    Vision Pro (Inside Scoop?)

    Just got off the phone with the Apple Business department at our local store. A few "inside" details not yet revealed or clarified: • The Vision Pro, despite it's Pro moniker, is currently classified by Apple as a consumer product, and thus ineligible for order through the business department...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Camping overnight on launch day still a thing in 2023?

    Do Apple Stores still have "stock on hand" for random people who lineup at the store without a reservation? I live walking distance to a store and I am debating if I want to try to wake up at 5am to line up there to try my luck at securing a 256GB Pro Max Natural Titanium one... cuz my preorder...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Launch day lines in Munich?

    I was traumatized on pre-order day (first time I wasn't able to place one), so was wondering if anyone knows how bad the lines are (typically) at Apple stores in Munich on launch day? It's 2:45 AM right now, so I need to decide whether to sleep, or to stay up and go to the store in a few hours...

    Other Will changing phone choice after IUP pre-approval mean delays?

    I'm already on the iPhone Upgrade Plan, and appreciate that it fast-tracks you through the process when pre-ordering, and even seems to help ensure a launch-day delivery assuming you order reasonably early when orders start. The other day I got my pre-approval set up for a 12 Pro, but now I'm...

    Carrier Switching carriers and ordering on launch day?

    What's the best way to order an iPhone and switching carriers on launch day? Every time I've ordered a new phone it's always been through the same carrier so ordering a new phone was always easy. Should I switch carriers before ordering or on launch night?

    Chances of finding SB SS?

    Hi, long story short, I woke up at midnight (pacific time) last Friday to pre order series 4. And straight away, backorderd 3 weeks! You can imagine my disappointment. What are my chances of getting a 44mm SB SS series 4 on launch day? At Apple? And at target? In other words what’s the best...

    Tips for Launch Day in store

    I’ve never lined up for an apple product on launch day. I’d appreciate some help for myself and others reading. First, how early should I show up? I was thinking an hour before launch. It’s a typical in-mall store. How much stock will they have? I’m getting SB SS... what are my chances from...

    Order change confirmation

    Hey guys, I am in the boat of having my iPhone ship between Delivers 17 Nov, 2017 - 24 Nov, 2017 but when I originally tried to pre order the iPhone X on Apple, I had a ship date of Nov. 3 but when I applied for the Citizen loan, I ran into an error. I immediately applied again right after and...

    Launch Timeline for Macs

    I have never paid attention to a Mac launch timeline before (only the phones) so i'm not exactly sure how the timeline for this launch will run. Can someone please inform me how the Mac product launch timelines typically look like based off previous year launches? For example, based on the...
