I think it is funny that my iPhone X has traveled half way around, yet Apple still has it as "Preparing to Ship"

So my plane hasn’t left yet from Zhengzhou?

Your iPhone will be loaded onto the following flight #:

Apparently my phone was on the 8:45 AM departure which everyone says is this flight?

This flight hasn't moved at all and we are way past the scheduled departure and somewhat past the scheduled arrival

hmmmm.....

Flight has been delayed. Scheduled to depart at 5:45AM CST Thursday Chinese Local time.
 
UPDATE for people NOT in the 1st wave. I spoke to an Apple Rep just to see if they knew which orders were getting moved up. Now granted, I know we all know that you can't take reps and what they say to be true all the time but, he said there was a lot of movement of people who were cancelling orders in the first and second waves. First wave is Nov 3-10 (basically launch day), and he say second wave going out is 17-24 people. He said a lot of first wave people cancelled, moving up some second wave people. And a lot of second wave people cancelled, moving up a lot of December people. So us second wave people are in a hefty group I think but, he did assure me that apple usually does send out pretty quickly compared to the suggested dates so the second wave group 17-24 people have a good chance of being shipped out next week.

did their mommies get their cc bill? :p

I don't think so. I think they go to Louisville for this as the only hub in the states and then ship out from there with lots of flights!

i love seeing the burst of little yellow-green planes on the blue map!

Looks like it's more than ready to be delivered on Nov 3.

I have gone through so many videos on YouTube about iPhone X recent videos of reviews & unboxing and it does look like the future of the smartphone. I think the most exciting time would be when developers will make more apps relating to the new features using TruDepth Sense Camera, Augmented Reality, A11 Bionic high graphics capable apps & games etc. It's going to be really a new era of iOS all together.

Really when people say iPhone X is just like iPhone 6/7/8, I just fail to understand. What are those features that those people are looking for in a smartphone?

Same with me, departed Anchorage at 4:30PM.
 
Waiting for the Louisville scan(s), then truck to CACH - Hodgkins, IL., then to my local UPS Customer Center.
 
I am picking up in store. And the apple store still says processing. Not shipped or anything. Frustrating. But from reading it sounds like this is typical. At least others are able to track their orders. Hoping mine is on one of the planes that landed.

Edit: also my credit card has a pending charge for tax. It’s been like that since Sunday. I have also not been charged my first installment payment.

Store pickups are handled differently. Your status will change when Apple sends you an email saying it is ready to be picked up.

I believe mine would make another stop at KY then come to Hawaii?
Correct.

I still can't believe that Apple hasn't updated their shipping. I've a feeling some of us may be delayed.
It will change today or tomorrow for those with Friday delivery dates.
 
We have movement.
