Carrier T-Mobile iPhone X/8 Pre-Order and Dispatch Thread

[jaxbrah]

the promo deal was very underwhelming especially considering how capable my 6s+ still is. i meam in some ways its still BETTER than the 8. but if they come out with a more attractive black friday promo or a different promo for the X i might bite.

Is anyone here from last years iPhone 7/7+ preorder thread?

I am.

Thinking of instead of the trade in at T-Mobile for 300$ should I do 375$ instead for Apple Store trade in for my iPhone 7. That way Apple care would pay for it self and I could get a case too for my iPhone plus. What you guys think?

T-Mobile doesn't play nice with Apple's activation system. It's always been this way unfortunately.

IUP for T-Mobile customers now works online

Are you sure? Assuming you went ahead and pre-ordered the 8 through the Apple Upgrade program?

 

[MacintoshDan]

Does T-Mobile typically have a decent amount of stock of new phones on launch day in their stores? I'd prefer to walk in and get one that way.

Last year every single T-Mobile store around me had NONE, and they had no phones for weeks. (I'm in South Jersey by Philadelphia, a major market)

I am waiting for X but I can see the option for T-Mobile customer to buy with IUP whereas before it was only full price up front. See for yourself on the website.

It says right on their website that it doesn't work online for T-Mobile customers and that they do only in store activations.

"Program available for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X. Available to qualified customers with a credit check and eligible U.S. credit card.

When I clicked on that link to enroll in Apple IUP's program as a T-Mobile user, this is the message that I got:

"To join the iPhone Upgrade Program with T-Mobile, you’ll need to visit an Apple Store and check in with a Specialist once iPhone 8 or iPhone X become available."

I believe for returning T-Mobile Apple IUP users they can process online. For first timers they need to go to store

Interesting, that option wasn't there before, so that's some progress at least. Glad I don't have to do it twice though. Sorry for having people's hopes up.

Can't even log into T-Mobile online. Supposedly their servers are down

T-Mobile's site is up for me.

 

[zellzum]

Ha I've tried and they tell you they can't keep you on hold and to call back. But both times, I've gotten someone within a minute as soon as pre orders opened

I ordered through direct messages on Twitter.

For those that preordered (or are planning to preorder the X), what cases are you looking to buy for it?

Trade it in at Apple IMO

I might do it and get the 8 plus

I also have AppleCare+ remaining on my 7 so I get some extra cash

I feel the same. I am going to wait until there is a better promotion. I have no issues with my 6s plus to justify spending so much money.

Again, up for me. Was it something you said?

 

[MacTea]

For someone who has an iPhone 6/16GB, would you do the $300 credit trade (far more than what you'll get selling) or wait until Black Friday for a better deal? (Maybe free memory upgrade)

This is the first time in a long time that I'm not rabidly refreshing T-Mobile's site for updated order info lol.

I have zero doubt that 8/8+ orders will go smoothly, as demand seems to be down a good bit. Can't see anyone who ordered that first day or so having a delayed shipment.

These so far are the ones I’m looking at:

 

[Alt075]

I ordered the iphone 8 plus I can't wait to get it. I got the gold and don't really want to cover it up though. When I find a case I like I will share it.
