Carrier The Verizon iPhone X Pre-Order and Dispatch Thread

My phone is out for delivery. I had to take the kids to school and then rushed back home. Found the lawn guy parked diagonally across my driveway. Really man? Gotta drive around until he’s done. Left the signature form on my door though.

So now that we are getting into the final hours, how is everyone setting up their new X? Restoring from a backup, or starting fresh?


I'll probably start fresh, but not sure how to transfer over my Apple Watch and Activity data, if it's even possible.

Start fresh, but still have my contacts and music and all that. So semi fresh XD

Mine just changed from at destination sort facility to local facility. Hopefully it delivers today since I changed my address to a different one and then back to the original.

Deliver by 8pm usually go out after 930 the earliest. You should be fine.

In my area, almost all things I’ve had delivered by FedEx (priority, ground or otherwise) go out before 9 unless the package is late getting to the hub

I spent a good portion of the night rearranging things on my 7+ (deleting app I don’t use often, transferring pics/vids to pc, etc) before doing a full backup to the pc so I have the configuration of stuff (messages, apps, passwords, etc) when i get the phone

My phone is out for delivery but tracking info still shows my original delivery address. I called Fedex this morning and they said they have my updated address... Hope it goes to the right one!

Anyone do a Mail in Trade in with VZ. Are they a##@@ and find a way to ding the value lower when you mail it in ?
Or should I do it at the store ?

I'm not doing the $300 promo. Sold out 7+ 2 months ago. I've got a 6 plus. My mail in trade in is *more* than todays current in store trade in value.

Same here. Got to Mich City IN at 7:30 and out for delivery at 738. Wonder if it was 9 mins later it’d miss the truck and go out Monday. Regardless it’s out for delivery to Valparaiso

It does it by itself. Just make sure you turn off Find my iPhone on old phone and power down old phOne. Then follow prompts on new phone. Easyyyyy.

The apple watch doesn't merge automatically u have to unpair it from the old device then pair with new but somehow in the process it always makes it new and never with my backup

I read that you must setup your new phone from backup of old phone in order to automagically transfer your watch data and setup watch with new phone.
 
Sitting at my local fedex center. Spoke with the manager. My package is being offloaded now. Got here the same time as the truck. Couple other people here waiting to receive the phone.

So instead of wait for it to be delivered I can just show up at the fed ex office and pick it up now ?
 
Out for delivery! Both phones apparently shipped from Memphis at the same time. Fedex must have missed a few scans on one so it didn’t seem like it had left when the other did. Both are now out for delivery!

Don’t want to miss Fedex so we setup a baby monitor outside just in case lmao
