It’s quite a sobering thought seeing £999 sitting in my account which is just for a mobile phone.
Got a tip for us?

yeah im feeling the same...do I need to drop 1000 on A PHONE!
The money would probably be wasted on something else otherwise so at least im getting something for it, but still..£1000!
Same here and next year hopefully it will be a more reasonable price or at least some more choices available and cheaper than £999!
I just want tomorrow over with... get the £999 out of my account and let me breathe a sigh of relief! I’ve been pretty disciplined not spending this money but it’s wearing thin!
I will breathe a sigh of relief when I see the order completed with a delivery date of 03/11 or as close as possible to it.

From what I got told straight after you have pre ordered it.
I read that if you open the box they then have to issue with a new phone. So if I open the box and use it, I could then go in to the store to return for a refund and move the SAME phone onto the upgrade program (I'm already on the upgrade program)?
This was my back up option if I couldn't get a decent slot on the IUP system.
I sold a drone I wasn’t really getting enough use out of for £900 and I’ll get ~£350 for my 7 so I’m good with it!
£1k for a phone is beyond outrageous though...
I don't ever recall a new iPhone ever being cheaper than the one it replaces from the previous year.

before you order; it will show the availability when you have selected a model
No you will see before you order the estimated shipping times
This screen is for the 8+ and it’s shows when it will deliver. Hopefully we will see that showing 3rd Nov and not the dreaded ‘dispatches 7-8 weeks’

Once you see that and get to checkout does that confirm you get delivery for those dates or can it change during that process
Close and reopen - no other way I don't think

2-3 Million avaliable worldwide according to sources. I think UK will get a a couple of hundred thousand.
A source told me yesterday that the owner of Harrods has put in a personal order of 100 X's for his family members only! Not bad for some hey?!
It can change during that process too. My jet black went from 1-2 weeks at point of order to 3-4 weeks when it was confirmed. That was at 8.06!
Original iPhone dropped $200 USD mid-release, and then the 3G was introduced at another $200 USD lower from that price ($599 -> $399 -> $199 for 8GB phone; subsidized phone plan, hence, low price).
Exactly this. Unfortunately the IUP Upgrade process is a nightmare in terms of the number of screens to go through in the app so fingers crossed it’s smooth.
I only joined the party from 4. Don’t think I’ve paid less for my yearly upgrade since.
I’d hazard a guess that next year will have a price point the same size at this years X and a pricier ‘plus’ model
I would of thought we would of seen more 3rd party resellers such as www.mobiles.co.uk put on pricing now for the 10 but cannot see anything yet.
God dammit it’s the work Halloween party tonight. Need to be careful on the booze front or risk waking up at 10 tomorrow!
Tbh I don’t mind waiting but max wait time would roughly be 2-3 weeks for me. I’m just hoping everyone buys the silver one or the 256GB silver so that there’s plenty of 64GB’s left for me! Also gonna try different sites in hopes they have some available.
I'm not 100% certain but surely tapping out into Account then back into your preferred configuration should do the trick? It seems to do a reload when you do. But again, that's guesswork.
