More like $2k-$3k a year for me. My daughter’s 11 is still on T-Mobile and I’m thinking of upgrading her 11 to a 12 and getting her a Apple Watch SE for Christmas. It all depends on the Downpayment.

If your account is in good standing and you have enough EC balance, the 12 is around $50 down in tax ($0 officially)

I think she would want the 12 more than a Apple Watch. I just saw that I would have to put down $49.99 for 128GB and pay $27.67 a month for 30 months. I’m going to put down $125 instead so that her monthly note will be $3.47 more than what I’m paying. It’s my account that I’ve had for 6.5 years but transferred the main number out. I wonder if I will qualify for any rebates? I’m going to reach out to support.

I’m semi interested in the air tags. I bought a PC last year so I can’t afford a iMac or MacBook this year due to I will be paying outright for the 12 Pro Max next month. Maybe 2021 or 2022 I’ll buy one.
WOW. I am still using my 15" Retina MBP from Mid 2012 and even with a heavy workload now with working from home it has yet to miss a beat; and what I mean by heavy workload is 10-12 hours a day on while running dual 24" displays.

If you want to pay off that 11 you can trade it in for $415. I did that with my sister’s and now we’re paying $14 a month for 30 months plus the $200 loyalty rebate

We have just $368.67 left to pay off her device. I’m going to go ahead and upgrade it in December so she can get it for Christmas. In the meantime she’ll be using my unlocked SE 2020 until Christmas morning.

Also joining the confirmation party! Just got the text and email saying my order has shipped. UPS tracking says it'll deliver tomorrow!

For reference, I ordered a Pacific Blue Pro 256G. EIP signed 10/16 at 7:07am CT, confirmation email received 7:09am.

Oh and My T-Mobile says my order has "Shipped" while its also estimated to ship 10/24/2020 - 11/02/2020.
Nice ! I ordered same with EIP confirmed at 7:03 am CT. Just spoke to tmobile and they said it is on backorder ...

My order still shows 11/3 -11/9. Does anyone have any reasonable guess as to how much longer the next round of shipments will happen, assuming I do not get it tomorrow? Could I possibly expect it over the weekend? Early next week? Later next week?

Likely Monday for the next arrival date. As of a few months ago, T-Mobile does not do/offer Saturday delivery. Planes are coming in every day so I don’t think you’d be waiting a full week for the next batch—the one variable nobody knows is how many orders are stacked up in the line ahead of yours—-I’d say neither get your hopes up or be dejected just yet.

Did anyone pre-order in-store? Should I get to my local location bright and early on the morning of November 6th to secure my iPhone Mini or should I just do the same on the 13th instead?

Well bummer. I placed my pacifuc blue 512 Pro order with TMO right at 7AM central. Got email confirmation order at 7:04 AM. I’ve had no activity/changes on my order all this time until today. It’s said “shipping by 10/23” all week. Now today my spam blocker blocked a TMO call. Order pushed back to 11/12-11/16. Communicating with them now just to make sure there wasn’t a billing issue. There definitely shouldn’t be. Oh well.

*edit* Billing looks good. They just didn’t get enough blue 512 Pros in. Bummer.

Anyone else with the PB 512 Pro get pushed back as well? I’m disappointed but life goes on. :)

Reminder : if anyone got charge before 3pm Pacific time today , you will get the phone by tomorrow //

This may not be true. I was charged early yesterday morning. Ordered a 128GB blue 12 Pro, with a scheduled delivery of 10/24-11/02. Even with the charge, there have been no changes to my order, the phone does not appear under equipment installment plans and there is nothing showing up in my UPS account. I'm ok with it arriving next week. But, it would be extremely nice if it arrives tomorrow.

T-Mobile back ends are shockingly slow so it might not reflect on their end. If you don’t see tracking by tomorrow I would say next week for sure but don’t count yourself out yet

For what it's worth, and for anyone sweating it out----I believe it was for the 7 launch, but I've received a phone on launch day that showed a backorder status on T-Mobile's site, was not actually charged to my card on file until the following week, and never had tracking information available. Just hang in there---good things happen, even if T-Mo's logistics are crappy. They at least focus on getting the devices out instead of instantaneously updating the portals, and for my money that's what I'd prefer---get as many orders out as possible vs. have a better backend. I'd prefer BOTH, of course, but given the choice, I'd rather have a nice surprise opportunity.

I don't think that's true either.
My 128GB blue Pro was ordered at pre-order time and my Apple Card was charged immediately.

Since the 16th, no movement at all...

Hoping to be exceedingly surprised tomorrow....

Wow your tracking was showing all the way from China! Mine left Louisville this morning and shows an arrival scan at a facility in my town at around 5pm today!

Has anyone been able to logon to the T-Mobile website today? I’ve been getting nothing but 502 errors all day.
Had some issues loading in the app this morning.
