Yes. Leased phones are required to get the protection plan. Thus, Apple Care is included.
It’s your Apple Christmas. Good for you.Got my new case today! Makes me excited to go bigger again!
Are you paying $15 for the Protection 360 Tier 5? If so that already includes AppleCare+.
It’s your Apple Christmas. Good for you.
Haha thanks! Excited to get the phone now! It’s gonna be a long 5 days lol
I was that way with my Max last year. I get that way most of the time with my Apple purchases.
Tey not to let the forum make you crazy lol
I love this time of year! New iPhone season is the best season!
Yep. Or get in touch with the Office of the President.
Some misinformation here.
#1. JOD leased phones DO NOT "come with" insurance. You need to insure with T-Mobile or Apple.
#2. T-Mobile DOES use Assurant for their insurance... but... T-Mobile's "Protection 360" comes with Applecare Services. So as long as you keep coverage through T-Mobile, you can take your phone to the Genius Bar for repairs (including $29 screen replacements). Assurant only comes into play if you need a replacement due to loss or theft.
#3. Choosing #2. Prevents you from subscribing to AppleCare + directly from Apple. I personally prefer to get Applecare + from Apple (monthly subscription). That way you can choose to include loss/theft coverage or not. I NEVER lose my phone. So on my XR, I only pay $7.99 for coverage. (Costs $9.99 for XS/XS Max). Or you can include the loss theft for $15. If you decide to switch carriers, you can keep the coverage because you are paying Apple directly. You'd lose AppleCare Services if you buy T-Mobile's insurance and later leave T-Mobile.
EDIT:
#4. I just read up on Apple's loss and theft coverage... it is also provided by Assurant.

I got the same case!

When does T-mobile usually start preparing phones to ship? Haven't received any tracking info yet but those in the Apple tracking thread have.
I just placed a pre-order for an iPhone 11 Black 64GB for my little brother to upgrade from his 7 Plus 32GB. This will be quite the upgrade.
I've thought long and hard about switching cell carriers for new iPhones but in the end my Simple Choice Unlimited (was 6GB plan previously but TMo upgraded my plan for free) for 4 lines at $120 per month was simply too hard to beat, especially if I needed to finance the phones.
I ordered an extra 2 iPhone 7s from eBay for the TMo trade-in promo and will upgrade both parents to iPhone 11 (they are using a 6s Plus and 6s). I need their phones to last at least another 4 years and I needed newer phones to take advantage of bands 66 and 71 for better cell coverage. I'll then trade their old phones to Apple for a gift card.

I found TForce via Twitter and remembered I’d previously escalated to them 3 years ago when the phone rep didn’t actually place the iPhone 7 order despite signing the EIP, meaning I got bumped to an ETA of end of October. I remember they weren’t able to do much at that point. I don’t know if there is much value in escalating given the previous issue. Still frustrated that I had another issue with Jump and a potentially delayed arrival.

I got my case and screen protector ready. I just hope screen protectors for the Xr work for the 11. Same display, right?
From what I remember, T-Mobile phones were shipped from within the US, so we didn’t have the detailed tracking like Apple. Apple have their orders shipped from China, so they can track the plane their phones were on.
UPS. My iPhones always shipped from the warehouse in KY.
Right now, I’m just waiting for the reviews to see how the reception is. If my job didn’t require me to have better reception, I would hold out until next year.
