Going to go with CPW for my order. Can’t afford it upfront and don’t really mind getting it on contract. FAO they told me that they are able to deliver to my place of work which is handy.

Also they advised me to phone as soon as the lines open etc. As he said there were like 12000 outbound calls to be made for pre orders.
 
Thanks it was the debit! Changed now. Not sure wether to delete that other one in case? Just wired I don't want it off my debit card.

Also is it the same as paying for it with the credit card as if type in security number etc?

Deleted my debit from Apple Pay after adding the credit card. Not risking anything.

I believe the 3 numbers are not required . The card is already linked to your phone which was given its own id on registering, That’s why you must always register your phone as lost on iCloud if you loose it, as your card details are then deleted according to Barclays anyway
 
...not to put people off from the iPhone X and I'm not saying its an ugly phone or anything but I am SO glad I went with the iPhone 8 Plus at the beginning!

All the stuff I have seen and read state that hardly any apps will have support, at launch, for the 'notch' area at the top of the phone - meaning that these will just look plain ugly on the iPhone X.

This link also explains that devs won't have supported the notch area for their apps:

That’s because apps have not been updated for the X yet. You’re looking at an app which has not been specifically designed for the X layout. All these will be updated by the 3rd. No self respecting UI/IX designer would stand for that.

Just went on to Envirofone as I'll be selling on my 6S+ 64gb. The price they give has changed over the course of today. Looked earlier, they were offering £260, now they're at £249! Not a massive change I know, but a bit annoying. My own fault for waiting.
 
Been a while since I preordered from Apple UK store so cant remember

Any chance it will be slightly before 8AM or are they really that accurate and it will be bang on??

I've held back because I'm expecting to wait more than 2 weeks for delivery and haven't got a back up phone.
 
Thought I’d join in guys, working nights tonight so will stay up so I can preorder the X. I just hope I can get hold of one. Have my apple store app all set up.

Any one know if I can buy 2 as the misses wants one too.
 
Please someone help? :S

00:01 Thursday, Pacific Time (PT) is
07:01 Thursday, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

But isn't it always 8:01AM for us in the UK?
 
Is anyone sick of all the doom and gloom surrounding the availability of the iPhone 10 on preorder?

Every article is about how it will be next to impossible to get hold of, only a handful of units for retailers etc.

Shame there is not a thumb down, lol but like the free phone for the upgrade programme post earlier.,

Same. I need to know that I'll actually be receiving the phone relatively soon before sending off my current one. Just annoying to see prices slipping.
 
I've been on the upgrade programme for 12 months now with an iPhone 7 Plus and I want to upgrade on the 27th to the X. I'm worried that faffing in the checkout with iUP details will take longer than just buying the phone normally.

Could I buy it outright in via the app/website then take it to a store for a refund and then enroll that same device into my existing upgrade programme?

Is this a crazy idea?

Yes, I did this last year with the JetBlack. As long as you make it clear what you want to do then it'll be fine. They even offered people this option when they had iUP issues with Barclays last year. You simply need to complete the transaction within a couple of hours. I had my jet black open and set up and had the box with me.
 
Just got a text message from Caroline warehouse saying I’ve paid my deposit and make sure to give them a call tomorrow to reserve

But when I went into store they clearly said they would phone me on Friday

Whatever, it’ll wait until I’ve exhausted Apple options
