I had that a few years back with my bank, so made sure I used Monzo this year.
 
Happened to me before. I spoke to the bank then Apple requested payment again and it went through. The good thing is you don’t lose your place as they don’t take payment until the iPhone is packed ready for dispatch. So you a few days to sort it.
They took my payment within minutes of my order.

Yes strange, especially as the pros had 20th delivery date.
 
Got right to the end with O2 switch up upgrade realised that it had desert titanium instead of Natural that I selected went to change it and the website went down 😂
 
When does apple take the money from your gift card balance
My balance hasn't updated yet 40+ minutes later but neither is my order showing on the Apple Store app (it is online though and I have my confirmation email).
I presume there is a delay updating everything due to high volume of transactions.
Either that or the phone is free!

That’s why I go for the finance these days. Have the money in the bank but they always decline my Apple orders.
 
took me 53 minutes to do the pre-order on o2...

For a major tech company that is garbage, but it's all done Desert Titanium 512Gb Pro Max :). Now to Xtreme Skins to order some skins :) and a case from Amazon lol

When they are at the ready to despatch or processing stage. This may not be until later. If you have ordered for store pick up it may be later still.
 
Placed order for 512GB Black Pro Max for delivery next Friday, then another order for the upgrade programme for collection next Friday. Will decide which one to cancel soon....?

It’s showing for me in the Apple Store app, but the account balance is still £1630, getting the new series 10 too.
 
Worse order experience for me for many years. Did the pre-pre order earlier in the week using Finance. All went through fine.

Had the Store App open on iPhone since 12:30pm. Left it open and I was still waiting 13:10. Managed to check out but delivery was now 30th Sept. First world problems for sure but see how others quit the app and got in, clearly the queuing system does not work well.
