Yeah mine stuck in China for 2 days too. Hopefully it moves forward today

Hey everyone! I know you're all busy tracking your phones now.
I wanted to let you all know that my journey has come to an end. My phone was delivered this evening, and I've been busy setting it up since. All I can say is that Jet Black is gorgeous! The phone truly looks like one solid piece... it's hard to tell where glass ends and the aluminum back begins. I also love the new home "button". You will not be disappointed when you get yours. We all made a fantastic choice, as this was the colour to get!
For those of you with mid-October to November dates: if you can continue to bear with Apple, you will not regret it. Jet Black has the "wow factor" you just won't get with any other colour!
What an experience this has been, to say the least. I certainly did not expect to become this involved in a thread. Yet here we are! I enjoyed every moment spent here, cuz I don't know too many people IRL who are crazy about getting the newest iPhone every year!
Good luck to everyone! Cheers, until we meet again!

Yes, finally tomorrow! Departed Alaska, being very humble at this point. I'll cheer When I see it out for delivery tomorrow once it leaves Newark Int'l. It seems the tracking is finally catching up.

Cool bro! Congrats! Enjoy, and thanks for hanging in with us. Have fun!
[doublepost=1474501510][/doublepost]Any east coasters still out here waiting for theirs? Or if you received yours on this side, where was the next stop? Kentucky, or Pennsylvania?

Well I hope I can alleviate some stress for everyone, as I found a live video feed of the main UPS shipping centers in China and Korea:

I laughed harder than I probably should've, but what the hell, after all this, why not.
Mine was delivered an hour ago! I also got a case of Surge, Ranch Fritos, and a new Apple Watch band delivered from Amazon today. Just got home from a pretty relaxed day at work and I'm about to enjoy it all. Today is a happy day. A very happy day.
Congrats to those who received theirs today
I forget, are you going with a case or naked? If so, which case and would you mind posting a pic? Cheers!

So I have everything ready for when my 7+ JB arrives, I bought a couple of these, and after opening them, they come with a protector for the back of the JB iPhone. Thought that was a neat little gesture. I actually was trying to find something to also accommodate the clear case for it, now I'm set. They were on Amazon for about $9.00, last week. Just in case anyone was still looking.

I think we will see in arrival scan in Kentucky sometime At one in the morning or two in the morning
[doublepost=1474502931][/doublepost]
I really think you need to wait to you wake up in the morning and see if there's a local scan or at least a Louisville scan. I don't think we can safely say we're not gonna get it tomorrow until those planes land in Louisville. don't give up hope

Case. I'll be using the Ocean Blue silicone one from Apple. Do you still want pics of that?

Hahaha! Got a good laugh from that!
Interestingly enough, the boxes they're sent in are really light but bulky. I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened!

My phone just departed Anchorage at 3:04pm. It was in the batch that routed through Hong Kong after erroneously saying it was scanned into Louisville KY. That was so disheartening, but now it should be delivered tomorrow. Finally!
This is off topic, but here is an Easter Egg tip to make your home screen completely black, including the dock and the folders. I like the effect and thought this might help those of us anxiously waiting for our phones. The photo shows how it looks.

(Sorry, the stock plastic sheet is still on cuz I haven't gotten around to putting the screen protector on yet.)
