I did the pre approval process for the Xs max 64GB gold.

I didn’t get any other email from Apple if any sort and I think it was approved after all this is it normal ?

So on Friday at 3 am est time would I click on the round thing with guy head and click iPhone upgrade program then click Preapproved iPhone to complete the purchase or will I click this ?


How do I return my old IPhone ?

So Friday at 3 am est is the right time for me since I live in Pennsylvania?

They'll send you a box to return your old phone after you receive your new one.
Yes, Friday at 3am ET. Log into the Apple Store App, and click to complete the order. Takes less than 30 seconds if I remember from last year.

Do I click the round thing with guy head or click the one I see when I open up ?
 
I just got my IUP approval this afternoon for the first time. I don't trade in a phone this time, correct? I'm assuming that's the case since this will be my first purchase using the IUP.
 
Correct, you will not need to add in your SSN. Shouldn't need to add a payment method since it is already technically done when you were approved.

Correct, if you just signed up for IUP for first time, nothing to trade in.

I am getting an error message when I am attempting to confirm my carrier to get preapproved for the iphone xs max IUP? I have contacted apple stating they don't know the reason and I contacted Verizon with no issues on their end either? Is anyone else having an issue with this?
 
Finished my preapproval for XS Max 256GB Gold on Verizon. Very happy to be on Verizon this year so I can trade my old phone in over the mail.

Being on TMobile previous years required me to go to the store and there were always activation issues that took way too long.
 
Ive done it twice now and it’s an awesome perk of being in the IUP. You literally wake up, click once, click submit. Done. Its less time than getting up to piss.

And yes, both me and my ex wife (grrrrrrr) got the confirmation pre approval email.
 
Quick question. Obviously anyone with an X will owe one payment. Is that payment taken when I preorder on Friday or do I need to pay before?

So is it correct that you can't use a debit card, only a CC?

When you first sign up/first upgrade you will need to use CC. After you get your phone and you register with citizen one, you can then change the payment method on citizen one.

Can you change the credit card that you used on the pre approval form when its time to purchase on Friday?

I'm sure you can if you still have the time or contact Apple.

When I just checked on the Apple website it says at preorder you'll have to pay off the remaining balance of your first 12 monthly payments (which for me is around $56).
