Has anyone had any luck picking up their shipment at the Tempe, AZ customer center? My package has been sitting at destination scan since 3am and nothing has changed.



Any update yet? I'm probably in the same boat as you.

Just picked up. They did in fact call me.

 

[amyangel]

Yay just got here. Thanks again to everyone for the support and help when I had questions.

View attachment 731559 Just got “In My Area” on the tracker!

Now that (tracker) is cool!

 

[David4077]

Anyone who had "Preparing for Shipment" How long before that point did get to "shipped"? Im just wondering if it is pretty fast after "Preparing for Shipment"

Also how do you track by reference on UPS? I mean know where you have to go, but what numbers do you put in?

 

[DravenGSX]

I am now regretting not having set my delivery option to pick up at UPS CC.
Today's local delivery takes a bit longer than a usual day... it's 3:34 PM EDT

Me too.. 5:09 PM EDT here now, 39 minutes late and the truck is in the neighborhood across the street, seemingly stopping at every house.

You don’t have to unpair. If you use your old device to start the process it takes care of everything. Never been easier to upgrade.

They’ve definitely made it smoother. There was still an iOS version discrepancy (I was told the X would arrive with 11.1 by my local store. It didn’t, so I had to download it and install on the x before I could restore from backup), but it still went smoothly overall.

I’m really glad they fixed that horrible bug that would throw your camera roll pics all out of chronological order when restoring a backup. That used to be a big pain point for me.

😛We now go LIVE to iPhone X Mission control! iPhone X is preparing for launch as the iTunes backup and restore countdown. We now go down to the field and to Walter Cronkite 😛 with some comparison shots on the differences between the 7 Plus and X.
It feels great in the hand. Def a premium feel and gorgeous design. I almost hate to put a case on the beauty. Gonna go w the black case upper left. Spigen screen protectors def not cut precise to the notch.
Love launch day! How’s everyone else making out so far?

It's going great for me. After having this gem for a few hours, I can conclude that the iPhone X far exceeded my expectations. This is the BEST piece of Apple hardware I've owned so far! Apple never ceases to amaze! 🙂

 

[tasha511]

Well, I have been on the phone with Apple support for 1 hr and 39 minutes and it’s still not working.

 

[AJsAWiz]

I hate to be that person but the size feels perfect. Not too BIG (7 Plus) but not to SMALL (7). They nailed the size on this one. I would probably skip the X Plus if it ever becomes a reality.

I don't understand why people keep referring to an X plus in the future. Apple has always released the plus phones right along with the smaller one. I would think if that was their intention it would have been launched at the same time as the X. I, personally, think there will be no X plus. Just my humble opinion based on past releases.

Now to unpair apple watch, backup iPhone and then restore. Such a lengthy process. Oh and FaceID works surprisingly well even with my glasses on and I think it can detect when I look at it.

Hope it goes well for you. I'm, currently, having an issue with the Apple Watch pairing. I'm sure that it will all work out in the end though. 🙂

 

[Lucasdavidgray]

Finally!

 

[hface119]

FYI, I was able to activate via iTunes. I tried this the first time, but it never popped up in the iTunes window. It would just say "iPhone" on a white screen. Updated to the latest version of High Sierra, even though there were no iTunes related updates, and then it worked. Currently restoring from backup via iTunes... not looking forward to how much of a PITA getting my watch working again will be.

 

[sawah]

Took me two hours to get mine activated. But finally. Impressed definitely so far. Face ID is crazy!

 

[aLeXiiZ]

Tipo me sale arrival scan a las 8:40am

El mio tambien pero de seguro no va a llegar hoy. Ellos no hacen deliveries los sabados ni tampoco dejan que uno lo busque... asi que esperemos que el lunes lo tengamos en nuestras manos.

I got mine setup with no issues. Sorry you’re having a tough time.

 

[itcrashed]

iPhone X picked up from UPS CC! It's been real on this thread guys and gals! See you next year on the next one!

 

[Damstr]

Well got my X around 230 EST today and got through the activation issue about an hour ago. Really loving this phone so far coming from a 7 Plus.

Same here I am on that batch of 17-24 moves to the November 6 delivery. Saw it went to Seoul long time ago about 7:30 this morning arrival scan. Nothing since but I found a plane that left there for Anchorage (UPS) about 2-3 hours later. UPS99 / 5X99

I have the same tracking as you. Mine just landed in Anchorage. Waiting for what it will do next. Go to Louisville or Ontario?

 

[thearh]

I am kinda in love with this phone....

 

[SpectreOfDeath]

Yeah.... we are screwed by UPS! There is no UPS flight out of ICN on Saturday and they only seem to fly to Sunday-Friday. So, it looks like UPS lied to us when it said "Delivers Mon Nov 3". Can't see how it's going to get from ICN to our cities in 24 hours if it leaves ICN on Sunday night.

But, I guess getting hosed by UPS for a couple of days is still better than "Delivers Nov 17-24" Still sucks though.... got all excited about Monday 🙁

Check your tracking now. I was in the same boat as you and it just showed up in Anchorage. Note that mine originally showed a departure time of 1:17AM and now has been updated with one at 10:07 PM....no clue how it departed 2 times?!!

 

[kjgnola]

For everyone that has delivery dates next week and beyond, I highly recommend picking up at the CC. I was a little stressed about changed it, but it worked flawlessly. Not much of a line and definitely none of the stress of waiting for the driver. Doors opened at 8am here and I walked out by 8:20 with my phone.

Currently restoring from backup via iTunes... not looking forward to how much of a PITA getting my watch working again will be.

I thought that part would be a pain but it actually wasn’t, a screen popped up and asked if I wanted to transfer my watch to the new iPhone and I said yes. Very seamless way Apple has made it to jump from one iPhone to another with n Apple Watch. I was impressed. I didn’t have to unpair or anything it did it on its own. Best of luck!

 

[markthrash]

I feel like my UPS driver is drunk. But I know it’ll be worth it when I finally get it, which should be soon. But damn, this driver has been driving the most weirdest route I’ve seen...like I’m tired for him!

 

[SackboyDad]

However I believe as is typical they skipped because UPS servers are busy on this launch day or it happens sometimes, and our phones are really on that flight I and others found. So We will probably soon see if it is right as something may show up after it arrives (UPS99) in Anchorage in hour

this is flight a bunch of us Korea stop over phones found: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99/history/20171103/1325Z/RKSI/PANC

Nope... We are screwed :-( UPS99 landed at ANC 12:30AKDT, still says it's sitting at ICN. Darn!!!!!

 

[CodeSpyder]

Am I still trolling now that it's on the news?

""$370,000 worth of iPhone X devices were stolen from a UPS truck"

https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/3/16601970/iphone-x-devices-stolen-apple-store-san-francisco

I saw that. It was a truck going to an Apple store in San Francisco. But it wasn’t a pallet of iPhones on the plane.

 

[Iphone6crazy]

Well the phone arrived I am doing the updates as we speak and then a restore...face id was simple to setup and is very reactive! The phone activation thru ATT went lighting fast for me. Good luck to the rest of you that have not received yours yet...its always a blast and slightly stressing but in a good way watching the phones make it into our hands.
