Store opened up for me on my iPhone at about 5:05, took maybe a minute to place order. Sierra Blue 13Pro, 1TB should be delivered to me on 9/24! Clear Spigen case should arrive today. I used Apple Pay, no issues and the email came through pretty quickly.

I ordered a 13 pro max 128 GB (for myself) and a 13 mini 128 GB (for my aunt) both paid in full with a delivery date of 9/24 both are order in progress. I find it odd that people using a Apple Card or the IUP are having issues with the order.
 
What??? You aren’t going to obsessively track planes with us??? 😳
Wait! I thought he was kidding. Why did he cancel it? What is going on here?

I checked and found, it was buyers remorse. I would have at least kept it for 14 days to test it out first. Atleast, wait for the reviews. You cannot argue or justify the battery life iPhone 13 is bringing to the table. That alone should be a worthy upgrade.

 
For those who made their 12th payment earlier this week with Citizens Loan, were you charged the Early Upgrade Payment for your iPhone 13? I just noticed I was still charged $57 for that. I'm currently on the phone with Apple to see what's going on?

She's checking to see if the Early Upgrade Payment is for the iPhone 13 Pro loan...

I have a big trip planned coming up so I’m trying to be better with $ and tbh I love my 12 Pro Max. Lol at the end of the day most of my remorse came from the fact that just to upgrade it was going to cost me $230 plus first month payment plus activation fee at VZW. So about $350.

.. or I cancel and just pay off my 12PM, enjoy it another year, get a good sale or trade in next year for some apple goodie if I want. Maybe I’ll check in on the fun and see what you guys are up to.

The convos here have already covered underwear choice, so that’s a good start lmao

Enjoy the trip.

The Verizon activation fee can be easily waived plus some courtesy credit for being a loyal VZW customer ;)

However, I respect that. Priorities and whatever works best for you. That’s all it matters.

Hope to see you next year for iPhone 14 pre-order launch 🚀 😈

This is not a good bye 👋
 
and just like that, I hope everyone loves their new phones! I will more than likely see you all next year for the shenanigans :)

Out of curiosity, what's the point in cancelling when on the IUP? Won't monthly payments stay relatively the same? Does skipping a generation give you a "credit" for the next iteration when the time comes and your effective monthly will lower?
 
At 8:01am, I tapped on the Apple store app, and it told me I was early. At 8:03am, it said the store was still setting things up. Well, at 11:30am, I placed my order (iPhone 13 Blue 512gb), and it was a smooth quick process.

Paying off this phone that I actually enjoy having, mainly. I’ll get a good chunk of change for it next year somewhere I’m sure.

But as my message above states, Apple screwed us a little bit by pushing the 12 PM back last year and bringing the launch date back up this year. So I was looking at taxes, 1 “early upgrade” fee, first month payment, and an activation fee at VZW. Around $350 just for me to get a new phone that (in my opinion) has Pro Motion and slightly better battery life.. which will both be there next year. Not even a new matte black color like they predicted.

I’m sure the phones will be great but I think if there was any year for me to skip, it’s this one.
 
Most configurations are now about two weeks out for shipping, but most of the stores around me still have launch day pick up
 
Hey everyone,

Is it normal for a pickup order to still have the "Order placed" status while my order with shipping (and a later date) is already "Processing"?
 
Ordered a 256GB 13 Pro in Sierra Blue. Didnt order until almost 11am eastern but it will be getting delivered on the 24th! The Pro Max had already slipped into early October so I didn't even give it any consideration.
