All IUP iPhones are unlocked they just ship with the SIM card of whichever carrier you are with.
made it really easy to switch to T-Mobile from AT&T 3 years ago.
Yes. This article is incorrect and makes it sound like it's only for people on the upgrade program. I am not and I just did it, plus I checked on the Apple web site and it said it's for both. I am trading in my XS MAX and it took it in fine and I even got a confirming email.
If you completed it and got the email that said "You're ready..." then you're all set. Since I had to unfreeze my credit for my wife's pre-order of the 12 Pro my guess is that they do credit report every 2-3 years for your account.
I'd still get it done sooner, rather than later. You don't want to be scrambling Friday morning. Technically, you don't have to do the pre-order but it helps come Friday morning as you won't have to select the phone, color, carrier, etc.
Same issue exactly and was first denied loan. But now resolved. Called citizen and talked to a nice guy. He transferred me to their billing who were able to apply that missing payment. When logging into citizen website the loan on my 11pro didn’t show all history but even though it looked like I made 13 payments it made sense to make that last one because the October payment didn’t go through (it was just when I ordered the 12 pro for which I was charged and refunded on the new loan). So basically think of it that if you got your 11 pro on day one you really going to make 14 payments! Waited 30 min and applied again and now good to go.
The preapproval isn't limited to the IUP you can also get preapproved if you are using Apple's Applecard 24 Payment 0% method.
I was thinking to get Graphite but order P-Blue .Went to Apple store checking out the P Blue very cool like it (the side are very dark), I am so dump forgot to ask the Graphite one .
Thanks! I just went through and am all set. On Friday when I go to complete the actual pre-order, how does it know what I am preapproved? I want to get in and out as fast as possible and cannot remember the process. Does it have my model and details saved and will automatically come up when it is ready to preorder?
He got approval for the 24 month Barclays finance. Not the upgrade programme
If you went through and setup the purchase just as you wanted and you got the email confirmation that you are all set, then that's it! It already knows everything it needs. Just go in the app and order it on Friday. No need to tell it all the details again cuz you've already done that. Is that what you are asking?
Last year i did pre oder still missed out on Release date .Hopefully i will get my 12Pro max this Friday !Same! I set a reminder to remind me to set an alarm
I was quick last year and also slipped.
I can't remember if this is right or not. This Friday when we check out it is for the tax only, right?

I have been waiting to pre-order 12 mini since a month! My XR is just too big. Hope Xfinity Mobile website does not crash on Friday.
I also was wondering when you go into the app on Friday how many screens or where you needed to go initially if everything is already pre-approved. Thanks!
Thankfully no issues here - already on an Apple plan for my current phone, and I got through all the steps. I wonder how quickly the Max is going to sell out.
Didn’t have any problems here. Got pre-approved for a Pacific Blue Pro Max 512GB on the iPhone upgrade program. Can’t wait!
