Apple Allowing iPhone Upgrade Program Customers to Get a 'Head Start' on iPhone X Upgrade

[RockJohn]

You have to go through the upgrade procedure. It works, but lots of hoops to jump through.

It wasn't timing out... I had to manually enter the Billing Zip. It had 5 *s, so I assume it was prefilled.

Yep all done yeah now for the final hurdle 2 AM Friday ;-) but it should be faster, carrier, loan and model all confirmed ;-)

 

[joro]

Quick and simple, done within 2-3 minutes and already have email from Apple confirming it’s good to go!

 

[rjjacobson]

Woo I’m done!

me also yeah

 

[slippery-pete]

ok, got "preapproved". It says to comeback at 12:01 on 10/27 to complete my upgrade. How will I be able to complete/finish the order? Nothing is in "my bag" in the app?

Thanks

When you open the app on Friday there should be instructions right away to complete the pre order and checkout

 

[rog]

Just worked for me!

 

[rjjacobson]

It’s live and painless, finished and approved in 3 minutes.

yes for many of us seems so but I am seeing some with problems -- varying kinds -- we overwhelmed the server LOL not likely.

If you need a loan to get a phone, maybe you shouldn't be getting it in the first place. I know I sound like an elitist or something, but still....

I don't need a loan but why argue with an interest free payment plan which includes Apple Care and an annual upgrade (something I have done every year since the original iPhone) Much easier than having to sell the old phone etc...

 

[al256]

So... can you enroll in this program and get preapproved for the iPhone X? Or does that need to be done once the phone is released? I never did this program before.

Verizon is timing out confirming the carrier... Thanks Big V

Same problem. First their service takes a big hit, how it cant connect to the server. Fantastic. Glad i pay more to be with them.

 

[snackdog2000]

It seems to be working now!

AT&T worked just fine for me wonder if there are more Verizon iPhone X preapprovals than AT&T? Anyway I am done

Yes got my phone all preapproved!

 

[FrankySavvy]

Done. However this doesn't guarantee the phone on pre-order. Still have to refresh, refresh, refresh! Then do we go to the iPhone program link or right to the iPhone we want?

Agreed. You do lose some money this way, but take less risk and gain a lot of convenience. Selling a used iphone will get you more than essentially half off your new iphone, but it is a slight risk and not nearly as convenient.

Not for me yet. Still getting the error about adding to bag. I'll try later.

 

[cgriffis753]

Yaaay~

 

[richard371]

Won’t let me enroll. The blue continue is still not active.

 

[STdarkslide]

I’m not seeing anything on the app and haven’t received and email. I’m on the upgrade program too. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Lobwedgephil]

It will have a link to finish the process once preorders open. So yes, still have to refresh until you get in, but should be quick once you are in.

 

[Kirkster]

And it’s done

When I click the link in the confirmation email, I see a message that says "Your iPhone 8 preappoval has expired" I didn't select an iPhone 8 (and the info in the confirmation email is iPhone X ___GB, Space Gray). Anyone else see this when thy click on it?
