So close? There's £200 difference between the devices of the same storage capacity
No just of selling to them. Am not sure what refurbishment really means but you do get new USB cable, earphones and that all important 12 month warranty......
Or
Option 4 - Trade in the 7 and settle the IUP finance, get the 256GB X on new iPhone Payment plan (i.e. without Applecare) and increase my payments to £54.00 per month
Pros - Shiny new X, form factor the ideal size, that beautiful screen, no storage worries,
Cons - pay £15.55 a month for the privilege, not sure about FaceID, wait till November, need to ensure you have insurance elsewhere if you cannot afford to repair your X
or
Option 5 - as per 4 but get the 64gbX on IP plan for £46.50 a month - an increase of £8.05 per month.
You might not want to trade in the phone with Apple though............
Definitely considered this, but I would get Applecare regardless and having the easy upgrade option with Apple works well for me
Decisions decisions
Well the tariffs we will see tomorrow will likely tell us a fair bit about the future prices of the iphone x
Or Option 6 - Get the iPhone 8 Plus (64gb) on the iPhone Payments Plan, which is CHEAPER than the IUP. IPP is only £36.50 a month when compared to £43.95 on the IUP.
Too many options (I know which one I'm choosing BTW!)!!!!
The iPhone 8 link takes you to another page with both sizes listed in the options.
You are over thinking this. Just make your mind up what you want and order it in the morning.
As per the T&Cs
Return of New, Upgraded iPhone After Exercising Upgrade Option. Should you exercise the Upgrade Option and subsequently return your new, upgraded iPhone under the terms of Apple’s Sales and Refunds Policy, the Financed iPhone that you traded in will not be returned to you and the New Instalment Loan associated with your new, upgraded iPhone will be terminated.
....might just have to tell the boss, I will be 'working from home' that morning!!!
The times I have collected my new iPhone at 8.01am I have been into work much earlier than normal
Just as I think about going for the X I have a doubt and again think about getting the 8 Plus instead
Can’t make my mind up
Can’t make my mind up
Try getting an 8+ for release day or close to it. You then have 14 days to try it out and make your mind up. If you don’t like it, return it in that time and you’ll still be ready for the X pre orders
...other than the price factor, I think the X would get on my nerves, without the Home button!! And then, next year when the next iPhone gets released WITH a Home button, we'll end up with the X with no Home button and it will just look plain weird!!
Just can’t see Apple back tracking. Next years flagship iPhone will not have a home button or Touch ID.
I'm getting the 8 Plus. It's got all the cool things from the X that work, and none of the "Gen 1" bits that don't
...hmm, I dunno, I tend to disagree!
The X is a one off purely because of the ten year anniversary thing.
Next years phones will probably follow suit from the iPhone 8....but then again, who knows?!?!!!
All next years phones will be OLED. There will just be 2 .... a XI and an XI Plus.
Rewatch the keynote. It’s the future evolution of the iPhone, it’s the direction of travel the company will continue to follow. No way they will fall back on the old form factor

That’s the biggest ‘risk’ in my mind. 1st gen Touch ID was hit an miss and took a few iterations to get right. But it’s the downside of being an early adopter. Risk I’ll happily live with.
That's cool dude, and if it wasn't a £200 risk I'd be there too. But my gut feeling is this is a "stop-gap" phone, a bit like the Mac Pro. Except they will update it next year lol
According to their website
Your Apple iPhone 7 Plus will come in a secure and padded box, and will include the following FREE items:
- USB cable - For connecting to a computer and charging
- Headphones – Listen to your favourite tunes
Also comes with 30 Day return and 12 month warranty.
Might not have a plug but that's not an issue as have one with my current phone. Might not be official apple headphones but never use those only my own anyway and guess might not have the lighting to 3.5mm adapter but I think I can mange the £9 cost on that......
I think that's the way I'm going. Just got to check a similar sized calculator in my the pockets of my jeans before making my mind up.I'm getting the 8 Plus. It's got all the cool things from the X that work, and none of the "Gen 1" bits that don't

Assuming you don't have a Plus currently? The other thing that's steering me to the Plus is that I like the aspect ratio of the screen. The X feels like going from the 4s to the 5
Less of a risk if you get in IUP and know you’ll hand it back in a year.
I need to run some numbers, I usually buy the phones outright but if the difference on I’ve paid after 11 months of IUP leaves me better off or close to me buying it outright and selling the phone next year might make IUP less hassle
