Thinking i might just do in store pick up this time 🤔

Thinking about doing the same. Might not be able to sign for it this time.

Did that last year, and went super smooth, definitely recommend

I consider anyone rocking an iPhone with no case to be fantastically wealthy with a spare iPhone at home at all times. I am not wealthy so I have the ugliest otter boxes and screen protectors.

Exactly! Haha. I will say I usually just rock the Amazon cheapie cases/screen protectors and I drop my phones all the time. So far so good! This year trying this one, because it was the first one I saw under $10 🤣

Is instore pick up a better guarantee than delivery? It’s been a while since I’ve bought at launch

If I can get an early pick up time I'll probably do the same.

As long I get my pre-order in quick. I’ll be able get it launch day at the store?

I wonder why.. Maybe check your settings and make sure its set to be delivered at home? I've never had this problem.

I think the issue is the quality of drivers, they don't look carefully at addresses and drop off the box even if signature is required!

I'm surprised there is no orange case. That would look great on the black, white/silver, and deep purple (contrasting color wheel color)

 

[SisterBlue22]

Hmm... This is a good color case. Brings nothing but royalty and peace. Why do I feel 10X richer just looking at this? Even tho, I'm not.

OMG, is that Ink? Thanks lady, now I need this!!!!

Yikes I lost track here. I’ve been glued to news about Queen Elizabeth. I’m American but she’s always just been there, even to some of us, not our monarch, but an icon who meant different things to different people. I’m old enough that the news means something to me in an unexpected way. It felt really strange when I heard the announcement she died. Even weirder to hear “King Charles.” I guess I felt the weight of a historical moment there.

I can’t imagine how British people feel, even the ones who want a republic. It’s quite the end of an era.

Not to be disrespectful, but I am going to think “royal purple” now when I order my iPhone.

I feel the same - I toyed with the idea of getting the white/silver option as I've always wanted a white phone but this has cemented my choice with purple... Royal Purple. Thank you for your kind words - but as you say, she was one for the entire world not just Britain!

There is an Orange Leather case from Apple. Came super close - wanted to match my Orange Alpine band - and the AWUs accents.🔥

Haha i wish. ATT has a better trade in offer for the 12 pro max and it doesn’t look like apple will let you pre register if you are doing carrier financing, unfortunately.

I was able to with VZW financing, just not as far as some were showing. Didn't take me to payment/shipping

 

[compwiz1202]

If you are planning on returning one why would you buy it using a Debit card? Use a Credit card so you are not low on cash? Thoughts???

It wouldn't be the draining as the issue for me. Credit is more secure, and Credit sometimes has purchase protection, and CC have rewards

Same here-and you've gotta feel for Charles-no funeral time off for him! You get your dream job because your parent dies. Harsh.

Yes mam! It looks very elegant and nice. Royalty is written all over it.

If you can secure it yes. Less risky change of having a lost package from ups or fedex.

Can I buy iPhone 14 from anywhere by upgrading and financing with AT&T without doing a trade in yet but then decide to trade in my old phone a week later for credit at a AT&T Store if I decide to ?

Good to know. I wasn't sure if that was discontinued or anything. Orange-purple/black/silver would be fun for spooky season 🎃

 

[SisterBlue22]

And we are back to size mattering again

Spoiler alert - it always has!!

 

[4sallypat]

You have up to 3 days to complete your order or lose it. The only thing that may happen if you wait too long is you don’t get a launch day 📱

Thanks - will do before 3 days.
Just trying not to wake up that early tomorrow...

It's funny, my Apple Card already shows $123.49 charged in my wallet - even before I have completed the payment tomorrow !

 

[Wolfs]

Spoiler alert - it always has!!

@SisterBlue22 Did you see that the Lucky Horse face is ANIMATED? I die! so excited!

So I've been heavily interviewing with 5 companies. One just skipped me to the final interview. When I told another company about the fast track just now, they immediately set me up for a super day of interviews on the 16th!!

This may be the sign for me to wait until I get an offer before ordering. I had a connection who was going to bring me into his company back in July that didn't work out, so I guess I better behave. I'm good at finding iPhones and I live in an area with a good concentration of stores. Plus, I plan on purchasing the AW 8, the AirPod Pros, and the new iPad Pro (whenever that comes out). It can be a birthday celebration package for me.

Send me good vibes!

If you place the order right when it goes live you will get the phone delivered on launch day.

 

[8000XE]

Have 2 saved / (pre) pre-ordered. One for my wife and one for myself. Should let me order 2, no? Perhaps separately if not together
