In this video, I’ll show you how to prepare properly before upgrading your iPhone, whether you’re going to Apple, your carrier, or setting it up at home. 🔹 Carrier Checklist • Know your carrier login (username + password) • Make sure your phone is eligible to upgrade (paid off / enough bill credits) • Check if your carrier uses a PIN or Extra Security for account changes • Understand any trade-in or contract requirements 🔹 Apple Checklist • Know your Apple ID + password • Make sure you have a recent iCloud backup • (Optional but recommended) Use iCloud storage to make setup faster • Consider activating your new iPhone at home, then bring back the old phone for trade-in ⏳ Time-Saving Tip: Don’t walk into the store 30 minutes before closing—upgrades can take 90 minutes to 2 hours (maybe more). ☁️ FREE Temporary iCloud Backup Space: https://support.apple.com/en-us/104980 Did I miss anything?
