for the 8/8+? yes. I bought the last 2 iPhones at the store, day of release, with no issue. Much easier than dealing with the ****** online order system and phone.
Really?! For the past 2 years I dealt with the BS tracking numbers and shipping and preordering. I had no idea you could just go down there, I thought all the stores were empty for a while
Folks really gotta stop pushing this narrative. Your 8/8+/X will work JUST FINE with TMO. You just won't have access to Band 71, which does NOT mean you'll have no LTE access. And this will affect a super small percentage of users, since it is barely deployed right now.
I'm going to wait until next week and read a few reviews. If there's stock in the store I'll trade in my 6+ that's paid off and get a 256GB 8+. $230 down and then its $17.50 a month for the next 24 months. If another iPhone comes out that I can't live without I'll give the 8+ to my wife and get it. Nobody else is going to give me $300 for a 6+ and since I don't generally upgrade but every 2-3 years it will work great for my scenario
Anyone have the number we should call tonight? Excited for another nightmare year of pre-ordering with T-Mobile 
**please let this preorder go smoothly** lol

I'm excited but at the same time I'm spooked that it's going to be a drag just like last years preorder hahaAnyone have the number we should call tonight? Excited for another nightmare year of pre-ordering with T-Mobile
I scheduled for T-Mobile to call me at 12 to make it smooth it worked last yearAnyone have the number we should call tonight? Excited for another nightmare year of pre-ordering with T-Mobile
I scheduled for T-Mobile to call me at 12 to make it smooth it worked last year
I just tried, it only let's me do it for midnight. But because I'm East Coast, I need 3am. I have their customer service number so I'll just do that. Hope this is smooth this year!

Oh I'm in AZ maybe that's why if you schedule on the website you have more choices for times then the app itself
Living on the west coast does have it's advantages. It'll only be midnight when I need to order instead of 3 am. Haha.
Looks like Apple is offering sim-free model tomorrow as well. Now I'm hesitating on whether just get the sim-free model and be done with it, or get it thru T-Mobile and utilize their trade in promotion and ability to upgrade down the road. If I chose the later route, the phone will be locked to T-Mobile until I pay it off and even after they unlock it, it'll still only compatible to gsm network. Umm decision decision.
You schedule them to call you at a certain time, it helps skips the waiting time if there is any
I tried to do it on the app but it doesn't work. Almost like it's too far away of a scheduling time or something
Wish I'm 30 instead of 40 lol. I can't stay up past 10pm nowadays that's why I made an appointment with T-Mobile store tomorrow @8AM.
