Carrier USA T-Mobile 2019 iPhone 11 (all models) Pre-Order Thread

[MrAperture]

Is the T-Mobile app the best way to know exactly when the phone ships? I primarily check that first, then my bank, then UPS MyChoice and was wondering what's the most immediate and up to date way to check the status of my device.

In T-Mobile on your EIP it will show “Active-shipped” and IMEI of your phone once they’ve shipped your device. For some reason this year they only put first name as reference so UPS My Choice may not find any packages being shipped from T-Mobile to you. Honestly you won’t know until T-Mobile says your device has shipped and they’ll email and text you.

Mine arrived, but I still have 3.5 hours at work and probably an hour commute home before I can open it up.

It’s here!!!!!

I feel like it’s Christmas night. Everyone has their toys, and are busy playing with them. I hope everyone is enjoying their new devices as much as I am enjoying the pro max. It feels so good to be on a “plus” sized phone again.

Any update? Tried to restore my cloud. Wouldn’t work. Did it work for you?

Oh this is interesting

Update: iFixit [probably didn't find] bilateral charging in iPhone 11

Update: Rene here. After this story broke, multiple different sources reached out to tell me it’s inaccurate or erroneous.

My dad is liking his. Honestly though I’m not feeling the matte textured back... it’s awfully slippery. Mine gets here on Monday and I’m concerned I won’t be able to pull off the one handed gymnastics that I constantly rely on for my XS Max (not to mention the fact that it’s noticeably heavier). Additionally the lack of 3D Touch will bother me for a while but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Cameras are awesome though and that’s primarily the reason why I ordered one last minute.

I got my phone through the IUP and I am on T-Mobile. Phone came today and I set it up using transfer from my iPhone Xs. However my new phone is not activated. Do I need to swap sim cards or activate the sim or something on the new one? Or maybe switch to eSIM?

Got my brother’s 11 an hour ago. Oh yeah, he’s stoked.

Just swap the SIM card. It’s easier.

Im still following my UPS delivery. He was literally 2 doors down a hour ago. Now's he's 3 blocks away.

 

[iAdamator]

Just swap the SIM card. It’s easier.

Thats what I ended up doing. Thanks!

Typing on my 11 Pro Max. Very nice. Battery life is definitely much improved, face id is faster. Cam is better of course. Rest is same as my 10S Max

UPS driver went in circles, wow. They made it! Showed up just shy of 8pm. Massive change from the 7. Hope everyone’s goodies are delivered soon. ?

I went down there and they told me that it is still in Sacramento, not yet in my city. For any of you that picked up, was there anything beyond “held” on your tracking info?

 

[Goodeye]

You can tell everyone (For the most part) has gotten their phones as the amount of posts in this thread has slowed significantly.

Try powering off phone and trying again.

Holding down power button is doing nothing

You have to hold volume up and power at the same time.

Is there an easy way to transfer my active eSim from my former iPhone XS Max to my new iPhone 11 Pro Max?

No. Reach out to T-Mobile via social networks. I did mine on Facebook. I wish the ESIM app supported postpaid.
