Have stores started selling the new cases yet? I have to pickup a MacBook that was repaired tomorrow, so I might try to get a FineWoven case if it's available.


Yes. I was confused at first by the charge on my Apple Card, but it clicked.
I ordered 2 FineWoven cases (blue and black ones) and they are scheduled for ISPU this Friday, 9/15.

I was told T-Mobile 265 pro max $0 down. On EIP excited. Last year it was $100 when financed with t-mobile Still waiting to get ready for pre order.

Switching from Sim to eSIM depends on how your carrier does it. I have done it twice with both ATT and Verizon. In fact I have done it with Verizon multiple times. ATT makes it technically easy but financially hard. ( at least last time I did it- the iPhone 14 Pro changed a lot of things) When I did it with ATT last time, you had to go to the ATT store and pay for a QR card. It was five dollars. But once you had that card, it was unbelievably easy.
Verizon on the other hand has had two different procedures. Originally, it was sort of like AT&T, in that it used QR code. But unlike AT&T you didn’t have to pay for it and you didn’t have to go to the store. The problem was it wouldn’t work very often. And then you’d have to go to a Verizon store, so they could call someone who could help you. I struggled with that on my iPhone 11 and 12 Pro maxes. I struggled with it on at least two Apple watches. But everything changed last year with iPhone 14 pro max. They took the QR code out of the system. And they did it right during the setup process ( thanks apple). That made it go so easy. I have two different phone numbers on my iPhone. Originally one was a Sim and Another was a eSIM. With the iPhone 14 Pro max they made them both eSIMs. And it was the very first time I ever had done it without having to call the special Verizon people. I am sure they will have it working this year too, maybe even better.

Blue or white titanium? That is the question. I have already ordered the silicone winter blue case which is coming Friday

I was waffling between these two colors too but decided on the blue as I have had white for the last couple of iPhones so wanted a change. Originally felt like I’d want to go with the natural titanium but the more I saw it in videos the less I liked it.

Maybe someone can help me, I’m looking to buy the phone outright, looks like there’s an option to pay in full where you can activate it later on any carrier.

I’m still making payments on my 14 pro max, yet it shows I can use it as a trade in, doesn’t it have to be paid off before you can trade a phone in?

And, will they allow me to purchase a new phone since my 14 isn’t paid off yet?

Just want to have everything squared away come Friday as I’ve made mistakes in the past and missed the window before they sold out.

I’m also in that situation, I imagine that they’ll make us pay the remainder of the 14PM payments all in one shot, and apply it to the new phone as part of the trade-in.
