Wow, mine shipped early and will beat the original shipping date.

But of course now it will arrive while I'm out of town. :smith:

At least they shipped it UPS. They're going to hold it at the local UPS store instead of on my porch. :gunsmith:

But the UPS store is closed Sunday. So I won't get it until Monday, which is the original ship date. Dang it.

edit: Are you serious, page snipe? Dang it.

Upgrade for the resale value, not the phone.

I've been upgrading every 2 years since the iPhone 4. I always just felt that was the sweet spot as far as resale value and early upgrade fees goes. Perhaps I'll weigh some numbers and compare reselling vs. switching to a BYOD plan. But nothing is going to happen before my contract ends in November.

OTOH, I've heard 3D Touch is more usefull in iOS 10. And hopefully more RAM means background apps not being killed as often.

If it makes you feel any better mine is going to my moms house 230 miles away. I'm having it held at the depot by her house though so she can just hand it back and give them 20 bucks to ship it to me. So I won't get it until Thursday :smith:

That's funny. When I called Apple to try to change my address (AT&T didn't have my apartment number for some reason, which I have since changed), the rep said it was the earliest she had seen.

Same but ~300 miles and it happened last week. It's mega convenient to be on my mom's family plan, except for this very occasion. I wonder what the reasoning is, since apparently AT&T does it in addition to Verizon. It seems inefficient and wasteful for everyone involved.

Still, somehow, some way, Tim's divine graces blessed me by managing to send the phone six days earlier than Verizon estimated. So even with the phone leapfrogging across California, I'm still getting it early. :unsmith: Its out for delivery today and the mailman cannot be here soon enough.

I had the impression that you couldn't do that as well. Oh well, thats a problem for 2018. :getin:

Speakers on the 7 are definitely nice. Not comparable to a proper speaker when it comes to actual quality, but it can get much louder and still sound reasonably well. Good shizz.

I thought you had to do it in store to trade the phone in.

Will some one who did the upgrade program tell us exactly how it works?

I set up a reservation online to upgrade my 6S (that was on the Apple Upgrade Program) to a 7. Came to the store, they confirmed my eligibility (via serial / IMEI), wiped my old device, had me sign a bunch of paperwork, and gave me my new phone.
