Other iPhone Upgrade Program

[Djones96]

Hey all,

I know we are still a little ways out from the iPhone 15 being announced and pre orders taking place, but I figured I’d get ahead of the curve.
This year I plan on ordering a 15 when pre orders go live, and I also plan on getting on the Apple Upgrade Program. When submitting your order, what is the process of enrolling in the upgrade program? Will this slow down the order process or is it pretty seamless? I’m hoping to get a delivery date as soon as possible and don’t want to be slowed down if getting on the upgrade program is a longer process when checking out. Any advice is much appreciated!

For the iPhone upgrade program, Apple will give the opportunity to "configure your pre-order ahead of time". This will allow you to be pre-approved before pre-orders go live.

It should not slow down the order process. Once all the info is filled, the app store will grant you the option to save your "configuration"

On pre-order day, you click your iPhone and hit buy.

Awesome. Thank you very much!

Let's say when you join and within 12 months, the battery health drops to 80% will Apple replace the battery for free?
Also, can the phone have any scratches on the screen when I return it, or should I just put a screen protector?

Yes it can have scratches. And highly doubt it your new iPhone will drop to 80% in 12 months.

This is what I’ve been doing for the last 4 years. AUP is easy and smooth. I have never missed a launch day iPhone.

I'll just get a cheap screen protector from Amazon or Aliexpress.

 

[hovscorpion12]

Granted I'll still use Spigen for screen protectors. This year, however, could be the first year I don't buy any cases.

I’m thinking along the same line as you. I always use cases, but this year I’m considering not.

If titanium is not slippery then no case for me this year.

My plan is ceaseless around the house and in silcone case when I’m out and take case off when in office e.t.c. I plan to get apple care though. My only concern going caseless is the lens

I'm at the point where I'll do AC+ and a screen protector while placing the phone screen side down due to the cost of replacing the screen being lower than back glass replacement.

I may just take a cloth with me everywhere and place it where my phone Goes lol

 

[Djones96]

What color y’all going with? I’m personally torn between blue and the titan gray

 

[Ameer_1]

I'll get the base iPhone since I don't really see a difference with the pro models. Most likely white

The iPhone upgrade program does include Apple Care+. No need to repurchase

I'm hoping Apple improves the black.

But if you drop the phone and it crack do they replace it for free?

Exactly. They make it ridiculously easy to give them your monies. Once config is set and saved, I think it is something like two or three taps and the phone is ordered.

No. You pay a deductible.

Apple sells a $20 cloth iirc

Not for free, but the terms for Apple Care+ applies.

The only difference in the iPhone Upgrade Program is that Apple Care+ bundled instead of separate.

"Under AppleCare+, each accidental damage incident is subject to a service fee of $29 for screen or back glass damage or $99 for other accidental damage."

Exactly what I am thinking!

That's a very low price to pay for damaged screens!

We have AC+ on MBP at work and if a screen gets cracked, it's $99.
