I’m beyond ready, but I’m on at&t. Just trolling the T-Mobile thread, lol. I’ll be ordering through Apple though, unless the site crashes or something. ?
Got a tip for us?

I'm just happy to be ridden of that crap Intel chip..Love the BLUE!
Ready for the mini preorder on Friday. Pricing is up on the T-Mobile website, looks like it'll be $50 down for a 128 GB mini for me.
finally got charged for my iPhone 12 pro blue model 256 gig. date was 11/10 to the 11/16.... butttt!!!!..... changed the date to 12/04/2020 - 12/28/2020....... FML!!!!!!
My shipping date hasn't changed this entire time, I ordered on the 10/23 and it's been stuck on 11/17-11/30. I'm starting to worry that it's' accurate lol
That happened to me too. I wonder if I could cancel the order. Or if it’s a mistake. I thought they only charged you if they were ready to ship it. That’s way too long. Would rather just keep my phone and wait for them to figure things out.
Question about T-Mobile: I share a family plan with my sister and brother-in-law. Tomorrow we will both be upgrading to new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Is it ok for us to both call separately and order these at the same time tomorrow morning? They are obviously for different lines, but under the same account. This won't cause any T-Mobile system / ordering issues will it? Just want to make sure...
iPhone 12 Pro Max T-Mobile Special Update:
According to the T-Mobile rep I just spoke with on T-mobile.com:
"We appreciate you for having interest on our promo on iPhone 12 Pro Max.... we do have a current promotion called Up to 50% off iPhone 12 Pro Max wherein or a limited time in all markets, get up to $550 off a new Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max (via monthly Recurring Device Credits (RDC)*) when you purchase the device on EIP and trade in a qualifying Apple iPhone."
So sounds like the deal may be $50 more than it was for the regular Pro (keeping it at 50%)...

If you call into TMO, they will charge you $20 for a service fee each phone.
Only the account holder can order / change phones.
TMO online ordering thru the App or website is best to avoid the fee but the account holder will need to be logged in.
I'd do the Apple.com route online and order it to avoid the $20 per phone service fee and account holder requirement.
Thanks. That's good to know about the $20 fee. DO you know if when you order it online, you are able to choose the different delivery address and credit card info than the main account? This is my biggest issue. I don't want it to go to the main account address and credit card info on file.
Both me and the other person ordering are "administrator" level accounts. He is the primary, but my name/account is also listed to be able to edit and view all account information. In fact, I ordered a 12 Pro a few weeks ago this way.
Yes you can use different credit card for payment but I don't know about a different shipping address.
That's only if you bought and traded your phone in with Apple. I had to use my own box and print the label myself for my T-mobile trade in. I used the outer box my new iPhone came in and put my old iPhone inside its original box first and then padded between the boxes.
You can use a different card and different address. Just needs to be addressed to the account holder, so keep that in mind when UPS label drops in the system. I have to do this every preorder as I live in a different address and I pay my family's cellphone family plan.
I saw this then ordered a graphite 128gb pro. Canceled my gold and they said it should be here by Monday. I already got charged.
Yeah. Funny thing is I asked multiple online rep. They keep telling me Nov-17th is latest. I swear, sometime I can do their job.
Not pricing info regarding actual monthly and down payment numbers, but here’s some info on the revised discounts:
T-Mobile ups its iPhone deals right before iPhone 12 Mini, 12 Pro Max go on preorder
T-Mobile's got new deals for Apple's latest iPhones if you're willing to commit to 30 months.
Edit: This deal is actually worse than the original 12/Pro deal. New line with an iPhone 8, X, XR, or 11 trade-in netted you $680 over 30 months. XS, XS Max, 11 Pro and Pro Max netted $850 trade-in on a new line. Now the offer is giving you up to $500 with a new line or upgrade and trade with the above referenced devices. Still a good deal, just not as lucrative for the customer.
Edit 2: It appears that you will be able to get up to a free 64GB iPhone 12 Mini or 64GB iPhone 12 with new line and trade-in starting tomorrow when the Max/Mini drop.

If you log in you can see down payments and monthly before any trade ins etc.
For me the 128 Pro Max shows no down payment and the 256 shows $199
When did you originally order? Trying to see if I am going to have the same issue. 3 of my 4 phones have been delivered but 12 pro blue 256 is still showing 11/10-11/16.
