The store was down for me just a second ago on the app with the something in store message, came here to check posts, went back and it’s back up again (can’t order) should be going down any second now again I suspect
 
If i reserve a phone on the iPhone Upgrade Programme, can I just go to the store and pay outright instead?
 
I think I'm as prepared as I can be...

Never gone after an iPhone at launch before. I am on iUP but the earliest I could get to a store is the Sunday after. Would I be able to reserve in store for the Sunday?

No usually only for launch day ie 3/11 - you would need to check reservation stock on Sunday morning and hope for a miracle!

I don’t think I can sleep
I got to sleep but now wide awake I was dreaming about trying to order the phone and was getting stuck and confused! I think I was also trying to order advent calendars :rolleyes:
Got work stuff on my mind so now can’t get back to sleep which means I’ll toss and turn til about 5.30/6am and then fall asleep and struggle to get up. Need to be up and ready to leave as soon after 8.01 as possible :(
 
So, three options, go to bed and get about 5 hours of sleep in (yeah right), stay up playing Mario Odyssey till my eyes can’t see the TV anymore or option 3, save £300 and get an iPhone 8.

Well I have three alarms set so it isn’t going to be option 3, and who really needs sleep anyway, right?
 
my advice is only order 1 item at a time, if you get the X and a case, and then the case is delayed, they might hold your X until the case is ready!!
Yep I agree. It looks like I'm adding an accessory but that's the screen it goes to once you tap add to bag!

Can't believe I've just smashed my iPhone screen one week away from upgrading. I'm on the iUP so what's the deal with that? Do I have to get it fixed, or will Apple just charge me a bit extra when I go to hand it back and get the X? Ideally I'd prefer just to leave it cracked as *hopefully* I only have it for another week...
