Other Apple.com /Apple Store app iPhone X/8/8 plus Pre-order and Dispatch thread

[Elyphant]

So we may see movement again tomorrow afternoon.

I just saw a bit of movement on my order ordered through Apple Store App and I'm on the IUP. They bumped me up a day earlier so far LOL.

 

[CjonesHouston]

4:30 Alaska. Cmon baby.

 

[jameslikeness]

Yeah so I had an upgrade on my line, so I did my pre order on the app with my att next upgrade got charged the same morning got the email for my next policy agreement everything seemed to go smooth, I noticed my order saying preparing to ship and it changed back to processing someone said it was normal but I started to feel like it wasn’t so I called and Apple told me there was a problem on atts end, called att said there was no problem and that it would ship the 2nd or 3rd then I noticed on Apple my order changed from the 3rd to the 17/24 bracket so I called Apple back they said the problem was fixed but that I need to talk to a supervisor and they would call me back, that’s all I know at this point. :/

Have you heard anything? I just noticed that mine suddenly dropped from Nov. 3 to the 17th-24th within the last hour. I bought mine through the Apple Store app on an AT&T Next plan. Wondering if I should try to get on the phone with Apple in the morning.

What flight are we watching now for the ones that got the 4:30pm anchorage departure scan?

NCR628 is our huckleberry - http://flightaware.com/live/flight/NCR628/history/20171031/2330Z/PANC/KSDF

 

[iphoneuser227]

Us 8:45ers are traveling along at 570mph right now!

Actually, no... it hasn't taken off yet, both on my tracker and on the link you sent. 570 is predicted speed. The plane is still on the ground in China

 

[no25]

Not true lol, I'm on the program and I'm in the time frame delivery for 16-24 :/

I’m sticking with my statement

 

[DocG1914]

It looks like Apple Store Upgrade Program people are getting preferential treatment

I’m not in the Upgrade Program

 

[CjonesHouston]

Apple pretty much said they are having trouble updating the tracking and that it will update when it's delivered. This is ridiculous. I don't even know if it shipped yet.

No this is Apple and UPS. Happens every year to many people. Some get scans Some don’t. High volume moving in a short time.

 

[DotCom2]

So much for those that told me we wouldn’t get a scan in AK...I know what I’m talking about. It’s a simple security measure to keep track of the cargo entering the US from a foreign country

Yeah, that’s what I was told too. I knew better though. So good to see in any event.

 

[jetydosa]

Lmao peel case. You might as well not get a case. Mine wore down within a week just in my pocket.

Ive been using a Peel for a year on my 7+, has been great. Not sure what you mean by "wore down", mine still looks new with the exception of some minor scuffs.

 

[no25]

I’m not in the Upgrade Program

Ah ok

 

[vtboyarc]

Actually, no... it hasn't taken off yet, both on my tracker and on the link you sent. 570 is predicted speed. The plane is still on the ground in China

Oh. Well crap. How do we know when it’s taken off then?

 

[DocG1914]

Yeah, that’s what I was told too. I knew better though. So good to see in any event.

Yea...I might just sit quiet in the corner and let people speculate. I’ve been dropping knowledge the whole thread but most don’t listen only a few

Ah ok

I just got lucky this year...every other release I’ve fallen in the 2-3 week group that gets bumped up to the weekend after launch

 

[iphoneuser227]

Oh. Well crap. How do we know when it’s taken off then?

The same link you posted will have a little diagram of the plane's location, as well as a timer that shows how long until it lands

How do you know what flight it is?

 

[Foo4Everlong]

Not sure if any of you guys have seen this buzzfeed news video about UPS and shipping on new iPhone/ Watch day but here it is!

 

[joro]

Departed Anchorage @ 4:30 PM - glad to be in the US now!

 

[SpenceMan01]

NC628 should be able to ride that tailwind most of the way across the US, nice route planning.

http://www.intellicast.com/National/Wind/JetStream.aspx

Yeah, looks that way. That explains why it's more South than normal. Usually they go nearly right over me.

You must of had the Jet Black iPhone. I had mine come a little earlier then Apple said.

 

[UserJalen]

Cross-referenced time of departure vs plane take off

 

[DocG1914]

Yup I remember you from that group. It’s a few of us in here now from that group. We all got Saturday deliveries. Miles was in that group with us too

 

[sniffies]

I don't get it

It says that the plane is supposed to depart from ZZ at 9:40PM EDT, but it's already 11:40PM EDT

 

[AppleFan91]

Yep. That’s the plane I’m on too I believe. Odd, especially because flightaware has it listed as “on time”

 

[anshuvorty]

Mine departed from Alaska at 4:30 also!

This now proves that all of us in the 1st wave aka NCR268 were tracking the correct flight! WE ARE ON NCR268! Awesome!

I'm sorry! I thought I was right and got cocky! You were right!

 

[harrypraneeth]

This has got to be one of the smoothest flight tracking a ever for an iPhone launch. It was a mess when there were ton of UPS flights about to depart to Louisville!
