Hi Janet, You don’t even have to go to an Apple Store to get your new iPhone activated. You can call you’re carrier and they can activated for you. All they need is your IMEI number from your new iPhone. You can find this number under Settings > General > About. Swipe until you come to IMEI. Since it’s a new iPhone most likely you will se IMEI 1 and IMEI 2, because you can have two phone numbers on one phone if you wanted.
I would write down the IMEI number somewhere where you can easily retrieve it and then call your carrier. I’ve done this many times for my clients and my daughters. Hope that helps!

Hi Mark and All, Mark, did the Apple Store or did you install your Sem card yourself? I am wanting to buy a new phone, but I am not sure if Apple still installs the Sem cards, or do I need to go to my phone carrier to have them to install the Sem card. I don’t really want to take the chance and try to install that tiny Sem card myself.

Hello All, I was near one of my local Apple Stores, yesterday, so decided to stop in to see if they had the phone I’ve been waiting for. Lo and behold, they did. I am now the proud owner of an iPhone 16 Pro Max, 1TB, black on black on black on black, of course. I think I set a personal purchasing record, yesterday. We actually timed it, although trying to beat some kind of record was certainly not my goal. Okay, the entire purchase process from the time when we actually stepped into the store, located a sales person, had all of the items brought out including a screen protector, case, and a couple of cables, have the screen protector installed on the phone, used Apple Pay to buy the items, have a receipt both emailed to me and also have a hardcopy of the receipt printed, have everything placed in a bag, and exit, the store took, get ready for it, 4 minutes and 58 seconds. Insane, right???? And, I might add, it was one of the most pleasant Apple experiences I’ve ever had. The sales person was absolutely the best. And, in no way was the store empty of customers; in fact it was comfortably full of customers. As we crossed the threshold of the store, back into the mall, an also exiting customer said to me, “I’ve never seen anything like that; man but that was fast.” Of course I greeted him and smiled. He then asked, “Are you some kind of professional buyer?” To which I replied, “No. Just a man who knows what he wants and how to ask for it.” Be both laughed and went our separate ways.
