I'm with you on this. I'd be 100% annoyed enough to not upgrade.

iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max announced (starting $699, $999, $1099 - Preorder Friday, ships Sept. 20th)
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
I never changed it, but it just pulled the suggested monthly payment over 2 years from my account. I think this is the default for it.
According to Apple's comparison chart, it's Pro Max > Pro > 11 in terms of battery life.
this is what I'm wondering? I want to sell my wife's 8 and make the first monthly payment ~$350 (or whatever it sells for), then have ~$15/month payments after that. Not sure if you can do that though.
The Pros win this time around. But regular 11 should have a really good battery as well.
According to the Apple Tech Specs page, the Pro Max is the current battery king. Both Pro phones were upgraded enough to exceed the base 11.
Thanks. I guess I could call Apple's support and see if they can tell me.
Yeah, I have the money to pay it in full, but I'd prefer to spread it out over a few months instead of dropping it all at once.
Exactly this. These other companies are surprisingly now pushing the envelope.
And Apple is of course going to be promoting things like FaceID now, but I guarantee once they figure out how to do In screen TouchID, they will find a way to make it seem like it's something new, even years later.
Anyway, my point is I want Apple to sell me something that's going to be enticing. I love my iPad Pro. It blows away the competition because frankly there isn't any. But when it comes to phones, I just can't settle with an iPhone that's still using a lightning cable or is mostly a 3 year old design.
If you want Applecare (which most people should), the iUP program no question.
If you don't care about Applecare or moving to another carrier, T-Mobile is fine.
Might go without saying, but your first month will have all the taxes rolled in so it'll be closer to $100. The rest will just be paying whatever the phone+AppleCare costs.
Yeah but if you're comparing the best of four companies over five phones it's kind of... ok, sure, give me that phone. But none of them actually are that phone.
Like Apple are rarely first, but they're usually the closest to best thought out. Like Night Sight Mode. It's a thing you turn on with Android. With an iPhone 11 you take a photo in the dark, default settings, no messing around, and it comes out.
Is there any penalty or downside to not using my iUP preapproval? Getting some second thoughts about re-upping for another 2 years, considering how many "leaked" features didnt materialize this cycle, I'm starting to think 2020 isnt going to be the "super upgrade" we're all waiting for...and if that's the case, I'd be fine riding my Xs Max out until we get 5G(and ideally 90/120Hz).
Yes! Mine too. It came today. I got the Pro Max leather case.My case was delivered in less than 24 hrs from the end of the press conference lol. Insane.
You couldn't do this in the UK when I signed up with a 7 Plus (Trading in a 6 Plus). I wanted to put the money I received for my 6 towards the agreement but no dice. Fixed monthly payments with no option to place a larger deposit.
I don't know if its any different in the US, it might be. I think it largely depends on the credit company Apple use for the agreement. Back then for me it was with Hitachi but I see now they are partnered with Barclays. Best thing to do would be to contact Support and ask.
Did you just pull all of this outta your ass ?
1. And it failed horribly
2. No one but nerds care about using a phone as a pc
3. Apples night mode is hardware / software based which is better over just software
4. Huewei , Nokia and than Samsung for patents
5. That's because it's OLED Samsung did nothing
Oh, uh..... I'm still on my parents' phone plan so I only pay for my phone. Not the service 😅
Buying directly from Apple is probably the easiest and they give decent money for the phones. They'll send you the new phone and a box to trade the old phone in with so you don't need to be without a phone during the trade in process. If you want plain cash you can use Gazelle and they'll give pretty good numbers but not as much as Apple seems to be offering this time around.
Log in starting at 5 AM PST. It's insanely fast if you keep the color you have (it only takes two taps). If you change your mind I would message Apple support and cancel that reservation and do a new one for the new color, since doing it at 5 AM is going to slow you down a lot, if you want it as close to launch as possible
No doing it in-store until they actually come out on the 20th. Online orders only until then.
Who is your current program with? Purchased April 2017 but having $200 left on it means you're paying through your carrier, correct?
Technically yes, but ONLY if you do iPhone Payments, NOT the upgrade program. iPhone Payments allows you to put down a down payment and change the monthly price, iUP does not. Both are financed through Apple, both are 24 months, but one doesn't include AppleCare or an early upgrade, but you can shift down the monthly price with either a trade-in or down payment.
That's good to know, iPhone Payments is my plan, not the upgrade program.

The iPad Pro uses an LCD screen, whereas the more expensive iPhones use OLED. We're only just now starting to see high refresh rate OLED screens on phones.
iPhone Upgrade Programme is only available in-store. Pre-orders through it start tomorrow 1pm.

better than apple trade in if you have a 7 or 8
What? No no no. Not in the US. US people please ignore this advice. iUP is available through the Apple Store app from 5AM PST/8AM EST tomorrow. Prequalification has already started so you can get your carrier and loan approved and then at order opening one tap and your order is made.
You also get to see what happening in real time in the viewfinder too, a lot of the photo stuff on Pixel is take a photo and find out how it looks after, there is no real time preview of portrait mode or night sight on the pixels.
Pixels don't as far as I know since it's compute based rather than dual lens, might change this year.
I think if you are planning to pre order the regular 11, I would get your shit sorted like now. Depending on where and how you want to upgrade, i would start searching around for what you need to do. Like if you are going to pre order through your carrier, make sure anything you have to pay off is paid off, make sure you can upgrade and find out what their pre order page is going to be like. If its through Apple I would look at getting pre approved now so in case you run into any issues with your application or credit inquiries. I think the XR was the best selling iphone last year and the 11 looks like a slick deal with the same chip, better camera and bigger display than the 11 pro. It will for sure sell quickly. The 11 pro series will probably go slower depending on storage sizes and colors(I bet the green 11 pro will go fast). So for those 11 buyers get ready today.
did you really just say "no one but nerds" on a gaming forum? Get over yourself.
I'm on the Apple Upgrade program. I actually downloaded the store app and did a little research on this. I'll be turning my 8+ in next week and getting an 11 Pro Max.
Looks better than a lot of the Night Sight pics, least it's still looks like it's night time, some of the Google ones look like it's day time.
No way to determine that from this one random photo on Twitter. Also "Don't ask how I got this phone!" says model with millions of followers. We know you got it from Apple.
T-Mobile looks to have some good trade in deals...
T-Mobile chat told me this morning they are officially announcing stuff tomorrow morning at 8 AM.
I'm assuming if I buy the phone unlocked from Apple, I can just activate it with AT&T myself?
edit: This is annoying. If you're buying unlocked, you can't do the payment plan. And I'm still on my parent's plan. They don't have their physical address on their account, and Apple won't ship to PO boxes. Son of a gun.
