Can these be purchased outright once reserved? I was able to reserve a iphone 7 plus 128gb
 
Just reserved a black 7 128! Has anyone successfully used ATT next or any other carrier finance option at one of these appointments instead of IUP?

Curious of this as well. My exact question too. It doesnt seem likely they would refuse sell or force you to buy full price just cause you used some reserve link online. Hopefully they can honor the reservation and allow you to purchase thru ATT Next.
 
Can I purchase a ATT iPhone full price without having an account with ATT I'd be using it for T-Mobile...

Yes I've seen people reserve and pay full price when picking up..
 
Anybody here know for sure if you buy from the Apple store with an ATT Next plan, can you still do the $650 trade in deal?
 
Just reserved a 128G MB 7 Plus at local store.

Yesterday I bought a 128G MB 7 at local vzw by renewing 2yr contract. But now I want 7 plus instead (vzw has no stock), would anyone explain me how I should proceed at Apple store? Can I still buy with IUP? Should I first return the 7 to vzw?

Thank you guys!

I would recommend returning it to VZW first so your upgrade eligibility is reinstated. Then go the Apple Store, and have them process it as a 2 yr contract upgrade. I don't know if they'll let you do it though. IF they don't your options are to either buy it full price or go back to VZW and buy another 7 using the upgrade.
 
Hey guys, so what is the IUP trick exactly? i just used the IUP URL here in new york and i managed to reserve the a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus AT&T at a local Apple store here in new york,

but here's the thing, i want to pay in full for the phone, i dont want the apple upgrade program even though thats what i picked, so what do i do when i arrive at the store? do i just tell them that i want to pay for the phone in full?

Yes :)
 
Still no Jet Black pluses anywhere (somewhat expected), but having any plus stock is encouraging for the week ahead!
 
How are all of you asking the same question when it's been covered over and over again in this thread?

When you reserve the phone using IUP you can pay for it however you like and use whatever financing plan from your carrier.

Yes. Look at you, you sneaky trickster.

Thanks rsbacon. If I return the 7 to vzw, can I sign up for new IUP at Apple store?
 
Can I use this link to reserve and set it up through a new account with Verizon not upgrading?
 
Are they going to ask anything regarding my AT&T Account? i have AT&T Prepaid so i dont want them to be like "oh we can't sell you the phone since you don't have an account with at&t ?

We can't guarantee anything until it worked for you but basically all lights are green on getting it full price. No one has been turned down for now.

And the IUP link being not that public, Apple won't bother. If the IUP stock got depleted in a couple of mins by non IUP users I'm not sure they'd be ok.

Just go unless you have to cancel a wedding :)

Btw, ZERO Jet Black have been made available during the refresh (whatever the store, 7 or 7+ ...)

Forget about it for now.

Thank you for clarifying and finding that. It's a bit early for me o_O

My question, which has been asked by others but not addressed:

AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM phones.
I'm on T-Mobile, but I want a black phone, and all the stores in New York have black for AT&T but not for T-mobile.

So I went ahead and made a reservation for AT&T. When I get there, will I be able to be like "oops I meant t-mobile?"
What's the best way to go about this?

I was wondering the same thing. As far as I see all the site does is run a script scrubbing the Reserve & Pickup site for availability constantly (which is why Apple is so quick to cut it off cause that site is polling it 100 times a second)... the site is utterly useless when the reserve and pickup site is down. I see no email notification option... every launch there's one guy who does a site like this... and it tends to be as cumbersome as just going to apple's site and looking yourself, LOL

I just saw this.. dude, why so much negativity? These guys made a tool for free that helps us get the phone we want. As far as i know, parsing the available.json file that the website returns is the only way to check the stock, so unless he had some inside information at apple, its the best we can do...

I just talked to Apple rep about this and she said you can purchase in full a SIM Free ATT device without issues... so yes I'm thinking you can
