I'm assuming you purchased the phone out right

Order from Apple. That’s last couple of years have been bad for me when ordering from ATT. I would suggest the Apple app. It seems to have the most success

Correct. I used to use the 2 Year subsidy but when they got rid of that. I didn't what to use NEXT. So I buy outright

Hi, just a quick question. I'm based in the UK but i'll be in Miami around the time the iPhone 8 should go on preorder.

From previous launches, is there an option to pre order and pick up and pay in store? It will be a sim free version with no carrier. I don't want to have it shipped to the hotel as my UK credit card billing address would not match that of the hotel which could complicate things.

Cheers

Stay away from Best Buy. There’s always threads here every year how they got ****ed over.

especially point 2, and be sure to make a thread about it, emphasizing point 2 to piss off anyone who is backordered from day 1.

What's the advantage buying from the Apple store app over Apple's website? (I won't be buying through a carrier)

You would probably have to preorder the unlocked T-Mobile model since the SIM-free model is usually not released until a few weeks after launch in the US. The other carrier models require you to have an account with them. I'm not sure if they make you enter payment info when preordering for pickup or not.

Within 40 seconds when pre-order starts

For the last 3 or so upgrade cycles, I've always found the Apple App on my iPhone to come online soonest after the store is down. Preordering on there has been a breeze and I've been back in bed in about 5-10 minutes.

The app generally goes live before the website, so you can order earlier
