Carrier Verizon iPhone 16/Plus/Pro/Pro Max US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread (2024)

Going back to 2 phones, my work phone and now a separate personal phone. Added a line to girlfriends Verizon family plan for a 256GB White Pro. I traded in an old 5S I had lying around and picked their middle unlimited plan, so $830 in credits over 3 years on the 1099 phone. Probably will get the itch to upgrade sooner than 3 years, probably switch to Apple Upgrade program at that time since I'll have a phone and service.


I elected to try and port my google voice number,. hopefully that doesn't complicate the order. Wanted to do AT&T, but that would have run me like $65+/month for 1 line of service, and no good phone credit options. This family plan extra line is like $42/month.
 
Updated 4 of my lines, with 3 of them I got an email for the order, trade confirmation and then a final confirmation. Last one all I got was the first email and no trade or order confirmation.

We're processing your order right now. We'll send you an order confirmation email as soon as we can.

Called Verizon they said something went wrong, cancel and try again. So I did that and the same thing now lol. Oh well, hopefully the trade and order confirmation emails show up sometime today.

I got an order conf email but never got a trade in email... I am doing the 50% verizon upgrade program not trading it in for a promo credit

So strange they said something went wrong
 
Apologies as I know this is frequently asked-

16 pro max 512. Delivery date 9/30. Historically has anyone had theirs bumped to launch day (20th) delivery?
 
I saw in a couple of posts that Verizon uses UPS for deliveries....does anyone know if a signature is required for the delivery to be made?

yes. can't remember if you can digital sign in the app for apple deliveries or not.

Perfect. Thats good news for me. I live in an apartment and for some reason Amazon especially never uses our parcel delivery boxes that are secured in the mail room and will literally leave a package at the leasing office door after hours meaning your package is just sitting there in the open. I know we are talking about UPS here but I haven't really had any deliveries with them so I was hoping they would have to come to my door and get a signature. Thanks for the quick confirmation!

Yeah this is dumb. Trade-in prices should not be dependent upon having their newest versions of the unlimited plans they keep changing (and making more expensive).

I am paying $44/month and would have to increase that to $52/month, plus I’d lose free Apple Music which is another $10/month (same for all 4 lines) just to get the trade-in promo… which is then spread out over 3 whole years.

Yeah… hard pass.

Since no more Costco VZW iPhone deals, I decided to sell my 13 Pro to itsworthmore for $410 and buy unlocked iPhone from Apple with my Apple Card 3% back. I also don’t want to be tied to 36 months, and have to upgrade to Unlimited Ultimate plan.

I’ve never heard of that site. How fast do they pay out?

I usually use that site for Macbook Pros, but they had the highest payout. As soon as you provide confirmation of trackable shipment and receipt of delivery, they send you electronic payment. This will be my first time using it for iPhone. But it’s always been a good site for me in the past.

Do you have to pay for your own shipping, or do they send you a prepaid box?

There are different options- it will affect your pricing (original box, charger, cable, etc). But the UPS or Fed Ex label is included. (I chosee to reduce my selling price by $5 for insurance). You supply your own shipping box though. (easy enough with all the Amazon boxes at home).

Y'all might not know the answer, but I have the old go more plan on verizon. Now to get the new 16PM I'd need to obviously upgrade the plan. Do you need to upgrade the plan through verizon first before you order the phone or can you order the phone first and then on pickup upgrade and do all of that then?

I had to do this and it let me change when preordering.

So my kid decided to trade in and upgrade to the 16 prob. He ordered it around 3:00 and will still get it on the 20th

Will he be able to hold it at UPS?

Verizon told me they use both FedEx and UPS today. They also said they will not allow hold a hold of UPS customer center due to the fact that it needs a signature which I think is hog wash as long as I sign for it it shouldn’t matter where I pick the phone up
