    Pre-Order & Shipping Megathread | iPhone XR

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 06:31 PM PDT

    Hey /r/Apple!

    In an attempt to curb the number of threads about pre-order choices/configurations, shipping statuses, etc, we are asking that all discussion about it remain in here. We are setting the sort of this thread to new so that users receive the latest updates at the top of the thread when they open the comments.

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The daily support thread won't be stickied for the next few days. I need this sticky spot for the pre-order megathreads and the OS updates on Monday. I urge you to use Discord for help (you don't need to make an account to chat on a desktop browser) and/or IRC. If you issue is really simple, iMessage Apple. How? On Apple Maps, search Apple Store. Tap any store and scroll down and tap the Messages icon. Sorry about the inconvenience.

    Also note, pre-orders for the iPhone XR will start on October 19th. There will be a megathread for the XR next month.


    Now to the good stuff:

    Here is some quick information about the iPhone XR

    Pre-orders open at 12:01 PDT (Cupertino Time, in other words), on October 19th, 2018. Here are the times in different time zones, courtesy of MacRumors.

    You can pre-order the new iPhones via the Apple Store app on iOS devices, on Apple's website, or on via your carrier (either by going to their online store, or calling).

    The AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss add-on is also available for USD$4.16 extra a month on top of your monthly payment. Under both AppleCare+ plans, each accidental damage incident is subject to a service fee or deductible of $29 for screen damage or $99 for any other accidental damage. Theft or loss deductibles vary: $199 for iPhone 7 and iPhone 8, $229 for iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, $229 for iPhone XR, $269 for iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max. Taxes may apply. AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss requires you to have Find My iPhone enabled on your device at the time it is lost or stolen.

    New users: You can get pre-approved for the Upgrade Program using the Apple Store iOS app. This feature is only available on the iPhone.

    Existing users: Log-in here to verify your identity.


    TIPS:

    1. Favorite your phone right now on the Apple Store app for iOS. Specially if you are joining the iPhone Upgrade Program for the first time. Seriously. Here is how you can favorite an iPhone. When you favorite an item, the configuration you want will be available to add to the bag and purchase. Stop reading this post to the end and go do that now.

    2. Force close the website/app a few minutes before the store opens to avoid any potential issues.

    3. Tell your bank that you are making a big purchase tonight. You don't want to be one of the first people to pre-order and then have your bank declined the transaction, and then receive your phone on 2019.


    Surveys:

    Apple using US Customs to Stop 3rd party repairs

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 04:07 PM PDT

    Youtuber Louis Rossmann, a computer repair technician who just participated in CBC News investigation into Apple repair practices, shares how a recent battery order he placed was seized by U.S. Customs and Apple.

    In a video posted to YouTube, Rossmann claims just a "few days" after The National segment aired, a shipment of 20 MacBook batteries was seized (or "stolen from me" as he says) by U.S. Customs, apparently working with Apple.

    Siri should respond at the same volume you speak to her.

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 10:17 PM PDT

    If I'm whispering I don't want Siri to respond at full volume. If I'm shouting and there's a lot of background noise, I'll need Siri to be louder in order to hear her (granted she has a written response too)

    Tyler Stalman posted a video at a small Apple event in NY for the iPhone XR. It's looking good in my opinion, the colours and screen look great from the video.

    One or more of the (80+) Apple Logo images used on the most recent invites should/could be used as the logo in the theme of this subreddit. Thoughts?

    Went to check out some Apple watch bands and noticed the store was down. What's cool is the apple is actively lit up. Kind of mesmerizing.
