Pre-approval for iPhone Upgrade Program users is now live. What is everyone ordering?

I reserved an iPhone Pro Max in Silver with 256 GB.

Did it make you start over? This is my 4th year and it’s literally asking me to complete an entire new application it seems. Maybe it’s the same as last year but i did not think it was, etc.
Not here. Had to enter my social, income and housing payment, but that was it. Then I accepted the terms, added payment method and was done. Less than 2 minutes for the entire process.
 
Did anyone need to lift a credit freeze? I've used the IUP for years, just wondering if I need to unfreeze before submitting my re-application.

EDIT: I went ahead and tried without lifting any freeze, it went through fine.

I did everything for the preorder (Orange PM 2TB) but this is my first time with the iPhone upgrade program, if the pre approval went through, does that mean I was approved for the program?
Did you get an e-mail from Apple with the subject, “You’re ready for pre-order on 9.12?” If so, it should show a check mark next to, “iPhone Upgrade Program loan preapproved.”

It did the same to me. I did it on my laptop because it was quicker.

Glad to hear it's not just me, I thought I was doing something incorrectly as I've never had to do a whole new application except for the first time. I guess after so many years they are wanting a whole new one.
 
When I go to that page, the only options are buy and finance. The iPhone upgrade program option disappears. Is my 12PM to old?
Is it opening in Safari or the app? If you open in Safari, it should take you to a public page with information, from which you can login.

How did you know this was the case? I got a notice that more info was needed, but I can't get into the link Citizen's sent me - I'm guessing lots of people are overwhelming the system.
... and have been on hold for 2.5 hours
 
So I was trying to figure out why the iPhone upgrade wasn’t showing up for me no isntead only gave me Apple iPhone installments, but it turns out because I was trading in my device. As soon as I removed the trade in, it gave me options to join the iPhone upgrade program.

Anyone know how to choose AppleCare One instead of AppleCare +? It's saving me ~ $144 over 2 years. I believe I can just trade in my existing phone which is still in the iPhone Upgrade Program in order to choose AppleCare One. However, I would like to use the Upgrade Program is that's possible.
