I got my shipping email as well. It says expected delivery by 9/24/24….

It surely won’t arrive a week later right?

I just got notice from Verizon for a Fedex shipping label! Man that was fast! I wonder if this mean they will ship early? Or they will actually get the phone from Apple to be delivered on the 20th.

Chatted with the Verizon rep yesterday. Ordered a black 16 PM 256gb. Had $314 left on my iPhone 14 but they said I didn't have to pay it off and I was eligible for the upgrade option. Bill goes up $16.66 a month. Had to pay $58.57 for sales tax, upgrade fee and I needed a charger. First time pre-ordering a new release.

I ordered at 9am est yesterday. It has shipped and my delivery says 9/26. Honestly that would work better for me but when I ordered it said 9/20. Never had it say any other date after shipping before.

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?
Yes you need to upgrade the plan first. I had the 5G Do More and needed to upgrade to the Unlimited Ultimate to trade-in/upgrade my phone. Verizon rep confirmed it.

when I did my upgrade, it made me choose a new plan, but on the next screen, there was a link that said keep my current plan and I clicked that and I didn’t have to upgrade. My plan included Disney+ bundle, and Apple Music and if I would’ve upgraded to the new plan, it would’ve been way more expensive.
 
man you guys making me check me email nonstop lol.. I know it's got till end of the week to ship out. back to having a beer lol
 
Didn't get tracking yet, ordered 9 am et on preorder day delivery sept 20, yeah its got till next week but man is it nerve racking.

ordered around 1pm yesterday, no confirmation or shipping emails. Added a new line and putting my Google voice number, which I've read can be complicated. Hopefully not going to delay things. Website shows ordered, and estimates 9/20 delivery

You don’t have to change your plan just to get a new phone. You only need the new plans if you’re planning on doing the trade-in deal.

I traded in, no new plan. I did the trade in at 50% paid. Chose a new plan then at the next screen clicked keep my existing plan. Still on the 5G get more plan.

What was your trade-in value though? I specifically meant the trade-in deals. It says to get the full $1,000 you need to be on the new Unlimited Ultimate plan.
 
I’ve noticed in the past I always get my Verizon order before the estimated date. I pre-ordered on the Verizon app later in the day after pre-orders started and am due to get the Max Pro Natural Titanium 1TB on release day. The demand for this one may be dampened too, iPhones are generally better at retaining their value for a year or two longer than they used to be.
