Alright! I’m all ready to go!
 
I think you were a week late or something. I don't know what happened last year with you. Missed the whole party 🙁 Hopefully this year you can join us. Happy and safe travels!
Yes took a bit to get in the store to finish and by that time I was week late. Yea hopefully not same problem Friday. I always use app to get in although I have my Mac going also LOL. Seems like the delay is messy here in central Illinois to get on their servers.
 
My 13 Pro Max is paid off. Should I trade in with Apple to get $720 off or should I trade in with my carrier (T-Mobile) and get $1,000 off ($705 discount and $294 bill credits)?
If you're not planning to switch carriers, then definitely the $1000 off.

I guess "unlocked" maybe a concern as well, but T-Mobile is pretty lenient on unlocking phones if you been a customer for some time, they will usually do a temporary unlock which isn't really "temporary", its permanent on the iPhone.

edit Tmobile phone from Apple come unlocked

So, this is weird. Ever since the iPhone upgrade program has been available, I've done it, no issues.
Now today, trying to pre-approve, on the step for verifying carrier, it says 'this line is not authorized to activate through Apple Online store" and tells me to make sure I am the account manager on my plan. It is just me on my own plan, I checked anyways and sure enough I am the account manager. Unsure if this is a temporary glitch, or what to do...anyone else come across this?

Just make sure everything is fired up on Friday morning. Make no mistakes. Hopefully, you get the pre-order launch date. Don't want to go through like last year.. ehh. Well wishes to you. Keep us posted.
