Hey everyone, Iām back... 
I went back a bunch of pages, and I was glad to read that I wasnāt the only one who had significant issues with preordering this year. The store opened up at 5:05 or 5:06 AM, but it took fighting with it until 5:20 AM to be able to access my saved pre-pre-order. The Apple Store application was completely useless, I ended up being able to push through on Safari on the iPhone and complete the order at 5:21 AM. I have an iPhone 15 Pro in Natural Titanium with 128GB of storage, much to my surprise, to be delivered on the 22nd. The 13 Pro and 14 Pro preorder process was WAY easierā¦ My word. Something has to change for next year, this was an absolute mess!
I did sign up for the iPhone Upgrade Program this year, which required a change of carriers, which I did on Thursday. I switched over to Verizon from T-Mobile Prepaid. My number wasnāt porting over to Verizon, it took me 4 different calls to T-Mobile for them to turn the āPort Protectionā feature offā¦ Annoying! After they finally released my number, it was smooth sailing.
Regarding the iPhone Upgrade Program, I know itās not too concerning considering my iPhone purchase went through, and itās progressing through the process, but I have not received any form of communication from Citizens regarding the loan. I was charged the first month payment and the taxes from the purchase, I just called Citizens, and they were able to provide the account number and confirm that my loan was approved. Whew!
I havenāt seen any action on the UPS application, yet, but Iāll be watching that like a hawk over the next day or twoā¦ As we all do! Haha. Massive thanks to [mention]TheYayAreaLiving
[/mention] for answering my questions about the proper time to change my delivery options! Iām working on Friday and luckily, the local UPS CC hub is only a minute or two away from work! It was so smooth last year!
Itās nice to be back.
