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

[superlawyer15]

Ah, so it did come with 14.1. No big deal, 14.2 update was pretty smooth on the XS Max.

What I did think of 1/2 asleep. In the past I'd get the new phone - set it up as completely new...but simply swap old SIM card to new phone...no problem.

Do these new 5G phones have a special 5G sim card? If so..ugh, does this mean I do have to contact Verizon so they can slap me with some goofy "upgrade" fee - to activate special 5G Sim I've been avoiding for years. (Yeah, I know I just dropped $$$ on a new phone, its the needless nickel & diming nonsense from carriers that make me mental!)

I used our existing sim card for my wife's iphone 12 and she got 5G right away.

Here’s my debate? Download and update to 14.2, then do reset to factory to anally make sure the storage drive is ordered? It sounds ridiculous but I might just do that.

that’s what i did ☺️

You “should” be able to swap and call them to providing it for 5G.

I've found that there are two types of people in this world. People who just ignore emails they don't care about and leave them in their inbox forever, unread, to accumulate like rabbits (not me). And people who delete unwanted emails daily to keep their inboxes clean (me).

maybe we’re just soooo popular and need to be efficient with our replies! (Obviously I’m strutting like I’m special ... soooo far from it! )

 

[drkknte]

On guard for the brown truck!

 

[Shadowbech]

Woot official out for delivery. Too bad im at work so ill just check every hour on my break

 

[Renho]

agreed...thats why I was asking. sounds like tomfoolery

He did say HomePod tho and not HomePod mini. Maybe that’s it

 

[Renho]

I wonder if I can so to the UPS truck to pick up my phone...

Do you guys think the driver would deliver it if i go where the truck is?

If he is cool he will! Plus one less house he has to go to!

Finally!!!View attachment 1664240

Did it start out as 9pm for you and change to that timeframe? It still says 9pm for me.

 

[tdar]

I’m glad I came to the CC to pick my phone up. So many trucks were driving past me to start their deliveries.

I know. Isn't that amazing.

You really are going to love it. I can not wait to see what you say when you have gotten your phone.😄

Anally? Sounds like that hurts.

You are good to go with the sim from the XS Max.

 

[aesc80]

It’s a preference thing for sure! Whatever floats your boat! I wouldn’t specifically know.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

I used our existing sim card for my wife's iphone 12 and she got 5G right away.

Thing is I'm coming from a 4G XS Max.

5G, I honestly have no idea what the coverage is in my area...maybe iffy according to Verizon's Map. (Or a complete dead zone when I'm inside my local Lowe's Home Improvement store, LOL)

BUT, the super improved LTE, that is the big benefit I'm looking forward to.

Ups driver rang the bell and left our 3 phones on the porch. Daughter secured them and now I wait till I get back into town on sunday evening.

 

[KayEm6419]

The UPS truck stopped at my building but didn't deliver my phone!
The driver said he had more packages for the building but he had to deliver some things by 10:30am and had to leave.
That sucks.View attachment 1664276

Aaargh!

 

[Bea220]

Goddammnit, because I wasn't at home they'll try again on the next working day - I'M NOT HOME DURING WORKING HOURS. Effin UPS, always the same crap. This is why anything else but DHL sucks, with DHL you can change delivery before the first attempt has been made. But noOoOoOo, not with UPS.

Wow. I can't believe the driver didn't just leave it there. They ought to have left it due to contact-less delivery. Sorry to hear this. Hang in there.

 

[DblHelix]

Out for delivery in Sacramento now
