I got my pre pre order in for the natural Titanium 256 gb 🤩. Is anyone else trading their current phone in with their carrier ?

So first time ordering through Apple. What is the likelihood the 512 ProMax will be able to be picked up from an Apple Store on launch day if I get up at 5am to submit my order?

If everything goes smoothly you should be able to

I’m not going to lie, I wish Apple brought that pink to the Pro models.

I agree if that happened I wouldn’t have even debated what color to get!

 

[jsamuels]

BTW, what happens with apple care that is for 2 years when you upgrade in 1 year?

You request a refund for the balance.

Likely. I did this last year. I got in fast on the site and was able to get a 8am slot for pickup

normally I feel good about snagging a phone for launch day

but all this talk of the PM being short handed and everyone getting the natural titanium has me a little worried I might get it delayed couple weeks

ahh first world problems

Has anyone ordered before for home delivery, and then taken your existing iPhone in-store to trade it in? After transferring all your data from existing to new iPhone?

I was told by a rep, I would have send my device in the mail for trade-in. I decided to keep my $850 quote from Decluttr and sell it instead of trading it in.

Pre-pre-ordered the White Titanium 1TB Pro Max today. Used my Apple Card again so I had to go through the carrier this time (T-Mobile). It's pretty frustrating that Apple removed the ability to purchase unlocked phones with their card for no reason.

Friday is going to be chaos.

Exactly! This is new. No monthly finance options anymore getting unlocked, using Apple card??

Does anyone know if Apple uses FedEx/UPS? I don't have a UPS cc near me and the closest one if 30 miles away.

Apple uses UPS for pre-orders.

yep, I am doing the same thing.

I wonder how soon I can pay off the device.

 

[Rob198612]

Well if you trade it in you can contact apple, cancel, and get pro-rated money back. Or if you sell, you can sell it with the AC+ and transfer it or cancel and get money back.

wait how can you cancel AC+

I'm trading my son's 12 since he wants my 14PM.

The phone is actually unlocked, BUT you need to activate it on tmobile/att/verizon network...

 

[compwiz1202]

You select a pickup window. If you get there too much earlier than your time, they will tell you to come back or check for people who have the current time scheduled.

Obviously the later in the day, the more likely you will have some wait in front of your actual time, but not too terrible. Most people pick up and leave, but some want additional support. Go for an early appointment if you can.

Our store always puts us in order of time. So you might get in early if you get to the front before people slotted before you arrive, or you could keep getting shuffled back.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

What is the benefit of trading in with Apple and buying direct vs the promos from the carriers such as Verizon who offers $800 in credits for my 12 Pro?

You’ll get more back from Verizon, but you’ll also be locked into a 36 month lease.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

Idk about Verizon but with T-Mobile they charge a $35 device connection fee of you buy on their site or in store. Not the case if you do it on Apple.

Last year I didn’t pay Verizon’s $35 upgrade fee when I selected ”connect to a carrier later”. I hope the same thing happens when I preorder on Friday.

 

[compwiz1202]

do y'all know when the phones would be delivered after pre order? not sure whether to do delivery or in store pick up. i also have a trade in

If you make launch day, it should be delivered Fri Sep 22

 

[Rob198612]

that $35 fee is the biggest scam in history

My 14 PM has a balance on it with Verizon, but I was able to complete the pre preorder process. Will it having a balance cause issues tomorrow morning when trying to complete my purchase?

 

[lat2801]

I accidentally added AppleCare + Stolen/Lost to my pre-pre order. can I still change that when I check out tomorrow?

doubtful, but you're still going to be paying on that until it's done.

Im pretty sure you can you still go through the steps. Its just the phone storage color is pre selected for you but you still can make changes. They just warn you that you might not get what you want if you take too much time to make changes

 

[andyw715]

wait how can you cancel AC+

Cancel or change the payment method for your AppleCare plan - Apple Support

Make changes to your AppleCare+ plan or AppleCare Protection Plan.

Just pre-pre a new order and don't use the other one on Friday?

Anyone else having this issue with the registration? I am doing carrier financing through T-Mobile with a trade in and when I get to the end and click “Save your pre-order info”, it loads the lending disclosures from T-Mobile. I click agree and it says “Loading” then just takes me back to the “Save your pre-order info” page. If I click the button again it brings up the T-Mobile disclosures again and never moves me forward to the confirmation. I already tried closing out the app and re-opening it. Is this a T-Mobile issue?
