Does anyone know if apple will buy your old iPhone when you go to do in store pick up for the 6?

And if they do how much will they give for a 16gb iPhone 5?

they will but your card is already reserved for the in store pickup so you wouldnt be saving on the new phone. I think theyll give you a gift card for 100 or 150 for 5

Yeah but i mean it would be nice using that to buy a case and screen protector or something
 
I am curious about this too.

my iPhone 6 said preparing to ship since sunday and I just got the tracking number (with not info on UPS yet) this morning. But I have seen people go from preparing to ship and then right to shipping within hours. So it is probably all good! whatever date it says I am sure it will get here then. :cool: So excited!
 
Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

So the phones are in Kentucky. How does ups get them to houston tx so fast. Especially since it's 1:08 pm central and delivery is by tomorrow morning and it hasn't even been shipped year from Kentucky.
 
Like others, mine flew around the world a couple of times before landing in Louisville :)

There appears to be a UPS MD-11 that just departed Louisville for Newark with my phone on it! (Of course it started a couple hours away from me in Harrisburg, but its like me, it likes to travel...)

UPS is a massive operations with a massive fleet of aircraft. Louisville is their hub. Planes bring the boxes in to Louisville, they get offloaded, then in minutes get sorted, then head back out to their destinations. Mine came in from Harrisburg this morning, and is already on a plane to Newark, which is about 20 minutes from me. Trust these shipping companies. They know what they're doing. I had my first iPod (a 1G Nano) shipped from China in 1 day. It went from China - ANC - IND - Connecticut basically overnight.

they put them on a direct ups flight. The flight time from kentucky to most of texas is only around 3hrs at most.
 
my pending charge fell off my amex so don't worry as long as you have a ship date of 9/19, you will be fine, what time did you place order at?

mine is set for delivery tomm and i have not been charged either

12:48 am PT. The only thing I am worried about is having the paper to leave at my door for them to leave it. Since you can't change the shipping address. I live in a rural area, so it is fine to leave it. If doesn't happen by the time I go to work, I will just make one up.


Thanks, Jeff

Go to FlightAware and search for UPS planes. You'll be astounded at the sheer number of planes they have moving at any given time. They have this down to a science, and the precision is something to behold.

sign up for ups mychoice and select them to leave it at a rear or side door or on the porch. Problem solved
 
I hope, I hope, I hope..

I see everyone with either a variety of shipping notifications and I am still stuck in the whole
Your pre-order for the 64GB iPhone 6 Plus is at our warehouse. Orders placed prior to 11:00 am CT on 9/12 will ship in up to 3 weeks from order date. Orders placed after that will ship in 4 to 6 weeks from order date. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information.

Nothing pops up on UPS any way I look for it. I was one of the people that got up and tried and tried to order at 2AM CST. but got the whole "Sprint is updating the site" stuff... So after about 5 hours on the phone with Sprint I placed my order around 12pm and then waited for an EMAIL to e sign... No one told me I had to go to the order page to e sign. I didn't e sign until 9pm on 09/13. :confused:

I know I won't be apart of the launch tomorrow.... :( NOW I am just hoping I am not waiting a month or more for my phone.. CS said I can't cancel my pre order any other way than refusing delivery so I can't even try the store tomorrow... Crossing my fingers for 2-3 weeks vs 4-6 weeks of waiting...

ON brighter notes... anyone update to IOS 8? Pretty cool.....
