Thank you for the awesome info! That’s great! I will state it will still take almost a month after you order the device to receive it. They do not wait until it’s in stock to allow F&F. Just for anyone who’s following along who hasn’t done it yet :) I’m thinking about the last week of October to the first week of November we should be able to order. That seems to be the trend the last 4 or so years.
Last year it was 5 weeks, so maybe 27th Oct or earlier this year hopefully 🙏

My friend said that the personal epp balance will reactivate on 15 Oct, and that date is visible too. So maybe 15 oct the friends and family will open too

One thing you guys might be able to help with… I’d been following this thread for a while before I noticed it refers to the 15 PRO. Is there any info on whether regular iPhone 15s are available via EPP yet please?

TIA

I wonder that after Apple allows epp for 15 pro, can we use discount at the apple store in person? Because delivery takes longer than in store purchase....

Does anyone know if the EPP pricing is just for Apple F&F or does it also include the EPP for corporate partners?

You can do store pickup as an option.

Hopefully the 15 Pro Max will be available via F&F soon!

That would be amazing!! I hope it's tomorrow!!

In a world of same day/one day deliveries, waiting one month for your phone to be delivered is ridiculous!! Even more so, for tech products considering we'd be a month closer to the "next big thing"

It's always annoying not getting something immediately, but personally I now don't mind. The delay allows a few iterations of the software to be improved, major issues to be resolved or found to be non-issues (heating, bending, whatever), and the hype to diminish. In the past, I've even cancelled orders as longer-term reviews (3-6 weeks) show that the product isn't actually that beneficial to me after all. I'm speaking as a dad of two kids who can't splurge cash on shiny toys often, so I'm going from iPhone 11 to 15pm which is quite extravagant! Usually I wait at least 5 years, but my 11 is on its last legs. It's cool to wait. None of us really needs it and we're lucky to be in a position to afford it. (Edit: ps, the lead time in the UK is now Nov 3-10 for deliveries)

I was worried about the heating issue but thanks to this wait i realised they fixed it so i think its a good thing.

I'm going the 512Gb..... The doubling of the RAM from 256 to 512 seems like an ok deal.
1Tb even more so... BUT think about possible resale?
I don't think you'll recoup the extra storage if you go to sell down the track.

Unless you do lots of photos and video, 512Gb is more than enough.
I hae 2Tb icloud storage, and photos get stored in full resolution on the cloud saving phone storage space.
Thats where i'm sitting in my decision.

With family and friends discount, i'll basically get the 512Gb at the 256Gb pricing.

I just saw availability of Stock for 15 Pro and 15 PM and i see it is available in store for pickup today. So stocks are available now, i feel F&F should be available now

I don't believe in store stock necessarily is indicative of when FF discount will open.
Makes sense to keep stock IN STORE at full price for walk ins..... than selling discounted online.

I'm eagerly awaiting this though... hopefully SOON.
