I'm so confused. Can somebody please answer my question:

If I buy the SIM-FREE iPhone 12 directly from Apple, will I be able to get 5G by registering the phone with T-Mobile using eSIM?

Or will I need T-Mobile to send me the R15 SIM card?

Did you have to dial 611 from your current phone or were you able to dial from the 12 to activate the new sim?

I called them from my work phone so I’m not sure.

You should be fine to use the eSIM. That’s what I used instead of the R15 sim. They had no issue activating that for me.

Has anyone tried the authenticity of the MagSafe 7.5 capacity? The video posted on here makes me want to return

Pacific blue 512gb ordered at 7:59am est launch day from the T-Mobile site pushed back to 11/12 after showing 10/23 delivery up until yesterday night. Called tmo and was told there’s and inventory issue with the 512gb model and that lots of people were calling in. What a mess.

Got my phone. Now going through the self imposed hell of transferring data from my 14.2 beta iPhone 11 over to this new phone.
