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

Do you use a case and if so, do you have moments where you take the case off? I'm going for the Silver again this year, but I do not use a case. I think that the silver/white combo is too gorgeous to then cover it, although I guess if one were to use a clear case, then their color choice will still shine.

Caudabe Lucid Clear case look like you don’t have a case on. I’m waiting for them to bring it out for the 14 Pro Max.

Ok I'm in. Ordering both to see which one I want to keep. Really hope I enjoy the PM! Happy Pre Order Eve!!!!

Question. I sometimes like to use my S22 ultra. I just switch my SIM card. Can I still do this with e-sim?

probally not since i don't know how it would work

Hi guyyyys. I’m new but I actually was a ghost in this group last year patiently waiting to get my 13 pro max in Sierra blue like everyone else was . I wasn’t going to upgrade but I changed my mind 🤣 I’m gonna be pre ordering the iPhone 14 pro max in space black 256gb Which I’m so happy they have brought back a actual black color . I had the 7 plus back in the day in that color and loved it ❤️ Luckily my bf is upgrading from the XR , which is a great jump for him . And is gonna take my sierra blue. so it gave the perfect excuse for me to get a new one . 😈

if you get the "Get an unconnected" it's essentially a sim-free model (yes they changed the naming of it). There will be no activation fee if you go with this route. But for your 14 pro on aTT, there's a possiblity. But you can also try contacting AT&T to see if they can credit that back to you? I know with Verizon it's a hit or miss of getting that waived off.

Yeah I did one at ATT one unconnected bc Idk which one im keeping lol. I figured do one ATT bc Ill be keeping 1 of the 2. I read online ATT does not charge for Esim. That'll prob change one day

This is so weird. Apple magically pulled my old address from the sky, and shipped my case there. Checked everywhere to make sure I deleted the old address, and it’s nowhere to be found. And of course Apple has no answer cause it’s already shipped. Lol!!!! Let the debauchery begin already!

One thing I hate, not that my reason is morally sound, but I hate losing the ability to take my sim out of my phone and putting it into my iPad which keeps me from eating up my tethering limits. Also I like to have a second phone every now and then and it made it easier to switch back and forth between phones.

I'm not sure how it works today but in the past, when I was traveling and needed to transfer the esim back and forth between two phones (don't ask) I was able to do it. It think at that point (like 4? years ago) I had to scan a QR code but I bet it is possible and easier to move the esim between phones now. This was with AT&T so YMMV.

 

[bige12]

That’s what I’m afraid of with them going to eSim only.

We will find out when the phones come out - I hope the verizon plans transfer automatcily

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

Apple already put a charge on my credit card. But I assume it was just to check and see if I had funds on it. It’s weird since it’s not an actual pre order yet lol

 

[StaceyMJ86]

I was expecting an increase also.. Tim will make up for it on the new ultra watch.

I was shocked the S8 Ultra is $799. I really thought it would be closer to $1000 based on the rumors.

11:58 to go to place pre-order!

According to Verizon the physical sim to Esim conversion takes place behind the scenes during activation.

I did too, I thought it was going to be 1K easily and did a double take when he said 799. It's expensive still but not crazy expensive like I was thinking.

Rumor was 999. I thought so too.

I thought this was odd. My Apple Card got a pending charge when I did the get ready. I don’t remember the pre preorder doing a credit check last year at launch.

 

[maxrest]

Just got a text that my 14 Pro Max Storm Blue and Clear MagSafe cases will be delivered tomorrow!

Can you post a pic of storm blue when you get it? I’m thinking of getting that for my space black PM.

 

[valinda]

Not easily. Since the 14s don't have a SIM card slot, only the internal esim chip can be used and you would have to call the cell phone company to swap the EID number every time you want to switch.

That’s the only drawback for me. I wish they just left the physical sim, and e sim available.

 

[max2]

eSims are perfect!

Yea I don't remember apple actually putting a pending charge on your credit card or Apple Card when getting ready for pre order.

 

[UltimateSyn]

So… we’re all going Purple, right? Have to get the ‘Special Edition’?

 

[BradLA]

Can you post a pic of storm blue when you get it? I’m thinking of getting that for my space black PM.

Yeah! I’ll post a pic in this thread sometime tomorrow.

 

[anjo10]

it used to be 2am Chicago time. I’ll be up at 5:50am to log on to my work laptop (I WFH) and will be patiently waiting for 7am to hit!

They had major issues w peoples apple credit cards not working last year. So maybe this will eliminate the issue?
