Carrier iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max (2019) Apple Store US Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status Thread

11 Pro Max.

I need to see the matte back on the gold and silver color before I decide. Contemplating the green too but need to see videos.

I'm going to go 11 Pro Silver. The green looks slick but it looks like it might sell out quickly

Anyone know if we will be able to do the pre-approval for the new iPhone for those of us on the iPhone upgrade program?

Last year it let me get pre-approved so on the pre-order date I just had to open the Apple store app and confirm it

Yeah that’s true.

At this point I’m leaning gold or silver. I’ll wait for videos later today to see how they look

I set up my favorite for an iPhone 11 Pro online, and have accessed it from the app on my phone!

Question, when selecting T-Mobile, there are 2 options: "Activate my iPhone on my T-Mobile account." or "Buy a new iPhone". Is one option better than the other?? I'm confused on the difference. I'd imagine "Buy a new iPhone" will require more work from me, but wanted to gather feedback.

Thanks in advance!

I went through the upgrade steps and said I was available to upgrade on IUP then it stalled when I hit upgrade now..

I always buy as new iPhone and buy the unlocked version and just pop my current SIM card in it.

Thanks! So after clicking "Buy a new iPhone" you would then also click "Or activate with any carrier later." or would you click T-Mobile there?

I'm going to go 11 Pro Silver.

Remember recently when I said to you "see you at 12am PDT on preorder day?"

Great thread, BTW.

64 GB base even on the pro models, come on Apple, the other guys are at 256GB now.

If you do that, it's link to your tmobile account. It will have a sim card inside. Just turn it on and you are good to go.

I hate you

I’m in for an 11 Pro. I’ve been doing silver/white iPhones the last few upgrades. This time I may do space grey or even gold. Nothing wrong with a little bling. What do you all think about gold?

When are we able to get pre-approved for iUP?

I’m wondering the same thing, last year they let those of us currently on the IUP to get pre-approved; it made the day of pre-order nice and fast...hoping they do that again!

I was looking for that in the app. No dice

So on the 13th you can pre-order to pick up in store on the 20th? And using the Apple Store app is the best method of doing so?

You can usually reserve at Apple Store for pickup. The iOS apps are definitely the best avenue to buying.

Were you always able to pay for Apple Care monthly? I don’t remember doing that before.

 

[Knowimagination]

Interesting was this mentioned and I missed it in the keynote?

You could, yeah. It's definitely a more recent thing

Yes it was mentioned. I would prefer $60 off the price of a new phone instead.

It was. Very exciting stuff

I’m new to iUP. Not sure if that makes any difference. Anyway, maybe soon? Meh, worse case I do it all during pre-orders. I don’t think this year’s release is going to melt the servers like in pripis years

Honestly, with the trade-in i'm getting for my XS Max, I might just buy outright.

I'm dropping to the 11 Pro this year.

Yea that's the only thing that worries me about green too is it could get highly backordered. A new color combined with a later preorder start is a recipe for disaster.

Check this out:

Click Join Now. The select iPhones buttons are greyed out. And it says pre-order 9-13. So maybe no pre-approval process?

Yes. It rolls over into a subscription unless you cancel.
