Does anyone know if an online Apple Upgrade program pre-order from 10/27 can be filled in the store? Can’t I just take my order confirmation to the store with stock and pickup immediately? I don’t see the reason to wait til 11/17- Can’t get Apple on the phone to ask this question. Nearest in stock store is 50miles away. Thx
You’ll have to cancel your pre-order before you can be eligible to get another phone under the same phone number. That is if your doing the financing through your carrier like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint. When you reserve, it checks your carrier again then it will tell you if you’re eligible for an upgrade. Word of caution though, some carrier takes about 24-48 before your contract is reset according to Apple guy in the store. If that is the case, they will only hold your phone until 9PM and you’re going to try to reserve again the next day if your contract has not been reset. On AT&T, based on my experience yesterday, I was able to reset my contract in 30 mins. I canceled my pre-order when I’m at the store and made sure that I have the phone then waited for 30 mins at the store. I just kept on checking my AT&T app on my phone to see if my contract has been reset. I can only speak for AT&T. I’m not sure how the other carriers are handling this.
Update... I just saw you’re on Apple program so canceling makes it easier. What I said above is only for people who are in Carrier’s program.
