Question. I went through the process but didn't enter my info yet. My question once you enter your info does it final the purchase or does it see if you can get the loan? I want to just see if I get approved then buy the phone later. Can this be done?
 
You’ve still got to be approved for the loan.

I understand that. Does it give you a next step after that to go on to a final checkout or you're stuck with that phone in the cart?

I just want to get approved but not get the phone as of yet. Get it?
 
Im guessing you’re based in the US? In the UK you have to go to the store to actually make the purchase and pass the checks. Online only handles reservations. I think you have access to being pre-approved though, so that’s probably what that is.

To be honest, just sign up with a credit check site and if you pass there, you’ll be fine. It’s what I did and I’ve never had an issue.

Can't do that, not sure why you would want to. Just do it when you're ready to get the phone.

Not sure about credit checks. But you are not locked in till iPhone ships. You can make the purchase and cx anytime before shipment. I did that on day one.
