If we're able to order early and get Nov 3 shipping, does that mean it will arrive Nov 3? Having it sent to office so slipping a day (to saturday) would suck.
I’m actually in the same boat as you. Expect for the photo storage. I recommend you download google photos and use that app. Unlimited storage and instantly backups your photos anytime you hit WiFi.
Wow, if I can get unlimited photos that frees up 30GB. I've been using my 1TB OneDrive but I dont think it is as optimized for photos.
This is why iCloud Photo Library exists. It works GREAT! I have an 80 GB photo library and my 64 GB iPhone has like 20 GB free. And as an added bonus you don't have to worry about the world's largest advertising company creeping over your extremely private photo collection.
Does the shipping address need to be the same for the Verizon wireless account and or the same as the billing address for the credit card when ordered on apple
Quick question. What is the maximum time for shipment delivery has anybody faced or heard/read from anywhere?
When I worked at AT&T some preorders were out 6-8 weeks when we started taking pre orders in the store. It was ridiculous lol.
I'm currently on T-Mobile (with an iPhone 6), but may want to switch networks at some point. I'm going to order a new iPhone X via the Apple Store App full payment via Apple Pay. Will there be any reason I cannot order either a Sprint or Verizon version of the phone (to get CDMA functionality) and then just bring it to my T-Mobile store to get a T-Mobile SIM and have it activated on my current T-Mobile account?
This may be difficult as you need to be with the same provider as the phone you order. When the iphone 6 plus first came out, I was on the verizon plan (still am). I went to one of the Apple stores to purchase the phone and the last one they had was a T-mobile. One of the Verizon reps in the store some how did something with the phone to disable it from T mobile to make it work on verizon. I never had any issues. They may be able to do this again but there is no guarantee.
The phones that you get for Verizon FROM Apple are fully operational and are the same phone as the SIM-free version (works on both CDMA and GSM networks). It just comes with a Verizon SIM card in the box. You can get that and then put in your T-mobile SIM and it will work no problems. I bought a T-mobile version through Apple's upgrade program last year and went right home and popped in an ATT sim and it worked without an issue. Never had to contact T-mobile or ATT about it.
Edit: Now if you get the iphone from the carrier, it will be locked to that carrier and good luck getting them to unlock it right away.
Thank you for this. I've been looking for an answer to this question, but I've found conflicting answers.
So, I currently have an unlocked iPhone 7 Plus on AT&T, and I want to buy the iPhone X. I would like to buy the TMobile iPhone X for full price (from Apple) so that I don't have to enter carrier account information to speed up the order process, and I intend to remove the TMO sim and use my unlocked AT&T sim in the iPhone X. If I understand correctly, this should work without a problem?

Reviews usually post on the Tuesday or Wednesday after preorder and before availability.
I'm going to pay in full and was planning on buying the T-Mobile version on Apple's site as you don't need to go through the AT&T verification. Was wondering if anyone has done this? I know the T-Mobile version should be able to work with AT&T but will I have to unlock the phone through T-Mobile or can I just pop in my current SIM?
If I'm planning to pre-order the iphone through app store app, and choosing to make payments to apple monthly and replace my phone on AT&T – what sort of details do I need to provide aside from payment and shipping? (e.g what happens once I hit 'continue' in the app)
If you already have an existing account with AT&T and buy it through Apple's website you still need to put in your AT&T info and then it needs to connect to AT&T's servers to check your account. If you buy in full the T-Mobile version there is no verification process and eliminates a step.
Do you have to be an authorized user to pre-order a T-Mobile iPhone X full price one time payment if you are not the main account holder?
I think that’s only a few seconds.. if your referring to putting in your last digits 4 digit of Social Security number and zip code.
As long as your within the 5 min mark, that should be fine. Cause I plan on using Apple Pay to eliminate not having to enter my password or payment info.
