You won't be able to track your iPhone :(
By Monday, you should though, (heck if it was like last year, tomorrow it may say "Preparing To Ship")....and this is where the silly "click, reload page" obsession starts...LOL

Look up UPS by reference number...then you can get tracking and...click, reload page...repeat process for 4 days.

I will TRY to refrain from that this time...it may make the next 7 days go a little faster.
We'll see how that goes. My willpower stinks. 😆
 
Lets be honest ... @TheYayAreaLiving needs the space for all the iMessages that keep lighting up her phone!!! That one time she shared how much space was taken up by emails and texts gave Tim Cook the idea to offer 1 TB.
Current sitting at 2.1+ million emails 😂

Got a 128 GB 13 Pro in graphite. Was really hoping for more color options this year. Would have really like a darker option and some kind of coating on the rails to prevent fingerprint smudges. Matte black would have been perfect.
 
Our pre-approval applications were held up because of an extended fraud alert I put on my credit. Citizens One called yesterday to verify I applied for 2 loans. Very nice lady asked about my loan, told her it was fine. Then I said, you should also have another application waiting for approval with my SSN. She said she saw it and also "checked it off". Fast-forward to today. I did my wife's order first. It wouldn't allow me to use my Apple Card, so had to use my AMEX. Order went through, no problem, except the loan has not been approved. "Pending". They'll hopefully call today, but that likely means she won't get her phone on 9/24...even though that was the date showing on the order screen.

My order went through no problem at all. Apple Card and Citizens One all approved.

Has Apple EVER had a pre-order day go without problems? They've been doing this for 14yrs now. SMH.

We both ordered Blue 128GB PM.

:confused:

My order status says “order on hold pending Citizens One approval”. Is this normal? Just want to make sure I don’t get kicked to the back of the line.

Ordered a Sierra Blue PM 256. Delivered 09/24

Had it ready in my cart. Rolled over in bed. Tapped the screen twice then went back to sleep for 15 minutes.


going to be a nice upgrade from my shattered screen XR

I know! 🙁 I’m traveling for a football game next weekend so I couldn’t risk it. Plus the window was earlier than when UPS opens.

I’ll be here to support everyone else though! ✈️🗺
All good though! At least, you'll have your iPhone on a launch day. That's all it matters. You did save yourself from massive headaches and stress though ;)

I pre-preordered but during the check out process it cleared out my Apple Card number. No Apple Pay option. I had to open wallet, open my Apple Card to retrieve card number again. Still got in for 9/24 delivery.

I also helped my parents setup the pre-preorder. They used a Chase CC and it was fine.

Question for those on the iUP. Once I receive my new phone, can I hang on to my 12 pro and just pay off the associated loan? Will I still be considered in the iUP if I do so? If anyone has experience with this please chime in!
 
Personally, I miss mechanical home buttons. I still have an iPhone 6s Plus that I occasionally press the home button just to feel that nice click. Old times!

i'm going to keep my mothers 8+ for old times sake. trade in wasn't worth it. i had to help her download an app this morning on her phone and instant nostalgia kicked in. good times with the 8+

This happened to me with Wells Fargo. About an hour later I got a text from WF to approve it and an email from apple to re process payment and all went through after that. Crazy I paid off my 12 PM earlier this week and that charge was fine and it wasn’t much cheaper lol
