Yes, it does appear so.
[doublepost=1509490618][/doublepost]Also, since UPS is showing this as a straight through to SDF, we may not see a scan in ANC.
I'm not sure if the delivery is going to make it before 2:15, it depends on your location. However, I've seen UPS delivery drivers running very late on an iPhone launch day.
The better option is if you signed up for UPS MyChoice you can hold you package at your nearest UPS CC Hub and pick it up first thing in the morning.
I changed mine to be held at one of the UPS Access Points, and it looks like it will still be delivered on time. Only reason I chose the Access Point is they're 24 hours
There are times over the oceans when they’re out of coverage and can’t be tracked for a period. Flightradar24 also had no destination for that flight.Can't find NCR628 on flightradar24.com, although it was showing up earlier this morning...hmm...
It shows up on flightaware.com however...
Does anyone think this is the next shippment out of China? YZR7489 / Y87489

Correction. That was the second leg that goes to Chicago
This is out of China to Alaska

My usual delivery from UPS at home is about 5:30pm... On iPhone day... it's been as late as 8pm.
The last and final leg of this long journey is much shorter than the previous one - only 5h and 5min! ETA: 12:45AM EST.

could this be the flight for those who have a 1:35 time?

Idk if this is it or not. It's going on to Chicago afterward. Do the iPhone shipments to the US only go through the Kentucky hub?

just saw you posted right before me - this is my best guess! fingers crossed!
They seem to... from there they go to other hubs... Like Ontario out here in California.
I'm not sure about the next flight. My friend has already gone home. But the Yangtze River Express Airlines flight seems to be a regular flight and the one that we tracked today was a special flight. So we may see similar flights for the next few days handling the launch.
I'll check with her again in the morning.
I hope so.
I'm an odd one out. I'm not in the 1:35 group, or the other one I think 12:37. My final scan has arrived 10/30 7:50PM in ZhengZhou. No one else says that have that. I do have a 11/3 date though
I have a 11/3 date but i havent even gotten any shipping notifications. It's been in preparing for shipment for 2 days now.
Anybody have any launch day horror stories? I have a few. Here's one involving iPad.
I'm an iOS developer and modified my app to use the iPad. This before the iPad became available to buy. I wanted to get an iPad badly, but I wanted cellular with it. I'm on the AT&T network. So, I get to Columbia Mall like 3 or 4 am. I get in line and wait. There were a bunch of people ahead of me. Finally, the Mall opens and the line starts to move. The line moves into the mall from the parking garage and winds its way around here and there until it gets to the Apple Store. I'm waiting for the AT&T Wifi + Cellular iPad. I slowly make my way up and finally, I am the next person to go into the store; I do not lie. Just then, an Apple employee comes out of the Apple store and yells out, "We're all out of AT&T iPads!" I thought, "Damn!" Then they let me in. I thought as long as I am here, I may as well buy an iPad, so I bought the Wifi only iPad. After a day of it, I took it back as I wanted the cellular version.

Thanks for the credit Fischersd
I’ve been catching up here since I got home and I keep reading the “late to the plane” folks’ posts and wanting to scream CHECK UPTHREAD! Since a bunch of us have done a bit of sleuth work to get things figured lol. Just waiting for the next batch.
