You’ll still have to wake at 2am, but it’ll be one click and back to bed. The pre approval is for people who are already enrolled in iUP.

How do you get “pre-approved”

I don’t want to wake up at 2am to order a fricking phone. What’s the easiest way to do it? If I wait til Friday morning will there be a backlog of orders?


Wanting to know as well.

do you know ANYONE who doesn't have some type of case on their phone? i don't even want to take my phone out of the box it came in until i have a case nearby.

i bet on average i drop my phone 2x a day. there is a definite correlation of small kids : phone drops per day.


fwiw I'm caseless. I've gone back and forth between having one and not. I haven't used one for the past 6 months, apart from when I went overseas. I have 2 kids.

Anyone in the iPhone upgrade program and upgrade to the X last year?

Remember how the release wasn’t for another month or so after it typically is? I’m assuming that means we will have to wait longer again since we haven’t made the 12 payments on the X yet?

you get the apple store app on your phone, select phone you want, enter carrier details, get preapproved for new Citizens One loan via soft credit check, then it saves all that info. set alarm for 2am tonight, wake up, 1 click, you're done

AirPods and the Watch



Wireless headphones and a watch that tracks your heartrate.

Much innovation

So technology

You can make extra payments and get it at launch I think (not that I'd do that)

I mean, the apple watch is the first smart watch to really make a dent in the market and AirPods have everyone playing catch up on truly wireless buds, so...

Kinda shitty of them to do tbh. Oh well.

Yea looks like they want another month fee. I’ll just wait.

ETA: had to pay extra month on previous phone due to their delayed release date then have to wait an extra month the following year. When the whole premise of the program is to be able to get the newest phone as soon as it’s available. First world problems I know, but just interesting.

I don't doubt it. I don't think there's a middle age Mom on the planet who doesn't rock a pink Apple watch

This cracks me up. I like electronics and technology, but still haven't come up with a reason why I would buy a smartwatch. Then I see all these middle aged ladies in the office with this hardware even though they're so inept with technology.

While the apple watch is routinely at the top of the reviews, it does nothing special. And google, samsung and others are shitting the bed with their watches. To many chiefs and not enough Indians in the fight to get to the top. If samsung and google got together and mixed the GearS3 and and the best parts of Tizen and Android wear we would finally have great wearable tech.

But no Samsung tries to push that shitty Tizen and Google seems so half witted that they cant read reviews of other watches and take the pros and fix the cons.

I mean, AirPods are the same.

They're not particularly great, but they work without frustration in a way most competitors don't.

I’m not in the early upgrade program. I’m just going to order it through Apple or att on the next plan. If I pre-order at 6am tomorrow instead of 2am, am I likely to have a later ship date?

What date will they start selling them in stores like Sams club?

No issue last year with AT&T and an X on 7am order. Got the phone on release day.

I love tech but never considered a smart watch.

If I was really into running or had some medical need(that the watch could assist with) I’d probably consider it.
