*sigh* waiting in a Starbucks next to a T-Mobile to try and get an Apple Watch. They sold out this morning but are supposed to be getting more from UPS. I'm hoping soon. They originally said between 10am and 11am but that didn't happen. Watching my iphone on UPS as well.
 
I quite don't get it. The phone comes with a SIM, if you turn on the phone the new SIM that comes in the phone should be activated, and the SIM in the old phone would get deactivated. Do you see any advantage on moving the SIM from the old phone? My understanding is that SIM cards also get modernized from time to time, so I would think it is safer to go with the new SIM card instead of keep using an older SIM. Am I missing something?

Just picked them up. Anyone surprised by the lack of paperwork with the phones?

1 piece of paper explaining the buttons, some legal stuff and the stickers. That's it.
Simplicity not at all complicated that's why Apple is my choice!! Congrats
 
It comes with a SIM but it's not activated. I just put in my SIM card from my 6+ and it's working perfectly.
I just noticed on T-Mobiles site you can "change SIM" by putting the new SIM number in. I suppose I'll just use my existing one. Thanks for the heads up about the removal tool, just grabbed a paperclip from work and put it in my pocket.

That's what I don't understand either, that's how it always was on AT&T, the SIM inside was already tied to your account.

Glad I'm not the only OCD

What's the cost of an apple watch on T-Mobile? 42mm sport specifically.

I was thinking about doing the same thing.
 
OK folks. Now that some of you who ordered 6s T-mobile from Apple.com has received yours, please confirm: is yours model A1688? Nobody received A1633?

Yep, I know it's 99% likely all A1688, but I want the actual confirmation from the people who have the phone in their hands. Thanks!

Mine is a 6s Plus and it's A1687...
 
Man I keep saying yes to the Apple watch, and then change my mind and say no lol. I wish they had more than just white.

you are overthinking. Just use the sim you already have and that is already activated. You'll be fine
 
In response to one who posted - why get rose gold and then put a case on it and cover it up.




Yeah! Like when girls wear sexy underwear! What's the point!

:)

Just get the white band and go on amazon and get a new band for less. Im waiting right now for my space grey. I did consider the white.
 
Same with me, but I gave a tracking number that only says "label created"

Weird that the t mobile website would says shipped when they haven't shipped it yet.

T-Mobile marks it as shipped when they generate the UPS label on their end. However, I don't see you getting your phone until maybe Tuesday since you just placed the order less than 24 hours ago.
 
For those of you with current T-Mobile iPhone 6's, did you just use your existing SIM or is there a new one in the 6s? How do you activate the new one if so?


Used my existing iPhone 6 sim, actually my iPhone 6 sim was from old iPhone 5s, works perfectly in my 6s Plus.

Ah, that makes sense. I got really excited when I saw that this morning, it was marked shipped, until I looked up my tracking number. Just wish I could look up my order in the order status page, still says information will be available within 24-72 hours
