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!

I’ve actually done this. You can continue to pay for that associated loan and the 13 as well. You are still considered part of the program because of the 13. I tend to give my last years iPhone to a family member.

I'm surprised most models are still available for 9/24 delivery.
Low amount of buyers this year?
 
So you did decide to make the plunge this year huh? : )

Which color/storage config did you opt for?
Yep...1am I still wasn't sure. But to heck with it, Apple got me. Same storage, 256GB which has worked perfectly for me, went with Graphite Pro Max

The trade in $$ for 12 PM sucked me in, bigger (hopefully far better) battery. Camera upgrades.
 
Placed one of my trade in through Apple with the Verizon trade in promo. However, even though I linked my account, the shipping address is missing my apartment number (it’s correctly included on my billing address). It doesn’t give me the option to change the shipping, only the billing (which already has the correct apartment number). I wonder if I can update it after placing the order.

Lovely! That’s exactly what I was thinking of doing! Thank you for your reply. Did you notify Apple first that you weren’t sending the phone back?

Nice. Probably got that Sequoa Green ordered as well!

I know I did.

Got a 128gb graphite 13 pro for the 120hz display, which is a worthwhile upgrade. Stuck with the regular 12 last year since it was pretty much the same as the pro and the cameras have been good enough since iPhone 4 days.

It very well could be. Lets be honest.. the most prominent new feature of this line up is pro motion display, and to the majority of consumers doesn’t mean much of anything.
 
You did the store pick up? correct?
THIS was not working on my end...kept getting spinning wheel (ugh) I would for the first time do In store pickup, 10am. Instead of waiting for UPS between 3-4pm. Just didnt work.

BUT....LAST NOV. was a bit odd. My iPhone was delivered but some guy in a pickup truck - no UPS uniform, like a Chevy or a Ford F-150 around 10:30am.

If I didnt have my outdoor security camera on, streaming on the iPad and see him stop in front of my home, I would have missed it - sig required...and no answer, he'd take off. (No smart doorbell cam over here, may have to finally get one...LOL)
 
I was tempted to do carrier at first but, I remembered the Apple store opens early on release day. 8am is a lot better than 5 - 7pm a few days later.
That's cheating. 😂 I was referring to deliveries.
It costs a lot 24$ more for me to pickup at the Apple store play a 33 mile journey one way. Hence I chose delivery. I learned this after buying my MBP and IP12PM earlier this year. It always the tax codes are different.
 
Just got my citizen one loan email for my new loan, hopefully that doesn’t mean it’s too late to cancel 😅😅😅
 
Now I’m stuck on this spinning wheel. It’s been about 10 mins…

Well especially the ProMax models no, I was in after 5 minutes, it said 9/24 then had to re-enter card info as usual no matter it was entered in pre-preapproval and then it slipped to October 6-11 (US) for my ProMax 1TB Graphite. One site says this as of a few minutes ago:

“Following Apple's starting to take pre-orders for the iPhone 13 range, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has already slipped back more than a week.

As appears to have already happened in china with its early preorder release, US stocks of the iPhone 13 range are beginning to see delays. An hour after the preorders began in the States, the iPhone 13 Pro Max had already slipped back.

Currently, all models are showing as being available for in-store pickup on September 24, as before. However, delivery of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is now listed as being between October 6 and October 11, with some colors of the 1TB
The iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 13 Pro remain available for delivery on September 24. In China, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini will still be delivered on that date, but the iPhone 13 Pro has already slipped back to between two and three weeks.

It's a similar situation in the UK. There, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is currently backordered and won't deliver until between October 4 and October 11.

However, the UK is also seeing a delay on the base iPhone 13 model. Around an hour into preorders, that too had slipped back to between October 4 and October 11.

It's not possible to conclude that the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the best-selling version of the new range, however. Apple does not release details of how many it chooses to make, or has production capacity to manufacture, of any particular model.

However, it is at least possible that the iPhone 13 Pro Max may be selling more than Apple expected.”
 
Almost all phones are still available at my local store for pick up save a few of the 1TB versions. Looks like everyone really went for it this year.
