Apple.com 6/17 Online Reserve

I was able to find a reservation for a 7 plus! I accidently selected the wrong carrier though. Can't change or cancel it says. Will I have a problem switching it to At&T when I get there? I have to drive 1.5 hours...

It's not possible. If you're using the IUP you must activate the phone on the carrier you have service with.

Well I would be activating it with who I have service with. Since the Verizon phone is unlocked it will work with T-Mobile.

Sorry I meant you have to activate the phone with the provider that it was alloted for. Example- Verizon model must be activated in store with a Verizon account. This applies to the iPhone upgrade program, not when buying outright.

You can't modify reservations... I'd say get there a bit early and see if they have your correct carrier.. it seems as if stock will maintain its load today since many aren't aware of this just yet
 
Guys if anyoneat the store gives you crap, note the following question in the FAQ:

"Can I change the iPhone Upgrade Program to a different form of payment?
  • Yes. You can also upgrade your iPhone to carrier financing or purchase at full price. Ask a Specialist for more information. "

I just reserved a 256GB matte black plus in santa monica.... so glad I got up to check.
 
Restoring from backup :) An iPhone that finally has more capacity than my 160gb iPod Classic. Amazing.

Ok sounds like worth a shot. I am currently not with IUP.. hopefully I can sign up new. I heard this link was only for upgrade of existing IUP??

Crazy how fast the experience is if you pay in full. I was in and out of the store in 10 minutes. No pre order, no reservation, nothing. I have always pre ordered in the past, and this was the first time I was considering skipping a generation. I got the upgrade fever when I was in store, and was easily able to purchase one and walk out.

Nothing beats paying up front. Nothing :D

Glad to hear that you had a great experience.

Do I have to be already apart of the Apple IUP program to do this?????

No. You can buy outright.
I just came back from my local Apple Store with a new 7+(MB,256,Verizon) I reserved 1hour ago, full price with AC+. Oh, I am an AT&T customer.
Pick up window 11:30 to 12:00. I got there 11:45, time stamp on my receipt is 11:53, so super smooth.

Not the answer I wanted, but that just means I either have to buy a 128GB outright or get a 32GB on IUP. Anyone want to make a decision for me? :p

Yeah I've seen people use this link and pay in full and also join in so it's worth a shot keep us updated...

Just came out of the Apple Store here and I got the matte black 128gb atat iPhone 7 plus paid outright in full! Thanks to all the contributors in this thread

Did you need to provide account details when paying in full?
 
excited, I ended up with two reservations since I have a main iTunes account and then separate iCloud accounts for family members. Hoping my reservation for the 256gb 7+ VZW model works out, otherwise I have my ATT one to fall back on.
 
Did anyone have any issues at the store when picking up their reservation while having an online order on the way or prep for shipment ?

Yes. Just tell him device only. Took literally 15 minutes . The waiting in line is longer than the actual purchase . Just got my Verizon iPhone 7+ 128GB black from Apple Store in Lehigh Valley, PA.
