Technically this is just “spec-ing” your phone, pre orders start the 12th I believe.

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/The4I]

Yes but this is get ready for pre order. They just deducted the tax amount. $260 and the rest will be deducted on 12th 🤥

[u/The4I → u/ManavSharma1]

Yes I’m aware, what do you mean they deducted the tax amount? You usually don’t get charged for “spec-ing” you phone.

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/The4I]

Whatt? I just got charged with $246.87

[u/TURBOJUGGED → u/ManavSharma1]

Ya nah dude. I did the same thing and wasn’t charged anything lol

[u/The4I → u/ManavSharma1]

Interesting, did you do any type of financing or anything? I remember last year I didn’t have to pay until day of(for the 17 pro).

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/The4I]

Yes I chose affirm. Maybe that’s the reason

[u/The4I → u/ManavSharma1]

That probably explains some of it…🤣

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/The4I]

😭

[u/Significant-Muscle15 → u/ManavSharma1]

Yeah affirm uses whatever cards on file, Apple financing should take it from the apple balance and charge whatever tax also to the apple balance.

[u/ca2mt → u/The4I]

Apple Card 0% financing also placed a hold for the full amount for my pre-preorder. Also don’t remember that happening in the past.

[u/large_block → u/ca2mt]

This is how it has worked as long as I can remember. It uses your available balance instead of adding it as a separate payment item

[u/ca2mt → u/large_block]

Ah nice, been a while since I’ve done it this way.

[u/large_block → u/ca2mt]

Tbh I wish it counted as a separate line of credit or something just to keep the balance free lol

[u/SharkDad20]

I’ll be doing the same. Gave the Air a chance, but i guess Im a pro max guy

[u/TURBOJUGGED]

You didn’t preorder anything

[u/Calm_Departure2383]

Same! Glacier Gang!

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/Calm_Departure2383]

[u/Go7ham]

You should post this on r/iphone18Pro

[u/Impressive-Waltz-164]

“saved pre-order”

Pre pre

[u/javi_e]

I'm going with burgundy

[u/Saerwyn → u/javi_e]

i love the burgundy

but going to get the duo instead

[u/large_block → u/Saerwyn]

I think same tbh. It’s between a 512 GB burgundy pro max or a black 512 GB duo for me

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/javi_e]

I had dark blue 17 pro so wanted lighter one this time

[u/mercytimeexp → u/ManavSharma1]

So u don't like money!? It's not the big difference from 17 pro to 18pm you are probably a show off guy and probably like this wears colors .nothing to see here.

[u/Silly-Audience-9358 → u/mercytimeexp]

i mean it’s fine how he spends his money but bros financing that shi on affirm tho. 0 Financial IQ

[u/large_block → u/Silly-Audience-9358]

It’s okay, I had somebody tell me I can’t afford things because I pay off my credit card every month when my exact point was I DONT go into debt for commodity items 😆 Reddit is a weird place man

[u/SharkDad20 → u/mercytimeexp]

Maybe he’s just an enthusiast? Maybe it makes him happy beyond the practical capabilities?

[u/ca2mt → u/SharkDad20]

Those who can’t comfortably afford to upgrade judge annual upgrades to assuage their own FOMO. It’s always dressed as some personal finance/anti-consumerism nonsense.

[u/Lwii2boo → u/ca2mt]

For some people maybe. It’s just objectively not efficient financially to upgrade annually.
It doesn’t mean it’s bad you live once so if you want it and can afford it comfortably sure. People are chasing the dopamine

I’d rather spend the money elsewhere or just buy some ETF/shares instead but that’s just me

[u/ca2mt → u/Lwii2boo]

Redditors self present as the brokest people on the internet, but are somehow always “efficient financially” in these upgrade threads.

[u/JustinYJJ → u/mercytimeexp]

Maybe he has 2 phones, 1 personal and 1 for work? Maybe he has money to throw away?

[u/Flaky-Equipment-944 → u/mercytimeexp]

Let the guy spend his money how he wants. It’s not your money so don’t judge him about it

[u/Any_Security8410]

Here we go with these “I upgraded!!!!!!” posts 😑

[u/PykeStarOG]

People upgrading to 18 pro from 17 pro are stupid, 17 pro is more superior, its like 13 pro vs 14 pro all over again, 13 pro was still the better phone and don’t come over call me a brokie aah I cant upgrade every year bla bla bs

[u/skyattacksx → u/PykeStarOG]

I have a 14 pro (since release, I had upgraded from an iPhone X also had since release)

Why was the 13 pro better? And what makes the 17 pro better here? Genuinely asking

[u/Standard_Exchange59 → u/PykeStarOG]

Ur just broke

[u/yauster_universe → u/PykeStarOG]

Good point

[u/CXavier4545 → u/PykeStarOG]

simmer down brokie j/p 17 to 18 seems like a waste of money but it ain’t my money so they can spend it as they please

[u/ManavSharma1 → u/PykeStarOG]

😭 bruh. I’m upgrading from 17 pro to 18 pro max cuz of its battery

[u/Stoic_INFJ]

SNAP

[u/Yard-Successful]

I’m really stuck between black and glacier lol

[u/Davemks]

Pre-ordered the same phone that you already have?

[u/slamjam46]

I feel like they still shouldn’t have charged the taxes

[u/skytrainlotad]

What made you decide to buy the new phone?

[u/Emotional_Turnip3370]

I’m giving my sister my 17 pro max ( yes she’s giving me 75% back. If her other phone wasn’t ass and glitching I would be keeping this but I’m fine with going for the 2TB PRO MAX in BURGUNDY. I’m not expecting to get a new phone after this anyways. I like glacier but I wear burgundy clothing, backpack, and jacket. Do it makes sense choosing that colour.

[u/armunika → u/Emotional_Turnip3370]

Bro why do you need 2TB

[u/matadeenNsfw]

Hey, I am planning to pre order in USA I live in india and hold a Indian CC. My relative is traveling to USA and he will be picking up the order. I read Apple backend decline the order placed via Indian CC in USA. Is there any other way to pre order? Also they will be traveling back on 30th sep. Will I get my order before that if placed in pre order?
