Hereā€™s to hoping! I have the same Korea arrival time as some that have departed so
Apple and UPS did pretty well with deliveries on launch day this year. There are a number of folks who didn't get theirs, but I'm pretty sure over 99% of pre-orders with launch day delivery confirmations did arrive on launch day.

Math on the back of an envelope shows me that 99.999% delivery rate on 5 million phones results in 50 people not getting a phone- purely made up numbers of phones and percentages, I have no idea what they really are, but it's pretty insane logistics when you get into the millions of deliveries on one day!

Good luck and enjoy it when you get it!

Can you guys assist my dad just got a 14 pro 512GB on the iPhone upgrade program heā€™s telling itā€™s to small for him he wants to return it before the 14 pro max 1tb the 14 pro its his only phone how can we go about this ?

lets say for example my local apple store has the phone he wants tommore can he return and re buy it on the iPhone upgrade program ?

how long does the eligibility take to shows heā€™s eligible to upgrade ?

do they do another credit check ?

he wants to re buy same day once they have his phone in stock.
He'll need to return it, which will then close out the loan. I'm not sure if it closes immediately or if you have to wait for the email stating that it's closed. Normally it can take an hour or 2 to receive that email. He can enroll. If he already had a hard hit recently with citizens one and is less than a month, it will likely be soft. If it's been over a month, it will be another hard.

And here's some quick pics I took of my doggo with the 14. I'll take better pics later for the iPhone picture thread once I've figured out all these fancy camera options (this is just the stock 12 MP).

If for example tommorw he see the phone he wants in stock Hence he had a 12 pro max we returned already to apple part of IUP trade in.

we plan to return the phone same day in store will they rest his eligibility same day so he can reorder the phone he wants if in stock at the local apple store same day on IUP I just donā€™t want him without a phone.

I just posted this in the T-Mobile order thread but I'm going to double-post it here because it's just as relevant and may get some more eye traffic. Any input is appreciated.

"Shoot... Running into an issue here and I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with the same (or not, which would also be a good data point for me).

Essentially my mom and I have two lines on a Magenta Max 55+ plan. I was able to order my 14 Pro Max via Apple using the T-Mobile EIP deal - it told me I was eligible for the full $1000 trade-in value for my 13 Pro Max while keeping our existing $100/month plan. Awesome - looks like that is already reflecting in our account, too. All well and good.

Now, today I am trying to order her a 14 Plus for her birthday. It is telling me that our current plan is ineligible and we will need to upgrade all lines to the $150/month Magenta Max plan to qualify for the full $800 value on her current XR. Otherwise, if we stay on the current plan, it'd only be $400.

Anyone else seeing this? Was it just a fluke that I was able to skrt by getting the full value for my 13 PM and they've since corrected that 'error'? I ordered right when the T-Mobile servers went live to check for trade-in status from Apple."

We have the T-Mobile basic plan unlimited everything for 2 iPhones $70 a month plus 2 mobile phone #s for 2 Apple Watches adds $20 more each month, total $90 per month. We buy our devices from Apple and have no discounts from T-Mobileā€¦ not sure that helps. Seems like staying with your current plan and getting a $1400 credit isnā€™t too bad. Either way you end up paying for the phones. Good luck. šŸ‘šŸ»

This was me as well. I had the Samsung S3 and the MyTouch. I remember Ice Cream Sandwich, Cookie, etc. I was over the bad apps that made it bad for good ones. I was just waiting on a large screen from Apple. When the 6+ came out, I didnā€™t look back.

Customization was the one thing Iā€™ve been wanting from Apple since leaving Android. I feel like this is a good step while keeping the polished Apple design and function.
I still have my original T-Mobile G1 that I fire up from time to time to remind myself how far tech had come!

Since Iā€™ve seen others with the same scans moving I had hoped that things were moving and the update scans were delayed on the app but am losing faith thatā€™s the case. I guess if we donā€™t see movement today then we really are pushed out to Monday.

Me too. I wish we saw some movement today. Im hoping when I wake up tomorrow we see some major scans. Maybe the scans are just behind?
Mine was in Korea as well for a couple of days. Checked the UPS today- was pushed back to 9/26 delivery instead of a friday.
