How much is Apple upgrade program per months Say iPhone pro 11 max 256gb. Apple store says $52/month

so I assume $24 x $52 equals $1250 roughly. Plus cost of forced Apple care

so if u make 26 payments u pay $625. But also need to pay full sales taxes ($80-90) most states.

if Apple gives u $600 trade in credit

are u better off just buying the iPhone outright in cash and trading it in for store credit after 12 months.

avoid dumb things like credit check

I paid about $60 a month after taxes for a 256 GB model XS. The total price you pay is the exact same amount as if you had paid cash in full and included Applecare.

So u are essentially paying equivalent of $100 extra in forced Apple care each year whether u like it or not.

I just pay for things up front. The trade in value of $600 for xs max especially for the lower 64gb model really favors just to pay for the phone outright without the program.

Do what works for you. I always bought Applecare before I was a member of the upgrade program so that didn't change for me. I love the convenience of the program and have been using it since it started.
 
I was in the 10/1-10-4 and it looks like it just cleared customs in Korea. Ups now says I’ll receive it Thursday when they were initially saying Tuesday. Just a heads up for anyone in the same window.
 
Ordered the iPhone 11 Pro Max (Midnight Green) less than a week ago. Delivery is set for 28 September - 7 October. Just checked my order status and it's shipped, but it hasn't left China yet.

Mine appears stuck in Shanghai. 3 days hanging out there, was supposed to be delivered Monday, but UPS only says rescheduling. Although I was originally in Oct 7-14

I ordered in the first 4 minutes on pre-order day. Original delivery date of 10-4 to 10-11. My order is just slightly ahead of yours.

Did you receive an estimate delivery on UPS before it said rescheduled? I’m trying to see if Monday will be our day or not. If it comes by Wednesday that’ll work for me regardless
 
I’m starting to doubt I’m getting a Monday delivery...

Im in the same boat. Looking back a few dozen pages of this thread, some people had these same scans, until suddenly the tracking page updated for them and all the scans appeared. one person’s phone even made it all the way to Louisville before the scans updated, so there is hope!

I have a 657am arrival scan in Shanghai and my phone is sitting in Kentucky. But now there is some sort of mechanical dailies and my order is being delayed to Tuesday apparently. Was supposed to get here Monday. We’re all in Kentucky I’m pretty sure.

UPS originally said it would come on Monday. Apple's site says delivery on Friday now, but I trust UPS to have a more accurate delivery date. My AWS5 came on Tuesday. It made it out of China quickly, but then languished in Louisville for a few days. But the delivery date never changed.

that’s happened to me before: I saw almost no movement, then several days of tracking info suddenly populated the night before delivery

Mine is going to West Coast, I'm guessing mine is flowing through anchorage. Willing to bet mine is not in Kentucky. Hoping we're on UPS81 2hrs out of anchorage.

you may be right because I have the exact same arrival scan in Shanghai. Let’s cross our fingers

I’m hoping this is the case, for either Monday or Tuesday delivery
