The us sales tax would also need to be added depending on the state.
Yes I’m going to go for IUP. Given the missus my JL order and I’ll wait a few more days for the 13-20. Unless I can reserve one before.
It’s for the same reason. Upgrade seems easier and the ability to see stock that ‘regulars’ can’t is a plus.
Hi all, There’s a lot of talk / hope of apple pre orders being bumped on this thread, is this wishful thinking Or does apple have a history of bumping dates on iPhone launches over the years. Just asking this is my first try at getting one so close to launch....
Oh yeah forgot about Americans and not including sales tax
Yeah I'm probably going to go to store like you and upgrade it. The one concern I have (as well as getting rejected because of some stupid mismatch on my credit check) is that when September 2018 rolls around we won't have fully paid it off, so will the IUP preorder be as simple as it was for people this year.
Does anyone have any experience of doing a preorder when their IUP isn't fully paid off, is it just as simple as if it was paid off?
Anyone have a recording of the process on preorder day? I found this:
You could book an iUP upgrade today on your iPhone X if you wanted. It would just warn you you're gunna have to pay an additional ~£700 in store.
So yeh - just as easy as if you have paid it off, you'll just make it up the difference in store
Well I've been reading these forums for weeks and thought I'd share what has been happening here. I'm in the 13-20 November group because I had an awful pre-order day:
- First I was online before 8am on pre-order day and was armed with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
- Couldn't get on the app or the website until nearly 0810 and by that point I was going mad
- Then I got onto the website on my Mac only for Apple Pay to screw up
- Tried Apple Pay a second time and noticed my saved preferred address didn't show and wouldn't let me add it
- Then decided to go to credit card only for my Apple ID password to flake out - my saved version in Safari somehow got corrupted.
It was stressful but I think I got lucky to get the date I did to be fair. But the fun didn't stop there:
- On Saturday I was in quick on John Lewis and had a nice 256GB SG in my basket only for the website to enter the twilight zone and take me around in circles, ultimately I never got to the checkout page for nearly 40 mins and none left.
- I also managed to grab one for pickup in an Apple store only for the apple website to route me back to the store instead of confirming delivery. By the time I repeated the process they were gone.
- I then got one from Argos and was delighted to have paid for it and got order confirmation only to get an email a few hours later saying - yeh, you know when the website said we would deliver Monday 6th, well that's not going to happen, so I just cancelled that.
So here's hoping the 13-20 date moves forward and hopefully ships this week!

Oh okay, do you know how it works with this head-start preorder thing they did?
So it seems like you agree to pay off the remaining and then at 08:01 on preorder day you just hit a submit button or something?

That was US only. Here you'll just have to use the upgrade system come next release.
Oh annoying. How does that work on preorder day(sorry for all the questions haha)?
Same for me - an age for the store to come up with 13-20 left. Then TouchID ironically wasn't working so took a couple of extra seconds.
I actually got one in my basket at John Lewis about half an hour after they opened their orders without actually planning to get one, I stupidly thought was too good to be true so didn't go through with it because I didn't want to sacrifice the money incase Apple was going to ship my pre order soon.
Then yesterday I had exactly the same, had it for pickup with the time etc and got sent to the home page instead of a confirmation. Just to stick the knife in a little bit further a banner came up saying I could reserve an iPhone 8 for collection immediately haha.
I've never not been able to get something at launch if I really wanted it. Xbox 360, wii, PS4, Multiple iPhones, Macs, iPads, the Apple watch etc but this is beating me right now.
Barring a few minor details, I’ve had virtually the same experience. Apple, John Lewis, Argos.
Ironically, in the immediate aftermath of getting my original order in I was delighted with Nov 13-20 given all the hype about constrained supply
If you wanted me to do that I wouldn’t mind.
If need your name and email address and store preference and you’d get get the confirmation. Are you london based?
Strangely enough my friend got the same email after being told it would deliver Monday. He was told it would be between 8-24th. He just received a yodel tracking reference from Argos for delivery tomorrow.
Despite the Argos delivery tracker stating it had shipped it never materialised (unsurprisingly). It still says it is due to arrive yesterday...not the most professional outfit in hindsight. I'm keeping my order with them as well as my 13-20th from Apple and just waiting to see which arrives first. I couldn't get on the JL website on Friday and 0600 has been a disappointment twice now, holding out hope that sometime this week some of us may have some better news!
Yeah, I go through Stratford each day so that would be my preference but I could probably leave work to get to the other stores if need be!
Drop me a PM with your details and the device you want and I’ll go ahead and keep an eye out. There’s a SG 64gb in Stratford if you are interested.
