Other UK iPhone (2017) X(Ten)/8/8+ Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

[yourmn]

Oh well, this time tomorrow our fate will be sealed

I have decided I will be ordering with EE from 8.01am and getting the apple watch series 3 in that same order. The sim only prices are too expensive to go via IUP and sim only for EE

The watch will ship as soon as it's available, maybe same day and your contract will start at that point. The phone may not ship for a while. Personally I'd wait till you have the phone, happy with your EE contract, then get the watch.

Went to my local John Lewis yesterday and they said they're getting no in store stock of the X. The guy looked on his computer to see what was held centrally and he said 700 for each capacity in each colour (I.e 2800 total). Gonna be a nightmare to get one of these I think - tomorrow we will find out!

Is that true? Trust me... that’s a lot for John Lewis this early!

 

[JamesHP]

This time tomorrow I’ll hopefully have bagged my X (no pun intended) and be on my way to Old Trafford

As a City season ticket holder I wish you luck with only one of those things

Hopefully the stars align and we all get the one we want. I’ve got it as a work from home day so I’m ready to go!

Yeah maybe, I will still need to change my number from three to EE so maybe waiting to get that sorted first wouldn't be a bad idea. I would also say just ordering the phone will be a quicker process to get it ordered so i will get one on launch

Really unsure wether to try to get an X, 64 or 256, typical Apple made a drop from my 7+ 128 which is perfect.

Both sure what to do, not using all 128 but more then 64, which is what Apple want really!

I use iCloud photo library, have top tier iCloud, it's using 35Gb on my iPhone, but suspect it would use less on a less Gb iPhone, is this what happens?

I'd have to delete some videos and big apps, and nearly then be at 64Gb but unsure really.

What are other '128Gb'ers doing for an X choice?

I'm only using 25GB so it'll be the 64GB X for me.

I just want to pre order the £1k iPhone X

When you see it written down like that, it DOES make me re-think my plan to buy one...

 

[Bentron]

Reckon the activity from carriers will begin to ramp up now. Most have only partially revealed prices, surely now is the time to see the rest!

I've seen on other threads that if you buy a phone outright, then return it to Apple and try and transfer it to IUP, then they won't give you the phone back, they would put it back into the system and need to get you a new device.

But then if they didn't have stock you wouldn't get one!

I was planning to try and get one outright and transfer but this has put me off. And I think my wife had a similar thing explained to her last year regarding her iPhone 7 when joining the IUP.

Best not to get too fancy with options on pre-order, just buy right off the bat. Cut down the “process” because each process have it’s inherited risk of either not going through, or failing altogether.

 

[iGeek2014]

Good luck to everyone who is pre-ordering iPhone X tomorrow; fingers crossed you get it sooner rather than later.

 

[cogrady84]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the payment details to a different person for the upgrade programme once it has been started?

 

[neil74]

Anyone else like me who, when the X was announced, thought “nah, too much/not this year”. Yet here I am, a day and a half away all ready to buy!

Yeh, that's me. Still not sure though, keep going through the following loop in my head...

1. 64gb is not enough for me, so it has to be 256gb
2. 256gb is £1150!!!!
3. If I am spending £1150 on a phone then I have to take apple care
4. Sh*t with apple are that is £1350 for a phone!!!!
5. I could get a new Macbook for that
6. Actually, the screen is smaller than the 8+ Face ID is unproven and no FPS will be annoying so maybe the 8+ is the better buy?
7. But, it is shiny and new, I'm a phone junkie and want one!
8. Maybe I'll settle on the 64gb one then, that is more palatable..
9. Return to point 1....

This was not the process with iPhone 7 or iPhone 8.

Those who purchased the phone out right could then return it to the store for a refund and then re-purchase the same phone using the upgrade program. Only issue is that if you fail the credit check you then have to buy the phone back again for full price or you are left without a phone.

Anyone know if there is any issues with have same Apple pay card on multiple devices?

I was thinking of setting up on my iPad as well as a backup!

No issues. That’s how it’s designed to work

You won’t be able change the name of the agreement given it’s a signed credit contract between Barclays and yourself, but you would be able to change the direct debit details of the account the payments are taken from.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to order via the Apple Store app as per everyone's recommendations. Is it better to use Apple Pay as I've just got my debit card setup and ready to go for tomorrow?

I would definitely go for Apple Pay: paying by card, even if saved, may require you to insert the security code - extra time.

Make sure your hands are super dry tho

Do I need to contact barclays/apple about that, or can I do it in my apple account or something?

You’ll have to contact Barclays about it. The agreement stays in your name though so if payments aren’t kept up with it’ll impact your credit score not theirs!

Cheers thanks - How do I select it on the Apple Store app as it still says my primary payment method is my card?

You don't - there is a dedicated "pay with apple pay" button at checkout

 

[mrklaw]

I just noticed I didn’t have Apple Pay set up on my iPad. Never bothered because I use Apple Pay in real shops, and touchID for App Store is fine. Have now added it for that extra couple of seconds saving

Roll on tomorrow!
[doublepost=1509013195][/doublepost]I remember when the white 4S came out! I ordered within the first 2 minutes and had to wait 2 weeks! Was so disappointed.

I don't know why but I'm feeling like tomorrow could be similar due to all the reports on supply constraints!

Hope apple prove everyone wrong! Atleast for us 8:01.01 pre orderers!!!
