Not sure what the conditions are to get the $650 trade in but when I was on the phone with 611 trying to get my disaster straightened out I asked the rep if I could buy phone at Apple and she told me yes but. But the trade in credit would only be $225. The fine print I was told states that phones purchased from Apple , Staples, and Microsoft were not eligible for the additional amount.

This is what I got for my iPhone tradein after I purchased a new iPhone at the Apple Store.

Seeking some clarification. I am thinking about switching to Verizon. If the phone is locked to Verizon's CDMA network, can I use it (voice and data) in Europe on the GSM carriers by just swapping SIMs? Isn't the GSM side of the phone left unlocked?

Jet Black 256 7+ ordered 3:24am 9/9 on VZW site.... original ship date 9/28.... checking constantly.... NOTHING changed! Reading people ordered after getting store delivery and shipped... friend got 128 gold 7+ today with 10/5 original date! WTF Vzw and apple? Could you have botched this release more?

Not pleased to hear people walking into stores and getting the same phone I ordered.... Pretty crappy way to handle things Apple!

3:24a which is just a few mins after the site even started working (for me at least).

Absolutely agree with you, you did a pre-order and you should've got one before the handful of folks who've walked into Apple stores and got one from their stock.

128GB iP7 JB ordered at 3:05am on 9/9 - estimated ship date 10/5 hasn't moved. When I call 611, the recording says estimated ship date 10/5.

Any one know if my wife is on the annual upgrade program from Verizon and she is wants to upgrade a month early and just pay the last payment now can she do that in the Apple Store? If she reserves it there.

Jump on line on Verizon and you can pay off the old phone... I did it... you just have to pay what ever you owe.... I owed 2 months ... I did it early on 9/8 so I could order on 9/9

Hello,
I used to work for Apple but new on this site. I had a question if I ordered from Verizon where does it ship from? China? in the states? Fill a newbie in.

I think it can vary, but mine shipped UPS from Memphis to Oklahoma.

If I hadn't promised my phone to someone, I could have saved money selling or trading my 6 in :(

My Verizon is now showing order number instead of preorder confirmation number. Still no cc charge or update.

Thanks. How are people getting the reservations complete? I always get a message
We’re sorry, but this service is currently unavailable.

I'm getting this same message and have been informed by 2 Apple phone reps that that site has been disabled.

NO ONE is walking into a store and getting one without a reservation or pre-order. NO ONE, no matter what they tell you. Orders are open only to pre-orders and reservations.

No. It's not the same thing. Purchase the GSM or the CDMA.

Ordered 2 VZW 7+ 128gb Jet Black and Black. Confirmation at 2:10 CT.
Original date on email 10/5 delivery. Updated to 9/23 on every site VZ has. Just spent an hour on the phone with them as the dates and CC had no change today. Very nice rep explained that a lot of 9/23 ship dates are being pushed for the Plus model back to 10/5 or later. I worked for Apple (in retail training and dev) from before the original iPhone to the 5s and honestly just posted here for the first time to say - this has to be the worst launch I've seen (and I was there for the 3G).
