Well that depends. On Apple it says “via next day delivery”. On fedex it says “fedex ground”. My Juliet is roughly Nashville though, and I’m in Memphis, so it could be next day via ground because it’s so close.
I have absolutely zero expectations of a weekend delivery, I’m just wondering if it will ship out this weekend and show up Monday as indicated on fedex or if it will actually be Tuesday as indicated by Apple.
Also something that gives me a little hope for Monday: on fedex the actual time stamp for the “shipping label received” is around noon today. So it might already be in motion.

Its much faster coming from a 7+ too!

I just placed my order today with AT&T for an iPhone 8 Plus 256GB Space Gray and shipping is Oct 6th to 13th. I shouldn't have waited. I have been check Apple website and their orders are still shipping 1 to 3 days. I placed my order with AT&T because you can get 30 months of interest free payments.
I hate AT&T.
Do you have to go through this activation crap if you buy an unlocked phone, and just swap your sim?

Unfortunately, yes you do... you have to activate the device on the AT&T network...
my 8 feels just like my 7 but i can charge it wirelessly if i take the metal credit card out of my wallet phone case

You can get the same financing for AT&T if you order through Apple. I do it every year. Trust me, I learned my lesson ordering through AT&T. Apple is always faster.I just placed my order today with AT&T for an iPhone 8 Plus 256GB Space Gray and shipping is Oct 6th to 13th. I shouldn't have waited.

Anyone commenting here should see 8+ gold... it's great... and I have another line to upgrade.. so X here I come '
It was little strange, about 2 minutes after I activated the new phone. I get a call - from some unknown number - Nothing all that new really, been getting hit with these annoying robo calls now
BOTH 6+ and 8+ phones rang, even though my iPhone 6+ said "No Service" I guess it does take time for these to fully br removed from the network.

That could be a continuity/handoff thing ... do you have an email address set up for FaceTime calls?
From the RECENTS tab in the phone app, just tap the little (i) to the right of the number, and tap BLOCK THIS CALLER. It really is quick and easy.
Just got off the phone with UPS (again). It's official my iPhone is lost, and an investigation has been opened. So, no iPhone 8+ for me.

Sorry, man... nothing more disappointing that a lost shipment on iPhone release day.
Yeah you're right. On the new iPhone 8+ the Phone setting "Calls on Other Devices" also had my deactivated iPhone 6+ triggered to on. I disabled that. I totally forgot about that setting. I was getting other calls through FaceTime also. So annoying.
The Block Calling feature is awesome, it just never stops though and my block list grows bigger every day!
I NEVER give out this number, but these low lifes have ways to find any number and spam you!

Yeah, I am on chat with Apple now. Seeing if I can come up with a remedy
Looks like I’m set for Monday.
Wow. Mine still says preparing for shipment. And I ordered Friday at 9:48am. Lol. I’m happy for you! Hopefully mine changes today sometime and I get mine Monday too. A little bummed mine is shipping after people who ordered later than I did. Haha. But oh well. I get to anticipate longer and that’s over half the fun right?
I created an entry in my contacts called ZZspam and put all the blocked calls in there... I have over 70 numbers there... so freaking annoying (almost as annoying as your animated GIF!
)... as far as how they get your number... the robo calls just start dialing (215) 111-0000, (215) 111-0001 and go through the entire list of phone numbers... with robo calling software, it's a snap... and we get annoyed beyond measure.

I had an online pbx box get hacked years ago and I just happened to see it happen the moment it was hacked. They loaded my account with $10,000 credit via stolen credit cards and instantly started making thousands of calls a second. They burned through the $10k calling credit in 5 minutes and instantly the account went negative before I could lock it out. Come to find out the entire service got hacked not just my account. Company shut down soon after that. Lol
Edit: but yeah that’s exactly what they do 0000, 0001. Lol
