    iPhone 15 Pro Max Trying to get the iphone 15 pro max on release day!!

    I'm from Canada and missed the pre-order so I ordered from Best Buy and I still don't have an update. So I'm thinking of trying to go on release day to my local Apple store. Do you think going to line up at 5am is enough time to ensure an Iphone pro max? And has anyone waited outside a mall...

    Thinking of buying a digital camera, prob s/h

    As several here know, I have been posting photographs using iPhone6, iPhone7 & latterly iPhone 12 Pro. Unless the iPhone 15 range something else v.special, it might be only the camera quality which prompts me to upgrade. I am therefore thinking instead of using the money saved to buy a...

    iPhone 14/Plus Best Buy Trade In - Good as previous years? Verizon

    I bought my iPhone 12 Pro from Best Buy when it launched. They price-matched Verizon’s advertised trade in for my XS ($800-1000, don’t remember the actual value), and instead of doing 24 month bill credits, I got the trade in value taken off the price of the phone then and there, and put the...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Best Buy Pre-Order Thread

    Did anyone else order their iPhone through Best Buy? Looks like some crazy deals going on through T-Mobile! I preordered 13PM SIERRA BLUE 128GB and trading in iPhone 12 Pro Max for $875. Mine has no estimate of delivery, does yours?

    iPhone 13 Best Buy/Verizon Trade In promo - not as good as last year's?

    Last year, Best Buy offered the same exact trade-in deal as Verizon towards iPhone 12 models. The best part was, you would get the trade-in credit up front (whereas Verizon wants you to mail them your phone and give you the credit in monthly installments for 2 years), and apply it towards the...

    Best Buy Open Box, concerned it was heavily used and not a simple return open-box?

    Hi, Yesterday I purchased an Open Box MacBook Air M1 8GB/512GB Space Grey for $956. Love it so far, but I'm concerned it may of been heavily used and not a simple return at BestBuy, which as a 15 to 45 day return window depending on Elite status. It might not matter since I bought AppleCare+...

    Loose Airpods Max Earcup

    I already own a pair of the APM but was checking local availability after reading an article of how supply is limited everywhere. I noticed that Best Buy had an Open-Box Excellent pair of APM for only $460! So I purchased with the thought of gifting to a sibling and they arrived today. As soon...

    iPhone XS Max Need new iPhone XS Max ASAP - best way? (Best Buy?)

    Unfortunately, I need to purchase a new iPhone today. I'd like the max. The today part rules out buying directly through Apple as there's no apple store nearby. If I buy through Best Buy, is it unlocked? Or will they lock it to a carrier? Can I then have my carrier (Sprint) unlock it? I'd...

    Best Buy 1-Day Shipping Reliability!

    So...After not pre-ordering an Apple Watch, and mistakenly thinking I would be able to walk in and buy a space black 40 mm series four, I found myself on Best Buy’s website today.

I placed the purchase late Friday afternoon (9/14), and the confirmation states will ship/receive by Sept 21st. Too good to be true? I believe I have heard...

    Will upgrading the storage of my MBP void my warranty?

    I have a Mid-2015 (15-inch) MBP that I got from Best Buy with 256GB. I also got Geek Squad and Apple Care. I have been looking to upgrade my storage (but might also have a shop do it). I was wondering if upgrading will void my warranty. Please help

    Warranty on refurbished AW purchased from Best Buy?

    I noticed today that Best Buy sells refurbished Apple Watches. They advertise a 90-day warranty on the product page, and I'm wondering if that means there is no warranty at all directly from Apple. I'm also curious if AppleCare+ can be purchased for these devices (refurbished AW from BB).
