Soā¦ weāre all going Purple, right? Have to get the āSpecial Editionā?
Pretty much. Has me kinda worried actually, I'm gonna have to be on time at 5am which I might flop. š
The purple and dynamic island are both the iPhone "status symbols" this year.
oh please do not recommend deep purple. itās not a special color at all.Let them choose other colors beside purple so we have 100% chance we will get our preferred color on launch day ššSoā¦ weāre all going Purple, right? Have to get the āSpecial Editionā?
Last year, I brought the device at the store and they happily took it, did the trade in there and gave me the maximum credit of $720 if I remember it right. Iāll be doing it again this year
Couple of questions that hopefully someone can answer here.
1. It looks like preordering the phone through the Apple Store app actually lets you select which carrier you want to use as far as taking advantage of the trade in promo. It even has you select which type of device you want to trade in. By doing it through the Apple Store app, does that mean I have to send the phone I am trading in to apple? or can I take it to the AT&T store like previous years?
2. Does anybody know if we can do the AT&T "Next Up" thing through the Apple Store app again this year?

11.5 hours nowā¦ tick tick, tick tock LOL
I was an annual day one adopter from the 3G through the 8+. Then I found I'm in like the 5% affected by PWM and have been stuck on the regular 11. I am going to try once again but I am so torn!! Pro Max for my aging 46 year old eyes, large hands, and beautiful screen real estate or the Pro with easy pocket-ability for walks/jobs/gym shorts and less 'out there' in the obvious. Decisions š©
Space Black and 512gb are given.

Always love coming back to the forum every year for this threadā¦.
Pre approved for Apple iPhone Upgrade Programā¦ 512 GB 14 Pro Max on Verizonā¦ coming from a 1TB 13 Pro Maxā¦1TB was just too much storage, only using about 350GB and 180GB is my Apple Music catalog šš

I've seen some posts saying that selecting "unconnected" rather than ATT will save an activation fee. Is there any other reason to select "unconnected"? I've already set up my two preorders, selecting ATT, but I remember that having to verify the account (before actually checking out on preorder day) takes time. Would I be better off to delete these pre-preorders and do new ones, selecting "unconnected"?
if you do unconnected, there is no activation fee and no att info detail given at the time. If you are paying full price, you might as well.
I have an iP12 Pro but always had the ālargerā screen since the Xs. Personally, Iām going with the Pro Max this time. I enjoyed the 6.1ā from the 12 Pro but Iād like a bigger screen this time. I use an EDC sling most of the time so āpocketingā the phone wonāt be a big deal.
I didn't have any problems last year with the ESIM on Verizon. Activation was smooth
Some more examples of the colors from MKBHDās video:
Iām definitely settled on Purple now.
You have to ship it back to Apple they'll send you a box. At least that is my experience when i wanted to give it back in the store i was told i can't
I guess weāll find out. I selected unconnected but it appears there is still a chance of it triggering the upgrade fee according to people who work as Verizon reps. The way before was to get a sim-less iPhone then put your old card in. That way, Verizon had nothing to do with the upgrade process. But now you have to activate through Verizon itself regardless.
Holy smokes, it finally worked. Pre-approved and ready to go!
Thank you and sending good luck on your search as well! It's coming!!
I love this story! I see now that I would have been limiting myself if I got the role in July. Each of these roles now are in a different tier in pay, level, and influence. Thank you!
You can take it in to the Apple store as well. I did this last year and they processed the credit there.
I can relate to you on that. I had to start saving biweekly for my Apple devices. For the first time, Iām ordering 2 devices at the same time.
Donāt kick me out - but Iām in Canada (there wasnāt a Canadian pre-order thread when I posted!). They donāt let us pre-order up here unfortunatelyā¦.
I can 100% tell you that of all pre-orders i have done. I have always gotten a sim-free model and have activated an e-sim on my own and have never been charged. Of course I don't see any thing on my bill in the past of where the activation fee was implied on.
I recently did one for my wife on a 13 pro max as she needed a new phone. got the sim free, and did it on esim. No charge.
Time will tell.
