I requested the Magenta Unlimited 55+ ($70/mo 2 lines) but getting the Max 55+ ($90/mo) gave me more per phone trade in for 30 months. Well worth it.
I’m thinking of contacting T-mobile to switch colors. I have the silver preordered, however I do have the graphite 11 pro max and curious regarding the graphite on the 12. Is graphite a better color?
Haha, that’s key! If it’s anything but a 13 yup sure, you’d get it today. One year I had a Thursday out for delivery and boom, went back by the end of that day to the UPS hub, then out the next day.
Has anyone gotten a label created for them this afternoon? I got charged on Saturday morning for my 13 PM 256GB Sierra Blue (est ship 9/24-9/27) and haven't received any labels yet. Seeing a lot of folks in here with my same phone configuration have labels already from Saturday and Sunday. Getting a little anxious lol
It's Monday. Your order is due Friday. Don't be nervous. I typically see a shipping label on Wednesday and then get my package on Friday.
Yep. Like that for all carriers.... they do orders as they come in. If you had you CC charged, you can be sure Friday you new baby(ies) will arrive.
I'm not 100% sure this is true for iPhone upgrade program loans - I've traded devices in with an active loan with a couple of payments left, and never had an issue getting credits. I just paid out the loan as normal until it was done. I'm doing the same with one of the lines on my account this year, trading in iPhone 11 with a couple of iUP payments left for the free iPhone 13.
Fair enough comment. But I am on the Max 55+ plan already and the benefits of it over the regular 55+ Plan. It's $20 a month more but getting Netflix "free" and I often use the free wifi I get on Delta flights with it. I honestly don't care so much about the other service/speed benefits, but I know they're there.
Yes I'm aware that it in effect "contracts" me to T-mobile for the next 30 months (or I'd give up my remaining bill credits), but I'm really happy with the 55+ plans and rates. The only thing I'd think of switching to as a cost savings would be something like Mint Mobile which is bare bones, but then I'd have to subscribe to Netflix and pay for plane wi-fi separately and would be on de-prioritized T-mobile service with no roaming, etc. Maybe once I'm "fully" retired and no longer mobile.
I’m in the same situation as you except I got a 128gb model. Got charged on Saturday, pre ordered Friday at 5:10am.
No it won’t happen getting it any earlier. I paid for next day shipping and even my UPS tracking info says 1 day delivery but the estimated delivery date on the tracking still says estimated delivery is Friday. Apple is very strict about not having delivery before release day.
Thanks for sharing all of your experiences folks, but I find it pretty hilarious multiple people called me our for being wrong that its possible to get it early, and then someone chimed in with proof of a t-mobile UPS shipment not just early but multiple days early haha!
Irony works in funny ways sometimes! 😄
Anyways if they get their iPhone today this is good news for everyone!
Lawndale - thanks for letting us know about your early delivery. did you pay for 1 day shipping or express shipping?

Anyways what I was going to say to everyone's
replies about early delivery not being possible before seeing someone was having their phone planned for delivery today is....
Even though I have never preordered a iPhone and only preordered Android Phones, then I know for sure I have seen iPhone unboxing videos before the official release day. I am not talking about the most popular tech youtubers but people with less than like 100k subscribers.
I bet we see some unboxing videos online this week before 9/24, which would mean some people are getting their delivery early and it is possible.
Absolutely nothing ironic about what anyone has said lmao.
No one said it was impossible that 1 or 2 people *might* get their package early, but bottom line is, they’re NOT supposed to.
I doubt that package was her phone anyways. Let’s see what she says.
Regarding videos of unboxings, Apple lifts the embargo on Tuesday which is why you see videos before launch day.
Come on now, you even said you’ve never preordered an iPhone before. We’ve been doing this for years. Thanks for consolidating all our posts though, you a real one 👍🏽

It’s not impossible for someone to get an iPhone delivered early but it’s extremely rare. It’s definitely not the norm. Been through these iphone launches many times.
It would be pretty cool if Lawndale receives an iPhone 13 model today but I have doubts that is what ends up being delivered. And if they do, it’ll be one of very few that we’ll hear about getting a preordered phone delivered before Friday.
Also tomorrow the embargo should lift from Apple for those YouTubers that were given a phone to review and you’ll see all at once a ton of unboxing videos pop up. Apple orchestrates their iPhone launches the same way each year.

And if it does happen it’s not as simple as checking the one day shipping.
Exactly. If it happens, it means someone messed up somewhere along the line with that specific order.
The fact that the package was shipped out Friday night makes me think it’s most likely not an iPhone 13 model.
Just received an email and had a label generated for my 13 promax 512 GB Graphite, Original ship date was between September 28 and October 6
Yep, it should be lifted tomorrow. That’s how this usually goes.
