Yes, they cover defects for the first year. But try taking a completely shattered phone to the Apple store without Applecare and see how helpful they are...

Carrier The Verizon iPhone X Pre-Order and Dispatch Thread

Are you referring to the shipping date? If so, don't get excited. FedEx is going to hold it in order to deliver it to you on 11/3.
You don't actually deal with Verizon. It's a third party insurer, and really isn't that bad. My sister lost her iPhone 6 Plus, filed a claim, paid the $200, and they overnighted another to her with case, car charger, and all accessories.
It arrives at the FedEx facility tomorrow. However, when you click on track shipping it says that per shipper request they won't deliver it until Friday.
I wonder how much is the deductible for the iPhone X? Also if I lose the iPhone X and file a claim to get a another one, does my installment payments start over or pick up from the lost iPhone?
I got excited.
I checked origin email and it says 11/3
For a moment I already started to feel the rush.
Man I can’t wait till Friday. It’s been a whole year since that new phone smell !

If you are going to Apple for help setting it up, they can help you deactivate your old phone as well. No need to make a trip to Verizon.
LOL like a new car smell. You are funny.
Your new device will be activated when you turn the phone on.
The new device comes preloaded with a sim that’s tied to your phone number.
Your old device would then be technically “deactivated;” if you’re retaining the old device, you can “re-activate” it by placing the new sim in the old device.
Both Verizon and Apple can assist with completing all the tasks you’ll need to customize the device for your usage, including the above.
Hope this helps.
You know that feeling of great satisfaction when you’re peeling the plastic off the front and back of it.
When you stare into the beautiful clean screen without not one scratch or dust follicle on it.
Then you power it in and the Apple logo comes on.
CMON FRIDAY.
Don’t forget you can cancel AppleCare at any point and get a refund for the unused portion. As long as you never had a claim. Only downside is that they don’t cover lost phones. AppleCare will also send a remanufactured or new phone if you have damage. You just need to call and ask for an advanced replacement.
I hate to admit it but you are right!! I love that first power-up. It's going to be beautiful on the X.
I didn’t get any updates via email but my credit card said charge pending as of today
And then a thousand fingerprints appear on the screen after using Setup Assistant and you frantically polish them out restoring the unviolated beauty.
Based on an issue last year, see below, I ordered them in two separate orders so two packages.
Last year I ordered a 7+ and a 7, the line the 7 was on got messed up (my fault) and while the order didn’t get cancelled the 7+ got held until the line for the 7 was cleared up and the phone got shipped. I learned my lesson and didn’t do anything to mess up the line... but either way if they are separate orders they don’t have a chance of interfering with one another.
Still nothing for me. No charge or change in status since order confirmation. Guess they'll just be processing more orders tomorrow.
Just for the record, Mt Juliet is outside Nashville not Memphis. Mt Juliet has quite a few fulfillment centers including, I believe, Amazon. Though Amazon might be located in neighboring Lebanon. FedEx has their global hub in Memphis.

Always start with the old sim card. I will just install the sim from my 7 Plus into my X. Their system may be overloaded that day, and since the current sim is still active, the X will have no issues. If you try and activate the new sim first, and you have issues, the old sim may still be deactivated, and you will not have any phone that will work, forcing you to go to a verizon store to get it all figured out, with yet another sim card.
My status has changed from processing to shipped and delivery on Tuesday. FedEx had placed a note that says the shipment will be held until Friday but at least it's going to be at the local hub and ready for me on Friday!
