So I just got the email about getting “preapproved for your IUP”. Why do we need to get preapproved if we’ve been a part of the IUP program for 2 years now? I don’t remember anything like a credit check last year, only the the first year we became members. Is the preapproval some other type of process?

Me too. They seemed to focus a lot more on the new blue color and the “new” gold color rather than the silver or graphite in the Pro series. Going for the Gold! Case-Mate has a new awesome Ombré case that is clear at the top graduating to gold twinkle at the bottom. Already ordered that one.

I have to go look for that case.

Question for anyone that may know - I have an existing IUP Loan that I'd like to pay off, as I'd like to keep the iPhone 11 Pro and give it to my wife.

I just did the preapproval for the 12 Pro and I'm all good there, but how do I go about paying off the remaining balance of the 11 Pro loan? Do I just call Citizens One? I don't want to mess anything up. Thanks!

How do you pay your current loan? I assume you have the autopay set up on the site. If you dont log in to the site, you can just call them to process the payment for the balance

Yeah its on autopay. I logged in to the site but I don't have the option to make additional payments. I'll give them a call - thanks for clarifying. Was hoping to avoid making a phone call :p

This is essentially like "skipping the line". All you need to do is put your info, carrier info and once approved, choose the model and color and the likes and then on pre-order day, it's as simple as push of a check out and you are all set. If you don't do the pre-approval process, and you are currently iUP and upgrading, chances are you will have to enter all that on pre-order day and potentially take the risk and later find out that your order got pushed out and missed the launch day.

That’s kinda nice for the east coast. I’ll be on my 2nd cup of coffee by then.

I hate the new time for the East Coast. My daughter start virtual learning at that time and I have to drop my son off at daycare a half hour earlier to rush back home before 7:45am to double check that everything is set up and to make sure my daughter is all set up to log in for school. I wish it would go back to 3am. It would’ve made it so much easier for me and I would’ve went right back to sleep for a few hours until 7am.

Girl you in the minority lol. Most people on the East Coast hated the 3 am time for good reason. Give me 8 am any day haha.

Do u think gold will get worn out and it would get old for having a daily phone?

19 months later the Gold on my XS Max still look like the day I bought it, but 6 months ago the color was starting to get old to me because I’m used to upgrading every year to a different color. Keeping my phone for 19 months has bored me so much I had to jailbreak it back in May to tide me over until the 12 Pro Max is released.

I would trade for the 3am time in a heartbeat
LOl if it was 3 Am your time, i feel ya because it's 2 am central then. it's still agony to either stay up till 2 am or sleep and wake up at 2 am. Personally, I'm glad they are going with 5 AM PDT.

I put in all the info but my XS is all paid off with 1UP, since the 12 is late. Not sure if I need to reapply or they still have my info? They said they’d send me a reminder to order in November. Nice. As if I won’t be counting the days, though!

If your current one is on iup and paid off, i'm sure you'll need to start new.
