That’s ok. Also, nah I didn’t have Reddit back then lol

3uTools on windows can do this, otherwise I’m of no help.

I really like the ink case. It’s got a bluish purple tint to it that I think pairs really well with the black camera.

That is terrible. Sorry for your inconvenience. I get so excited over new devices. I would be crushed.

Then the Apple forum thread was misleading (users discussed it so it may be), thanks for clearing up!

Idiots. Not like they could activate the phone on any carrier now if you file stolen claim. The IMEI is tied to you.

My internet equipment I ordered at the same time as the phone came via FedEx with a tracking number. It actually arrived when the phone was supposed to. It took me like 2 days to finally track down the package with the supposed iPhone, because it came late and I never received a tracking order.

That’s exactly what I was wondering- how did they know a phone was in there? I looked on the box and there is no indication. Unless it was stolen directly at the Verizon warehouse, but I don’t think so, because it would’ve been packaged up with the brown tape Verizon uses. It was resealed with clear tape, and the store associate told me that’s an indication it was tampered with.

How did my phone being taken out of the shipping package, removed from the iPhone box, empty iPhone box placed back in the shipping package, and sealed again, fulfill anyones contract with Apple?

Is pro RAW something like a camera setting? I love photography and one of the big reasons I was so excited to upgrade was so I could take amazing photos on my iPhone with the nice camera. So once I figure out what pro RAW is and how to use it, I will definitely be using it.

I’m not a professional content creator but I create content for fun. I want this phone to edit my extreme sports videos, travel stuff, take high quality pics of my friends, things like that.

What about creating a new post?

Create new posts in the subreddits you love, with an amazing built-in image uploader, Markdown text editor, and more. Some people are confused why posting is a paid feature, it's a combination of a few things. The majority of people on Reddit consume content rather than posting it (there's even a Wikipedia article about this phenomenon!)) so it's a nice feature to be like 'hey, if you're doing this, could you support the app'? Secondly, it was a common feature to make 'Pro' in other Reddit apps, like Alien Blue when it was around. Lastly, even though it might seem like a 'basic' feature on the surface, I put a lot of hours into designing and coding the feature in Apollo, and I hope it's not too harsh to ask to be paid to support my work.

Email them threatening legal action against UPS. Doesn’t matter if you have any intention of hiring a lawyer. That message (and a complaint to the Better Business Bureau) will likely end up in some kind of benefit for you. Sorry this happens. People can be shitty.

On my previous phone, I had to buy the 2TB of iCloud data. My apps would offload themselves, my phone was constantly having issues because I had no space, and I could only have 1 social media app at once.

Edit to add: I’m going to return the phone after my trip and order a 512, and have it sent to the store. I’ll be in a 36 month payment which I’ll have to follow through to get my $800 trade in at the end of the 36 months. To me, the $200 price difference over 36 months is worth it to not have to worry about storage. I’m just wondering if I should order it now, so it’s at the store when I’m back from my trip?

Yes, the store associates were incredibly helpful. Tracking the package down was a pain in my ass in the first place, since it was 2 days late even though I paid for overnight and I was never sent a tracking number. The tracking number I was sent, which I thought was for the iPhone, was just for my internet equipment. That arrived when the phone was supposed to arrive. I was running around town and getting passed around customer service call centers. Then when I got the phone, it wasn’t even in the case. I just have to laugh about it a little, honestly.

This setting has nothing to do with the post, rather the one in the picture just divides up your messages app into different sections depending on if you have the interacted numbers in various conversations as saved or not.

I don’t, lol. I’ve decided I will be using the phone for my trip, so I have a working device for safety, then returning it and getting the 512.

I’ve never paid and I’m replying with Apollo here.

Thank you! This is exactly what I will be doing. I really appreciate it!

Yea, the Verizon associate tells me this happens very often. I wish they gave me the option to ship it to the store, or that I knew that was an option.

Thank you for your comment! I would like to say, I don’t think I worded my original post well about which box was which.

It was the white iPhone container box (you know how they come in new white boxes with a picture of the phone on the front) was empty. It was still inside a brown shipping box. So someone opened my shipping box, grabbed the white iPhone box out, opened it and removed the phone, then put the iPhone box back in the shipping box.

I had grabbed the iPhone box, from the top of the brown shipping package, and ran to the phone store with it, and opened it there in front of the associate, where we found it was empty, so clearly deliberately stolen.

Plug in the charger.

I’m sure the sales associates could care less. This seems like a good plan to get you a phone for your trip then trade it for the one you had originally tried to purchase. Good luck!

thanks! i actually have 3 (in one of the photos their eating yogurt)

This is actually super interesting, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! I guess it makes sense though. I have heard of people who worked retail who had to get searched before going home.

Thank you for your sympathy, I appreciate it. I can’t help but feel like this is somehow my fault, it’s my first phone buying experience and my first time having my own line (I was on a family plan previously).

I think it was definitely stolen in a warehouse at some point in processing and shipping. I don’t think it was stolen at the original Verizon warehouse, because they use brown tape, and the store associate told me that clear tape on the box indicates it was tampered with. The shipping box had clear tape, so I’m thinking maybe at some point in some UPS processing center, it was opened and stolen, then sealed back up.
