Favoriting iPhone X in Apple store app

So in the USA you’re forced to pass through a carrier even on the Apple Store pre orders? No way to get it unlocked at launch?

Hi,
How do I favorite my selection for the iPhone X? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks, Jerry

Go through the process as if you're purchasing it and then in the final step there will be a heart in the top right corner, just tap that and you're good to go.

Thank you, it wasn't there at first but just showed up. Tonight, I just go to my account and buy it from there?
Thanks again

Yea and double check what payment and shipping settings you have right away since the store will be down several hours before the live pre order

Note that the Favorite button doesn’t save your desired payment option - I want to sign up for iUP during the purchase, but even though I chose that before hitting the Favorite button, it defaults to the normal purchase when choosing that favorited sale. You can tell because it offers AppleCare+, which it doesn’t if you are signing up for iUP (since AppleCare+ is required for iUP, no need to offer it as an option). So for me I have to bring up my Favorite, go back a step to re-choose the storage size, and then it offers the payment options and only then is it where it originally was when I favorited the sale.
 
Yeah as people said the carrier request that goes out will take the most time. I tried it now with an iPhone 8 and it only takes a few seconds, but during crunch time, it'll probably crawl. That's with doing it with a iPhone with the app.
 
Yeah, anyone saying IUP is not an advantage during preorder is crazy. And plus - why SHOULDNT it be an advantage? You’re on Apple’s in-house program.

Looking forward to preordering tonight and getting a launch shipment. As long as we wake up on time, I can’t see how all IUP members don’t get their orders in before everyone else. That doesn’t mean there will be enough launch stock for all of us, but I’d imagine we’ll all be done ordering before regular users are.

It really sounds like IUP pre approved users have a leg up since carrier and credit check has already been performed and all they have to do once pre orders up is to just confirm the order and choose in store or delivery.

Is there a way to buy outright which doesn't require carrier information from Apple?

Choose T-Mobile.

For me (on ATT Next) it requires phone number, zip code, then last four of SS. After than, I choose what Next plan I want to use and then choose that my current phone is in good shape to trade in. Then it’ll add to cart.

Anyone know what extra information you need for pre-ordering through Sprint?

I'd imagine if that was the case, Apple would advertise: "Join our program and you'll have preferred access to new products!" I don't think that's the case. How is someone on an IUP program going to be preferred over someone who is paying full price? I don't see how stock would be reserved for one group and not the other.

Tmobile model, which is the one I’m getting, will be the absolute easiest. No carrier verification, SSN, zip code entry, or anything. Just select from favorites, hit “Continue”, Pay with Apple Pay, TouchID and done.

Of course, it will also be the quickest to sell out because of this reason, I’m sure.

I’m not sure you can assume that the T-Mobile version will sell out the quickest.
