Anyone else having a problem with Rogers charging an early upgrade fee when it’s been more than 2 years since than last upgrade?
Don’t they make you sign 3 year deals still?
Yeah! i upgraded to my iphone 4 on launch for free, and that was after 2 years. its been more than 2 years now, but the automated 611 number told me there was a fee
Upgrade fees apply until your 2.5 years into your 3 year contract. So I was told by a customer service rep
Seems lots of folks are still having their 5s “Preparing to Ship”… any commonality?? Mine status this and the phone is white w/64 gb. Just looking to see if others, with similar orders are getting the same status/
You’re lucky … I ordered a 64GB White as well an it’s still “In Progress”
I called apple support and they said its depending on where you live. For the ones that have it shipped already, it is coming from China. For the ones that are still preparing are probably coming from the US or Canada stock pile.
She said it really depends on where you live. So I really hope I get it on Friday.
Is it just me or does the Lighting cable seem a lot longer by the pics?
I ordered through Telus right after midnight but still haven’t heard anything from them.
Me too. Anyone to any clue?
I ordered through Rogers, and the tracking number confirms it was delivered to my Rogers Store on Wed at 9:50 am 😀
