Any chance I can get some advice from you guys?

I've got an X reserved to pick up Friday, and I'm currently enrolled on the iUP with my 7+. Currently, if I sell my 7+, I'll get enough money back to pay off my 7+ loan (plus a bit extra).

Do you think I should do this? Will this cause any problems on Friday, for example will they wonder where the phone is?

It should be fine, however I'd just trade in for the new phone personally...cleaner that way...unless you're taking >£200 then what's the point really...
 
Also, is there anyone else on here that reserved for pick up (but hasn’t paid), I.e for iUP?

I did it through the reserve page rather than through my upgrade option on my account.

But got the reserve page up at 8.01 and my confirmation of my reservation at 8.01!

Same, though 8:04. Chose 11am slot as hopefully it means less chaos and queuing.

They won’t ask and won’t care. The agreement is with you and Barclays not you and Apple
If you think it’s worth it for he little extra you’ll make them go ahead but don’t forget you’ll also get 50% back for the unused AppleCare.

Is this true about the Apple care? So if you upgrade each year you get half the value of the Apple care back? That basically pays for the next deposit if so
 
Wanted to get the Apple Silicone case, but the fact that the case doesn't have protection for the bottom lip put me off getting it. Don't understand why 3rd-party case makers are able to do so but not Apple (while ensuring that it can be plugged into the Apple dock connectors etc.)
 
Ordered the blue one, currently preparing for dispatch. Pick up in store on the 31st October
Ahhh thats so frustrating the cases arent in my local store until the 7th!

Its surprisingly okay, not a scuff on mine and I only use these cases since unboxing to selling a year later. I even dropped my iPhone many times from heights and it just bounces never smashed or chipped
 
They will be there - but in store stock isn't available until Friday, so it's showing the time they would ship to store for collection.

Come Friday morning, I'd imagine every case will be available in every store - at least for a while.
I didn't want to chance it because my store last time didn't have any for ages or a full colour selection

I think Apple have done it that way to make swiping up from the bottom of the screen easier.
 
Got my order for pickup on the 3rd, excited.

I had to buy it outright because all the slots to sign up to iUP were gone.

Can I switch into iUP instore when I pick up? And what’s the process? Do they refund your payment and set up the payment plan?

Are you 3rd? Im 13-20th

If you take the upgrade option, then you’ve only paid 11/20ths of your AppleCare plan and so no refund.

If you pay off your plan, then yes you can get a refund on the AppleCare as it’s no different to AppleCare bought outright on day 1.

Some are suggesting selling your device, and using those proceeds + the cancelled AppleCare refund to pay off the outstanding loan. Then staring again with a new IUP.

I would also like to know this!
 
I was late to the CPW "party" and only ordered around 11:45 but as I say, they're still saying the 3rd for me. They did contact me yesterday as my CC company blocked payment but that's all sorted now. I too still have an Apple order for the 13th so if they mess me about I'll just go with that.

Unfortunately not. My order is delivery 13th - 20th Nov. Still a bit peeved that I did not manage to secure delivery on 3rd Nov (damn that Apple App!). I have been checking my order status & this thread frequently (well more like obsessively!) since Friday, in the hope that there may be a sign of delivery estimates improving...not holding out much hope, but you never know.

Same boat am afraid:rolleyes:
