I think you’ll need to pay the extra payments on Friday. I called Citizens Bank yesterday to make my 12th payment instead of waiting for 9/22 (which was supposed to be my 12th payment). You could try to call Apple to see if they can do anything? I remember last year I paid my old loan and my new loan in the same week since the iPhones came out later. I forget if Apple refunded me the payment to my old loan. Good luck!
I’m on AT&T and the iPhone upgrade program. Last year (or maybe two years ago, I don’t remember…), I took the physical sim that came in the new phone out, and tried to active the it using eSIM. AT&T reps tried many times to active service and it wouldn’t work. I had to put the physical sim, not yet activated, back in the new phone and we finally activated the phone.It looks like AT&T supports eSIM. I'm going to call AT&T tomorrow to confirm it 100%. I believe you have to check with your carrier if your carrier supports eSIM.
AT&T now supports eSIM on Apple’s latest iPhones
The first major US carrier to come on boardwww.theverge.com
Nomad makes these https://nomadgoods.com/products/leather-skin-horween-rustic-brown-iphone-13-pro, is this what you’re describing? I’d be annoyed with the camera bump wobble.
The phones will still have SIM slots, so if you're getting the SIM-free model, then you can just swap your SIM.Not sure how I feel about it. Or am not sure I understand.
With GSM carriers, you could just swap the SIM card from the old phone to the new phone without calling the carrier and/or using the website to activate, correct? You could just swap and your service would work just fine on the new phone, right?
With the eSIM, how would that work? Would it work out of the box, or would you have to contact the carrier to activate said eSim?
LOL. It will be 7 AM CST so I will have no issues with waking up. I usually wake up at 6 am on Fridays because my work starts at 8 am. Luckily I am currently on paternity leave so I have this 2 weeks off.
8 am for me so I need to set them to get up and i set my calendar so I get notifications
Yeah I picked up a mini as well. I bought a mini 5 last Nov from BBuy for $299, Apple is giving me $225 for it....so not bad $74 rental for almost a year
If you're referring to simply going to your carriers website/app to pre-order through that particular carrier on Sept 17 when pre-orders go live - yes, you can still do that. I just went to the Verizon site just now - it lets you know that pre-order starts Sept 17th. Forgive me if I misunderstood your question, though.So I'm not sure if anything changed since the last time I pre-ordered a phone, so I wanted to poll the group.
I'm seeing you can already pre-pre-order on Apple, which is awesome. However, I was planning on going through Verizon again to pre-order on Friday. Is that still a thing that you can pre-order through your carrier? Please pardon my ignorance, last phone I pre-ordered was my XS three years ago!
Thanks in advance
Verizon says that pre-order will begin 9/17So I'm not sure if anything changed since the last time I pre-ordered a phone, so I wanted to poll the group.

Thank you! Duh, I should have done that first, but appreciate the answer
I have found that going through my carrier (Verizon) offers the best trade in amount for my phone and the process was very easy since they had all of my information, the line I wanted to upgrade on my family plan, etc.
I have had a better shopping experience with ordering from Apple directly. Also, it seems that if you get 9/24 delivery date, they rarely miss the delivery date. When I did pre-order with AT&T the entire user flow was not as intuitive. Also, I do think the iPhone Upgrade Program is superior via Apple as you get an unlocked iPhone. My boyfriend is currently on an AT&T Next plan and his iPhone will only be unlocked once he makes all his payments (24 months I think). I'm not sure how important that is for you as there has been very little international travel in the past 20 months. I'm also not too familiar with the eSIM and how that works. Like @DrexelGirl18 has mentioned, she's seeing better deals ordering directly from her carrier, Verizon, so maybe the same applies with AT&T?
