How they manage to get away with these price hikes is beyond me, seeing the £ recently gained traction against the $
Using a iPhone 7+ 256gb as a basis for Vodafone it costs £74 a month with £100 up front for 32gb which is £12 more a month than what I am paying now, so I reckon it will be closer to £78 a month with possibly the same money upfront.. *ouchies*
Why add the cost of AppleCare to that? Do the Samsung phones come with free insurance?
$999 is £753, add VAT and you get to £903. So no way it would be £799 but it should have been priced at no more than £919
I don't remember VAT being such a big factor on other launches and with other products when comparing US to UK pricing? Obviously the £ has took a battering due to Brexit but it's not as bad as the parity pricing Apple have used for the UK.
go bezel-less next year & is the X model a one off or work in progressSo embarrassing for Apple to say that we have to wait 2 ****ing months after they announce a new product
Shows there must have been some truth in the rumours of production difficulties with the X.
It's just a bigger screen, is it really that difficult

I'm so torn between the 8+ and X. Help a brother out
Signed up for the iUP lat year with a 128GB Jet Black +
I have 9 months left to pay so roughly £400, Gonna pay of the loan and sell the phone on envirofone (£454) and then am thinking of signing up for the iPhone X 256GB using the monthly payment programme £54 a month. Any one else thinking of doing the same?
I feel like the upgrade programme is a bit irrelevant now and also in the UK we don't need AppleCare with consumer law you can normally get stuff fixed/swapped over if you know the right thing to say in store. £54 a month is an extra tenner from what I'm currently paying a month so not a massive deal!

....no it doesn't?!
When I click on 'Join', this is the next page.
The 'Select' button is still obviously greyed out until Friday but I can't see anywhere within the app where it says only available in store?!
Gonna sit this one out. no 128GB option is a deal breaker for me. I have no need for 256gb, and 64 won't cut it. Ordering a replacement battery instead for my 6s Plus launch day phone!
My contract actually does come to an end this month too. Switching to tesco mobile from o2 (since o2 is the only decent signal around here). £12.50 a month with 6gb data. win.

Well the X looks really nice and I can easily live with 64GB but they must have alienated so many buyers by omitting a 128GB version. £1149 is mind boggling and £999 isn't much better. Well I have 6 weeks to think about it as I'm definitely not getting the 8+ when my 7+ serves me well enough.
It only says 'Exclusively at Apple Stores' on the first page - is that what you're referring to because it doesn't say anything, anywhere else?!
Why would there be a 'Join Now' button in the app then if you couldn't actually do it via the app?
I agree about the 128GB option being removed. From a business perspective it's great as people not quite sure on how much space they need will always plump for the larger capacity. Ethically; it's terrible and with the ludicrous UK pricing, I think Apple are taking the piss.
