I am on yearly upgrade (not iUP, T-Mobiles equivalent) and according to them I have to order through them directly to get the benefit, but when carrier financing opens on Apple I'll see what pops up (or i'll talk to a rep or something so I can avoid going direct through tmob, or just add the 17 as a second EIP)
That’s strange, I have all of mine frozen as well and did not have an issue. I think frozen reports allow soft pulls, unless I’m mistaken? Either way, hope it gets situated for you!
went back and forth on silver vs orange and decided on silver, because orange looks too halloween on a black silicone case.
I actually got a message from Citizens saying that they detected my fraud alert. Maybe it was because I have that set up, and not because they were frozen, hmmm. I don't even remember everything I did, but right after that AT&T breach I had about 20 hits on my credit trying to take out loans in my name, so I froze everything I could and set every alert I could.
On preorder morning, you will have to select a store and a time slot you want as you check out. You won’t have the joy of / anxiety of tracking UPS planes from 🇨🇳 or 🇮🇳, but you will have the added security of a store pickup at a set time instead of waiting for a driver.
I switched to ISPU after they stopped allowing CC holds at UPS.
Well, after trying to decide what to order this year, I'm going with the dark blue 17 PM 512GB. I kinda dig the orange, but the blue is just more my jam. Friday needs to hurry up! Then the waiting for tracking # to show up. Then the fun begins to see what flights we are all on. Let's go!!
I’m in the same boat. I got a text asking to confirm I was the one who applied, answered yes, but still in pending status. How did you get it sorted out?
17PM - Cosmic Orange - 256gb
The only question is....Is this the year I finally go without a screen protector? Getting a black case so I can tone down the orange sometimes, but I am even thinking about not using a case now. I've got AppleCare One but I'm not intending to take advantage of it or waste my time getting replacement, so this is going to take some careful consideration.

Plan is to get two 17 Pro’s this year. For sure a Blue for personal and if carrier promos are good enough an Orange for my side hustle phone line
I got that exact same text and also answered yes. Where are you seeing you're still in pending?
The only reason I think I'm ok is that my pre-order phone choice is showing in the app saying "Come back on 9.12 to pre-order your iPhone" as it always does every year. The link below that invites me to "get another phone ready for preorder" (which I read as this phone is ready), and under "Upgrading to:" it says Apple iPhone Upgrade Program.
I got an email with my "decision document" but I've been trying all night to open the PDF it sends me to, but it times out. I'm sure they're slammed. I also sat on hold with them for 20 minutes and gave up before anyone ever answered.
2AM for me in Hawaii.
I see that same pre-order status but got an email from Apple saying my pre-approval is pending. I did speak with someone from Citizens who kept telling me I’d get a text I had to approve. I told her several times that I already got the text and answered Yes. She said I’d also get a phone call or email. Hopefully we’ll get an approval email from Citizens tomorrow (Wednesday).
Ah, gotta love the one time of the year where I visit this forum and specifically these preorder threads LOL
Going for the 17PM in Orange
upgrading from my 16PM Desert titanium. I told myself I wouldn't upgrade this year since I recently just bought a camera (Fuji X100VI) so I don't really have an excuse to get a better 'camera phone' but I couldn't resist - but honestly, it's a great companion to the Fuji as it's a fixed lens.
