If you need to get a loan to buy a phone, you probably shouldn’t be spending that money one a phone.
Spoken like a true elitist.
Ever hear of leasing? That's what the Upgrade program is. Technically, you're leasing with the option to buy or trade up in 12 months. I do it because I'm a developer and usually like the new phone to test on each year.
And, when the carriers used to finance the phone purchase, you basically were paying a loan (which had an early termination penalty) in your monthly bill without calling it a loan.
I received the email, was excited to see that Apple was going to take care of this.
Well, it is Wednesday and i checked my order status, still expected date is a month away which is way different the the Nov 3 pickup date at local Apple store. I called Apple this morning, terrible support because no one new what i was talking about. Very unhappy with the outcome of what looked like Apple new was their problem and was going to be take care of their problem. I doubt if my ship date will change seeing how many have already had the order status updated. Perhaps next time i will upgrade my iPhone with my carrier ATT, from posts seems like that worked better.
I received a original shipping estimate of Nov. 10-17, last night I got a shipped notice, now it says I will get it today the third. That was a nice suprise! Cheers to all🥂
I just got word mine shipped so I’ll have it on launch day Instead of nov 17-24 is what originally said , ordered just midnight at 1212 , happy surprise , and the trade in kit shipped as well , I did the preapproval steps as suggested by Apple .
I had 3 upgrade orders to put thru. Painful process by the way. First One failed approval and said I’ve to wait for 8 hours to hear the decision and not to add anymore orders. Didn’t get any confirmation number. I tried the other 2 and errorred out before I gave up. I tried again in the morning and all three went thru with a delivery date of Dec 11-18. Then I got the email as the article says and i sent them the order numbers. The date moved to Dec 1-8. Great!
Then on launch date 11/3, Apple called me and apologized for the Issue and promised that I’ll receive the phone in a week and expect to see the status update by Tue 11/7. Nothing happened and I called on 11/8. They said Dec 1-8 is the best they can do based on the order time. Why did they even call me and get my hopes high? This sucks.
