Gonna wait until the 27th for my upgrade anniversary. Hopefully shipment dates aren't too bad by then.

With the IUP, the upgrade date is the date you purchase the new device right, not the day you activate it? So if I bought the phone now and it got here on the 28th, I'd still have to the pay $50 early upgrade fee from my X?
i think it gets pro-rated, oh wait, anything over the 12 month gets pro-rated, like i got a partial refund when i went from 7plus to X

Last year was a HORRIBLE disaster. Couldn’t get on and when I finally did I kept getting errors. I thought it was going to be the first year that I wouldn’t get it on launch day. BUT I was able to get in the ATT que an hour later and still got my X delivered on launch day. I was shocked I always order through the Apple app and couldn’t believe that ATT came through for me last year!

I remember that disaster last year. Lol. The whole reservation thing. Not even knowing what was going on. And the emails for it being delayed for a while. Fortunately, it worked for me but it seemed like others didn't get as lucky.

So what is the process to go to your UPS Service Center to pick up the iPhone X next Friday? Mine is literally 10 minutes away and we are going out-of-town Friday evening, so it would be nice to get it earlier in the day to get it set up! Any risk to doing this? Thanks in advance!

Once you have the tracking info, use UPS My Choice to change delivery location, choose UPS location, select the CC location, and then it will be there ready for you right at 8am!
I did it last year and it was flawless.

My card was charged this morning with a shipping date of 9/21. Anyone else been charged yet in US?
Yes and it shows (currently) on my bank website. Last night I got an alert about the 'hit' when I ordered and then the actual charge came at 3:32 am MST. Still 'Order in Process" though. Not expecting any movement before Sunday really.

i was thinking of doing this again, im just nervous that it will cause a delay

I think as long as you hold when you can track on mychoice, you’ll be good. Knock on wood, I’ve never had an issue nor have I seen anyone here have issue going that route. But if you’re able to be home to accept the package, that sounds great.

My order went through at 3:10 est for an SG XS Max 512GB on the AT&T Next program for store pickup on the 21st and I paid with Apple Pay but I still haven’t been charged. Has anyone else who paid with Apple Pay already been charged or not?

These things will definitely be in stock in a lot of Apple stores on the 21st. Still showing 9/28-10/5 almost 15 hours after launch.

Bummer! Next time drink coffee :)

My order was in by 12:06 and my date is 9/21. My friend ordered at 12:35 and still got 9/21. Hopefully Apple really nailed down their supply chain, although I think your chances of an early delivery are slim.

I’m really interested to see how the XR launch goes. I would guess a combination of Apple preparation and XR interest have made this XS launch so smooth.

Don’t want to search through the thread, but there are charges pending for my XS Max as of this 7:00 AM this morning.

This is great, but my wife’s XS order isn’t showing pending charge yet. Pretty odd.

Anyone in the same boat with a seemingly successful order, but no pending charges?

IUP program.

In hand, it felt incredibly narrow to me. So much-so that typing was a challenge. I returned it last year and ended up waiting for the XS Max. To each their own. :)

Yeah. Though not physically narrower than the Plus’s.. (the display) for some cockamamie reason Apple chose 1125 as the pixel width (same as iPhone 6/7/8) rather than 1242 of the Plus size phones. This is why the keyboard width of the X felt thinner. It did too me too. But I’ve adjusted easily after being a 7+ owner.

I am a deeply dedicated one-hand operation iPhone user. And the more than 6 inch plus phones simply don’t work as one-hand devices for my hand size. The 5.8 is the perfect size for me.
