Interesting - didn't think about that, and now that you mention it, I'm surprised they don't do that.
I think in years past the "pre-preorder" thing was for iUP users only, but they've since allowed everyone to get on board

Yes, as of this afternoon, I picked out two different Pro maxes with T-Mobile financing to get ready for Will. See which one has a store pick up available. I have to choose the Apple Store. I want to pick it up at as I’ll have multiple options on my journeys next Friday.

Does anyone here work in an Apple Store? I’m curious how many phones do they get normally for pre-order for pick up specifically Orlando or Tampa? Area

Dumb question. I have an AT&T phone with sim. I was going to buy straight though Apple unlocked but would it be easier to buy through Apple via AT&T to get the esim set up? I am paying outright and much prefer buying direct without choosing a carrier but if it’s a PITA to transfer a new phone to esim I can change my preorder.
It's easy to buy unlocked without a carrier and switch over your cellular plan. When you set up the new phone, have the old one nearby and it should walk you through transferring from physical sim to esim on the new phone. I did that through T-Mobile. I believe it's very similar with AT&T too.

Here we go again!! I have the 12 pro max. Gonna get the 15 pro. Super excited about it being lighter. Getting old is hell. How has the deliveries gone these past couple years? They requesting signatures? Not able to get that time off. I agree with the previous comments. You all are like my long lost iPhone family. My wife couldn’t care less. I’m all excited. Love the whole progress tracking and story's.

I think they dynamically ship phones for pickup based on order quantity so it’s not like certain stores only get a few phones for pickup. If you order within the first few minutes of preorder time you’ll probably get your phone at launch day at whatever store you choose.

Can we call apple to apply military discount after an order has been placed?
Nope. Gotta go tru ID.me. I even tried to buy a phone with veterans discount last year in a store and they made me stand there and order it online for pick up.

Y'all are seriously tempting me to get an iPhone 15 Pro just to play the order/status/tracking game again this year. It's going to be difficult to sit back and watch (and maybe instigate a little).

I gave in. You should give in, too. Don't leave me hanging like this. We're all in it together!
I'm still holding out but this thread is making it hard to resist the temptation... 😅
