I live in CA, so I am assuming that if my phone is coming on Fri as is stated, then it has to fly out of SDF to get here on time...I don't think Ground can cover the journey from SDF to CA in 1.5 days...I could be wrong. Please let me know if my assumption is incorrect.
Exactly. Last year I was glued to the iPhone 7+ threads but this year, people calling Apple/UPS because there's no updated tracking information to go along with their 11/3 delivery date is absurd.
If Apple says you're getting the phone on Friday, you're getting it on Friday. RELAX. It is absolutely ridiculous if you are calling UPS/Apple to inquire about the status of their FLIGHTS as they are in the air.
I didn’t say West Coast would go by truck. I said many will leave by truck, not all.
You’re not wrong.
That’s to far by truck it’ll be by plane. Only places that should be going by truck should be my state (Indiana) and the other states surrounding Kentucky lol..
I thought the same thing a few years back, but I think all of our phones go though Louisville first then fly to Ontario. I wish I still had my old tracks to back that up.
Yep, I am about five hours away, and 99% of my packages leave Louisville on a truck.
Think of all those tortured souls who don't know about these forums or flight aware and are still wondering why they don't have a tracking number from Apple when their phones are due in two days!!! They must be calling Apple every day!
Thank you!! So I'm not crazy for thinking all these people wasting UPS/Apple customer service rep's time is absurd?
I don't understand why people are so skeptical about Apple's promised delivery date. If they say it will be there on 11/3, why does "official" tracking even matter? Once the phones are stateside, statuses will begin to change as devices begin to ship individually from WorldPort, and Apple will also provide you with your tracking number at that point in time.
I live in Palm Desert, CA and mine have always come into Ontario, Calif.
Could be. But why haven't we gotten a Louisville scan? And a customs release at the least.
I don't know why there are no customs scan yet in KY. It arrived more than 8 hours ago.
After looking further into it, I think this is the best chance of being ours. Guessing they are behind on updating the scans.

Actually.... I wonder about that... knowing the tracking may be more stressful than just waiting for the app to send you an update. For one thing you’d only be tracking the phone for a couple of days once Apple told you it was “shipped”.
My bet is Apple will provide tracking a week after it has already been delivered to be on the safe side.
I think everybody needs to chill out with the Delivery Dates.
I've been calm about it too. Been checking out cases & wireless charging. Also been looking out for good AR apps which is going to be something great to use on iPhone X. Check out Apple videos of how to click good photos (they have the tutorials on their YouTube channel).
There are tons of things about iPhone X than simply waiting for it

If you think about it, they could hold off moving these phones until friday at dawn.... if they really wanted to. There are at least 3 UPS flights from the world port to the sunport between now and then... maybe they are just holding off so they don’t spend so much time at a regional office where things could happen to them... or they could be delivered early by mistake.
Thinking about picking my phone up at Local Hub in Central CA, It says I can pick up between 8-10 AM and 4-6 PM. It says that it must be ready in order to pick up has anyone had problems getting at their hub first thing in the morning to pick up phone?
