Same here. I think that's the problem. It can't verify the account, even when you manually enter the number and last 4 of SSN.
Ditto... my SO has regular SIM and the pre-approval was painless! I’m stuck right now... will try to call Apple Customer Care. Not sure if this is an issue w. T-Mobile (like few years ago) or on Apple’s end?
Would appreciate if others w. eSim share their pre-approval experience and if it worked for anyone (I’m w. T-Mobile).
I am new and was able to apply for preapproval. Did I read correctly I can choose a different device if my wife changes ht mind by preorder?
you can only change it during the actual pre-order (5am Pacific on September 13). until then, your pre-approval is stuck with what you chose.
Thanks. We're good as long as we can change it then. Will it do another credit check if the new device costs more?
I don't believe so. The credit check should cover you within the range of price-differences (we're talking a few hundred bucks at most).
Didn't get the email but went ahead and completed the preapproval process through the Apple Store app. Midnight Green 256 Pro
If you have another iPhone (or family members) that has a physical sim, you can complete the pre-approved process from their device. You just have to log in with your Apple ID within the Apple Store app and make sure you select your current iPhone that you're upgrading to (if you're an existing iUP member). It shouldn't error out on the carrier verification screen.
I was able to use my AT&T work iPhone 8 without any issues!

Hmm I got to another screen it says that mobile confirm with carrier. I have to put my number and last 4 SSN. So maybe it's not e sim that's the issue
I got to that screen too and it gives me the error "We're sorry. This feature is momentarily unavailable. Please try again later." and "We can't connect to your wireless carrier at this time. Please try again later. We're sorry for the inconvenience." Wondering if once you enter the info, it does some handshake with the sim to verify the network.
