Official: iPhone 8 Plus Pre-Order / Waiting Room
- Preordered a space gray 8+ 64 gig. I only upgraded for the storage and wireless charging it’s almost the same price monthly on my bill as the 7 + so why not? Lol09-18-2017 06:39 PMLike 0
- Get what you want, I did.. but mostly the answer to your "why not" is that you may have had your 7+ paid off in 12 months, and now you will be paying the same for about 30-months. That's usually why.. just saying.Avera6 and scorpiodsu like this.09-18-2017 06:42 PMLike 2

Apple has assured me I will receive it by the scheduled delivery date of 9/22/17. But the fact that the track by reference is not working for me is concerning considering the past two pre orders for the 6s and the 7 Plus I was able to track early with the track by reference option.
I know it’s my OCD kicking in but damnit I want to be able to see it moving along like I have previously lol.09-18-2017 10:14 PMLike 0 - This is driving me crazy. I got my preorder in on the Apple app for a sim free iPhone 8 Plus within 5 min of the preorder going live. Got a delivery confirmation date of 9/22/17. Order is currently in the Preparing for Shipment status since Saturday but for some reason no matter what I try with the UPS or FedEx Track by Reference option , it cannot find anything. I have tried both my numbers associated with my Apple account as wells as different combos of my Apple order number.

- I was planning to wait for the X to come out and then decided Sunday morning to get the 8 plus, which meant I was late on pre-ordering through T-Mobile. I ordered a space gray 64gb for myself and my husband and a gold 64gb for my daughter. Both space gray iPhone 8 plus said they will ship on the 21st or 22nd and the gold iPhone 8 plus won’t ship till the 27th. Unfortunately you never know with T-Mobile until the actual release date whether or not you will get the phones on the actual date that given when ordered.RECON1 likes this.09-19-2017 11:20 AMLike 1
- Depends on the carrier, as AT&T has dropped the 50% pay off, it's 80% now on 30-Months. I can't say about Verizon or Sprint or T-Mobile. But on AT&T you have to pay off $759.99 of the $949.99 before you can upgrade = 2 years.09-19-2017 01:03 PMLike 0

I always enroll in next every year because I can't keep the same device longer than a year lol. Yes, I have a problem. I've learned to live with itLast edited by scorpiodsu; 09-19-2017 at 02:05 PM.

- No. The 50% payoff is available on next every year (24 payments) The 80% is on next (30 payments). So anyone that wants to upgrade every year should get their device on next every year and after 12 payments or 50% payoff, turn in the device and get the new one. See the screenshots. Anyhow, both of these are still available when purchasing any new phone.

I have always been on the 24-month plan too, iPhone 6 iPhone 7, etc.. but there was no actual way of doing it with the iPhone 8+. Believe me I tried and I called and I chatted.scorpiodsu likes this.09-19-2017 02:43 PMLike 1
- Don't know why I could not get it.. I always have in the past. I have a sterling record with AT&T with never a late payment and have been with them close to 15 years. I have a few iPhones and iPads and all paid off on time w/o issue. But they insisted there is no way of getting a 24-month this time. Lucky you!09-19-2017 03:02 PMLike 0

- They lied to you man lol. I signed up easily for Next every year on preorder night. Even on Apple's website I actually think you could only sign up for next every year lol. I just wanted to make sure every knows that it's still available from your previous comment because it's not gone.scorpiodsu and qbnkelt like this.09-19-2017 06:06 PMLike 2
- I contacted AT&T again, online chat and I copied/pasted the info from the chat the day before. They apologized, as I am not the only one this happened to on launch night. Some did not have a choice at checkout, there was only one (1) NEXT plan and it defaulted to the 30-month. They could not do anything today, but they noted my account and said when I get my phone on Friday, call on Saturday and I have 14 days from the time the phone arrives to make any changes to my account or return the phone. They said they can then put me on the 24-Month Next plan.09-19-2017 07:57 PMLike 0
- Me! Every year (or at least, this the 3rd year of me upgrading every year). Like you, I want to experience the new OS features, regardless of how minor, on my new phone.
Edited - I suck at forums, forgot to quote the person I was replying to. Lol. This was in reply to the question asking about those waiting to use their new device with OS 11.scorpiodsu and firstborn80 like this.09-19-2017 08:21 PMLike 2 - The morning I ordered, I almost by mistake clicked on 30 months, and then figured out how to change it to 24. Yea, I have a short attention span when it comes to phones. Plus, i’m More willing to take chances on phones that I will only have for a yearscorpiodsu likes this.09-19-2017 09:31 PMLike 1
- Worse case as mentioned above, I can just return the phone and then reorder later. I did not "need" the iPhone 8+, as my 7 is perfectly fine. However i did order a couple cases and chargers from Amazon, so I guess I will need an 8+ sometime.09-19-2017 09:45 PMLike 0

My theory is that to avoid a bazillion calls to customer service, they are just going to give info from there to your place.
I’m consoling myself with that theory.09-20-2017 03:11 AMLike 0 - They're all there having a Cheese Steak eating contest in Philly!alexrat1996 and qbnkelt like this.09-20-2017 12:00 PMLike 2
