For those who got charged, does it say “processing”, or “preparing for shipping”?
T Mobile doesn’t update their status like others do. From my experience it stays in “Pre Order” until it shows “Shipped”.
Nope. I had it on my X for half a year I think? But I took it off, when Apple announced the Xs and the new AC+ Monthly plans. Since I'd be going thru Apple anyway, I'd figures its better for me to do it that way.
Yep agreed. And TMO reps in CO said that it does NOT charge until it ships. Direct from Apple is different however.

From past experiences, it charges once the label prints, but the packages are held for launch day delivery. That’s the only time they can tie shipping to specific accounts.
Hate em!! Got one my kids Xr and it’s that really hard plastic; the kind you’d swear will break the phone taking it on and off!! No thanks
That's why I've found, after testing probably close to 100 different cases over the last few years, that these cases from Spigen are hands down the best clear cases on the market.

I went with the Forest Green leather from Apple ... should look great with the midnight green
These are I what I have used for years, the opportunity is that they do not stay clear for long.

I won’t be taking off much, i’m interested in if they actually stay clear.
Just got charged for one of the phones I ordered for a relative: iPhone 11 64gb Purple. Order confirmation 5:29am PDT. Still waiting on my iPhone 11 Pro 256gb charge.
I have that for my XR and it’s always a pain in the butt to take off if you want to switch cases. But it’s a nice-looking case, aside from the removal
Yes, it happens at any time. As they receive and catalog inventory received, those items are matched to orders (hopefully in the order received, but not always), and those that are matched to orders have the related card charged for any down payment/shipping information and a label is generated. If you get a label generated, you're likely not going to see or hear anything else until late Thursday afternoon or evening as they start moving through the UPS system en route to you.
I have had this brand on my XS Max since May, and it have 0 scratches on the back and has not turned yellow yet.

Yay this is my favorite part is watching the iphone ship lol (besides actually getting the phone)
For anyone who wants to follow the planes:

Planes originate in China, then go to Anchorage, Alaska, before heading down to Louisville, KY, then out to local distribution centers all over the US over the next few days.

We T-Mobile folks aren't so lucky, but you used to be able to figure it out for Apple orders by matching the UPS departure scan with the flight out of China on the linked page that matched, so you could spend 2/3 of a day watching your phone fly to you on a computer screen.
Given the packaging dimensions and our assumption of 5% wasted space, we estimate that 600,000 iPhones could fit into a full 747 freighter and a 767 can have between 195,000 to 220,000 iPhones onboard
I did this for the iPhone 6 release. Omg what a horrible experience. Waking up at midnight to pre order 2ea 6+ and T-Mobile’s website crashed. It was a mess. Watching those planes like crazy waiting for a confirmation that my phones have been shipped. Even though this time around my pre order for 2ea iPhone 11’s was a good experience (14 September @ 11:40a) I have a ship date of 21-24 September. I’ll force myself to stay away from flight aware lol.
Thank you for clarifying. For some reason I had thought the insurance was a requirement for JOD leasing. Appreciate the clarity, apologize for the misinformation.
If I get bored, I'll go back a few years because at one point, one of our threadmates posted a photo of the inside of his cargo plane laden with phones. It was an impressive sight, and might give someone who hasn't seen it an idea of just how many phones are on a plane in a visual sense.
Edit:
Found it!
