O/T (again, sorry), but Ive just remembered that I updated a couple of my 'round the house' chargers a few months back.
This is what I replaced them with: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016LPMFUA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PHNVzbVT95WWF

Not 2017.
I opted for SE upgrade/iphone 6 re cycle.
I’ll certainly enjoy X reviews via mac rumours.
Thinking 2018 or 2019 at the earliest.
I reserved my 7 for pick at an Apple Store last year but can't remember exactly how it worked.
Am I right in thinking the stock became available to reserve every day at 8am?
I'm going to be in India when pre-order comes online this year and want to be able to collect in store on 6th. Was there a limit on when you could reserve for? Like you order today for pick up today or could it be reserved a few days in advance?

I'm going to be pre-ordering the 64GB iPhone X (Ten) in space grey. I can't waaiitt!!
Not sure wether to go for the X on IUP or buy outright.
Think I'll upgrade next year for the X replacement as hopefully be more refined/bugs ironed out/ better size (X plus?) etc.
If so then if was on IUP would be fine, however if bought outright I'm wondering if the resale will drop quite a bit on the current X, maybe the 2018 X be cheaper starting price etc...
Also half worried on trying to pre-order using the IUP that don't get in quick enough rather than a straight sale.
Any comments?

I'm going to reserve outright online simply for speed. I'm a new IUP customer and don’t know how long it’ll take to do in the app. For outright I have the X set up to speed it up a little.
As for resale - IUP forces you to take AppleCare+ at £200. So £10 per month extra. You go with IUP for the guarantee of the price you get but it’s very conservative. Usually you should get more selling privately even if you go through a reseller like envirophone.
My 64GB 6 was £619.
The first iPhone cost £249....I remember that!
It's like Groundhog Day here with all the chat re IUP and IP and how to reserve. I know it's a long thread for people to trawl back though but am bored!

You can't set up IUP in the app anyway. Only in store.
I thought you can join by going to the phones list and scrolling down to the bottom - there is an IUP entry there.
Iphone payments you can’t do in the app or online - in store only
iUP 'joining' isn't really joining, it's just reserving a phone for instore collection, where you then sign up for iUP.
How long does it take in the app? If I have to do name/address etc it’ll take too long. If it’s just 'select phone' and 'select store' it might be ok.
Tbh I can just slap it on a 2 year 0% credit card via money transfer to my current account which should be faster for me. Then keep or sell in a year.
Minutes.
App>Shop>iPhone>iPhone Upgrade Program.
From there, Join Now, select model, pickup date and time and 'payment' method (just acts as a hold, they don't take the payment, as you'll be sorting that out when you go in and collect).
Both the upgrade program (includes AppleCare and early upgrade) and the payments plan (no applecare or upgrade after 11 months) are setup Instore.
The difference is the app only has an option for buy outright or upgrade program.... it doesn’t let you select the Payment plan.
Envirofone offered me £366 for my iPhone 7, which I think is pretty good!
...that's exactly what I'm gonna do come next Friday.
Been following this thread for the last 8 pages and all I read about is something to do with an iPhone Upgrade Program, and a Payment Plan. I have looked online but struggle to see what benefits they have, especially if one could afford to buy a phone or two completely outright?
I assume the Payment Plan is just you buy an iPhone and then pay it off over 20 months with 0% interest, so say you bought 8 Plus 64GB at £799. You'd pay £39.95 over 20 months (Plus additional for apple care if its required), but can't see how Apple would allow this, there must be some sort of catch?
I am not even sure about the iUP....

Iphone payments - just 20 months interest free. Can only be done in store
IUP - 20 month interest free but you have to take AppleCare+ on top of the price of the phone. Difference is you can hand back your phone after 12 months and start again with a new phone
So if I did a 8 Plus 64GB at £799 on an iUP. What would I expect to pay monthly, or does it depend on how much you put upfront?
Prices (which include AppleCare+) are on the Apple site:
https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program
There’s a standard upfront payment - no option to vary this AFAIK
What a moron, i bet he thought they'd all sell out insanely fast and people would just pay for them. Jokes on him
Thinking about upgrading my 6 plus to a 8 plus... X screen looks smaller
Best deal i can find is -
iPhone 8 Plus 64GB on Apples 20 month 0% iPhone Payment plan at £36.50pm Then add a Three 12 month student sim offer of £16pm with 30GB Data.
Total cost over 24 months would be £1183 or £69 upfront, £52.50pm for 20 months, then last 4 months £16pm.
Also £65 Quidco cashback on the sim plan.
Has anyone found a better deal?
