Other 📱📱U.S.A. - Apple.com - New iPhone 16/Plus/Pro/Pro Max US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread (2024)

Sure have. Can highly recommend them and they are reputable. I have traded in phones and tablets through them and always have had a great experience. They are very prompt with payment as well.

If I were trading in a 15 PM I might consider it. But I’m trading in a 14 Pro that has a light scratch in the screen. I don’t expect to get anywhere near what you would.

All that to say, the Verizon deal is not awful. For many of us it’s the best deal we’ll get. But for people that upgrade yearly, there are better options.

15 minutes everyone!!! Here we go!!!

Down to 999 seconds

Good morning! I kept dreaming I where I couldn’t snag an iPhone lol

 

[Ameer_1]

I usually use one credit card for everything which racks up points throughout the year. I'll be trading in my 15 Pro 128 GB for the 16 Pro 128GB and I have a $440 Apple gift card to use.

I’m still undecided on whether I want to get the phone delivered, or pick it up after work

 

[kupkakez]

Is it true you can’t hold it at a UPS Access Point anymore? I had issues with delivery a few years ago so I’m debating on that or picking it up from an Apple Store.

You couldn’t last year. Who knows about this year.

 

[OBirder]

It’s the one thing I enjoy doing once a year. I upgrade my watch yearly as well but, not this time. I already have the Ultra 2 and nothing changed. 🤷‍♂️ I will admit though, this is one year that is not really exciting at all if you have a 15 PM. It’s just a more refined 15 PM hence, S year update. Yeah, wow it’s really dead this year in here. Never been like this before.

I am in the same boat ... Ultra 2 - new colors - I thought they are kidding ... The extra battery life on the phone is probably the best feature ...

I block “Focus time” that morning and pick it up on my way in. I’ll set my pickup for the store on the UWS (and skip the madness that is 5th Ave).

I'm trying to remember all the tricks to getting in asap.. does it matter if we use the phone, ipad or pc? (well my pc sucks so that's likely only a disaster backup idea)

Maybe I’ll pick it up during my break.

Use the app. Open and force close the app until you are in. That’s my go to.

 

[Geckotek]

Different people find luck with different ways.

I’ll have my iPhone app and a PC with the website both open.

I’ve always had the best luck using the Apple Store App

 

[Calisunshine901]

If anyone has ATT they opened up pre-orders about 10min ago

There's a url in your calendar reminder. Click on that to get right in to the pre order area.

That doesn't seem fair.. probably they don't go anywhere but ATT for awhile though

 

[ZipZap]

Hey, whose turn was it to bring snacks?

 

[batristain]

I skipped last year but I'm here for it this year... getting fingers in shape to force close Apple Store app until it lets me in -. TGIF everyone!

 

[trnjackie23]

I was here last year and here again this year 🙋‍♀️ I keep forgetting the method though, should we force close and reopen the Apple Store app when it’s time or just go on the app a min before and wait for a refresh?

 

[HDFan]

Is it true you can’t hold it at a UPS Access Point anymore?

This option is set by Apple when it creates the shipping label. Last year they disabled it. Their general shipping FAQ lists it as an option though unclear what they will do this year. Given my nightmare last year (3 or 4 UPS delivery attempts) I am just going to specify pickup at my local Apple Store.

It also does not mean a thing that they are open early...

 

[kupkakez]

It doesn’t matter. I used to work in telecom, all it means is ATT is taking orders now but they only have so much launch day inventory. They could have opened it up last night and it wouldn’t affect anything with normal Apple preorder.

 

[dannyyankou]

Is a signature still required for UPS delivery?

 

[dweb619_2]

I use to work for them that is only their stock for your local store and delivery stick with apple.
