I dont think there is any way to avoid the upgrade fee other than switching carriers.
Same flow as ours but no watch, and we got 64GB Maxes in Green and Gold. Flowed totally smooth with the preapprovals auto filling. Longest part was picking the Pickup Date and Timeslot.I had a nightmare with pre-order last year (somehow, despite preapproval, it went through as a new iUP instead of an upgrade/trade-in, and was a huge mess to fix) so was relieved at how smooth it went this year.
Got in right at 5am, picked my store pick-up time to match the pickup time for my Series 5 watch, and had the confirmation email 14 minutes later. Citizens approval email came a couple of hours later, and order is in Processing. iPhone 11 Pro Max in Space Gray. I'm usually on the new color bandwagon, but the green just didn't wow me this year. Maybe I'll regret it once I see them in person...we'll see.
I love the vibe of the Apple store on launch day, but I do miss the fun of tracking all the flights from China across the world.
Do you already have UPS mychoice or are you just signing up? If your just signing up now it's somewhat worthless to you as you must verify your address before it will start showing you packages being shipped to you.
Both orders moved to processing and was able to cancel the silver 256. Sticking with green 64.
Did this for my X. Worked pretty well. Had some glitches but ended up with my phone at about 7:15am on launch day.
Sometimes if you call and b!tch, they will waive it. Depends on who you get. I like having no commitment to AT&T, so I eat the stupid charge and count my blessings.
Great thread! I ordered Verizon iPhone Pro Max 256gb space gray at 8:03, and already was kicked back to Oct 1-4 delivery. But after reading this thread, I discovered that the UNLOCKED phones with same specs were available for Sept 20 deliver, so cancelled order, reordered unlocked, and will then just move the SIM card over.... nice!
Am I the only one who placed a store pickup iUP order for launch day and still doesn’t have a tax charge or anything on my credit card?
AND you wont pay any upgrade fee either.. Verizon doesnt need to know...
Ordered at 10:57am PST. I thought delivery would be much later since I was ordering this late, but I can wait. Still, I got a 9/20 delivery date. Either demand isn't as high, or the supply is sufficient. Either way, yay for me.

Sure there are a couple of ways but both involve paying full price at time of purchase vs payments. The payment terms are what requiring you to activate the device with a carrier which triggers the "Upgrade" fee.
Purchase a SIM Free iPhone or purchase a carrier model at retail and reuse your current active carrier SIM.

My nearest store never showed in store pickup on any of the variations. But I was still able to order the Pro Max 256 Silver just now for 9/20 delivery.
I don't think they charge your card until they ship your phone.

Ok guys so totally off topic but I saw Verizon come up.
right now I have 4 lines, mine a xs, my husband an iPhone 7, my dad a note 4, and my daughter a pixel 3
can I swap SIM cards to make it:
me the new iPhone pro, my husband my old xs, my dad for my daughters pixel, and my daughter my husbands 7
lol I know I know, everyone is wanting to swap phones
I accidentally ordered a sim free phone so I did get Verizon to mail me a sim card. But I didn’t realize SIM cards can be swapped around. Would that work for me? Then maybe I won’t have to pay activation fees

That is the PREMIUM membership. Most of us use the FREE version. You can route your package to a hub for FREE.
That's the premium membership that lets you upgrade packages and select delivery windows. You're already registered if you can see that screen.
Either Apple’s inventory count for early orders is wayyyyy off and all those early backorders will get moved up or those new orders will get delayed.
Lots of stuff making 0 sense this morning.
Currently, there is a free membership or premium service that costs $40 per year. Premium members receive two free confirmed 2-hour delivery window requests each year. ... Premium members can also upgrade all UPS SurePost packages to UPSground at no cost and on an automated basis.
