iPhone 15 Preorder Thread
Apple's iPhone 15 lineup is set to launch on September 22. iPhone enthusiasts have eagerly anticipated it all over the world. In this article, I'll discuss the new iPhone lineup and key features. Keep reading to learn more about this highly anticipated event!
Tech specs and features of the iPhone 15 lineup
The iPhone 15 lineup comes with ceramic shield glass that makes them highly resistant to damage. There is now more room on the screen because they upgraded the old bezel notch to a Dynamic Island which provides alerts and shortcuts to your favorite apps. They also converted to the USB type-C charging port that supports faster charging and data transfer. Keeping safety in mind, Apple also includes two years of emergency SOS and roadside assistance via Satellite on all iPhone 15 models.
Its A16 Bionic chipset makes the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models faster and more efficient than previous iPhone models. The battery has 100% recycled cobalt and offers all day battery life. Cameras are always a big deal on phones and the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus don't disappoint. The main camera is 48MP and has 12 MP Telephoto capabilities built in. It also includes an Ultra-wide camera on the back and a true depth front camera.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max differentiate themselves from the others in this lineup with the A17 Pro chip, which takes processing and machine learning power up a notch. Apple says that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are the "next level of gaming." These phones also come with some changes in the body with the titanium body in four great colors - Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium and Natural Titanium. The Pro models of iPhones always have stronger cameras, and this year is no different. They have a 48 MP main camera with a larger sensor, the wide-angle lens, and a 12MP Telephoto lens with up to 10X zoom and 3-direction stabilization.

Looks like same issues in ordering this year as last year, systems having issues and tried twice and both said supposed to “call me back”….
I pre-ordered the iphone15 on two of our four lines today. We had to upgrade early. Am I able to cancel that upgrade/pre order? I'd honestly rather wait until we have a ready upgrade. I felt very pressured over the phone.
I moved over to T-mobile last year and traded in for an iPhone 14 for my wife and I. We received a trade in credit on the Magenta Max plan.
If we were to trade in our iPhone 14 for the 15, is this what would happen if we stay on the Magenta Max plan:
- We pay off remaining balances for our phones.
- We still keep the remaining credits from our 2022 trade in promo for our iPhone 14 phones.
- We then trade in our phones for the iPhone 15 and get $1,000 trade in credits.
- We then have the monthly finance fee - the credits that we got from the iPhone 15 promo and the remaining credit promos from our iPhone 14 trade in last year.
Is that right?
And if we were to go with the Go5G Next plan, is the only difference between the above is:
- We don’t need to pay off remaining balance (as long as we paid 50% of the phone cost already)
- We then pay difference in price plan between our old Magenta Max and the new Go5G Next plan.
Anyone know what upgrading from a 14 Pro 128 to the 15 Pro 128 is costing up front and monthly? I have the original Jump on Demand option on this line. I am seeing conflicting information. Gracias.
I'm trying to order the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the Apple website and get the $350 trade-in deal. I have the Magenta 55+ plan, and I'm trading in an iPhone XR. But when I go through the purchase process, it says I would have to upgrade to either Go5G Plus for a $400 trade-in credit or Go5G for a $350 credit. Aren't all of the Magenta plans supposed to qualify for the $350 trade-in credit?

None of the Magenta plans are eligible. The fine print is pretty clear about this.
Copied directly from https://www.t-mobile.com/news/devices/t-mobile-to-offer-all-new-iphone-15-lineup:
- Get up to $650 off any iPhone 15 model on Magenta MAX, $350 off on Go5G and Magenta and $200 off on almost all other T-Mobile plans when trading in an eligible device.

Hi! So I updated by account from Magenta Max to Go5G Next this morning in order to be eligible to upgrade my phone tomorrow morning. However, on the apple website when I try to use the "get ready" function I get a note from T-mobile that I need to choose a new wireless plan to Go5G Más to be eligible for the trade in/$0 per month promotion. Doesn't make sense because that would be a downgrade since Next is more expensive and has the annual upgrade option. Anyone else seeing this? I'd love to use the Apple Store vs. T-Mobile site for the pre-order tomorrow morning but wondering if there is a glitch (or maybe timing?)
When you change plans online, it takes effect the start of the next billing cycle. You can back date your change to this cycle, but you can only do that with chat or calling a live representative (It's what I did).
The change cost me $10 more a month to save almost $60 a month in credits for 2 phones.I’m going to share my pre-order experience with the hope that it helps someone else either now or in the future.
I have JOD and am upgrading from the 14 Pro 128GB to 15 Pro Max 256GB.
Typically the 14 Pro 128GB is $249.99 down plus tax and $28 monthly. So, I was in for a bit of sticker shock when I learned that the 15 Pro Max 256GB is $449.99 plus tax and $25 monthly. For some reason I was expecting it to be $100 more up front and $100 more for purchase option price at the end of the 18 months lease, but I was wrong.
Once I got over the sticker shock and decided to proceed, everything went smoothly, albeit slow due to system overload, which is not surprising on pre-order day.
A couple of key takeaways for me during the process:
- When I first called, I was routed to customer service in India.. No bueno.. their training and language skills are lacking and they are so verbose, had I continued with the sweet but inefficient rep, I would have never been able to complete the order. After 2 minutes of her babbling and NOT taking my information (which I always have handy to expedite the process), I requested to be transferred to a US based rep. And she did.
- Unlike last year when I pre-ordered the 14 Pro on JOD, and was disconnected 2 times (luckily the 2nd rep called back), the phone stayed connected despite being placed on hold several times. This was an improvement.
- I was quoted a price including down payment and tax by the rep, and there were no shipping fees or service charges for using their phone service. I gave him my credit card and after processing it, I received the email to read the agreement, provide and electronic signature to complete the order. I intentionally kept the rep on the line (normally they would thank you, ask you if they could help with anything else and end the call) just to be sure that there were no surprises in the e-document, and I'm so glad that I did. There was a $35 service connection fee charge on the e-doc! I explained to the rep that there should be NO additional charges beyond the down payment and tax. He spoke with his supervisor and said that it's automatically added by their system. He then said that he would apply a $35 credit to our account to offset this charge, and I verified that he did.
In the old days, despite the free (2 day?) shipping, I've always received the phone on release day. My order says expected ship date is 9/22, so we'll see. If it doesn't arrive until Monday or Tuesday, I really don't care. I just need to be here to sign and make sure that the porch pirates in Los Angeles don't beat up the UPS driver. What a world.
Anyway, I hope that sharing my experience will help someone reading this. And I hope that you all enjoy your new iPhones. 😀
