Took 5hrs to sort out my payment issue after the apple pay payment was declined this morning. Halifax didn't block my transaction when I checked either.

When I was finally able to update the card manually on the website it kept failing saying not authorised no matter how I tried. Tried contacting apple via the phone but they were so busy I couldn't even get in the queue, and even the web chat kept saying they were full.

Finally able to schedule a call via the support app and I had a nice person call me from Texas.

Explained everything and I gave him my card details and the payment went through first time perfectly. What a bloody nightmare to sort out. Still scheduled for a 3rd November though and it's preparing for dispatch so all is well

Vodafone emailed me offer for Iphone X:
- 26Gb data
- Unlimited minutes
- Unlimited texts
£57.80 a month + £150 upfront cost
What do you guys think?

Seems good for the amount of data.

Total cost is £1,537.20.

For comparison, the phone cost (64gb) £999 and you can get 25GB SIM only deal from Vodafone for £25pm.

Total cost £1599.

Your offer is cheaper, but you're locked in for 24months, compared to 12 months on the SIM only.

They offer 24 months warranty with Iphone X, they never did that before. I will call and see if you can get Work Scheme discount along this offer.

Lol

I’m tempted to put one on eBay... but surely they’re total scam bait no?! I just imagine I’ll get a paypal charge back a few days later, then screwed over by PayPal.

Might stick with Gumtree... maybe even Facebook marketplace (ew)

Yep, massive risk selling on eBay. Greed over risk lol

They used to all be locked phones, even if you bought the phone outright - it would lock to the first network you stuck a sim in.

That's for CPW...

That was the case, Till June of 2017. Now they all remain unlocked.

Apple offer 0% 24 month. Then pick a SIM only deal to your liking.

£999 is £41.63pm
~20gb is about £20pm

so £61.63pm

Managed to reserve one for December 9th, will Apple be releasing cancellations / more stock in batches at a certain time of day? Wondering if it's worth while cancelling that reservation on the upgrade program to try and bag one on release day?

Stores will have limited stock if you arrive early, how many hours or days you need to queue is a lottery lol

Showing as shipping in 5-6 weeks on the Apple site for all models, much better than I thought for a launch day. It's been way worse than that in the past pushing 10+ weeks.
