I think I’ll maybe try to reserve one tomorrow and then extend the contract, then we’ll know whether it works or not

@jarhead I plan to too. It doesn’t cost anything to ask.

@The DarkAngel

If not these things, they’ll get rid of them anyway 😉

Call at 6 a.m. and you can pick it up at the Apple Store the same day

@jarhead That’s true. I actually just want to know whether the model I want is available in the Apple store and, if so, whether that is also possible with a contract extension. Shouldn’t really be a problem. Maybe they can at least provide information about what the black Plus models look like.

Swisscom extending your contract directly with Apple is no problem. My sister did that. She already has her jet black. Only business subscriptions from Swisscom cannot be extended. That’s why I have to wait.

@BigBenn Nobody is in the Apple Store at 6.

@BigBenn

But how can that be when you say 2-3 weeks when you buy and the other retailers don’t have any so that they sell a pair over the counter every day?

just a joke!

Does anyone have the internet address for Switzerland to reserve?

You can also try after 6:00 if the model you want is not available in the morning. As I said, my sister was able to reserve it around 11:00 a.m. and picked it up the same day at 2:30 p.m. with an extension to the contract. It only takes about an hour.

@jarhead
That could very well be, since Apple certainly uses its own sales channels with more bandwidth. As a manufacturer, I would set it up that way too.

There is no hypothetical global queue on which all purchasers are queued.

@jarhead I couldn’t find an email address. I’ll call them tomorrow.

@MightyNicM

That’s the case, but that’s not what I want to get out of…

If I order from Apple now I have to wait 2-3 weeks apparently…….. If I reserve one at 0600 I can get it straight away?????? Isn’t this a correct procedure? or do you already think so?

@jarhead
In one case you have to pick it up, in the other it will be sent to you. In both cases there is a separate ordering process. Apple can basically decide for itself which offers they make and how they implement them.

I’m also waiting for my iPhone from Swisscom, but I want to benefit from the loyalty bonus, so I can’t complain!

What if you ordered the iPhone with a contract extension from Swisscom, could I still call tomorrow and reserve one from Apple but with a contract extension? Do I have to cancel my current order beforehand or can they do it there?

@Dejan08 Lots of questions and no answers. We’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow morning and hope to get a competent Apple employee.

By the way, Apple does offer this trade-in program. You can sell your iPhone to Apple. I tried it, I just had to enter the serial number and describe the condition of the device according to the template. Unfortunately they can’t make me an offer, but they would take it back and recycle it. Hey, my iPhone is in perfect condition, probably too expensive for Apple. Then at some point my son will get it or it will go to eBay.

@Dejan08 Just call the Apple Store. They should be able to give you a reasonable answer to your questions. I’ll definitely give it a try. It would be enough for me to know how long you have to wait for the plus in black. Well let’s see what comes out tomorrow. If it is possible to get one quickly with a contract extension, I will of course jump on it. At least there is now a store in Basel. If not, then I’ll just have to wait.

You have to order online at 6 a.m. on the Apple website and then when you have paid for it you can click on the link at the top right and select the store where you can pick it up. There is a limited number available every day in every shop
