I had a query on IUP pre approval for upcoming iPhone X.
Bit of my background situation : I am on a corporate plan with my employer and my old number is ported onto that line. But i cannot upgrade corporate phone to the new device. However i still have my old iPhone 6s plus currently on Project Fi.
I plan to port my corporate line number to my personal device and then flip to T-Mobile as its very difficult to buy a new iPhone X through a MVNO. There is no option to preorder a X sim-free.
My question is : If I port my number to T-mobile and then walk in to the Apple store to enroll to IUP for iPhone X, can I pre-approve the amount a month before pre-order begins for X ? If not, then do i have to wait for pre-approve option to appear on Apple store app ?
Side question : Any one who has been on a MVNO (mobile virtual network like project fi, Ting, Republic etc) been able to pre-order a new iPhone through Apple ? All my previous launch day pre-orders have been through either ATT or T-Mobile, so didnt face this situation.
Any help will be highly appreciated
