Buy iPhone Air

iPhone Air models don’t have a physical SIM tray and activate only using eSIM. Use of an eSIM requires a network provider that supports eSIM and a wireless service plan. With eSIM Provider Activation, supported network providers can assign an eSIM to your iPhone digitally. If your network provider supports eSIM Quick Transfer, you can transfer the SIM from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without contacting your provider. Additionally, your network provider can provide you with a QR code or ask you to use their app to activate an eSIM. Learn more about setting up your eSIM (opens in new window).

While travelling internationally, your network provider may offer convenient and affordable international roaming options. Additionally, you can use a travel eSIM at your destination. Learn more about using eSIM while travelling (opens in new window).

iPhone models currently sold on apple.com work with compatible networks around the world, including 5G and 4G LTE networks. Check with your home network provider regarding international roaming charges, or purchase a compatible nano-SIM at your destination.

Apple accepts Apple Pay (opens in new window), most credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Gift Cards. Qualifying customers can also pay in instalments with financing options.

Some payment options may not be available for all products. Learn more about payment methods (opens in new window), as well as Terms and Conditions (opens in new window). You can call 0800 048 0408 for more information.

A Flexible Finance Account is a line of credit provided by Creation for purchases from Apple. Once opened, you can use it for multiple orders — no need to reapply. At checkout, choose to pay over time and select from a range of term options for each item, spreading the cost over equal monthly payments. Credit approval and minimum purchase are required. Offers vary by product.

If the financing plan you select for your device purchase includes an upgrade offer, you will be eligible for an upgrade benefit once you’ve made the required number of monthly payments. For example, if you choose the 20‑month financing offer, you can upgrade after completing 11 payments. We’ll send you a reminder ahead of time.

When you are ready to upgrade, simply apply the trade‑in value of your current device to pay off your remaining Creation balance. If your trade‑in device is in good condition, the upgrade benefit guarantees that its value will pay off your remaining loan balance.

You can contact Barclays on 0800 15 22 888 and make a one‑off payment to pay off your loan early.

You can also trade in your current financed device and apply the value towards your existing loan balance.

Simply purchase a new iPhone using your preferred payment method and trade in the device associated with your existing Barclays loan.

If the trade‑in value is greater than the loan balance, we’ll credit your original payment method or issue an Apple Gift Card for the remaining amount. If the trade‑in value is lower than your loan balance, you’ll need to continue paying the remaining monthly instalments.

Yes. If you change your mind and no longer wish to keep your iPhone, you have the option to return it to us for free within 14 days of receipt. The returned iPhone must be in good condition and in the original packaging, which contains all accessories, manuals and instructions. Returns are subject to Apple’s Sales and Refunds Policy.

Apple Trade In makes it easy to get credit towards the purchase of your next device. Simply answer a few questions about the model and condition of your current device, and we will provide an estimated trade‑in value. ^{Footnote ◊} If it’s not eligible for credit, you can recycle it for free.

If your device is eligible and you accept the trade‑in estimate, we will send you a free trade‑in kit with instructions and a pre‑paid shipping label. Once you receive the kit, you have 14 days to send in your device.

When we receive your device, we’ll inspect it and verify its condition. If everything checks out, your trade‑in will be complete. If the condition doesn’t match what you described, you’ll receive an email with a new trade‑in value. You’ll have the option to accept or reject this revised value.

If you are trading in a device financed by Creation, we’ll apply the value as an instant credit to lower your new monthly payments. If you’re trading in a Barclays financed device, we’ll send you the value via Apple Gift Card by email. When you pay the full amount today, we’ll credit your payment method after we receive and verify your trade‑in. And if your device is currently financed with Creation or Barclays, you can apply the trade‑in value towards closing your existing loan balance. This happens once we receive your eligible device and confirm that the condition matches what you described.

The trade‑in process can take up to 2–3 weeks.

You can also trade in your device at an Apple Store at the point of purchase. However, the trade‑in value in store may be different from the estimated trade‑in value you received online.

Both AppleCare+ and AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss are insurance products that provide 24/7 priority tech support and hardware coverage, including unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection. You can even add theft and loss protection, depending on the policy you choose. Coverage begins on your AppleCare+ purchase date.
