Agreed - hopefully by the end of the month there are more third party cases (aka leather) with the cover so I can return my apple silicone one
its kind of conflicting information based on apple and t-mobile there should some mention of it on apples website about the special deal but this is all there is
"T-Mobile iPhone 16 Special Deal: Monthly price (if shown) reflects net monthly payment, after application of T-Mobile trade-in credit applied over 24 months with purchase of an iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16, or iPhone 16 Plus and trade-in of eligible smartphone.

Apple or its trade‑in partners reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit quantity of any trade‑in transaction for any reason. More details are available from Apple’s trade‑in partner for trade‑in and recycling of eligible devices. Restrictions and limitations may apply."
For clarification, when pre-ordering the new phone, do you indicate anywhere during the process that you intend to do a trade in, OR do you just go to the Apple Store and setup the trade in there? Thanks
then you should be good to trade it in store. But I would call your local store just to make sure. Some stores might have some weird policies when it comes to trade-ins.
Hi everyone! Welcome back! This year I’m going for the white. I seem to flip flop every year from light to dark. Let’s hope delivery goes better than last year when they “lost” my phone and I had to wait WEEKS before they could ship me a new one.
It will take time. Maybe a month to get some 3rd party cases. I wouldn’t worry too much about that just yet.
Has anyone seen videos of the new camera button in action. I understand the basics, but how can we switch between modes and such?
The $1,000 is correct and it takes care of the current phone being bought. When T-Mobile receives your trade in it wipes off the unpaid balance on that device as you have been billed for 12 months of EIP leaving 12 more to be billed. When Apple gets your trade in you end up paying the remainder 12 EIP.
That’s annoying. I remember being contacted pretty quickly after I emailed Tim Cook. Hopefully they’ll reach out soon!
i a nice little chat with apple support about the message i get and said there website isn't completely updated as of yet since the pre orders haven't started yet... i have always ordered my new phones from apple for pickup after the preorders have started but this was the first time i tried to get them setup before hand
Correct, that option was the old days.
Now, it comes "UPS Worldwide Saver" or "UPS Standard International" shipping these past few years.
Even if it has to sit in the UPS warehouse / airport, it will still get delivered on launch day.
Sorry. No decision on preorder w/o testing the new button layout first. No preorder this year. I will wait until 9/20 and then check out the 16 Pro Max.Its the most wonderful time of the year for iPhone users!
It’s September already and the iPhone 16 line-up was just announced. Yes, It’s that time of the year again. It’s time to place your orders for the new iPhone 16 this coming Friday.

The iPhone 16 Movement...
Once our orders move to process we should start seeing some movement to 'Preparing For Shipment' over the weekend. This usually happens Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon (PST time).
Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!
Here are some notes to help track orders:
If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.
That invoice has the serial number on it.
Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, login, find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.

Apple today announced the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max—its latest flagship smartphones—featuring larger displays, an all-new Camera Control button, and the A18 Pro chip.
The iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch display – the biggest iPhone display ever. The borders around the display are the thinnest of any Apple device. The titanium frame now features a new blasted finish and a refreshed selection of color options: a darker Black Titanium, brighter White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and a new Desert Titanium.
The new devices contain the A18 Pro chip with Apple Intelligence support. It is faster and more efficient than the A18 in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The A18 Pro is made using 2nd-generation 3nm technology and offers a new 16-core Neural Engine with 17% more memory bandwidth. Apple Intelligence tasks run up to 15% faster than on the A17 Pro. A new, faster 6-core GPU runs up to 20% faster than A17 Pro. A new 6-core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores is 15% faster and 20% more efficient than A17 Pro, with next-generation machine learning accelerators. It also supports faster USB-C speeds and two-times data processing for video encoding.
A new "Fusion" 48-megapixel camera and refreshed camera interface offer a 2nd-generation quad-pixel sensor, with 0 shutter lag for 48MP ProRAW and HEIF photos. There is also a 48-megapixel ultra wide camera for the first time, with a quad-pixel sensor with autofocus. The 5x tetraprism telephoto camera is also now present on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The Camera Control is a dedicated, flush sapphire crystal button with haptic feedback dedicated to camera app functions. Clicking the Camera Control launches the camera app. Clicking again takes a picture, while clicking to hold records video. The Camera Control also offers touch gestures, allowing it to distinguish between a click and a lighter press. A light press reveals a new clean preview to help users focus on framing the shot, while a new overlay allows for quick access to camera functions like zoom. Users can press lightly twice to see other controls and slide to the preferred one. The camera app also has intelligent audio treatment to reduce wind noise.
The Camera Control also gains Visual Intelligence, a new Apple Intelligence feature exclusive to the iPhone 16 lineup. Visual Intelligence is invoked by the Camera Control, allowing users to point their iPhone's camera at something and pull up contextual details such as information about a restaurant, as well as take actions like filling out a calendar event.

👏 Congratulations to everyone who received their iPhone on Friday, September 24th, 2021! 📱 https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/usa-apple-com-iphone-13-pro-max-mini-us-pre-orders-orders-and-delivery-status-thread-2021.2304502/page-568?post=30342434#post-30342434 Hello all, Looks like our dear...forums.macrumors.com
Please share your thoughts on which iPhone model you plan on pre-ordering...
Which color, size, and storage?
Are you going to upgrade your iPhone 15 this year?
My original comment earlier in the thread was that i could order overnight from a different shipper to get the UPS driver to arrive well before noon instead of after 6pm.
Sorry didn't say that in the comment you responded to.
Edit: I'm wondering if the Next Day Air package was the IUP box to send the old phone back to Apple. A Next Day Air package did get Apple to deliver my 15PM before 2pm. I was out of town until Tuesday so it didn't matter.
Edit edit: nope, it was an Apple Watch. So I still need to find something to have delivered next day air to force the early delivery.

funny, after spending more than an hour trying to find out from UPS if I can change the delivery to the CC for Launch Day pickup at 10am and not being able to get through the virtual assistant... , I'm thinking of saving the time by picking up my new phone at the Apple Store for a change.
I have spent so much time over the years with tracking, wondering which flight, etc., that maybe I'll use that time more constructively and actually working next week. lol
It has been painful to wait all day for the UPS guy, but I see that last year he delivered at 1:49pm, but I did have a Next Day Air Saver delivery at the same time... . I'll have to order a new MagSafe the day before to try to get that earlier shipment.
I guess I'll decide on Friday morning, and hope i have enough wits about me to be able to choose the best plan.
Several times my iPhone has been delivered well before noon, and it was when I had another UPS shipment that was Next Day Air. Last year it was my Apple Watch, another time it was an OWC SSD I'd ordered.
My assumption is that if I have something shipped to me UPS Next Day the UPS driver will deliver early. Otherwise I'll wait until 8pm for my iPhone.
Last year i was traveling on Launch Day so I just let them deliver the iPhone, but in previous years I have had my iPhone put aside in the UPS Customer Center and I have picked it up before 10am.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but if you sell your phone or treat it back in in one year, you can call Apple and cancel your remaining Apple care + and get reimbursed.
