What’s ur status?

I order the Midnight Green 256GB 11 Pro Max and the Pine Green Silicone Case.

I opted for in store pickup (8am-8:30am) for the first time this year as opposed to home delivery. I think this will prove far less stressful than the usual antics of deciphering shipping information, tracking planes and intercepting the package from UPS.

It was fun in all the years before, so I’m here to offer advice and tips from experience.

My case shipped yesterday with UPS tracking, so there’s a feeling somewhat reminiscent of tracking the iPhone tracking days :eek:
 
Quick question for anyone who’s been in this situation. I decided to do store pickup and went for the 11 because it looked the most appealing. Now I’m on the fence and kind of want the Pro. Does Apple let you return the phone and swap it out if there’s stock?

If there’s available stock when you pick up you order, yes. But that stock has to be unclaimed, you won’t be able to take someone else’s preorder inventory, as it’s already spoken for. So you could be in luck, then again you might not, it just depends on your specific store and their stock.

Looking at the website, I still see some Pros for store pickup. The problem is that I’m sure they’ll have a reservation line and a separate one for those that didn't’ preorder. So I’ll pickup my 11 and head to the back of the other line and hope for the best haha.

So lets entertain each other while we wait. What you guys like and dislike about the new phones?
I ordered the 11 pro max and upgrading from 10 s max. Im excited about the bigger battery and the dolby speaker. However, overall I am disappointed about how apple is getting way behind in the game. Pretty much all other companies got rid of the notch and apple still using it. Android has been offering picture in picture and using two apps in the same time. I don’t know why apple is not doing the same till now.

I can see where you’re coming from but where are they going to hide all the stuff for Face ID ? All the other phones that got rid of the notch don’t have the tech of Face ID. Also Apple has never been about being first, if they’re into something they wait until they perfect it and then release it with a better experience.

Well they will have a walk-in reservation so as long as they go in on Friday and reserve one, then they can return and exchange.

I tried making that point a few days ago, but I don't think some people were getting the point. There's not just a camera lens in that notch. There are 6 or 7 other things in there, too.
