Cared so little about the upgrade this year I forgot to set a timer for it. Got an in store pickup on 9/20 for a 256gb Pro Max white phone at like 7:25 no issue. Glad I didn’t want a green one.

Hmm, what have we here?
If I don’t care at all about making appointments to get an upgrade can I just waltz in a store a week later? Surely people don’t still line up like Black Friday for these things and totally clear them out?

Red iPhone 11 128 GB ordered, along with the Apple clear case. Really looking forward to a slightly bigger, slightly faster phone for 3/5 the monthly payment of my 256 GB XS. After a year of use, the OLED and telephoto camera are not worth the price premium to me.

The Verizon system was buckling to its knees just as I was finishing the order and kept having to hit ‘finish order’ and getting an error message. After a minute it finally kicked me back to the main Verizon screen, which made me think the order didn’t finish at all. Then I got the confirmation email just as I was about to submit a second order attempt. :v:

So question about AppleCare. I’m doing a monthly payment now on the XS but once I get the 11 Pro would that plan just transfer over or do I need to speak to someone at Apple to do that?

Pre-ordered the GreenMax at 8:02 and estimated delivery is 9/27 - 10/1. Willing to bet this gets bumped up by a few days. More than happy to wait a few days for the sexy new color.

DERRRRRPPP what are picture threads for????

Went with the black 11, 64gb. Going from my X, the OLED wasn't enough to keep me from going with the killer t mobile trade in deal.

Also ordered a Pro with 256 GB, hoping the Spotify app doesn't gently caress up this time and murder the battery like it did with my XS Max last year.

Last year it seemed like inventory was pretty spotty for the first couple weeks, especially for the XS Max. Even if the Apple store is cleared out you might have luck at big box or carrier stores.

Rumor sites report that the new iPhones have hardware for wireless charging but the feature is disabled in software. Looking forward to see the ifixit teardown. This could explain a bit of the extra weight.

The AUP? The Applecare auto-cancels when you turn the phone in and a new 2-year plan starts.

If you're trading in I think you can get a prorated refund, but I'm not 100% on that.

I think you can trade in on IUP:

Can I trade in my current smartphone with Apple Trade In?

You can trade in your eligible device and join the iPhone Upgrade Program at an Apple Store when the new iPhone models become available beginning September 20.

So I don't know if it doesn't work on preorders or something maybe, like you have to go into a store and do it. But there's always selling your old phone yourself and paying extra down.

I tried ordering a Verizon space black 256gb pro 11 right after my normal alarm at 7am Central went off and the ship date was already in October. For an unlocked phone it was 9/20 so I got that one.

I could have picked up a Verizon phone on release day but I don’t really want to venture into the Apple store that day. I’m sure Verizon will try and change me 30 bucks either way so whatever.

I decided last night I only liked the green cus it’s new.

How annoying is it to activate an unlocked iPhone with Verizon? Is it just a matter of swapping the SIM and that’s all she wrote?

Will an activation fee show up on my bill for my convenience?

For the longest I’ve just gotten the Verizon phone ready to activate so I dunno how it works.

If I buy a 11 Pro and stick my ATT 6S SIM into it will I run into any issues? I’m stuck pre ordering because I don’t know my account holders SSN so I’m thinking just buy it unlocked and pop it in.

I just preordered my wife’s red iPhone 11, but it arrives on the 20th and she’s out of town until the 22nd. It’s set to be activated via the carrier, so it’s not going to impact her current service until she signs into the new iPhone right?

Correct. Her new phone won't swap over until it's physically activated and can sit around for months with no changes to her service if you wanted.

So my order went from "On Hold" when I initially placed it, to "In Process", and now it's back to "On Hold" again. Anyone else get this?

I just hope the delivery doesn't slip past the 9/27 to 10/1 window I had on my confirmation.

Ended up going with 2 iPhone 11's with 128GB of storage. If the we don't like the screen and miss the zoom lens we'll go back to Pro models next year, but wanted more storage and liked the idea of a cheaper bill every month.

Can't decide if the 11 Pro would be too big for me. The X/XS was pushing it and this new one seems a little bigger. Guess I'll have to see in person first.

Yeah and this year isn’t a big year so you’ll probably get it early or on launch day.

I think you'd be fine! But you're right; best to test drive in person. The differences are incredibly slight (0.5mm difference), except for the weight, which is up 11ish grams from the X/XS.

Found another proper looking iPhone 11 non-pro leather case. Buzz words: veg tanned full grain leather, looks close enough to what Apple should've made. Will patina and look sick (gross) as gently caress a la Saddle Brown.Tiny little bonus: the opening for the mute switch is chamfered so it shouldn't be as impossible to use without fingernails. Has "M U J J O" subtly embossed into it, but if it ends up being a quality product, I won't even give a poo poo about the free advertising that possibly no one else will ever notice.

They've been around since at least 2012 and don't seem shady at all so I took the plunge. With 10% discount code "ilovemujjo" and shipping to the US, it came to $42. Will give trip report but it's coming from Europe so I bet it doesn't show up for a few weeks.

They also sell on Amazon for a bit cheaper.

This one is for the XR but some long term reviews say it doesn't age as well as the genuine Apple case, however I haven't found one yet that does.

Given this is the second year of a middling update, I feel like they’re mention the reverse charging. Airpods have wireless charging, and you can always top up your friend’s phone.

If they’re gonna spring it on us later, then it’s because they were having tech issues and wanted to avoid a second airpower debacle.
