Scheduled a reservation for Apple Store pickup on Friday night the 25th. I hope they hold it until I get back in town on Monday. :ohdear:

Anyone else attempting to buy an unsubsidized Verizon phone? For some reason the Apple website is trying to charge me a $40 activation fee, even though I'm not signing a new contract.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

Ordered super easy from Verizon, no problems at all first try and arrives 9-25-2015. I use their trade-in program too, and it worked very easily although I was expecting to have to call in to pre-order because it wasn't a straight purchase.

How do I order it with apple's payment plan instead of AT&T Next? It's either that or pay full amount on the app.

I got stuck here too :(. Anyone know what to do?

scroll down to the very bottom of the page in the app. There's a Learn More link. That'll take you to the Upgrade Program page.

or go here in a browser: http://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program

Got in on my phone (6+) earlier than on my wife's phone (5). Was able to buy mine easily, but on hers it kept having an issue accessing AT&T servers for some reason at the end page. So I just did her line on mine (replace phone on another line option), and it worked perfectly. Getting a silver 128 + for me and a Rose Gold 64 for her, both delivering on 9/25. This is the smoothest I've ever had this go, and I've been one of the stupid people who either lined up at 5 AM, or stayed up all night to get on the store since the 3G.

I shall duck behind that little garbage car.
The Apple Store app was such a smooth experience, I learned my lesson from trying to use the website when pre-ordering the iPhone 5s. I'm glad I tried a 6+ in a store today, otherwise I'd be in a $1600 CAD anxiety moment right now after ordering a 6S+ (I hate you, Canadian Dollar).

For Apple Upgrade Program/In-store reservations, I went through the checkout process and picked "Replace my iPhone" and "Pay Full Price" before the check in-store availability link showed up. Clicking it took me to safari where I could buy 1 or 2 of the iPhones I selected. My store had a ton of reservation windows left, for what it's worth.

So I'm assuming to get the Apple Upgrade Plan you just had to make a store reservation? I didn't see any mention of it in the Apple Store app so I just followed the instructions to make a reservation. v:shobon:v

Using the app this year is proving useless for ya boy.

Clicking "check availability" or whatever links me to Safari, then it asks for my login credentials, but then it spins for awhile then just asks for them again.

Man does the upfront cost of buying an iPhone stings. I know it's cheaper, and I can easily cover the cost, but I'm tempted to do the payment plan just because it doesn't hurt as much.

Same thing here. I also tried the att website and it only gave me an option of paying full price-even though I'm eligible for an upgrade.

Does the carrier even matter now? Shouldn't you be able to select one of the carriers that gives the option of the payment plan (like t-mobile) and then just drop in your cricket sim?

To clarify, I meant too bad they won't let me do the payment plan/upgrade plan w/ circket wireless. I paid full price for an unlocked phone just fine. (I called apple earlier today (yesterday) and they told me I could not get a payment plan/upgrade plan iPhone that was unlocked and use it with Cricket Wireless.)

For the 6 people on Sprint the website is slower than Sprint LTE, but I was able to get in via Telesales and got my order placed.

The store is still showing "we'll be right back" on all browsers I use and even using Safari mobile. But the Apple Store app works and I can't progress through it unless I use Safari mobile — which thinks the store is down.

Yeah, my brother has the 6 and it doesn't feel great, but I also remember a time that I couldn't imagine using anything larger than the 4S, and now that feels cramped as hell whenever I pick up my old phone. My mom has a 6+ which I have to fix for her often, so at least I know it won't be that huge. She has a Mophie case on her 6+ and it is just comically large.
