Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

So it really depends, one thing I've noticed is that Apple DID NOT ask for "signature required". I had a laptop delivered a few week ago, the sender specifically asked for "Signature", when the UPS made the delivery attempt he rang the door bell, but we didn't answer right away thinking it was going to be dropped off anyways. By the time we got to the door he left a note saying sorry we missed you. I later looked up the rule for UPS, while they are not requiring you to sign, they have see you and ask for the receiver's last name. With the iPhone today it was almost the same, the UPS rang the door bell, I answer in about five seconds, by the time I open the door he was already half way back to his truck (he dropped off the phone though), as soon as he saw me, he yelled "last name?", and I told him what it was before him taking off.

right - i noticed on the tracking pages that "signature required" was not to be found anywhere. at first i figured that meant that they would just leave the packages, but i came here and upthread people were saying that they weren't going to require signatures but still try to verify that the last name was the same, which is something they can do from afar. that made sense to me given the dollar amounts in play here.

maybe this is just totally unofficial on UPSs part so the average driver (who probably has 10 million iphones to deliver today) is just dropping stuff off and running. they probably get in more trouble for missing delivery windows than they would for someone later claiming a loss.

anyway who knows what is going to happen with my package that they didn't deliver. hopefully it will show up tomorrow.

Anyone else having trouble pushing the volume up or down with the Apple MagSafe clear case. I’m not liking it at all wonder if is just my case or someone else is having same issue

I stopped by Verizon to get a new SIM for my 12 Pro. The one that came with my 11 Pro in December 2019 was the previous gen, Verizon texted me saying I need a new SIM for the 12 Pro. The new SIM says 5G on top.

That’s interesting. I didn’t get that message at all from Verizon.
 
Guess we will see if this actually takes until the end of November. Hope it just randomly ships next week.

The clear ones tend to be a bit stiff I’ve found.

Yes I usually buy non Apple ones and they are stiff but this one is just so complicated so stiff I have to hold it with my right hand extremely hard then push with all my strength to get to go up or down is really bugging me for the money paid for should be so complicated

Ok so I ended up getting an old friend to swing by the old apartment I lived in in Albany NY and overnight the phone back to KY for $97 freaking dollars. I gave him $150 for the effort. I am going to call Apple tomorrow and tell them I want them to either give me a gift card for the amount I had to pay for it to be shipped back, or give me 2 years of AppleCare + for free. I asked them to change the address 4-5 times this week. Reasonable? Think it will work?

Was it still just sitting outside your old apartment? If so, amazing it was still there! Glad you’ll be getting it soon.

Yeah good luck with that. I don’t think it’s reasonable at the end of the day you used the wrong address. You asked them to change it after the timeframe so it was just a request. If they could they could if not we’ll check your address next time.

If you use a case it won’t matter much.

It looks stellar! Wish they made those in PRO models. I would so buy this over anything. Red is my favorite color too. Very good choice.

Guess it would be helpful to post the exact message I got 🙂

The text asked me to install the SIM that came in the phone but it was factory unlocked from Apple so there was no SIM
Click to expand...
Thanks! That’s super helpful. I’ll probably eventually to get one. But for now 5G is not super useful and to be honest I’m home 99% of the times...

Today I made an interesting discovery.
So at lunch today several of us for the new iPhone 12 or 12 pro. Some were AT&T others Verizon. Well..... They were having horrible and I mean barely 1 bar of service.

So anyways they each called their respective carrier and both T-Mobile and Verizon said any other SIM card other than the approved 5G sim will cause the phone to not be able to access the network properly and will see “reduced speeds”. The guy who was on AT&T waited over an hour and gave up.

They all had non-5G sims cards.
I’m telling yah. They are playing dirty this year.

Very reasonable IMO. Smart of you to "offer" gift cards or Apple Care. I"m sure both have profit margin for them so worth more to you than it will cost them.
