How to order many iPhones without getting cancelled?
« on: September 08, 2016, 02:10:49 PM »
It's that time of year again... last year I placed orders from about 15 separate accounts with separate credit cards and billing addresses and they all got cancelled.

Anyone know what the formula is to not trip one of Apples red flags?

Slightly off topic, but with their upcoming poor sales numbers, I can't believe they're refusing orders.

Unless you're going to tell me the resold devices are all going overseas where Apple will sell the same quantity at a higher price.

Incognito will not hide your IP, only your cookies and cache.

You can use VPN, or use your 3G or LTE connection and disconnect/reconnect after every order. I believe the cell carriers provide a different IP every time you connect.

This all assumes that using a different IP will actually work...

I think you are correct in that they don't want "gray market" sales undercutting their own prices.

Are there companies paying for iPhones, like PFS does for coins? If yes, I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this, or is there? ::)

Anyone know what the return policy is on pre-ordered iPhone 7?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Probably shouldn't be an issue to return them,
But delivery for the 16th isn't available anymore
What's your plan for yud shvat?

For T-Mobile not available anymore, other carriers there still is.

For anyone ordering- Sprint is offering the 256 GB iphone with installment plan for the same price as the 128GB-

if you're a 'loyal' customer you may also get a 10$ monthly credit bringing the device to around $560 with taxes when all is said and done.

T-mobile version won't work on Verizon like last year. They where the only ones not requiring an existing carrier account.

How does the "iPhone forever" upgrade work?
As a "loyal" customer it's only $16 a month and get a new phone every year?
Sounds too good...
