My annual pilgrimage to these boards to monitor UPS flights out of China...love you guys! But this year I have a different question that I’m seeing conflicting information for.
After years of delivery, I chose in-store pickup for the first time. Question is: do they require you to activate it before leaving? I’m picking up my wife’s Pro Max at 9:30am while she’s at work. Not only will I not have her old phone but she won’t be happy if her old phone suddenly stops working before her workday is over. When they shipped to me I’d simply wait to activate until evening (when all the servers are busted). Can I walk into the store, pick up the phone, leave, and activate that evening? I can’t imagine why not but I saw a few references to “must activate” on various websites. Thanks everyone.
