Last year, I had the simplest experience of upgrading the iPhone. I woke up at 3am, opened my Apple Store application, waited a few moments for the server load to stabilize so I could enter this application, confirm my iPhone X, and then go back to bed. It took fifteen minutes and I never had to set foot in an Apple Store.
How did I accomplish this magic feat? Pre-approval. Last year, Apple let customers of the iPhone upgrade program hand over their loan approval documents at an early stage. During the supply crisis of the iPhone X, those who were able to get their pre-approval and bought their phone in the brief window after the launch of pre-orders at midnight were among the only ones to have had the launch of the iPhone X.
This year, the time required to get pre-approval is a little shorter, you do not have until 4pm PDT on Thursday, September 13th to get your prior approval. But once you do, your ordering process will be quick and easy. Unless you're looking for an iPhone XR (pre-orders will not open until next month), there's no excuse for not being pre-approved today.
Check your eligibility
This step is much simpler this year. For customers of the iPhone upgrade program, when you open the Apple Store app, you find that Apple has already verified your eligibility and determined what you need to pay to make the upgrade. level (practically 12 monthly payments). Click on Start now and the application will take you to the pre-approval screen.
If you are lucky, it will welcome you when you open the application.Anthony Karcz
To start
This screen will be familiar to anyone who has already participated in a pre-approval iPhone. The list of steps is the same as last year. It's a bit tedious, but far less than watching an Apple employee click on the same screens and confirm and reconfirm the data you've already provided him.
What is interesting here, is that the educational screens regarding the exchange process have disappeared this year (but if you want to check the terms, you can click to find out more). It is therefore possible to choose a mail upgrade kit. I imagine that the postal program of last year has worked so well that everyone will go in this direction. Keep in mind that if your iPhone has a broken screen or significant damage, Apple will charge you the AppleCare + premium of $ 100 for a replacement iPhone.
Click on To start.

Big, bigger or bigger?Anthony Karcz
The only choice you can make on the next screen is the iPhone XS. The pre-orders for the iPhone XR are getting closer to the launch of October 19th. Click on To select.
Here you can choose the 5.8-inch XS or the new "Holy Hoppin Jobs, that's great," the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. I found that the 6-inch screen of the iPhone X offered everything I needed this year … until I saw that I could get more. I will select the XS Max.
On the next screen, you will choose your finish (I am a Space Gray lover myself, but if you are Rose Gold or Silver, there is no shame). Once you have selected it, you can choose your memory options. I stayed with 256 GB because most of my data is stored on Apple or Google servers. But the new 512 GB option is here if you need it! Your monthly payment will be clearly displayed for each option (minus AppleCare + add-ons).
Before clicking Confirm the iPhone preference, make sure it's precisely the iPhone XS or XS Max that you want to pre-order. You will only be able to modify your pre-approved details once the pre-orders have been activated. And anyone who has fought with the Apple Store application the day of pre-ordering knows that these few minutes can mean the difference between getting a new iPhone and waiting for months.
New AppleCare + Options
It's up to you to see if it's worth $ 49.40 a year.Apple
Once you have selected your iPhone of choice, you have a new decision to make. Since the launch of the iPhone upgrade program, AppleCare + has been integrated with the cost of your purchase contract. This gives you replacement and repair protection, allowing you to repair minor damages of $ 29 (or free if the genie feels magnanimous) or a brand new iPhone for $ 100 if the damage is severe enough.
Now, for an additional $ 4.19 per month, you can get protection against theft and loss. It forces you to have Find my iPhone activated on your phone at the time of the loss (but you have already done it, right?). Aside from this reservation, the theft and loss program will allow you to take a replacement device for the following premiums.
$ 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. [Source: Apple.com]
Whether it's worth it or not, it's up to you to decide, but if you've already lost your iPhone or if you've stolen it, it might be interesting.

The rest of the stages feel more streamlined this year. Maybe it's just that I'm used to song and dancing at this point, having gone through it many times for all the iPhones in my family. You will confirm your carrier, be approved for your Citizens One loan (which should be automatic unless something radical has happened to your finances), and click on the terms and conditions.
Now, do not sleep anymore through your alarm!Anthony Karcz
Once you're done, make sure you add the pre-order event to your calendar! After all, it would be a shame to go that far and then forget about setting your alarm. The landing page of the Apple Store app will indicate that you are pre-approved. On Friday at midnight Pacific daylight time, you will switch to a link that you can click to access directly to the pre-order iPhone that you have chosen during pre-approval.
See you soon on Friday morning!
