My 13-20 phone arrived today, 256GB silver 
very happy with it
very happy with itDid you just walk in store and specify you wanted t trade in for cash? Was it just the actual iPhone and nothing else with it?
What checks did they do? just accept a debit card and was it paid there and then onto the card?
I have a 7+ 128Gb and still to trade in/sell as now have my X, but haven't sorted it yet....
thanks
My 64GB SG iPhone X finally arrived today. I was in the 13-20 Nov crew.
Setting it up as we speak!

You can order online paying in full. Once it’s delivered (or collected from store) you can then refund it and sign up on IUP. Did just that with mine.
Has there been any iUP movement at all today? As in, existing queue being brought forward?
Seemed to happen once in a big batch last week but not at all since?

Walked in and said I wanted to sell my phone. They then checked the IMEI number in the database and quoted me the £400. All they wanted was the iPhone, they didn't even check it for problems or anything, I had a scratch on the screen and either they didn't notice or didn't care, they just wanted me to turn off find my iPhone and wipe the device there and then. I then had to sign some things and then I popped my card in the machine. They said it'll take a few days for the money to appear (which it did it last year when I did the exact same thing) and I left with printed paperwork and card machine receipt. Some stores might be more stringent though. But for a 7+ 128GB it was the best price I could find, CeX were offering £367, Game offered £360 and the online sites like Music Magpie were offering around the same.
Or alternatively you could stick it on eBay, sell it for £450 and pay £80 in fees.
Baffles me really how eBay still get away with charging the fees they do.
Appreciate that thanks, think I'll have to as can't find my box at mo. Looking at other forums selling could maybe get another 50-75 but as you say a lot lot hassle. Think I'll do it this week. Thanks
Can someone verify something for me, my friend has used his iPhone upgrade programme account to reserve me a phone. It says on the email he’ll have to trade his phone back in. Am I going to have any issues buying the phone tomorrow? Are they gonna refuse because it was someone else’s account used to reserve?
Sold mine at the Team Valley one. Very quick and easy, paid onto my card and cleared quickly.
Can’t answer from personal experience but have seen many on these forums and others doing what you’re proposing without issue.
Seems Apple really only care that there’s a phone reserved and somebody there to collect it.
No problem. To make it easier avoid wiping your phone before you get there. It took three people to read the tiny IMEI number off the SIM card tray!
Flicking back through the pages to see when the last influx of iUP reservations came forward.
Still can’t quite wrap my head around this order being placed 30 minutes after mine, delivery date 1 week after mine, yet your Mrs. has her phone and mine is nowhere to be seen.
Why aye man.
Btw another quick question, I have a phone reservation with iUP. Can I change in store and just by the phone sim free or do I need to buy it through iup.
Was that price for your 7 plus based on you buying a new phone with CPW or is that a stand alone price for selling the phone?
Identical to my experience. I sold my iPhone 7 Plus 256GB yesterday to carphome warehouse for £450. They literally didn’t check the phone at all. Made me sign out of find my iPhone and wipe the device etc and that was it. Super easy and will most likely be using them again next year.
I have a 64gb silver iPhone X on order thru the store for delivery 24/11 - 1/12. Just been looking at my bank account it appears that Apple have started processing Payment.
