thats less of a concern, my 6+ has lasted 3 years. So if i keep it that long the difference in value will be negligible.
Guys, need some help. I went for the IUP on my JB 7+ last year. Apparently I’m eligible to upgrade from the 15/9. How does the process actually work and how will I be able to upgrade to the X, when it becomes available.
Will I be able to pre-order for collection in store? And then go through the IUP process.
Really unsure of it all.

Just to give fellow UK buyers some context on the pricing. The Samsung S8 is currently available from Amazon at £540, nearly half the price of a base model iPhone X.

Because the pre-order is 6 weeks or so away will the networks wait until then to put pricing up?
I sold my S8 to put money by for the X kinda thinking I made a mistake, still got my trusty OnePlus 5 with 8gb ram and 128gb storage which cost me £499 (hear that apple lol)

Have to admit, I went and checked out the S8 price too.
Certainly food for thought........

Cheap £540 even with three new 100gb data plan sim £25 your looking at £840 with sim whole year.

I'm annoyed by the fact that the iPhone X comes in a 64GB or 256GB version. They should have made it 128 or 256.
Obviously that is a very good deal on the S8 but even at full price from Samsung it is over £300 cheaper than the iPhone X 64gb. I didn't see anything at that keynote today that justifies that.
Their pricing has ramped up a level in the last couple of years.
If you go to the iPhone Upgrade page on the Apple website it confirms that you can pre-order the iPhone 8 on Friday for collection from a store on the 22nd. This is the same as last year.
I think I'll go for the iPhone Upgrade program on the X.
I can already feel the money draining from my bank account!

lol yup thinking about it for a second, makes the X seem like a complete utter rip off.
Yep no good for me as I'm with O2 and they have to use the same number so need to be on the same network.
Also what's the point in series 3 without cellular. It's seems an insignificant upgrade over the series 2.

Earlier this evening I was ready to sit it out, now though having looked at the spec comparison, I'm more inclined to go for it. Will have to look at what music I take off my phone though so that i can buy the 64GB phone - that's the sticking point at the moment.
Massively deflated about the prices to be quite honest. However, I will still be purchasing the X. Unfortunately, I think I need the 256GB option but am going to have a good clean up and see if I can manage on the 64GB.
I have already locked my Envirophone price but it is only valid for 21 days. So I am going to sell my 7 Plus for £525 in the next two-three weeks and then buy the cheapest iPhone from Apple and return it before the 2 week period, and then do that again if I have to until I can get my hands on an X. I didn't want to go down this route, but having to wait until November, it would mean taking a big hit on my resale price. Usually I wouldn't mind, but with the prices of the X, I want to save every pound I can.

I wonder if you can put down a bigger upfront deposit?iPhone Payments:

Well I am happy to wait for a 256gb X but during the waiting period, the trade in value of my 256GB 7 plus will suffer.
lol, You can purchase a Note 8 for £869 + Galaxy s8 for £540 +£1409 Probably some Quidco cashack too
or purchase a iPhone X 256GB For £1149 + Applecare £200 + £1349
you do the maths. lol
