Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

[iApplereviews]

This was the smoothest update process from the time I put my order in to receiving the new phone. Everything worked like a well oiled machine! Apple and UPS finally got their act together! A happy customer. See ya next year when we do it again.

Some people will say otherwise. But for me it was smooth as well

I’ve done this many times, but this was the best experience so far.

Calling UPS again asking for an "escalation ticket" and they are some of the worst customer service people I've ever dealt with. Clearly reading from a script and aren't even listening to what I'm saying about my situation. They are now telling me they will attempt delivery first at my home tomorrow even though the status online still says request for pickup. Think they are just trying to get me to hang up.

Remember to say "it's an iPhone" for an instant fix

When did your get to the "almost there" tab? My truck is hovering less than a mile away, but hitting every road but mine lol.

I think the only people who had a bad one are the ones waiting 1 or 2 more days for their phone. But machines break weather happens and things get delayed it's the risk we take to wait for an iPhone without even leaving home

I don’t get it....

I’m sure they’ve done right by most customers this year.

Same boat man. Apparently my phone is still in KY. UPS blames customs but they do this every year they should be prepared for any hiccup.

I’m stuck on KY too

The Gold is so much better than I imagined!

I know, right? I imagined that I’d go back to silver, but this looks great!

I stayed with silver. Matches my iPad. Gold is too conspicuous.

Its past 2pm here and have yet to receive mines. I hate late deliveries.

So I picked up my phone at the UPS CC and then went to the Apple store to return it. They didn't have anymore in stock so I couldn't
buy one while I was there. But it got me thinking. I just joined T-Mobile and am wondering should I wait a year and buy a new iPhone through T-Mobile's Jump upgrade program, or should just stay with Apples upgrade program? Anybody with experience with both, hoping you can give advice on which one is better. Thanx.....

 

[Pipper99]

I’m waiting till I get home to set her up. Don’t want the bad vibes from work to curse her. She’s more of a casual fun kinda phone. Lol

I’m working at home today for that very reason: avoiding the haters.

That sucks. I was thinking today that I am not a fan of Friday launch day...it doesn't provide a fail safe before the weekend.

The waiting sucks. I feel for ya having had that happen last year. At that time everything screwed up and I had to wait 2 extra weeks. This year was my compensation for bad experiences in past years.

I don't even have "Almost There" and this map shows the truck at the same location 4 blocks away since 2:40pm (3:21 now) Silliness.

Still on destination scan on my UPS pickup. Killing me.

About an hour ago? 45 minutes maybe

That truck tracker doesn’t work so well. It was jumping around in a way that was physically impossible but at times it was accurate. Especially in the last 1/2 hour. Now using my new silver Max 512 to type this. The restore process also gets faster and smoother each year with newer iOS versions. Tapatalk got restored before most of the other apps which are still loading.

Check your email i didn't get a scan for it being ready for pickup just the email

They have arrived! Watch and Phone!

Same here. Smooth upgrade this year.

 

[philbo7]

My new Watch and Phone has just been delivered into my hands!

 

[tekchic]

Just delivered! So excited!

Poor UPS driver said he has had some people actually following the truck, watching to see what boxes might get left outside. He was also worried about the potential for being robbed today. Crazy!

Hope you all get your phones (and watches) soon. About to do a restore and set up that gorgeous S4 watch too!
