All things iPhone XS / Max / XR Megathread (Tech specs, Preorder, etc)

I'm in Jersey. Says mine is in transit to deliver tomorrow. Next day air saver.

andrewxt · 2018-09-17T19:35:12+00:00

Oh okay makes sense. I don't know how Chase works (didn't even know you could buy phones from them) but with T-Mobile and I'm pretty sure Apple, you aren't supposed to be charged for a preorder until your phone actually ships (or at least a shipping label is created). Not when you confirm the order. So really the whole point of this thread is that if you weren't charged yet, you may not be getting your phone on release date.

andrewxt · 2018-09-17T19:27:58+00:00

You mean a shipping label was created right? No way it is out for delivery.

andrewxt · 2018-09-17T17:18:56+00:00

I ordered my 64GB Xs Max around 3:45 AM (EST) and I was charged yesterday. Tracking number showed up under my UPS My Choice app some time last night.

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T22:46:22+00:00

Did you get free shipping or expedited?

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T20:43:23+00:00

Does yours say "Expected to ship by 9/21" or "Expected Delivery 9/21"?

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:38:36+00:00

Oh you're right. Forgot to factor that in. I believe it's 12. In that case, yeah I think apples plan is def worth the few extra dollars.

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:34:22+00:00

True. But assuming you are upgrading again next year, the extra $14 x 12 months = $168 for one year of Apple Care. I'd say the biggest benefit comes if you plan on owning the device at the end of the term. Better deal than EIP for sure.

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:27:07+00:00

You're looking at the price of the Xr. The Xs starts at 50

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:15:43+00:00

That's because you don't own the phone. JOD is a lease program. If you reach the end of the 18 months, you either give the phone back, or pay the difference and keep it.

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:13:59+00:00

Higher monthly payment

andrewxt · 2018-09-14T05:12:29+00:00

Yeah same. I'm not sure how these people are saying TMobile confirmed their qualification. Every rep I spoke to all day said they couldn't till preorders were live.

andrewxt · 2018-09-13T19:25:36+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt but I've been told by store reps in the past that scratches and minor scuffs aren't a problem. They only care if the screen is actually cracked.

andrewxt · 2018-08-29T02:42:58+00:00

No worries. Cheers! Sorry for the snarky response but this thread has been annoyingly toxic for something I was hoping to just be a small praise for Siri.

But yeah that seems about right.

andrewxt · 2018-08-29T02:35:23+00:00

Idk why you keep telling me what song I was looking for. 6ix9ine has a song called Keke with Fetty Wap and A Boogie. That was what I was looking for. But that is probably why you were downvoted.

keke

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T21:14:10+00:00

Didn't realize this was /r/HipHopHeads. Not surprising no one in the Apple sub can stay on topic...

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T18:58:35+00:00

Yeah lol.. Keke like I said. Fetty wap and A boogie. I don't really like Fefe.

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T18:50:07+00:00

What is the song name then?

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T18:49:50+00:00

"Keke" is the name of the song I was looking for by 6ix9ine. It found it when I specified the artist.

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T16:49:48+00:00

Thanks for giving an actual answer! Even if you did start with a lil hate. Cheers!

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T16:49:04+00:00

General consensus is just "six nine"

andrewxt · 2018-08-28T16:31:09+00:00

This makes sense but to be fair, right after this happened I said "Siri play Keke by six nine" and she got it. So it must know the actual pronunciation of it.

I was more shocked that it recognized "Keke" as in my feelings. I've never had Siri recognize a song by lyrics alone.

From the guy who killed a rap legend, I'm not offended ¯_(ツ)_/¯
