Made the switch from Verizon to T-Mobile two weeks ago. First they paid off the two phones with the keep and switch promotion and now using them for trade-ins on new phones. Ordered iPhone 16 Pro Max Black Titanium 256 GB last Sunday and it will be out for delivery tomorrow!

I work for T-Mobile corporate and we were always told if you did keep and switch you don’t qualify for device promotions until 90 days has passed.

Yeah my order was complete at 8:03am and my label was created at 8:41pm. I’m losing hope for a launch day delivery. It makes no sense.

This is my first time pre-ordering directly with T-Mobile. I was charged on Wednesday, but I still don’t see any tracking information. Is this normal for a launch day?

I’m stumped by the 9/13 preorders that don’t have tracking. Even for mine, it taking so long to update—last year I had active tracking for a few days before delivery. I had lost hope when I woke up at 1 this morning and had no movement, but it updated between then and 4:30 when I woke up again.

I have popped come caffeine pills because I’m not in the mood for raising my blood sugar with sweet coffee, so I’m vibrating as I look out the window and wait lol

In years past, T-Mobile has only done 2nd Day Air for preorders.

This year they decided to go back to next day air for whatever reason.

I've been around for launches when it's been next day air and this is typical movement. I'm not surprised about the way this went down at all.

So Calif
Wife's TMO 16PM was shipped UPS 2 Day from KY.

Arriving today with a 2 hour delivery window for a non Premium My Choice - 1:15-3:15 PM.

Interesting that TMO requires a signature, while mine ordered direct from Apple does not ?

Can anyone who has received one tell me what OS they are shipping with? I need to be able to restore backups from current devices.
They would be shipping with 18, likely 18.0, and there might be a small 18.0.X day 1 update that the phone will need to do prior to you going through the setup process.
