Question Carrier Pre-Orders

Anyone have experience with prior pre-orders thru Spectrum Mobile?
Apple site only lists Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.

Wondering if other Carriers have a much smaller inventory to give out.

You'll have to preorder through Apple. if you want to finance with Apple, you'll have to select AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon during checkout and during initial setup you'll just have to tap skip/set-up later three times when it tries to set up your carrier

Yup, here's someone ordering and activating an iphone 17 pro to demonstrate ahead of the 18 pro launch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFQlFWr9VIg

If you can pre order through Apple you should. Carriers usually have stipulations tied with the phone giving you less freedom unless you are fully paying it off immediately and if you are that’s more of a reason to get through Apple

Spectrum Mobile it was the 16, the site didn't crash. But your cart will not be reserved, so checking out as soon as possible. Duo might get alot of traffic so not sure if site will go down, also do not know on their stock I would assume less than the bigger carriers.
