Yup. iPP + SIM ONLY from your chosen provider has been the cheapest way to own an iPhone over carriers contracts for a few years now. Plus you get the flexibility of trading in every year and starting again for no added cost. For me, ive paid basically the same for the last two years and had a new phone every year...
Got a tip for us?

Having never done IPP before is it straight forward is it Store collection or delivery
Going by the wording I had on my page before it saying my last payment had been made, it would suggest you’ll still be able to go through with the reservation at 8:01.I made my last payment yesterday evening , still shows outstanding payment. Guess it shouldn’t cause any problems with preorder tomorrow morning?
.....well, I'm gonna bid farewell to this thread for today - see you all on the other side, after 08:01 tomorrow!
I'll be frantically refreshing my Apple Store App on my faithful iPhone 8 Plus from 08:00 onwards, on a packed commuter train, putting in my reservation to pick up a 64Gb iPhone XS (still undecided between Silver or Space Grey ).
Good Luck people......

All in store and credit check there. Check the links so you know what id you’ll need. There have been cases of people not being accepted by Barclays so think about options if you don’t pass their requirements

Till tomorrow!
I’m having those max twangs
If I don’t succumb to them it will be a Xs 256gold, stone silicon vase, 44mm stainless steel gold with the stone sports strap.. eek
Trade in to Mazuma mobile or envirofone, whoever is offering the most at the time.
Thx I can see the requiments bank account etc no mention of any ID thou
What do you take with you
Tomorrow is gonna be fun!
Not if the website crashes and I am quoted November/December but I am trying to remain calm and positive. From experience of previous years people seemed to have more luck with the apple store app than the website.
Sorry for the stupid question but is the XS going to hold up to scratches better than the X? I just went to the carphone warehouse and the display X was in a right state and scratched to bits.
I have a feeling it’s all going to be pretty straightforward tomorrow. I can’t imagine a large proportion of those with last year’s models will be jumping on the new ones. I think the XR will be the one that’s a struggle to get this year.Tomorrow is gonna be fun!
iPhone Payments is available only at an Apple Store.
Here’s what you’ll need to bring.
Your personal information and bank details.
You will be asked to provide your date of birth, employment details, and UK home address(es) from the last three years for a credit check. You will also need your bank account number and sort code to set up a direct debit.
A valid photo ID.
Make sure you bring along your UK driving licence, or your passport and debit card.
Your current mobile phone.
If you’re upgrading from another iPhone, remember to back up your data to your computer or iCloud. You’ll also want to take note of your Apple ID. If you’re upgrading to your first iPhone, one of our Specialists can help you transfer all your data with the Move to iOS app.

But three is terrible in the city centre's max speed I get is 10meg or less doesn't bother me much as I said I don't benchmark speedtest 24/7 trying to get the highest speeds.
10meg is fine for netflix and applemusic on the go to work and back.

I agree. I think that XR is going to be this years star and the one that most people will buy. The critics seem to think so. I also think it will be a good discounted buy even 3 years down the line
