Joking aside, they actually hit my Equifax for a hard pull this year, first time in the history of the upgrade program (I've been on it continually since the very first year).
I only got two approval emails though, so you're one email ahead.
Interesting!
Mine outside of the first time enrolling in iUP back when it started have always been soft pulls.
This time included or I would have been yelled at since I keep my files on perpetual lock until needed.
Launch day 17 PM cosmic orange just moved preparing to ship! YES!!!!! 🙌
I live 1.5 miles away from my Apple. No sense in waiting all day for UPS
👋 would you be mad if I didn't even intend on preordering and completed the order at like 11:30am EST?
They have the process super organized. Don't show up too early, they don't like that. There will be one line for pickup appointments and another for general public. They'll get you all sorted in line, and into the store when it's your time. It's usually pretty quick.
Yup, two so far, but the loan number on both is the same, so it's only the emails that are duplicates, and not the actual loan. Whew!
Don’t have to take the day off or pay to
Get it held. Just pick up when you want
Same! Hard pull the first year and then never again...until this year. I was a whole mess this year though. My credit was compromised as a result of the AT&T breach last year, so I had all three bureaus frozen, plus a fraud alert on all of them. At first, I removed the freeze but forgot about the fraud alert, which really goofed things up. Finally got that sorted, and got the final approval this morning 2 hours after I made my order. They hit my credit for a hard pull on Wednesday when I did the pre-pre-order.
Good, thorough explanation. For those who want to track as early as possible, I was able to see mine in UPS last year on Sunday. Use track by reference on UPS and use your order number minus the last 2 numbers. I'm not saying it will work again this year, but worked last year.
Please let me know if this works. I got nervous and purchased the unlocked version to use with mint mobile. I would like to use Apple Card financing with the T-Mobile version but don’t know if I would have issues with activation on prepaid/MINT.
For those with a 9/19 delivery date, what’s the shipping method listed? I noticed that my 9/25 order says “Sep 25 by Express Shipping”, but every iPhone pre-order I’ve ever done has said “by Standard Shipping”. Wonder if this part of the issue
Waiting to see if MR will post up on the main page regarding the 9/25 deliveries.
Ordered my phone this morning, within 5 minutes past the hour, and received 25th as the estimated delivery date. I hesitated for a store pickup as I didn't want to deal with the crowds. I just tried to place another order, and the ETA for delivery is 9/19. Based on that, I am willing to bet that the 25th will be updated to the 19th or soon thereafter.
here what i found
Yes, if you purchase an iPhone through Apple's Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) program and select T-Mobile (or Verizon) at checkout, the phone will generally arrive unlocked, allowing you to switch to any carrier that supports eSIM later. You need an active T-Mobile number to complete the initial purchase and setup, but you can bypass the carrier activation process by selecting the "Continue" or "Set up later" option multiple times
Didn’t get the store up until 8:05 on my iPhone. Tried my iPad as well. Got in a checked out quickly. Launch day delivery. Yay!
We were literally 1st in line for the 15 and got the first 815am slot today again
It's fun walking over (like a 3 minute walk to our store!) with coffee early, jumping in front of everything, and getting out before the madness of the day.
3 hours each way??? Dedication!
We did the base too last minute. 1 white, 1 black, but that Sage is beautiful! Never thought I would be looking forward to a base this much
Still puzzled at the odd low price (a little over $700 with military) - just wasn't worth the "downgrade" and $300 more for the air per phone for us.
If my date doesn’t update from 9/25 to 9/19, this will be the first year I don’t receive mine on launch day. No biggie but kind of a bummer.
I’m still debating cancelling and reordering since I show 9/19 for the two models I bought but it’s on iUP and I’m afraid I won’t be able to reorder them
Until Monday if the upgrade doesnt go right back on.
