Back for the first time since iPhone X preorder and launch day. I went with 12 Pro 256GB in Graphite. The product Red silicon case looks really nice as well.

I don’t recall this being an option before. Beyond the old “add to favorites” trick you can actually do the prework (financing with Apple Card or upgrade program, carrier information/check) and select your preferred phone SKU now and the Apple app will store it all for you so you just have to come back when preorder opens and click a few clicks to finish your order.
Note it only seems to let you do this if you have (or will apply for) Apple Card or are doing the upgrade program.

Happy buying! ? ? ?

Why do I keep getting this message even though I’m preordering the 12 pro max series ?

I think you still have to go to the favorites.

So, I was going to buy this phone, but AT&T wont let you even access 5G unless you upgrade to unlimited plan. Right? thats Bull. My wife and I dont use a lot of Data. we are on a 6gb shared plan. unlimited plans will cost substantially more every month. Am I misunderstanding?

Correct, but are you sure it will "substantially" more. Go online to manage your plan, and start (but don't finish) the process to upgrade your plan to see how much more it will cost you each month.
 
Pretty sure this is saying that if you're planning to pay in full, you'll need to do it the old-fashioned way. It even recommends adding your configuration to Favorites to speed up the process.

Ohh yah, I misread. Apologies ☺
so we still have to order it old fashioned way? that is only for people who wants to pay via installment right?

I agree. I average about 1-3gb of data per month now since I’m home all the time so when I switched I got the 9GB mobile share plan. Obv, they don’t have that plan anymore so if I did switch to unlimited I couldn’t switch back.

I guess I hold off till 11/3 to do the Citizens preapproval for the 12 pro max? I rather have the larger screen size... I keep getting last min. reminders for the 12 pro, and it’s making me antsy!!!

I think the process is similar to adding to your favorites, meaning the number of clicks will be about the same. Apple is reminding people to have things squared away if they are using the upgrade program or Apple Card.

12 Pro preorder done. I like that they let us get several of the steps out of the way before preordering starts.

Same. And the emails I’m getting from Apple are saying you only have until 10/16 to get preapproved. I’m assuming you can’t get preapproved for the Pro Max yet, haven’t found any way to do it. I just get a “Remind Me” button.
