I need some help. I’m trying to pre-order the iPhone 12 max through the Apple app. I want to trade in my old phone and pay with my Apple Card and pay it off but when I select pay I full, I can’t go any further. If I select pay monthly I get the option Apple Card monthly installments. If I select that it lets me move on.
My question is if I choose this option can I just pay off the phone in full. when the first payment is due? Seems kinda confusing.

Yes you can. Go to installments and select Pay Early.

Any guess on if and when reviews for the Max and Mini will come out? I would of thought next Tuesday, but now with the event, I think they might put them out earlier.
 
No, it’s whatever card you want to use. If you have a Visa as your current card but want to use Amex, just keep the Amex on file until after the tax is charged. You will need to call Citizens to update the card if you want your monthly payments charged to the Visa.
What I see when I did it last year I used my At&t account credit card that was tied to my Apple ID and my Citzen loan card was different
 
Question, plan to buy two phones on Friday, I'm with AT&T and will be doing the plan not buying outright. Can I buy both phone in one transaction or do I have to do it in two orders.
 
Ok, so this is a first time Apple order question, so bear with me here:

I'm buying SIM-free. I was going to order through the military site for the discount. I already know I won't be able to get the 10% any other way. I'll lose $120 if I go through the app. If I do the pre-order through the app, can I take it in to the Apple store to get the 10% adjustment later? If it's not an option, that's fine, but I wouldn't know if I don't ask.

Also, I'm not financing, I would just set up the pre-order and then pay with my credit card (better rewards) at order time of ordering. Anything missing here?
Fortunately this year we are able to purchase it on day one with military discount on their website. Last year it wasn’t possible until a couple of days after release. I believe I tried to get the price adjusted w/10% discount but wasn’t allowed. I ended up having to order a new one with discount and then take my initial back to the store for a refund.
But this year I ordered the 12 pro on day one through the website with 10% discount. It wasn’t and still isn’t able to be discounted on the app though.
also, I am in the same boat just wanting to use my CC for the rewards 😀.
 
I’ve never tried to do what you’re asking, but I would give Apple a call to find out if it’s possible. I don’t know about you, but every time I use my military discount, it seems as though I get my shipping dates later than everyone else. If you decide to call Apple, please let me know what happenes as I may want to use this for future purchases. Good luck!
I used military discount this year with my 12 pro and got it on the first day available.

The reviews are going to come from YouTube and tech reviewers. They will most likely have their videos ready to go as soon as the time for the embargo ends. The Apple event on Tuesday will be through Apple and shouldn't have any bearing on mini/Pro Max reviews. The only thing that will happen is that reviewers will have material to create videos posting their thoughts after the Apple event is done.

If anything, they may come a day early, but I don't really see it being too much if Tuesday remains the day. This is good for Apple to just keep the momentum of products going right into the holidays.
 
I ordered two 12 pro yesterday, one blue and one silver, both said delivery 11/25 - 12/1. However, this morning, the silver 12 pro has changed status to “preparing for shipping” and blue one still showing “processing”.

another note, I got the pre-order message for 12 pro max, set the gold one up for wife, it is done and just waiting for this Friday to click to complete the order. The process was easy and quick.

I followed this thread a few weeks ago probably a little to closely. I ordered my 12 pro and just wasn’t feeling it coming from the 11 pro max and just sent it back today. I’m looking very forward to Friday to order the PM. I learned a lot through everyone’s post and information regarding where my shipment was and how to best track it. mine sat around China longer Than others and I am thinking it may have been because it was just trucked from Louisville to St. Louis instead of being flown across country. As much as I don’t want to be addicted to this thread next week I know I will be sitting there with my popcorn following my phone and everyone’s postings. 😂. I already have my pitaka air case in hand and it feels pretty good. I know it won’t protect the phone much but should negate the small step up in size from the 11PM

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted to see. I remember last year seeing there were issues, so I wanted to be sure that was resolved. Like I said, I didn't have problems with the MBP earlier this year, so good to know it carries to the iPhone as well! Thank you!!
 
Question: with iOS 14.2 release candidate out for developers and beta testers, do we think the iPhone pro max and iPhone mini will have 14.1 or 14.2 installed on them? Are they already boxed now? or will they update iOS and then box and ship

That’s awesome. Yeah I’m similar timeline. I wonder if they will actually come earlier or just sit in “Preparing for shipment” forever

They’ve likely been boxed. I’d be surprised if it had 14.1 but it def won’t have 14.2.
 
I have my 1UP pre-approval message on my iPhone where I created the pre-order. On the Apple Store App on my iPad Pro under For You it doesn’t show up. I thought I could see the 1UP pre-approval on both devices? Or not?
OK. Now I understand. Pre-orders only available on iPhone Apple Store App. Not available on iPad
