I really hope my zagg stand has the one without the cutout. I feel that the cutout would be so annoying when interacting with the island.

I’ve finally caught up to every post, except to fall behind tomorrow again

Shessssh, it took you all day man. Don’t leave us behind. 😝

I see that as one way that they will get you. I already set my eSim up and hopefully it’ll transfer to the new phone and I won’t have to use Customer service. Hopefully I don’t see the fee because I already have to pay it for the S8 Ultra.

I don't know if this is helpful as I have AT&T. But, when I switched from my iPhone 12 (on eSim) to my iPhone 13 Pro, the eSim transferred over with no problem. I didn't have to do anything special. Or anything at all, really, other than the usual transfer during phone setup.

Wow we are already into 5K post...

That is a lot! Very admirable that you did that. 👏

Last year i had to get a new SIM card put in for the 13pro launch day and they tried selling me a $50 screen protector lol. Didn’t get charged a set up fee but they really tried to get me to buy something

They have to hit that sales quota!

The folks in the U.K. will hate us. They are going to be up soon. Normally they are up in the lead.

Oooo what do you think? I’m considering that very model. How’s the grip/slip feel? Do the sides seem weak like they won’t hug tightly? How’s the bulky/thin vibe? Feel encouraged to answer or not answer any of those questions

I haven’t picked it up from the Amazon locker yet. I don’t feel like leaving out the house right now. I’ll know tomorrow for sure

Hehehe good 😈

For me, the citizens one email comes a couple of days before delivery. Not to make you feel bad, but I have now moved to “preparing for shipment”. Some folks get that quickly, others much later. But I hope it gives you some confidence that these things tend to work out. 🤞

Well both of mine are at "processing" which is all they will get to because I am picking mine up.

Yes it really did. Right after the keynote the pages started flying and I was desperately trying to keep up. With my work it’s hard until go on break or an off. Sunday will be just packages, so I can catch up some more.

I found a couple options still available for release day delivery or pick up so far. Problem is, she won’t tell me if she wants the pro or pro max 🤣 I thinks I might end up camping out at the Apple Store this year even though mine is being delivered on launch day. Oh well. At least I get to take the day off of work.

I‘m safe for another year at least. He still loves his 12 Pro. 😂

I hope it’s the same way for Verizon. I don’t want to pay $35 twice. I understand for the watch because I don’t have a watch line which is only costing me $5 by the way.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

For anyone on Verizon, are you able to add Apple One yet?

I’m going to wait until I get the 14PM set up first, but I was told I could get it now.

It kills me the Apple One plan wasn't a mix n match option :-( I had to forgo because I'm two iPhones and two Pixels and switching the entire account didn't make sense.

I was also going to order the clear case from Apple, however then I remembered when I got it for my iPhone 12. That was the worst apple product I’ve ever bought it was so slippery it was even hard to hold.

Are they still that way?

When you switched to esim on Verizon, did they do it over the phone and did they charge you? I wonder if they’ll also charge to switch esim to the 14…

This was theeeee absolute most difficult pre-ordering experience I’ve had…and I upgrade every year. The TL;DR is that I still managed to get what I wanted, a Dark Purple 128gb 14 Pro with release day pickup. The too long version is that it took forever, and I currently have 2 orders for it. I did the pre-pre order through the app so I could speed through my worst-case scenario order if needed, and it turns out I did. I had 1) military discount, which you can’t get through the app (nor can you use it with Apple Card financing, but I’ll come back to that), and 2) a $354 Apple Account balance that I wanted to use. Well, my first attempts were through the website, which I couldn’t even access until ~8:15EST. While waiting for that, I tried several times to complete the “Get Ready” I’d done through the app. Kept getting to payment and it failed authorization…for all 3 methods I attempted. One I could understand (my Discover tends to err on the side of caution and send a text asking if I attempted a transaction), but the other 2 should have had no problems. One was my Apple Card that has a zero balance (but is still active)! Apple Pay wouldn’t work. Credit cards wouldn’t work. When I finally got in through the app…same thing. Finally about 8:50 I was able to get it through in the app; not ideal as it was the monthly financing which I didn’t want to do because I couldn’t get the $100 mil disc nor use my Apple Account balance. But I’d rather do that than nothing. Even after placing that order, I tried several more times to place an order through the military storefront and that FINALLY went through about 10:50. And still for Sept 16 pickup. That was my ideal situation as I was able to get the $899 price and use my $354 balance. The other piece is that we will be traveling; we check out of our hotel in Orlando that day to head to TN. The earliest I was able to get for pickup by that point was 2:45pm but I did order a watch yesterday with an 11:00 time slot so hopefully they’ll take pity on me and give me both then or my husband is gonna be PISSED that we’re not at least 3 hours down the road by then 😂

The struggle continues!

Are the orders that are placed for delivery already processing? Mine still says Order Placed, but I placed it as Pick up in store.

I would have preferred Apple TV+, 2TB Cloud, and Music bundled with Disney+

That doesn't sound bad to me either. At least with the Pixels I could keep the Disney+ Bundle if it were mix n match and then I would have had it all.

 

[PPAP]

is it normal for in store pick up to still be stuck at “order placed” - everyone seems to be getting preparing to ship. first time picking up in store

Mine is at processing

 

[max2]

Which case should I get for my iPhone 14 Pro Max Space Black this coming Friday or before?

I want something thin but protects it. Not heavy though.
