Search, on UPS’ website, under Tracking, using either your phone number, or your Apple “W” order Number without the last two digits. Yours is probably in the same situation.

Nothing is coming up. What does that mean? Apple isn't really giving me too much info either..

Yeah I linked the wrong one. I’m in the North East.

Have you seen them go through Chicago before? Guess I’ll know when it leaves if my trackin updates.

Any battery improvements? I’ve heard there were and I’m in desperate need! I didn’t do 11.0.3 on purpose cause I heard there were nightmare battery stories.

My battery life greatly improved on the 7 plus after 11.1, but after beta 5 I started seeing some instability with AR and location glitches in a couple apps. 11.1 official release seems to have cleared that up now.

Anybody else’s still sitting ZZ? Mines been there since 10/30/17 1:35AM and hasn’t moved Still has a delivery date of Friday tho!

Yep! Mine still shows 10/30 1:35AM arrival in ZhengZhou CN as the most recent scan. Delivery still says 11/3 so I’m not too worried.

For what it’s worth, I was one of the many T-Mobile folks who ordered from Apple and had their delivery dates pushed up from 11/10-11/17 to 11/3.

Same - also T-Mobile pushed up to 11/3 which is why I am not worried. There is enough consistency with the time and scans of "groups" to indicate it's all good. If I saw a bunch with the same info shipped and mine was not I would be a bit concerned. Seems all is good...

Here's another launch day story, but it's not a horror story.

We were on the Verizon network, but I let our contract run out to a month-to-month situation because I wanted the new iPhone and it was on the AT&T network. We're talking the original iPhone. So launch days comes and it's a Friday and I don't do anything to try to get the iPhone. Then, the next day, I call the Columbia, MD Apple Store out of curiosity. I get an employee and say, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but I am curious. How many people are in line for the iPhone?" The Apple store employee replied, "Oh, there are no lines." I said, "No lines? Well, do you have any iPhones?" He replied, "Oh yes, we have iPhones." I said, "Thank you very much." Then I got into my car and made beeline to the Apple Store to buy the first iPhone."

iPhone 5S
Launch day horror story:
In line at the Apple store at my local mall-we were allowed in at 6am when everything else was closed to be given tickets to come back and buy the phones. We arrive to see Apple fans on one side (to the right looking at the front) of the store in lawn chairs/waiting around. The Chinese scalpers were on the left side making their own line. The Apple store employees chose the other side as the side for the line and the scalpers were pushing shoving and in general almost got us ALL tossed out.
I was doing a mid contract upgrade (remember those?) $200 off retail where i’d buy an iPhone 5S outright and then immediately sell my recently replaced thru AppleCare “perfect” device to gamestop for something on the order of $400. But I only had the $ to make it work for 32GB models.

When we got our tickets to buy the phones, all that was left because of the scalpers was 64GB Spade Grey’s so I grabbed my two tickets and had each person in line with me grab theirs (total of 6 phones) I went up to the scalper leader and basically said “LOOK MORE EXPENSIVE PHONE! YOU MAKE MORE MONEY! Trade for two 32GB tickets”
He did the deal, with my reduced upgrade and my sale to gamestop. I wound up paying $150 each for the 32GB models instead of the $199 they would’ve been on contract.

Thank goodness they’re available in China on launch now and we have the Apple store app. I’d be going to jail if I had to go thru that again in the line!

I’d say 75-90% go thru WorldPort in SDF and the rest probably go ANC-ONT

Is that the South Shore Plaza? I was there for the 6/6+ launch and it was absolute insanity.

The iPhone 5S the best I remember didn’t have a preorder? I think I remember standing in line for that one.
