What is the benefit of doing the apple upgrade program instead of Verizon’s? Are there less up front costs?

I ordered thru a Verizon authorized retailer at 10 am est. It's shipping to their store for a in store pickup, but for a date of 10/4. I was freaking out until I realized it was because I got the series 5 Nike watch as well. Do you think they will ship the phone and watch together or separately? Also if they ship the phone to the store on 9/20, do you think I can cancel the watch? I might end up getting one at Best Buy if they have stainless steel available on 9/20.
We are the same boat bro!! Mine and wife are both on the payment plan. I had the XS Max while my wife has the X. Upgrading hers to Max Pro 512GB and swap it so I get the Max Pro, and she’ll get my XS Max. will do again next year. Lol
Mine says that too, but I have a feeling come Monday it will change to delivered by 09/20.
Don’t worry Verizon’s estimate shipped and delivery date are confusing but you will have it on 9/20
You might have a problem. A lot of times these things get delayed for weeks due to some processing or shipping error.
Don’t worry - I do this every year
I also follow the Verizon threads every year - I’ve seen phones ship the day before the estimate date and get to their new owners on time. I’ve seen some delays - about 5% but they are truly rare.
Hard Rule I follow— is don’t call Verizon for status or updates. Reps are already being bugged and when they start digging in orders they can accidentally cancel them. Again rare but it has happened. If your Vz bill is due before your order has shipped pay it on time - that CAN delay orders.
You are waiting for the next step - your delivery date will disappear from your order details and then your payment will be authorized. They normally start moving orders on Sunday afternoon/evening as they work thru the pallets. Colors/ like configurations go in waves.
Relax you will have your phone before you leave.

[doublepost=1568471542][/doublepost]I bought it through Verizon can I add apple care separately on it and how long do I have?
They usually give you 30 days to add the Apple Care on, you can always contact Apple and they will tell you.
Mine says shipping on 9/20 - which is odd given I ordered at 5:01 am PST....and it says "in processing" is this normal?

yeah that happened to me last year, you will have to have Fedex fix it, worse case they will hold for u at the local Fedex station
two years ago when I got the X mine said the ship date was actually the launch date, and I got mine on launch day. So maybe you’ll be in the same boat.
This post needs to be pinned at the top for all to see!
yes! my says the exact same thing! worst part is I will be out of town for three days so won't get to enjoy it! (mom is house sitting...)You'll get it 9/20.
Update: I woke up this morning and cancelled my order.
I started a new order with a down payment so I would 1) have a lower monthly payment and 2) have the iPhone paid off before next year’s release. This way, I can move into Apple’s IUP if I choose at that time with little hassle.
My 11 Pro Max will now come a week later, 9/27, but this time around I was able to get the Device Dollars spread into my payments for the first 12 months (chose this over 24 since I’m going to pay it off sooner). Making the monthly payment even lower. The previous credit on the bill remains. Activation fee still waived.
I’ll enjoy reading and watching a week of first impressions and commentary, then join in on the fun!

30 days to add Apple Care. I always add the day I get the phone. I take it into the store that’s 10 minutes from me, but you can call in to have it done as well.
You called FedEx customer service and they added apartment number? If so I guess I'll need to wait to get a tracking number.Mine says shipping on 9/20 - which is odd given I ordered at 5:01 am PST....and it says "in processing" is this normal?
