ECD? Estimaded Charge Date? Rep wrote on twitter: 9/18-9/21
Estimated shipping is still 9/21
I ordered XS Max 64gb Silver
I have Jump On-Demand so I got an iPhone Xs Max, for a good deal.
I had the Space Gray iPhone X, but thought I’d mix it up and see what the Silver/White is like.
No news of any shipment or order change yet, but usually jump on demand makes the device get to me quicker.
But I just got an iMac to play with, so I should not go to crazy or anything with the wait. lol

Any of you guys order email show ground shipping?
The rep told me it would be free overnight but I’m shipping ground on my confirmation email. I’m wondering if they will do like past years and upgrade all pre orders to release date shipping if you got the 9/21 dates.

I did not want fo risk that, which is why i specified to rep that I wanted overnight shipping they they gave it to me as a “courtesy”...
Pretty sure if you reach out to them via Twitter they could upgrade the shipping for you.
I got the same text

I got ordered the iPhone Xs 64GB space grey mybinfo is exactly the same. I personally suspect something is going to happen because not very many people got pushed out on order dates OR the demand for these new iPhones are not really wanted.

If the rumors and leaks are true; which iPhone will you be getting? And are you using the T-Mobile App, t-mobile.com, Preordering at a T-Mobile store or just camping out on launch day.[/QUOTE]
XS Max 256, silver, SIM-Free.
Supposed to arrive 9/21.
Ordered from Apple like I always do.
The iPhone X is a great phone and I intended to hold onto it a while longer.
What put me over the edge was a list of improvements that weren't really focused on very much.
4 gb RAM. 4x4 MIMO. Gigabit LTE. Band 71. The XS Max allows dual screen multi-tasking like the iPad Pro.
I think it's a bigger improvement than they're acting!

Still no shipping change for T-Mobile[doublepost=1537022552][/doublepost]
Even my pug is excitedly waiting for my new iPhone.
[doublepost=1537022772][/doublepost]In other news people have started seeing
“Preparing for shipment”
Also this is direct from apple but that’s a good sign our phones are flying over now!

The way I took it as and was explained by a US rep, that if you signed up in Jan 2015 and paid your bill on time every month for a whole year. So every bill was paid up until feb 2016. Then in the eyes of T-Mobile system, You would be set to go. Wouldn't matter if you had to do some payment arrangements after that.
I have just to be sure and they told me only way would be to cancel the order and do it again but by now I would lose my place in line. They did reach out to me from the presidents office and mentioned based on history on past pre orders regardless of shipping it will arrive by 9/21 but that’s just based on history, it could very well also be ground shipping from when it ships.
Not sure where you got that info, that would’ve been something they demonstrated or at least listed in the features on the Apple website, or at least a few bloggers would’ve previewed it somewhere.
That looks like the app itself gets a two part layout, but it's not actual two app multitasking.
Yeah, that’s not split screen multitasking of two different apps, that’s just an alternate horizontal UI for a single app that Plus users have been able to do since the iPhone 6 series.
My rep was telling me about it via text last night while I was in urgent care. Soooo, I know it’s real...
Interesting I just called and the rep I talked to said it was in the works but not approved.
Hope your feeling better after urgent care.

I usually order right at midnight on launch day, but was not really going to update this year. I am currently using a 7 Plus 128gb. Works perfectly fine. However, wife’s iPhone 7 has been acting up and is out of warranty and Apple wanted 250$ or more (can’t remember) for a out of warranty replacement last night. So figured I could trade hers in and give her mine. She is happy with that arrangement.
At least until the XR gets released.
Nice. I thought about the XR but I wanted the smaller benefits like gigabit speed and such
Modern pharmaceuticals are amazing at times. My sinuses are doing much better after 12 hours of them. Thanks.
I wonder when it will start? Hmmm, I will just text him what we decided and beg for forgiveness later (boyfriend’s account ).
They might. Lots of people on reddit say that if you chat with TForce then they might wave it.
Not aware of any upgrade fees. At least this time around. Maybe others can chime in..
