i ordered via AUP minutes after orders opened up, citizens said they needed to do some kind of fraud alert, got email about 5 hours later that my loan was approved, that was 3 hours ago and my order still says on hold even though I got approved. I imagine the phone i wanted is LONG gone, anyone else with an approval but order still on hold?
Same thing with me and the fraud thing. Order was on hold for 4h. I talked to apple and checked whats going on, they said everything is fine told me the delivery date before i could see it. Eventually the hold came off and im in processing now. Apple reps said they are slammed and orders are behind on updating. Call them and see whats going on.
 
AMAZING job by Apple! I woke up at 4:58am, checked the app, it said "wait a few mins". Checked again at 5am, 5:02am, same thing. Checked at 5:04am, they had my preorder, ordered at 5:05am, back to sleep by 5:07am. Compare to previous years of spending 30 mins - 2 hrs to get my order in!

Whoever invented the pre-preorder system deserves a promotion. AMAZING!!!!!!
I agree. Those little modern day innovations that make it so so smoother for the customer are great.
A bit like the Little Ceasers pizza pickup locker invention.

Agreed - amazing process. Went right through and got my email about 8:02 am.
 
"Girl" here, well....49 year old woman with tiny hands, really....been using the Plus/Max size since the year it was introduced and have no issues at all. Non Max phones seem so small to me now.
Ditto here, small hands, max works well for me. I did love my iPhone X with the smaller screen but I just can never resist the larger screen when it's available.

To this minute, pick up on 24th was still available so I just cancelled my entire order for an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 13 and reorder same with pick up option.

These were both to deliver on 24th as well but last year the delivery was at around 5-6pm that I almost lost my mind 😂 The delivery vehicle literally went around the city and I was probably the last person he delivered to.

Pick up window is 11am so now I know exactly when I am getting it!

I was replying to another person who didn’t know that you couldn’t hand in the old phone when picking up the new one.
You CAN hand in the old phone 'if' buying with an Apple Card installment plan 'only'. Then give it a couple weeks and pay the balance in full if you wish. That's my plan. also because it's instant trade in; sales tax is on the trade difference not full retail price.

Oof ... I can see the point about storage used, but there really is a history about base space and iPhones. I forgot which phone it was that it sold with base and came hardly with usable space after that cause of the size of the OS. Hence the "what's the point". Usually those base models are for Apple displays and test devices.
That was prob 16gb phones. The system uses ~10gb. I’ll be fine w 118gb. And to say base models are for display/testing?? What?

Would you mind clarifying that? I just placed an order to pickup 2 iPhone 13s at the store with trade ins. Will I be able to just hand them the old phones at the store?

edit: placed order with Apple card installment
