Not going to call the guy a liar or not but I will say I received my tracking today.

Verizon also has a distribution center in Memphis area. Probably the reason Apple, Verizon, and a lot of other companies that do shipping have distribution centers there is FedEx. Memphis is the FedEx super hub.

A little off subject, but while we wait, time is ticking on the ability to get insurance. I just saw that Verizon offers coverage against theft, loss, and damage for $7.15 a month with a $200 deductible. If you don't lose or damage your phone, paying that monthly premium to Verizon works out to be much cheaper than buying AppleCare (assuming you keep your phone for one year). Also of note is that AppleCare doesn't cover loss or theft at all, and they only cover two incidents vs Verizon's three. I never get insurance, but seeing these new repair costs and the $1250 total phone cost, $7.15 a month, for me, is worth the peace of mind alone knowing that if I shatter or lose my phone, I can get a new one for $200.

imo it's worth the cost of AppleCare+ to not have to deal with Verizon in the event of a claim.
 
Ordered at 2:53am on 10/27, got email confirmation @ 2:57am. Was charged this morning (Sunday), and order was shipped. Never received an email from Verizon about shipping but I did check the origin email with link again and said it shipped and gave me tracking

Crazy how much smoother the experience was for me than last year’s Jet Black debacle.

Ordering through Verizon was the smart move this time around.
 
TBH I originally wanted to preorder from Apple because I heard it was easier. But I am so glad I went through Verizon instead. Question, I plan on running errands Friday (the day its delivered). I'm legally blind so I usually get my phone in store so that they can help me set up accessibility stuff and this is my first time preordering. So I plan on going to Verizon as well as Apple on Friday. Verizon for activation of my X and deactivation of my 7 plus. And Apple for accessories as well as Apple Care. But if I could cut those 2 trips down into 1 that'd be great.
Could either 1. I be able to activate my new phone and deactivate my old one from home? If so how?
Or, 2. If because I already have to go to Apple could they activate my new phone and deactivate my old one? Even though I got it through Verizon.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a true story: Back when iPhone 6sPlus was the latest iPhone, my coworker purchased one through her carrier and did not buy Apple Care. After a few months the phone started having volume problems and headphone jack problems. She took it back to the carrier and they replaced it. Guess what? The replacement started giving her the same problems. I told her to take the drive to the nearest Apple store (100 miles away for us) and let the Genius Bar figure it out. After the Genius Bar told her they couldn't figure out the problem, they gave her a new phone, not a refurbished one. She never had a problem since.

The first year is covered by Apple regardless of where you purchased the phone. You don't need Apple care the first year. So if you plan to upgrade next year, buying Apple Care is not needed.
 
Umm..

Is this correct guys ?

This has to be a mistake right ? If not let’s gooo ! Lol
