Reserving iPhone through Apple Store App

I just reserved my iPhone 4 through the Apple Store App and it showed 299 for the 32gb when I reserved it, but the email I received showing I reserved it, says I reserved the 32gb iPhone 4 at a price of 699.00. SAY WHAT! Anyone have this same problem? Will I be held to that price or pay the 299? Thank you for replying.

Same thing happened to me. Used the app and entered my info (cell no zip code last four of ss). Didn't get any kind of confirmation in the app that my order was placed but got the email. I'm thinking that the fine print is just Apple covering their butt in case something happens (natural disaster, launch delayed, etc). I thought a reservation is just that - a phone is held and reserved for you. Is that the way it worked for previous launches of iPhone and the iPad? I am assuming that I can get the 199 price at the store when I pick it up

  • IPhone 4 ordered through Apple Store app costs $699?!

    I used the new iPhone Apple Store app to order my new iPhone 4. It checked my eligibility and said it would be $299, but the email I received said $699! It did the same thing for my wife and my father.

    I called AT&T today and was told 3 times, i would have to pay $499.99 for the upgrade being that I was in one year of my two year contract. So I qualify for partial discount.
    I called AT&T a second time, later in the day just to make sure it was $499.99
    I just got back from the AT&T store. They wanted $699.99
    I walked out of the store without a complaint. This is "BAD" business practices.
    I refuse to pay $699.99 and might just cancel the iPhone all together.
    *Do not pay $699.99 no matter what.*
    Did you try the *639# option on your phone? It tells you if you are eligible for an upgrade. I only say this because I'm also in year one of my two-year contract, but when I dialed that number, I got a text saying I am eligible for an upgrade, paying an $18 upgrade fee. Additionally, when I entered my AT&T info when reserving a phone today, my price was $199 (for 16gb).
    Now I'm worried that I'll get there next week and they'll make me pay $399.

  • What are advantages/disadvantages of getting iphone through Apple store vs. Verizon?

    What advantage/ disadvantage is there to getting an iphone 6 through the Apple store vs. Verizon? Currently my provider, single plan and eligible for an upgrade. Think the $60.00/month of unlimited talk,text and 2GB data is what I'm interested in with Verizon. Thank You.

    I can't think of any significant difference if both stores are in an equally convenient location for you other than if you plan to purchase AppleCare +, it might be slightly more convenient to buy the phone at the Apple Store and buy that at the same time. http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A/applecare-for-iphone

  • Got mine through apple store app

    after trying 4-5 times before lunch yesterday, i read that the new app may be cause of problems. So at about 2:00 (central time) I downloaded it, went to reserve icon, placed order and got confirmation email in less than 2 minutes (all over the edge network to boot). Told co-workers after and they tried, only to get "app isn't taking orders at this time, got to apple website for now message"....weird.
    pretty psyched to get iphone4, and really wasn't too hard despite the online problems.

  • Can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades?

    can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades? for example, can you setup a new line of service to an existing verizon account and port the ATT number over using the apple store app on iphone?

    I have been waiting for a post like this.  Just ordered mine from AT&T and the tax is close to $52. At an 8% mark that also equals to $649.  I think they are charging full retail sales tax.  I called AT&T and they couldn't explain it to easily they started saying that there is an extra luxury tax but I think they don't know it's just full retail tax.  They also said that it's just a hold on my card by final charge will be processed when the phone gets shipped.
    I checked fine print of sprint and AT&T. Ecause when you upgrade online with AT&T you don't pay tax but it states that it will be collected at the time it shipped. Sprint charges $24 which is almost half but also claims that there might be an extra tax when it shipped. 
    I am puzzled by the whole issue.  But 25 bucks won't get me not to order my phone.  I was able to get credit from my carrier because of the competition in the form of statement credits.  Ordered 2 phones and een after crazy high tax I got one for red plus some :). Tax is crazy anyone else order it an have this issue please share

  • Anyone can help me fixed my iphone as I am living in Thailand and bought Iphone from apple store website but there is not any way i can contact apple staff through website! and direct phone!

    I just bought new iphone from apple store from few weeks only but now i cant even make a phoen call and everytime i try to open "phone" function, it just error and stop on that page without any response.
    So i tried to close that app and re open it but it doesnot woek i couldnt do anything means i have phone but cant use it as phone.
    And i couldnt even contact apple staff through internet and phone call.
    I need to talk with apple as i didnt bought it from dealer in Thailand so i cant take it to dealer service center, apple, please support me in this case urgently.
    Thank you.

    Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, and finally restore as New.  I suggest you try ALL of these steps if your phone continues to have problems.
    If after ALL 4 steps your phone still doesn't work, you've no choice but to have your phone serviced by Apple.  As you've found out, the iPhone warranty is NOT and has NEVER been international.  You'll have to send your phone to someone in the country of purchase to bring your phone into Apple--and then to have that person send the phone back to you.

  • Sorry last question got knocked back my ipad and iPhone on two different levels and I am not able to play through Facebook so not able to progress or unlock next level through Apple store. Don't know how to resolve problem

    Sorry last question got knocked back my ipad and iPhone on two different levels and I am not able to play through Facebook so not able to progress or unlock next level through Apple store. Don't know how to resolve problem

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • I had to change my email for my apple account on my iPhone 4.  when I go to add an app or update an app it shows the old email.. so I can't delete apps for this to work becuz I would have to delete my apple store app and it won't let me

    I had to change my email for my apple acct on my iPhone e 4.  When I go add an app or update an app the old apple email comes up.  I can't delete an apple store app.  So how do I refresh the apple store app?

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • IPhone 6 preorders available now via iPhone Apple Store App

    I'm in Chicago and have been waiting to order the iPhone 6 via Apple's website store.  At 2:56 AM CT it is still unavailable.  Took the chance on using the Apple Store app on my iPhone and it is available and I placed my order with no problems.

    I started to order mine right at 3am EST and the site wasn't up so I tried the app about 5 minutes later and was able to get the preorder for my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and email confirmation right away. Looks like they may be having issues with the main website. Good Luck Everyone!

  • I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4

    I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4.
    We're sorry, the Apple Store app is currently not supported in the country associated with your Apple ID.
    I am in USA and my correct address is on my account.

    you can't, but you can simply ignore it. but if you REALLY want to delete it, call apple customer support to ask for a deletion. though, you'll need the password and security questions of the old account.
    you can manage your apple ID's at: https://appleid.apple.com/

  • The orientation of the apple store on my iPad appears to look limited and like an iPhone.  I deleted the apple store app and reinstalled but no luck.  Also the screen doe not rotate

    My apple store app will not change orientation when I rotate my iPad and appears limited .  I deleted the app and reinstalled but didnot fix it

    The "Apple Store App" is an iPhone app and while it works on the iPad, you cannot change the orientation of the app. You can enlarge it by tapping on the 2X in the bottom corner, but you cannot rotate the app on the screen.

  • Why is the Apple Store App not optimized for iPhone 5?

    You would think that the Apple Store app would be optimized for iPhone 5 4inch screen? Isn't this an APPLE PRODUCT.   Come on let's get an update!!

    You're not addressing Apple here, and any attempt to do so makes you look foolish. We're users here, just like you.
    Here's where feedback to Apple goes:  http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • Preordered iPhone 5 for Verizon (through Apple Store) will it come with a SIM card for LTE or do I need one from Verizon? (Noticed their preorder site says it is included)

    Preordered iPhone 5 for Verizon (through Apple Store) will it come with a SIM card for LTE or do I need one from Verizon? (Noticed their preorder site says it is included)

    Sorry, didnt clarify, Verizon's site said it is included but Apple's (where I preordered) did not mention it.

  • Apple store app using location in ios7.1 even when not launched

    Just updated to iOS7.1 on my iphone. SUDDENLY the location icon on my menu bar remains on and is showing active use of location (under settings..... privacy.... location..... )... APPLE STORE is turned ON for location services..... but it is showing as ACTIVELY using location (battery life and phone resources) despite the app not even being launched
    My fix? Turn off LOCATION services for APPLE STORE APP... and the location icon goes away.
    Closing out the app manually DOES NOT stop the active use of locaiton services BY THIS APP.  
    Only app acting this way since change to iOS7.1
    Is this affecting other people the same way?

    I do, but the same was happening with earlier iOS versions. I think its due to system services using location, like for traffic, cell network search, etc. For me they typically go away after 10 or so minutes, so I left the ones I think may be useful on, but if you turn location off for system services then you shouldn't get the intermittent location querying at all.

  • Why does the iPad not have an Apple Store app?

    I was wondering, why has Apple not made an Apple Store app for the iPad yet? It's been a while now that the iPad has been out and the iPhone has had it but why not make one for iPad too? It could be designed correctly to be a lot more user friendly on an iPad then the website in my opinion...
