Yes, it's a max plan, so full speed and the additional countries. Already discounted so you cna't add another.

I just phoned, selected the wanting to leave option, asked about the two max plan options, they read them out to me.

ok thanks, I will give them a call tomorrow. the 40gb plan is £25 but £22.50 for existing customers, does the max version of this that you were offered cost the same?

They are 20GB/£25, 40GB/£30 with the discount already applied. I tried getting them discounted further but had no luck.
 
Noticed something different on the Xs Max leather folio case. The stitches for the credit card slot have moved. They’ve moved a little forward. Now can’t slide my Times voucher in as before.

I'm looking at cases for the XS Max.
On the 6 plus and 8 plus I had the Apple leather case. I'm thinking I want something different but no idea what to get from the many out there.
Needs to not be too bulky and to look good.
Suggestions please?

How much data do you guys use my iPhone X turning up to 1 years now shows 2.5TB since last year November 23rd 2017.
That with 3uk all u can eat package I switched off WIFI.
Damn!

I’m only on around 30GB

I’m on Sky mobile’s 10GB/month rollover and have about 110GB in the “piggy bank”. If it wasn’t for the rollover part I’d probably just keep mobile data on permanently but I really like the idea of saving it up (I guess that’s how they get you) so try and use mobile data as infrequently as possible.

How many of you are planning on slapping a screen protector on your new iPhones?
Having seen the number of cracked iPhones people have I can’t even think about not having one on mine.

49GB in the last 2 years. Got blazing fast Wifi at work and home. Just upgraded to 100gb data a month as well as CW and O2 wouldn’t give me any less :confused:
 
One day to go guys, exciting!

I’ve preorder a space grey XS for store pick up, I’m really thinking gold would’ve been better though. I hope when I get there the gold looks naff in person. Either way I’ll love it!

The official folio looks to be a high quality piece of Apple kit, I may upgrade from my black leather case during 2019.
 
Heed the words about not collecting your reservation on the day.. had this over night from the big fruit in the sky

I guess there is no issue if you miss your time slot and turn up a bit later then, as long as you collect at some point during the day? Anyone had experience of doing this?
 
One more sleep till party time people!

The reviews I see of the new gold colour the more I want, looks stunning.

This year I am going for stealth space grey as I was too worried about the potential 'bling' factor associated with gold which isn't my bag!

I'd personally like to see jet black brought back again one year.

I personally think you’d be ok but I wouldn’t risk it if you really want it tomorrow.

I previously missed my time slot in the morning and I had no issues collecting it at a different time of the day, a few hours later. That was at the flagship Regent Street store.

I recall I just queued a bit longer. However, my experience may not be the same as others, especially in the smaller stores.

Yes I’m the same. I thought about getting the gold one but I didn’t want something with a bling factor and overstated. Plus I want my new watch to match and I also wasn’t sure about getting a gold watch for the same reason.

Exactly that, I'm buying the series 4 watch in space grey around December and do not want a clash of colours...phone & watch colour should match! Plus I need the understated look for work meetings etc.

Having said that, it looks like Apple have got it spot on with that gold colour for this year.
 
I stupidly ordered a max using the Barclays finance option that charge 14.9% APR as I wasn’t thinking haa..

I have only just seen they do apple payments which is the 20 month interest free but without an early upgrade or apple care.

Do you think if I take mine into store they can refund the phone and then the Barclays agreement will cancelled and I can ask them to move it onto Apple Payments.

All seems to good to be true though.

Thanks for the info. Definitely not worth the risk!

Oh god I have a dilemma...

Apple already pre ordered - delivery 24th to 1st Oct

Carphone Warehouse - delivery tomorrow.

Don’t know what to do
