Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[Brad7]

Dang. I missed that rumor. All for the best, I suppose. No need for unnecessary disappointment.

What color you going with (if going with)?

Still undecided heh

 

[Nikos]

No, if you buy the iPhone with Apple financing on your Apple Card, it will come unlocked. Even if you select a carrier I was told on the phone.

Right, but we're going to have to enter or carrier credentials on Friday. I'm currently not with any of the major three carriers.

I can enter my girlfriend's T-Mobile info but I'm not sure if that will affect her preorder.

 

[dannyyankou]

Nice, what’re you thinking of getting?

Thinking about the FineWoven case. I might give it a shot.

Also might get a couple USB-C cables

Eventually though I want to get a Magsafe battery pack with Qi2 charging, but I haven‘t seen any announced yet. I know the tech is relatively new.

Edit: I just saw Anker recently announced one! And it has a kickstand too, nice

Anker’s new MagGo wireless chargers might charge iPhones just as fast as MagSafe

The iPhone 15 launch could be big for wireless charging and USB-C.

Nothing is final just redo the safe for the carrier you have. Deleting what you doesn't remove you from the line that's not done until you checkout Friday.

I don't have any of the three major carriers anymore. Pretty sure it's going to ask for my number/zip code with T-Mobile on Friday, which I don't have.

I'll have to either pay for the phone outright or maybe use somebody else's T-Mobile credentials but I don't know what effect that will have on them.

 

[naturalstar]

Interesting. So if we buy a “Verizon” iPhone without tying it to a line.. is it the same as buying unlocked? We just unbox and activate it on any carrier we like?

It used to be the same. I'm not certain if it still is today. Verizon was the go to device to buy because they worked on any carrier. Not sure since the change from SIM to eSIM. I go for the unlocked (any carrier) device and then Verizon if the first isn't available since that's my carrier anyway.

Wait a second, I’m just seeing that iPhone 15 supports Qi2, but it’s still limited to 7.5W? Odd. I imagine they’ll enable 15W wireless charging in a software update.

All iphones are the same there are no carrier specific models anymore.

Qi2 is basically the open standard of magsafe it requires alignment magnets. Nothing is certified yet and it will probably require a Qi2 charger.

Looks like I have to buy it outright then. Sucks that Apple has changed things this way.

That's your best bet if you don't want to risk you having issues or giving someone else issues.

You can see the compatibility between different models here.

iPhone - Supported 5G and LTE networks

See the countries and regions that have certified 5G and LTE networks on iPhone including the U.S., Canada, Japan, Germany, China mainland, and more.

That's not carrier compatibility. Those are models by region. The US gets 1 model doesn't matter the carrier.

 

[lazyrighteye]

Still undecided heh

I don’t recall as an indecisive September as this one. Good fun. I just watched the video on Apple.com, where the Nat Ti is being used by the camera person shooting the commercial… Digging… It’s such an unusual aesthetic. Especially in the handheld space. I keep returning to that one - which is unusual for me. Heh indeed.

Edit: Natty Ti pre-order saved. 😜

It's a list of the supported 5G and LTE networks for each model. From there, you can figure out if it's compatible with your carrier. Ultimately, each country pretty much has one model.

I have a Apple Gift Card that I want to apply to purchase an iPhone 15 but I'm not seeing any option.

Does anyone know if there will be an option for me to apply Gift Card balance and finance with Apple Card when pre-order?

I'm not sure you can do that. I would ask Apple Support.

All set up and Apple Card authorized. Just need to login on Friday and complete!

It gives you the option to add a new line for T-Mobile, so your GF’s phone should be fine.

 

[svish]

Here is the current line up. Glad, the prices didn't increase.

View attachment 2259860

Price increased in India. About $125 more compared to the 256 GB 14 Pro Max.

15 Pro Max 256 GB is around $1925 in India. Very high import duty

 

[IceOnFire]

It's hard to justify an upgrade this year, but I'm probably going with a 15 Pro 256 in Blue upgrading from 14 Pro 128 in Purple which will go to my wife.

 

[xxray]

Good morning friends! We’re already one day closer to our new phones!

 

[cookylurker]

Haven't had an iPhone for the past 12 years and looking to preorder the iPhone 15 pro max. Is it better to preorder for pick up in the apple store or have it shipped to my house?

Yep, same. I only wanted to as I’m signing up for iUP and would rather stay on the launch cycle vs later.
