You can, I did exactly that last year. Bought outright, delivered by ups, straight into store, refunded and then put straight back onto IUP
Mine should have been £98 but there was a £5 discount which I’m sure you will get too
Also a number of people did similar last year too for the X
edit: just found my post with the details from last year: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ispatch-thread.2065306/page-571#post-25432823
Agreed, the genius last year told me I could do it. It’s just I never got back to store in time to do it
A lot of people talking about cases etc but no one talking about D-Brand skins.
Yes, they don't give the same protection as cases, but they are way cooler and make your phone look dope.
I have pre ordered the Camo skin for the Max.

Me too two years ago when all the Barclays Finance servers went down - I paid in full and then came back the next day, refunded, and then did it on iUP
Couldn’t have just a skin on my phone I don’t trust myself haha.
Do the edges eventually start peeling up? What are the’re lifespan?
I ordered the Slickwraps version as they are the original
Hasn’t been sent yet though
I fancy one of these Electric Tide Otterbox cases from Apple, https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/produ...action-series-case-for-iphone-xs-max?fnode=99, but they’re not available for a couple of weeks, so I picked up a Jasbon silicone case until I can get to my nearest Apple store.
Not sure of the lifespan but the product is really high quality. I haven't had any issues with mine yet and I've had it on a few months.
Anyone on EE ugraded from an X to an XS/XS Max? If so, did you keep your handset or planning to send it back?
I’ve read on EE forums that EE are charging people £310 to keep it

I’m really struggling with what to do this year.
Was planning to go IUP with Xs Max 256 (got a reservation for launch day) and put my Three sim in which I pay £20 a month for 100GB. However, the same phone on contract is £69 a month with Three (£100 up front) for unlimited data. This is roughly what the IUP would be each month bar pennies and then add the £20 I currently pay and it’s becoming expensive.
I know the IUP includes Apple Care and in 12 months I can hand it back and get the next one out. But I could sell the one I get from Three and pay the contract off.
Maths tells me taking a contract with Three for £69 a month makes the most sense. Am I missing something?

Yes. AppleCare Plus. These phones are so expensive AC+ is advisable. Plus you can claim back any months not used. I took it out last year (£199) but am getting back £107 that I’ll put towards AC+ for my iPhone Xs Max.
I use a case and have insurance with my bank so not sure AC+ gives me anything
Three is terrible for speed hence why they are selling it very cheap EE the way forward for the experience trust me.
If it had been just a couple of £s extra I could have seen me switching. But it’s £93 a month for the equivalent so an extra £24 a month. That quickly adds up over 24 months.
I have been with a Three for years now and happy with the signal and speed where I live (NE).

I was offered by EE for upgrading to pay £680 up front for 256 max xs and then £53 a month for 20gb max plan which would be a £5 discount a month. I can't make my mind up. How did people get £100 of buying from very?
