Deciding between switching to silver or sticking with natural like my 15 Pro Max.....
 
Did anyone get denied when they applied for the iPhone Upgrade Program during the Get Ready for iPhone 16 series?

I got pre-approved today for my iPhone 16 Pro Max's iPhone Upgrade Program with a credit score of 690. This is the first iPhone I have ever applied for the iPhone Upgrade Program.
 
Mine is ready to go! I won’t be able to receive it until the 5th next month but that’s fine.
 
Ahhhh….the late summer chill is in the air and once again it is time for my favorite group of Apple nerds to unite!!!

This year is going to be a new one for me and maybe you all can help me out.

On Preorder Day, I am usually at home, on three devices, and refreshing like mad to get my order in. This year, both fortunately and unfortunately, I have a family trip planned and I will be in Germany for Preorder Day. I have setup my preorder already on the Apple app…so here is my question. Will I be able to access the store and complete the preorder from there? (Still delivering to my US home address) Or will I have to wait until I come home on Monday and then do it? And probably pushing my delivery past launch day…

Has anyone run into this in past years?
 
Having trouble continuing with an unlocked device with Apple Card financing. It thinks my device is on Verizon when it’s not.
 
I’m upgrading my parents iPhone 13 pros to the 16 pro max. If we can get 1000 off then that be a nice discount.

For myself, I will probably stick with the 15 PM for another year since the current features aren’t that interesting to me.

My parents on the other hand will see a much better battery life increase.
 
All set to go with iPhone Pro Max 512GB Titanium! But after I saved my choice, I’ve started thinking like “man, you should have chosen 1TB instead of 512GB”.

Anyone same here?
 
Coming from Silver/White I am really considering going Black Titanium this year. It appears to be darker than previous "Black" models and I do like to make a color change each upgrade to keep it fresh. 3 days to flip flop back and forth before decision time 😂
 
Just prepared to order my 16 Pro Max 512GB Titanium Black. Not terribly impressed with this year's hardware, but I'm on the IUP and like to replace my iPhone yearly.

I am back for another year of entertainment, watching people obsess over every inch that their phone moves while in transit and those who blow a gasket if it isn't in their hands at 8 a.m. on release day. To see those "traveling together" and others pulling all-nighters and calling out of work to watch the blip on the airplane radar move a millimeter. I haven't been able to order my phone yet... should I be worried?!?!?!?!?! Sorry, I had to be the first person to use the "should I be worried" line this year.
Is my phone in Louisville yet?!?!
 
Went with white titanium 512 GB 16 Pro Max from Natural Titanium 512 GB 15 Pro Max.
 
It's that time of year! Got my order saved and ready for Friday. Going with the Black 16PM this time and handing off my Natural 15PM to a friend who is in dire need of an upgrade from her cracked 12 Pro.
 
Welp I not very impressed with the new lineup but setup my pre pre order for Desert Titanium 256 coming from white 15PM. Not doing upgrade program this time. Financing on My Apple Card.

Figured out my issue. Had aUS Mobile SIM turned on so the Apple Store App thought I was with Verizon.

Fighting with Apple now. Remember the trade in canceled emails that were sent out in error? Nobody updated their records. Also had the phone replaced under Apple Care. Well no surprise the new serial number wasn’t added. It says the loan is not active yet they’re taking the money monthly.
 
Upgrading from 14PM to 16PM

Faster chip, better battery, lighter phone,extra ram and USBC are enough for me. Camera is secondary
 
If we are preorder ready on the IUP, do we need to unfreeze our credit for Citizens when we actually order ir is it just a soft pull since we are already preapproved by being preorder ready? Can’t remember when we get the email from Citizens and whether I need to unfreeze my credit. Hoping I don’t need to.
