Don't you need to enroll into AppleCare within 90 days of original purchase?

Hmm still deciding on 256GB Black or JetBlack.
Black looks sexy as fuck issue with JetBlack I see overtime is even with a case is micro scretches even with a case if small dirt gets in.

So when you get on the apple upgrade program, the phone comes with apple care +.
Oh, nevermind, I misunderstood. No clue.

What app, the apple store one? I'm going to reserve mine, is that the fastest way to preorder? Is it really going to be sold out that quickly?
You already pay for AppleCare+ with the iUP, so if it's bad enough they will charge you. They just dropped the price down to $29 or $39 for screen repairs. I wish we didn't have to have AC+ but it is required.

These things go pretty quick. Especially the popular colors.

So if I reserved online and picked a timeslot at the store, do I have to camp out at all? Or do I just show up at my time?
Oh ok I didn't realize you reserve a specific time as well. That's fine, I can do that. I thought I had to wait in a line ahead of time just to secure my phone or something.
2 more questions....
Can I preorder all 4 of my lines at once and pick up at the same time?
And can I trade in my iPhone at a later date and still have it go to the credit card I used to upgrade or am I stuck with store credit?

YMMV but last year I got there an hour ahead of my appointment but the line was long so I went ahead and got in line. They had Apple store employees checking people in while they waited in line. I actually ended up getting in around my appointment time.

So what's the point of having an appointment time?
I've never used the Apple Store app before, is there anything I should know about it before the pre-orders go live? I don't have it on my phone personally, I am using it on someone elses phone, is that going to cause a problem (I am not signed into my Apple ID on their phone)?

Have your credit card info in already.

You should have already favorited the items you are wanting to preorder so you don't have to go into as many screens.
You are already behind the crowd now.
It's down so too late for that.

So is everyone who is paying in full getting the Verizon version? I'm worried I need a Verizon account to order one but having both antenna types will make it easier to sell next year.
Don't you need Verizon account to activate it?

Paying in full, getting Verizon because .. well, I have Verizon. Pretty sure all phones paid in full are unlocked, regardless of carrier, no?
Haloid1177

I don't think so. If you pay in full it should be unlocked and I can just throw my 6S Plus SIM into the phone and be done.
At least that's how I'd expect it to work.

This is similar to my question at the top of the page. Can I just order the phone "naked" and deal with activating the phone number associated with the account once it arrives?

Is $120 extra worth the camera cost?

I paid in full for an AT&T 6S+ last launch. It wasn't unlocked out of the box, but since I bought it outright all I had to do was request an unlock from AT&T and they processed it in like 5 minutes.

Tmo's JoD pricing:
This sucks for those who got the 6S(+) with the monthly credits. There's little reason to jump. It's better to continue the current lease.

Im pretty sure you need an eligible Verizon account.
Apple doesn't typically sell unlocked devices to those without post paid accounts until a few months after release.

Well that's a bummer since I'm pretty sure I took off the AT&T phones from my favorites list in the app. Shit.

*9 years.
sure, though, it was gonna suck when you lose the monthly credit regardless. even if you had used your jump on any phone during the year the credit was gonna be gone.

It isn't that bad.
It was known we were getting the phone way cheaper than we should have.
We got the 6s for cheap and I'm still thankful for that.
Just changed our AT&T plan to their mobile data share plan (was on a 2 year contract that was ending). Gonna get the phone with AT&T Next. Haven't changed plans before like that so a little nervous about the pricing and all that during the transition, but I will be out of town all day tomorrow so it was the only option if I wanted to pre-order at 3 am.
The $15? Yeah no way they were going to bring that back.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I would easily spend that much just to get bigger screen. But yes looks like the camera is killer. Price difference isn't much either.

I meant this sucks for 6S(+) owners that were jumping to 7. Those who prefers to stay on this lease is good.
Also, is it possible to pre-order on T-Mobile website? What if I'm doing to trade in for 7 deal?

I think it's a little ridiculous that you need to keep paying downpayments for JUMP! upgrades, even if you already have upgraded storage.. if I already have the 64GB 6S, which was the same price as the current 7 128GB, I don't think I need to pay 99$ again.
Nope.
In fact this is something that shouldn't be overlooked. This year (unlike the 6S) there are two separate models and if you buy an AT&T or T-Mobile phone it will not have support for CDMA. So if resale value and/or possible use on those networks is something you may need you will have to wait for the SIM-Free version or go into a store and buy the Verizon version (which is possible in-store, but not online without Verizon account info). This information is primarily for people paying in full for their device.
Straight from Apple (the page is down now since the store is down)

Hey everyone. I'm considering going in now on a 6s or 6s+ since they are / will be discounted. A couple of questions:
1. Have the phones already been discounted? I'm seeing $199 w/ 2 yr contract for the 6s base model, and $299 for the 6s+ - that can't be after the discount, right?
2. I heard that the 6+ was a little laggy at times due to the amount of RAM combined with the screen size. Is that also the case for the 6s+?

6+ is laggy. 6s+ is buttery smooth.
Seen some people wondering why someone would need to charge and listen to music. For me it's when I'm in bed playing games/watching videos at night. Battery intensive activities at the end of the day when my battery is low, and I use the headphones to not wake the wife.
Apple pushes games pretty hard, but a lot of games are battery hogs, meaning more charging. I guess it's play them without sound or fork over more cash.
As for the splitter dongle, do we know for sure that the lightning port on the phone can output music while also charging?

The battery is barely better on the Plus. The battery on 7 Regular has been improved up to 2 hours. 2GB RAM is pretty good.
My debate includes the dual camera. I'm wondering if that is worth the $120 extra.
Does anyone know the best way to pre-order on T-mobile tonight? What if I want to do the trade in 6 for 7 deal? Can I do the pre-order on the website?

Not sure about the T-Mo part but both models come in Jet Black only for the 128 and 256gb variants.
7+ all the way. Screen size, resolution, RAM, battery life, and camera are all significantly better. I've had the Plus since 6 and while the 6 was ass because of the memory issues, the screen and battery life were amazing and it's only gotten better.
