Annoyed that yet again you can't pre-pre-order from the Veterans & Military store. Will likely be preordering 16/128 in Ultramarine and Teal for my husband and I. We'll be doing a trade and paying in full as I won't pay $100 more per month to get the phones "free" from TMobile.

All ready for Friday, 16PM 256gb natural titanium, upgrading through IUP from 15PM 256GB black titanium. For those who have natural titanium 15 PM, is it like silver? Because if yes I’ll change to white. Using my AC for the 3% cash back.

I have a natural titanium 15 Pro (not max, but same color). It's definitely not silver. It's gray with undertones of gold that tend to show in artificial light. It's pretty.

Been 3 years since I’ve gotten to partake in the joy of tracking random Chinese flights through Alaska with our phones 😂 looking forward to the new phone and new shenanigans from the pros on here

Ready for pre-order. 16 Pro 256GB White Titanium. I usually tend to upgrade at the 3/4-year mark but I'm retiring my backup XR (battery is at 75% and fading pretty quickly); my current 14 will become my backup.

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.


Pre-Order Date:
Friday, September 13, 2024 at 08:00 AM (EST)

Official Launch Date:
Friday, September 20, 2024 (All Day)

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.
Link to track your iPhone via UPS:
https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/

Tracking | UPS - United States​

Track one or multiple packages with UPS Tracking, use your tracking number to track the status of your package.
www.ups.com
Detailed Tracking
Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:
Track your UPS shipments here using your reference number
If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. For example: Say your order number is: W123456789, You'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.

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.

16 pro

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.

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 16 this year?

Back again after last year. Going to upgrade to White Titanium iPhone 16 Pro and the wife is getting the Teal iPhone 16. Sticking with 128gb still haven’t filled it up!

This truly is annoying, isn't it? Same with them not putting certain items on there like the Hermés Apple Watch (second year in a row they've done that).

I totally get not allowing the Apple Card monthly payments with 0% interest on discounted items. But at least let me pre-order and pay-in-full with the discount.

"Thanks for your service, but we're not gonna let you access the full Apple Store and the pre-order programs". 🙃
 
Marking my spot! Ready for pre-order with a White Titanium 16 Pro. Did Natural Titanium last year and I’m ready to go back to basic so I can swap transparent cases and see the truest color 🙂 (on the color note, I gotta say that the Ultramarine and Teal 16 are sooo tempting, but I can’t go backward from Pro).

When selecting my carrier (AT&T), will I have to enter account info on Friday morning? I have always selected connect to any carrier option in the past.

This is a problem with IUP and getting the phone replaced under AppleCare. I don’t think it has to do with the trade in cancelled email.

I had my 13p replaced under AppleCare and when I attempted to do the iUP for the 14p, it said my phone was not enrolled. It was a pain, I had to email Tim Cook to get the executive team involved for a resolution.

Had to email Tim Cook. Over an hour on the phone and no one could help. Placed a new preorder but I did it wrong as I used this phone as a trade. Problem is I don’t own this phone so the trade in value needs to go to Citizens not Apple.

Did you speak to someone on the executive team? It took about 2 days once they realized the issue. I had to explain it to them in detail. I think I had a post on it here if you go through my post history. It may help you!

Yes you are right, you can’t use that phone as a regular trade. It’s all very frustrating

I just emailed. No response yet. What I may end up doing is if no one can help I won’t trade it in and either get Apple to give me money for Citizens or sell it outright.
 
Ordering 16 pro black - airpods 4 ANC and watch series 10. Already ordered the jet black watch as needed to get it in before end of q3 for work. Free watch time of year is always great. Getting off IUP as well as dropping off t-mobile after so many years ...
 
Got a question for you guys. Is preordering on the computer website on Friday morning going to be pretty smooth? Long story short my main Apple ID isn’t going to be the one I am going to use to order my phone because another Apple ID has gift cards
