Download google photos. It takes up no space and you can download and delete pics from your iPhone if you need them locally. I don't put anything on my phones anymore since iTunes stream and google photo. Hell I just need enough space for updates that's all


There is iCloud also
 
Whats the deal with the ppl that got charged yesterday, do you guys see any activity on UPS?
 
Tracking shows label was created yesterday and estimated delivery as today, but no further info. Still under "Ready for UPS" step, before even "Shipped." Status message is: "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated."

Really hope it arrives today. Worked from home so I could be here for them, and they usually deliver by now...
Highly doubt it's getting delivered today. Tomorrow is a decent bet, though.
 
UPS came to drop off a package, turns up the girlfriend bought something online. Bummer -

Still haven't been charged

iPhone 7+ 128 mb
9/27-10/10

If only I had a job where I didn't have too much down time the day would go faster.

+1 for google photos! Just started using it
 
Going into UPS My Choice, my shipment shows

Scheduled Delivery Date : NOT AVAILABLE

The 9/21 delivery date only shows when I track using the tracking #. I'm convinced that this is just a placeholder and we have had ZERO movement since last night. Its entirely possible that UPS may not even get these devices in their possession by 5PM EST today, which I assume is a requirement for guaranteed Thursday delivery for overnight customers.

Why do you guys need the IMEI?

I don't really. Its just that others in the same position as me (having already been charged, having already gotten a tracking number), they also got their IMEI and I hadn't, so was worried about not having gotten to that step yet.
 
Alright so its past 3PM. Patiently waiting for a charge on my card.

Why would ANYONE need over 20gb in 2016...when they have google photo for pics and iTunes and tidal for music.


Your music and photos should take up 0 space. I'll be shocked if phones even have over 8gb of storage by 2018 the way things going

The most common storage configuration bought of iPhone is 128GB by a LARGE margin. When things say opposite of what you think, either everyone else is stupid and you are correct or you are probably making wrong assumptions.

Storage on phones, laptops, desktops, memory cards and hard drives is INCREASING not decreasing. We were promised easy access to "cloud storage" but we were also promised flying cars. Neither of that has happened yet. I use Google Photos primarly but there's a very big limitation. If you go on a hiking trip or say where you don't have good coverege or any coverage, you can't upload your photos or videos and have wait until you get coverage. And 16GB is just not going to cut it if you take videos. What do you do then? There's also problems with retrieiving those photos and videos. I would hate to wait to download photo and video every freaking time just to see it - which will be the case if you don't store anything locally!

Games need a lot of onboard storage too. Not to forget, apps are growing bigger and bigger. They said the all apps will be web apps with a native skeleton, guess what, we are going the other way. Apps are getting larger and larger and they all need space to store data - all those chats, pics, videos sent around in the messaging apps need to be cached for performance boost etc. Check the size of your facebook app right after you download it and after 30 days of use. Compare how much more storage space if takes. Also, the industry is now long convinced that web apps are not going to happen.

So, Photos/Videos, Games, Apps - I gave you at least 3 reasons you need MORE storage even in 2016 and so will be the case in 2018.

ah! got it. I thought I missed something! thanks!
 
Ok so I was charged yesterday for my 128GB 7+ MB and my shipping label was made on 9/20 @ 10pm. I just checked and it still says the same thing with today as the estimated delivery even tho there isn't any movement... and my IMEI has been showing on MyT-Mobile since this early morning. Can I expect it tomorrow? I also got my shipping number for a MB 7 128gb (not plus) like on Monday and it still hasn't even had its origin scan??? It said est delivery Tuesday, now Wednesday, yet it still hasn't shipped? What's going on lol

Apparently tmo has the phones in a warehouse in Louisville and had them yesterday but didn't get them into the UPS queue yet, I suspect today will be the actual ship date... Or not, could be meat, could be cake.

You may well get it tomorrow, but you won't know for certain until UPS changes the status. As things stand for pretty much all of us, T-Mobile has created shipping labels electronically but UPS has not yet received the package, or has received them but not updated its systems (unlikely).

Not certian of the technicalities, but my understanding is that 9/22 deliveries are guaranteed only if UPS receives the packages by 5PM EST on 9/21.
