Can't imagine having an iPhone bigger than my old 6 Plus. From 6 Plus went to XS and found the XS the perfect size for me. Going from the XS to the 12 Pro was my choice and I have ZERO regrets. I always carry 2 iPhones with me: the 12 Pro personal phone and right now a SE 1st Gen as a work phone. I'm replacing the SE with a 12 mini as it's the current smaller iPhone I can get. I run 6 miles almost every day and the 12 Pro fits perfectly in my Adidas running shorts pockets. The 12 Pro Max won't fit at all.
If you didn't run 6 miles everyday you could get the 12 Pro Max; just saying. Is it the size of the phone or the running that's the problem.

I would definitely try to order within 15min of when the site goes live. The earlier you order the better your chances. I've ordered within 5min each time (knock on wood) and always got the following Friday delivery.
What time are they going to star selling this year?
 
So quick question.

Apple says 11/4 delivery. UPS says delivery today but there’s literally no tracking history and it just says “Shipment Ready for UPS”. So I’m assuming UPS is probably full of BS that this thing is arriving today right?

Also, could this be the trade in box?
 
Take me this far

What exactly is pre-approval? Is that just for people upgrading? I’ve ordered an iphone around this time every year (not upgrade, new purchase) and if I remember correctly I could always add it to bag before placing order on pre-order day? Is that what you mean by pre-approval?

also , you might be on to something , the remind me option is missing for me too today when I checked just now

Pre-approval is just so that you can have all your information ready to go so come Friday when 11/6/2020 pre-order starts all you do is confirm and be done with and better chance to secure a launch day device.
 
If you mean the pre-approval process? Yes, Apple likely will do that for the 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max. Likely to start tomorrow or Wednesday.
Yep waiting for that start looking tomorrow for it. Going for a 12 Pro Max love the larger models and the features in camera are a seller for me as well.
 
I apologize if this has been asked, but I have Verizon, my XS Max was bought outright, I will be buying the 12 Pro Max outright, I tried clicking through Verizon's website and I can't order unless I'm the Admin, which I'm not, but if I order through Apple, and chose the setup later option, can I deal with that once I get the phone?

I don't want to get to 7 AM Central to preorder and run into an issue.
 
How heavy are the iPhone 12 packages? I have a 1.1lbs package coming today but it said it’s from TN. Not China. So I’m trying to figure out if it’s the phone or the trade in box
 
I don’t when my phone is coming. At first it was on the 5th but now no delivery date and as of now my phone is Incheon, Korea.
