It’s all psychological- I hate credit cards, I understand the irony of the situation
So I called Apple wrt changing to Paypal as a payment type. The lady on the phone kept saying "Yes, I will change your payment to another credit card, just let me have the details". I tried to explain it twice but she wasn't having it. Gave up and just used a card instead.
When I spoke to them yesterday they said they only allocated stock after approving the purchase, weird I know. They stated they expected my order to be cancelled today. so looks like they took more orders than stock
Apple weren't too keen to help me when my John Lewis iPhone X was damaged out the box. They said I was best to go back to them in the first year. I pushed them on it since they are the manufacturer and they said I could take it to them but I'd have to go through the Genius Bar process which could take much longer. If I had bought it from Apple they would have just exchanged the device without the need for a Genius appointment.
Yes! Between 6 and 7 I think, delivery confirmed for tomorrow - I might see if I can get it delivered before I leave for work by paying extra - UK Mail for me, that's the norm I've had (Live in Kent)
Yeah me too mate I'm sure now mine has you'll see it soon!
They would have only done that in the first 14 days though. After that it would have been the Genius bar. JL would have done it for the first 90 I think.

So instead of being honest they decide to make me feel like it's my fault, having failed their checks. Shysters.
PFD yesterday evening here. Had the dispatch email this morning at 11:19, delivery tomorrow!
2 x SG256 ordered on pre-order day at 08:08!
Result which means they arrive before we disappear travelling for 5 weeks on Saturday!!

So i suppose its plus then if It breaks or it’s faulty only in my case then ( I am not planning taking Apple care never broke any of my iPhones and had 5 of them )
If I am not planning on Apple insurance then no difference I presume
Oh wow, that's come down quite a bit. Still the 2 year guarantee is pretty good. Did you manage to get it sorted?
They had a bit of stock of Silver 64GB last night. My bank blocked the transactions so by the time I'd authorised the payment they'd all gone.
