It is true. It’s the same every year. Once your order goes to preparing to ship.. can’t do it during the processing stage. You will be able to go on Apple.com and change your address.
Yup! surprising that AT&T was still showing a delivery of next friday. Then again i think Verizon was also. Seems like most folks just went right to Apple instead of the providers.
Maybe AT&T has gotten better recently, but the last time I ordered an iPhone from them it came a month late despite giving a ship time of a week. Granted that was like 10 years ago.
They've been rock solid the last few years.
Orders open early, breeze through the order screens, arrives on Launch Day.
My orders with AT&T are done before Apple opens their web site, haha!!
yup! same experience. The last couple of times i've ordered through AT&T the phone came on time with no issues.
Went with AT&T this year and was a very seamless experience. Plus, the $1,000 trade-in for my 14 PM just made it a no brainer to upgrade to 15 PM. Ordered at 11:15am EST and still got 9/22 delivery for the Blue 15 PM 256gb. Now the wait ... 🤣
Score! Had been squirreling away paychecks for the iPhone 15 debut, but with that trade-in and a monthly slice of just over $13, I'm now team white Tanium.
Of course on the preorder day I drop the phone I’m turning in (not trading in) in a parking lot. No major damage but the bottom of the steel frame is lightly chipped. Think there’ll be any issues with them accepting my turn in for early upgrade?
they primarily look at the front and back glass, in my experience.
You should be fine.
The reason ATT has inventory is they are the "ONLY" Carrier that Locks EVERY iPhone. So ATT customers that know the significance will by from Apple and get the one that can go to any carrier. You lose the higher trade in's by trading into Apple for unlocked. Each way has it advantages based on your needs. IMHO
you can get it unlocked as soon as it's paid off, FWIW.
Not exactly. It needs to be paid off and active on the account for 60 days, though realistically I don’t know why anyone would pay off the phone in under 2 months.
Mine's preparing to ship already! I have had the same iPhone XS Max for 5 years. The longest I ever went between getting new iPhones is two years before this. My currennt phone still works perfectly and the battery's still great. My MacBook Pro's battery is not.
I can't believe how many errors people saw on the Apple site this morning. Such a variety. Mine was "phone number is required" but my phone number was there. In a few seconds the message went away by itself.

Par for the course for AT&T, haha!!
The tracking/updates will drive you crazy (well, at least the typical MR forum user, haha!!).
We've got your order....We're working on your order...we're getting your order ready to ship....it's exhausting
If it says, "Ships by 09/21" barring some shipper issue, you'll have your iPhone on 09/22.
No it will ship from an AT&T Fulfillment center on Thursday for next day delivery Friday September 22. For AT&T most orders will be via FedEx but others will be via UPS.
The AT&T Emails usually start going out about 3:30 PM CT on Thursday with your order update and a tracking number.

Preparing to ship. No selections to change address or anything at Apple.com. Uses ATT billing address.
Figured I'd chip in my negative experience here since a lot of people had positive ones. Got up at 6am ordered 15 pro max 512gb in natural titanium. Got launch day ship date. Then a few hours later an email from AT&T saying they had a technical glitch processing my order. Hours on the phone later find out the system just glitched, auto cancelled my order and there is nothing the AT&T reps can or are willing to do about it. So now will get the phone a few weeks later & have to go in to the AT&T store in person to process my trade in because they couldn't figure out how to do it online. Super painful experience makes me wish I went with Apple on the order.
