Other USA iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Dispatch Thread

[rui no onna]

For those of you with Verizon and/or have experience with Verizon. I was a long time customer of T-Mo and then switched to Xfinity. Last year I moved and Verizon was my only WiFi option so I switched mobile carriers to bundle with Verizon. I currently have a 16 Pro in perfect condition. The phone is 28% paid off with a remaining balance of $749.30 and the 50% pay off benchmark is $244.30. I am on the Ulimited Ultimate plan. When I go to the Verizon app, under my device if I click on "Ultimate Phone Upgrade" then Shop Phones, for a very brief moment it has the iPhone 17 models listed and in green states "Trade in and save up to $1100.
How does the phone upgrade process work with Verizon? Do I need to pay the 50% amt of $244.30 then am eligible for the 17 Pro with a $1,110.00 credit (which, if I'm not mistaken will leave me with no monthly device payment)? The math seems too good to be true. Thanks in advance for any insight.

The trade-in device has to be fully paid for the $1100 credit (so $749.30 payoff). That really only works out if you plan on keeping the 17 Pro for the full 3 years and with how inflation is right now, you're probably still on the losing end.

Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I'd just pay to 50% and then do the regular monthly payments. Or wait before upgrading. There's always going to be something better.

Bruh this is the first time I am pre-ordering an Iphone in over a decade. I didnt even know they took the damn store down lol, but I think I will be okay. I am going for a 17 pro in silver and will be up bright and early to order right at 5.

I've always pre-ordered my iPhones but for a long while, I just ordered them at a more normal time (like 9am-12nn).

The iPhone 15 series, we actually pre-ordered late in the afternoon (15 Pro) and next day (15 Pro and 15 Pro Max). By then, Apple's estimate had already slipped but they often under-promise and over-deliver. Still got all the iPhones day 1.

Cool thanks, ya I am not too worried. My AI scanned the entire Macrumors forums and reddit and as long as I order within 60 seconds it shouldnt be an issue. Very excite, first new phone for me since the 13

In order to get the $1100 trade in credit you have to trade in your device fully paid off. You would have to pay the $749.30 and then place the order adding your phone as the trade in.

Happy to be here again after a 2 year iPhone break 😈😈

 

[dweb619_2]

only 4 more hours everyone

 

[clunkmess]

Anyone else too excited to sleep?

 

[dweb619_2]

every year. I'm up all for the pre-order and the day before the launch.

 

[cbaca51]

I started the Apple iPhone upgrade program in 2017 with the iPhone X and I've upgraded every year getting the Pro Max version each time. I am going to skip this year at least for now.

The only new features that appeal to me is the 48MP camera on the telephoto lens with the 12MP @ 800mm equivalent. I'm also interested in the new formats offered for video. But, I've been telling myself roughly the same thing for the past three years. I keep thinking I'm going to start using my iPhone more for photography and my cameras less -- especially for video but so far it hasn't happened. One big reason is I'm fighting health issues. If my life style changes for the better than I might could justify it. I keep thinking I am going to get a gimbal and do VR videos for the Apple Vision Pro.

The other thought I have is I would get the new phone if I could use the power of the chip but I just don't. I'm not going to edit videos on an iPhone and I don't play games. I'd kinda like to get into a game at some point but that doesn't seem to be happening either.

nope. After years and years of this it’s just a normal day

 

[Dominican]

I'm happy there isn't a space black it's every year

So this year, not only is an iPhone set to arrive on the 19th, also have two Apple Watches and AirPod Pro 3's arriving on that day, is there any other "filler" type item someone could recommend to order to maybe help speed along the UPS delivery on the 19th lol!

 

[throwthedice]

Apparently ordering a iPhone 17 without any carrier through the Apple website costs $30 more. Not sure why Apple does it. Is there a way to avoid it?

 

[Dominican]

Usually I'll pick it up in the main Apple store with Tim shows up

 

[seezar]

Not too much longer! Hope everyone's order process goes smoothly!

 

[Garethe86]

Good morning, OMG, more like Good middle of the night!

 

[Garethe86]

Please refresh my memory from last year, do we need to close out of the app at 5am or will it refresh by itself when the store opens?

I think it refreshes automatically. I still force close and open like a madman tho. lol

 

[RGC1981]

Haven't been up this early for a release in a while. Upgrading from iPhone 13 pro max.

 

[preciousiphoneaddict]

Good morning, Eastern Time here. I only managed to get 6 hours and 40 minutes of sleep. I wanted to sleep more, but I can't contain my excitement. I can't wait to pre-order!

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

Turn out is way less than last year already in here. It’s not even close!

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO
