Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

I just checked and I don’t have a convert to e sim option showing

Who is your carrier?

 

[webbuzz]

Went to bed set on Space Black. Woke up wanting purple. Ugh! I seriously may just buy both and return one.

The struggle begins.

Who is your carrier?

I wonder if this is specific to ios 16? I know when I was on ios 15, there wasn't that option but since i'm on ios 16 (beta) it shows the option to transfer it to another phone.

Hope your screen meets you level of expectations and I hope you pray mine does also 😂

never had an issue with my 13 pro max with the 14 pro max I hope not.

My iPhone 12 Pro Max is on iOS 15 and it worked.

ETA: You’re correct about transferring from one iPhone to another iPhone, which requires iOS 16.

Convert a physical SIM to an eSIM on the same iPhone​

You can convert a physical SIM to an eSIM on the same iPhone, if your carrier supports it. Follow these steps:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular.
2. Tap Convert to eSIM.
   If you don't see Convert to eSIM, your carrier doesn't support this option. Contact your carrier to move your phone number from your physical SIM to an eSIM using eSIM Carrier Activation or by scanning a QR code.
3. Tap Convert Cellular Plan.

I must have missed this small detail. No physical SIM cards on USA models ? Bummer , since the UK pay as you go ( prepaid) is primarily physical SIM card based.

eSIM UK: How To Get One For Your Phone

Get a truly local O2 UK eSIM plan for £20 per month with unlimited Data, Voice and SMS and no roaming fees when travelling to Europe.

www.esim.net

Wonder if Tim Apple is gonna try to drag the UK into the 21st century?

I know ! I was thinking the same thing ! I’m actually leaving to Vegas for a bachelor party early morning Friday , most likely after my pre order 😂

Check in now and then so we know where to send the bail money-and buy @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 a drink!

I was originally going to go with the deep purple, but I changed my mind and switched to space black

There is still time to switch back

uhhhh.. my pre qualification is gone?.

Edit: nvm it’s in my For You tab.. but not my Home Screen anymore. It’s giving me the option to get ready again?

Same. Threw me off at first

Here's a quick Cliff Notes:

Order still processing?
Why hasn't my card been charged yet?
Yay! Shipping!
I'm in ZZ!
I've been in ZZ for three days; what's wrong?
Oh no! Bad weather in Korea?
Finally took off!
Looks like our two iPhones are sharing a martini in first class on our flight.
In Alaska!
Where does the customs clearance happen?
In Louisville!
Can I drive down and pick it up in Louisville?
Why not?
On the way to my hub!
Just landed in (place your home town here)!
Gonna pick it up at the local Apple Store.
Waiting for delivery. The UPS guy is the best!
Gonna pick it up at the hub.
UPS lost my damned iPhone!

Deceased! 😂

Thanks for posting this. I assume I should do this before I get my 14pm? Phone lines will be busier during launch on the 16?

Could be specific to AT&T? Because i'm on Verizon and we don't have that option. However, there is a way to activate esim but you have to do it through your verizon account on the browser (not the verizon app).

Simply for Verizon, sign in to account. From there it's Account > My Devices > Active or Switch Device > Activate on an existing line. From there you enter IMEI2 and follow screen instructions.

sure it's not as intuitive as AT&T but it's doable.

Love the iPhone Pro in Purple color. @bevsb2 thoughts on the color??? You like it?

Seems to have a lot of people excited!

He should have done it with more conviction. By eliminating SIM card trays on all iPhone 14 devices. Not just the USA market. 💝

Yep. That’s why I converted now. Both Apple and carriers could get hammered on 5e 16th.

I have two verizon lines. One is a esim and one is a sim. I expect that the new phones will convert for you. Hope so!

 

[pilotpat]

Sorry I missed the party yesterday @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 I was stuck working. Hope to help with flight tracking questions and have some fun again this year!

Oh yeah, Space Black for me this year. Ordered the Hunter Green leather case already.

 

[ian-frs]

I've never gone with the darker colors before always opting for silver or gold, but man that purple might sway me this year. I have both set up for preorder now, going to try and decide tonight before I go to bed. I know if I order both I'll just keep both and swap between them like a loon.

Do you think they can just do this in store for me? I have a Verizon store 10min Away from me and I was going to run errands today anyways.

Shouldn’t be a problem.

Just did mine now. Didn't even take two minutes. But I agree its probably better to do it now instead of along with the rest of the public who wait until launch.

Thanks for posting this but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's because I have AT&T prepaid. I got an error message.

How are you doing this and when you did the pre-approval, did you do the verizon carrier and did you had to enter your verizon account details? If that's the case, and you are picking it up, you are likely going to activate it. Lately only option would be activate later and if that's the case you can just take it home and activate it when you first boot your device.

Now if you choose as a full price and not entered any verizon account info, you are likely buying a sim-free model. I don't Apple will do this in store and in this situation, you'd just follow the instructions I posted above.

When I did pre approval, there was option to choose- activate new phone under my number. I chose Apple Card monthly financing.
