For those that have done the iPhone Upgrade program in the past. Will I need to surrender my current device at time of pickup or do they allow me to mail it in/drop it off later?
I had called Apple support a few days ago and was told that they will send a box and shipping lable to return your current iPhone.

So I ordered a phone for myself and told my dad I would try to get him one. We are on separate accounts. After I got mine, I went back on Apple and did the same process, chose Verizon, and did the option to come activated. I should have done the one without any carrier. How would I switch it to his account? Does he just take out the SIM card? I don’t get how it comes ready to use anyways.
 
Reality just hit me!!! 😹😹

I'm in the Apple Upgrade Program, and I didn't update my credit card info in the Apple Store app, and the pre-order used a card that's since been replaced. This happen to anybody before? I can't seem to change my payment method, and they weren't helpful on the phone as the orders haven't populated yet on their system.
 
My iPad Air is coming by express delivery. Guess I won’t be seeing “preparing to ship” until at least Tuesday or Wednesday.
Or you may! My Apple Watch was shipped via express delivery and guess what! It traveled from China to Japan!!!

I woke up at 5 am to place my order, the app wasn’t taking orders until three or four minutes after the hour, and I got my order in immediately. The confirmation email came at 5:09 am.

And I’m pissed. The order screen said I would receive the phone on October 23, which is why I dragged myself out of bed at 5 am, because I’m going out of town the very next day and needed to receive it before I leave. But the email confirmation I received says November 3-10.

I always buy on launch day and I’ve never had this happen before. It feels like Bait and Switch. Anybody else experience a change in the quoted arrival date between what you were shown at purchase and what shows now?

Wow, totally forgot about the pre-order. Woke 2 hours after the process started as well. Last night was still deliberating on what color I wanted. Anyhow, 4.5 hours after pre-orders started, just ordered the Graphite with expedited delivery and I'm given dates between Oct 30 to Nov 4. :apple:

I plan on waiting on the magsafe charger for now.
I'm salty the app wasn't working for me at all, after I ordered my iPhone, So I checked here and someone said to try the website. So I hopped on my PC and got it ordered. Which meant the delivery date got pushed back instead of the 23rd for me.
