I'm waiting for my iPhone 13 mini. I pre-ordered via ATT's website. Did yours come with a SIM card inside. Thanks!
I got the 13P but mine came with a sim. I was anticipating an esim and couldn’t figure out how to activate it. Called ATT and rep activated it by phone.
 
For what it’s worth for those wondering, my 13 Pro also came with a SIM card. It was super easy to activate. Just head to att.com/getstarted - follow the prompts to activate. Turned phone off/on and it was done.

Are you activated via SIM or eSim?
I think SIM. On the settings—>cellular screen, there is an icon for SIM PIN to set a code for the SIM card I guess, underneath that in blue it says ’Convert to eSIM’
I have not physically seen or installed a SIM card. The agent just asked for the ICCID and IMEI numbers to activate remotely and said I had a SIM.

Edit: Phone purchased thru ATT

I thought it was eSIM so got confused on that get started activation page and ended up calling ATT. I was surprised it had a SIM with all the eSIM hype. But yes would now advise others to follow the prompts for activate SIM on that get started page, if you have a SIM it should activate pretty easily following the prompts.

For sure. I wonder why some have reported not having a physical SIM. Strange that AT&T wouldn’t be consistent. Not surprised though… lol
 
So, my order still says in progress and that it will ship on the 23rd of September for delivery yesterday. I called ATT, they told my there was an outage or some BS and that my order is FUBAR and never going through. Anyone else hear this?
Hey, I didn't get told that specifically, just that they didn't know what was going on, but everything else identical to yours, 23rd Expected Shipping Date, delivery yesterday. What do you mean by never going through?
 
Not actually shipped, just a label made. But glad to see progress finally.

PM Silver 256
Ordered 17th

Same here… my fiancées silver 128 PM now has a label and tracking. FX will update when it’s picked up. Now it estimates Tuesday salivary but I’m hoping it slide thru Monday. Shipping from TX to GA.

I received the “legendary” “Great news! We're just about ready to ship your order”on yesterday. My question to the two individuals before my post…how long after receiving that message did it take to received the “shipped” notification..*if received at all*
 
Does Fedex deliver on Sundays? My shipping says delivery on Monday however the package made it to my local location already....wondering if it will come Sunday/tomorrow.

I had the same message Thursday night. That is when the label was created and it will show shipped when FedEx actually picks it up and scans it into their system. Which probably won’t be long. You might get your iPhone Monday or Tuesday depending on what the estimate is from FedEx.

Thank you for providing insight. I guess the only thing to do is wait…..*frustration*

He said there was a glitch or something with my order and that it won’t get fulfilled - that i should place a new order.

Yep…. Mine is in Houston Tx now, I have the FedEx app on my iPhone and I check it often. Monday will be a long wait. It’s crazy how we all are so anxious for a new iPhone… Once we get it and use it for a week or two, the newness tends to wear off. Life is back to normal.

Congrats!!! At least you have a day to have hope for. I’m still depending on “ATT” for updates. You couldn’t have summed it up any better. I’m a tech person and the thrill leading up to release and shortly after release is worth it!!!

I’m a tech guy as well… plus a photographer and I usually upgrade to the new iPhone just for the camera alone. Everything else (apps, look & feel) are usually the same. But I love talking photos.. it’s my passion especially with the iPhone. I rarely use my Sony A7RIII cameras anymore, unless I have a paid job, it’s all iPhone now. They are such a joy to use. Hopefully you’ll see some activity soon.

Thanks for that. I think mine could be in the same state, I think I’ll wait till Monday and see if there’s any movement and cancel.

I chose Phone instead of SIM on att.com/GetStarted, worked fine. When I preordered, I specified my T-Mobile numbers to port for each line, so not sure if that made it different.

Also I assumed they were eSim like others, but per Settings, seems like it’s using the physical SIM, but I never had to mess with it.

From what I can see, this the photos are stunning on the iPhone 13. I’ve been checking the photos thread and all I can say is WOW!!! When it comes to photos, I don’t prefer anything but iPhones. It’s the simplicity of the iPhone compared to Androids. I’ve been rocking with iPhones since the 3g model. *Crosses fingers for movement*

If you have an Instagram account, there a lot more from all over. Do a search for shot on iPhone 13 pro & pro max. Lots of serious Tallent from people using it for more than random shots.
