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.
When it's time to ship the charge won't go through and Apple will email you to update payment.

For those of you that bought an iPhone 12 from Apple and plan to do the trade in with AT&T in the US, simply go to the AT&T webpage at www.att.com/tradein using promo code TRADEINOFFER20 to process the trade. They will ship you a pre-paid box to ship your old phone. You have 30 days after activation of your new phone to complete the trade-in to be eligible for the offer.

Note that you may want to wait to receive your new iPhone before initiating the online process, since it requires you to turn off the Find My iPhone function on your old phone when submitting your IMEI number. Hope this helps!

Congrats to all the soon-to-be iPhone 12 owners. I ordered a 12 Pro 256GB in Graphite for my daughter today and will be ordering a Pro Max 256GB in
Pacific Blue for myself on November 6th.

Got the Citizen Loan approval email and also have a charge from Apple on my card for about $104... Wonder what that's for? Looks to low for Sales tax in CA and not enough for my Magsafe charger and case. Weird.

Yea, I just received the email but I’m not able to update the payment method. I’ll check again later. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the new iPhones come with Qualcomm modems vs. the Intel ones that they have been using for awhile now?

Here's a question: I bought my iPhone 11 Pro last year using Apple Card Monthly Installments. Can I pre-order to the iPhone 12 Pro now and just cancel the rest of my payments when use the Apple Trade-In or do i need to pay off this phone first?
You should be a good candidate for the iUP program thru Citizen's Loan.

If you financed your 11 thru the Apple Card (Goldman Sachs) you will have to finish paying off the 11 before you can trade it in.

Otherwise the other option is to keep paying the old loan and then take out another finance agreement with the 12 (iUP, 24 month Citizen's, 30 month carrier, 24 month Apple Card).

I pre-paid my 11 phone a year early in advance so that when I ship my 11 for trade, it has no balance owed.

Has anyone who successfully preordered one iPhone 12 pro using their Apple Card see two pending charges on their Apple Card?

Both are of different amounts but and have about $15.10 different between the two charges. Is one of the charges real and the other a temporary charge?

If you are on the iup program, you will see 1 charge for state tax and another charge for the 1st iup monthly payment.

yes. Sending in my iPhone a few years ago to AT&T was a nightmare. I couldn’t track it because it is a weird shipping company. They had no record of it. Couldn’t tell me what had happened to my phone. After the expected date they finally said they received my phone. After so much stress and anxiety and no help from AT&T I swore I would never deal with them with orders or trade ins. I now use Apple 1UP and it’s such a relief. I also “thought” I was getting a better date to receive my new phone through AT&T but that also turned out to be a nightmare. The order “disappeared.” Then the date got later and later (I ordered in first minutes). After a week or so I canceled the order with AT&T and picked up the phone I wanted at an Apple Store. I will only use Apple for orders and trade ins now

I’ve heard so many stories like rhis

Just in time for my wife's birthday on 10/27, and also one for myself lol

Also just a note, last year my 11 Pro Max status said in China all the way until Thursday night, then Friday morning it changed to out for delivery. I'm sure some of us will experience this again. Do not freak out.

This happened to me too one year. Sometimes the status doesn’t get updated until the last day.
