Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

So if it’s being delivered is it still possible to swap it to IPP

Vodafone pricing seems pretty reasonable compared to others.

I just upgraded, £77 per month for 42GB, £79 up front. Included in that though you get free Spotify for 24 months which would normally cost £240 over 2 years.

When you take out the cost of the phone it’s only £26 per month for the contract. Not bad at all.

Extra 15% off the above with company discount makes it even better

Right, whose order has moved to shipped?

Haha reminds me I have a script that monitors order status lol. Will have to dust that off

XS Space Grey, 256GB, Friday pickup on iUP - Via App.

 

[Jinjin]

Couldn’t find how to order by IUP wanted to take the full payment then it was to late fore store collection
Ordered via delivered thou

If you reserved for store then when you picked up say you wanted IUP. I did what you did last year, at least you can have the phone dropped to your door and also been the rush at the store next Friday and pop in the following day to swap over

I feel for everyone on the Annual upgrade on EE who can't upgrade till November it isn't fair but I know it is not EE's fault. Hopefully the anytime upgrade available now will solve the problem from happening again for some people.

*ck em! I have paid this year off full price, selling my X to EE for credit. They'll give me 505£. Technically im in the same shoe, and I won't be tied to contract either in a year!

Had one and it timed out in checkout and then all gone not impressed.

 

[Jinjin]

Still plenty of stock for delivery!

EE want £78 for the iPhone Xs 256GB with no upfront cost per month and £85 a month for the Xs Max 256GB a month.

Absolute rip off. Would be cheaper buying the phone from giffgaff or doing the Apple monthly plan and getting a cheaper sim than those deals.

Don’t think so, if it’s being delivered you’ve paid for it up front.

256gb xs for iUP was hoping for Saturday reservation but they’re not available for my local stores only London??

Just got hope I pass the check now lol

Deffo think this is because of Brexit and peoples disposable income sad times

Done! That was easy thanks to this forum, all of the advice on here is stellar. Landed on Xs 256gb space grey after almost going 512gb.

In store pick up at 9am next Friday. I have never been in store on release day so a little bit apprehensive as to how hectic it will be. Do you guys think it will be easy enough to pick up a leather apple case in store or should I place a seperate order for one to make sure? I would think they'd have plenty to cross-sell but I've honestly no idea what to expect.

They will have loads of cases in stock. They always do

Yes, take it back to store and ask them to refund then buy on ip

So I first did a contract pre-order with 3. 64GB SG Max for £99 up front and £56pm for 1GB data - I would put my unlimited sim in the phone and never use that contract. However just like you guys I didn't have any issues doing it full price through apple and so will likely return the phone when it arrives.

As far as the Apple pre-order went - I was getting the offline waiting page to update- but I had already opened the order pages last night so refreshed those and no problems one Max and Hermes watch ordered for me; I even ordered a silver 64 XS for my friend (which I will be cancelling later as he was able to get on and order his own.).

I am not sure how I feel about delivery - have to make sure I am waiting at the door next Friday. The last two years I have collected but I decided why bother if I can have it delivered.

Thx at least it’s possible to swap over if the EE falls thru

 

[JamesHP]

Get in! 256gb Silver reserved for launch.

Watch is 1-8 October but seeing if I can order through Vodafone instead.

 

[ItsLeigh]

Was selecting my time slot when it said no more stock available in that store - or any store in the Midlands it turns out. In 30 seconds! I’m fuming

Wanted the IUP but had to order through Argos who ****ing knows how that’ll turn out.

Anyone get a max 64gb? We’re all gone the second I got on, plenty of smaller 64gb’s though. Will use it for a couple of weeks while checking out the max, see if I made the right decision...

 

[Mic2904]

puffff.... 2k less in my pocket

1 Xs 64GB for the missus
1 Xs 256GB for me

I am still tempted to go for the max, but will see it in the shop. I really like the size of the X, but could do with the extra storage.

Would be kindly share where you are tracking the flight please?

Sorry, my sarcasm prevailed over my seriousness

I am just torn between both. Ordered the Xs 256GB and will see the Max in store next week and maybe change my mind. I like the size of the X.
