Typically if you've been charged it means a specific phone has been allocated for you. Is there an IMEI on your EIP summary online?

My concern is that I haven't been charged and there is no sign of any movement. This is typical of you are on backorder. So, looks like my configuration is backordered, and hopefully their estimate is correct.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply back and it gives me some comfort haha!

Yes! I just checked my account and there is an IMEI number assigned already... so that means it's between UPS and T-Mo to get the package out... ugh I'm wonder why it's taking so long to get the package out...

Is this the first year that T Mobile has offered the $200 loyalty offer? Do you think this will be offered next year as well? I was hoping to upgrade next year from my XS Max but the trade in value plus loyalty is a compelling reason to upgrade.

This year seems to be the first time they are issuing digital Mastercard rebate monies.
Last year, I got a really sweet deal to trade in my 7 for 11 which I jumped on because no way I could sell it private party and get that much....

Nobody knows and this is why I'm going from my 8+ (which works great and I'm perfectly happy with) to the 12 mini. Getting $615 back in credits and prepaid CC won't be beaten anywhere so I'm jumping on it.

Just picked up my 128 GB Pro Pacific blue from the UPS store. My shipping range was 10/24-11/02. Just an FYI: the phone was originally to be delivered yesterday but since I rerouted the shipment on Sunday night, it took one extra day to be delivered. Not a big deal, just wanted to warn others.

I originally had an 11/3-11/9 shipping date when I pre ordered. I noticed that on Sunday night it changed to 10/25-10/27 and I got charged for the taxes. Just barely my status changed from "Pre order" to "Shipped". It will be here tomorrow!

For the curious, I got 128 GB iPhone 12 Pro in Pacific Blue.

Congratulation! I had the same original shipping estimate as you, tho mine seems like its going to stick.

I picked my Blue 12 up at an Apple store, and there were hand santizer pumps on every table, along with wipes if I recall correctly. I assume these phones are getting a lot of the normal hands on wear plus the wear and tear of santizer and constant wiping, which I know I'm not doing to my phone. I think it will end up fine, been having my 12 stand up on the table with its flat blue side all weekend and haven't seen any wear.

This is great! I hope my 11/10-11/16 updates as well 256 PB. I spoke with a t-mobile rep at the gym (she works at a retail location.) FWIW She told me that since this iphone being 5G that more users switched to t-mobile from other carriers than any other iPhone launch - T-mobile forecasting did not expect that.

I knew that would happen when ATT & VZW showed how pitiful their 5G coverage was - T Mobile was poised to take over.

And to boot, TMO does not charge extra for 5G access - unlike ATT & VZW who makes you upgrade your monthly plans.....
