Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

[iApplereviews]

I watch my ring camera like a hawk when I know I have a UPS delivery. This year I have the $40 UPS Premium membership free (thanks to T-Mobile Tuesday) until the end of the year so I’m going to pick a 2 hour window for my iPhone delivery.

FedEx has been to lazy to walk up my front porch steps to put the package at the door much less ring the doorbell and that was long before COVID. I'm lucky if they put it far enough up to keep it out of the rain.

What time was your email notification of your order? Mine was at XX:12 Says the 23rd - nothing on UPS. It might be helpful if we all put the times of our order on posts concerning shipment.

:04. 128 Pac blue SIM free

Yeah but has nothing to do with Apple. There is defiantly going to be a large amount of people opting for delivery rather than going to a crowded store and possibly waiting in line this time around.

There are no crowded stores or lines. Guess you haven’t gone to a store since COVID. But hey, thank you all for opting for delivery.

One thing I question is the Leather wallet and Apple Card. When I got my Apple Card it specifically said that leather will discolor and affect the titanium over time. But then Apple comes out with a leather wallet and shows the Apple Card going in it?

I have been and sure they weren't as busy. But you don't think on an iPhone release they would be a bit more crowded?

So I checked with apple to see if I could change my graphite to pacific blue. No dice. So I guess I’ll live. But that blue looks so good. Oh well. Maybe they have blue in 4 years again

What made you want to change it?

Tech reviewers will get theirs on Tuesday from apple themselves .

Hopefully the YouTubers have a few of them bad boys blue iPhone 12s

an update: phone was still processing so I called my bank to see if anything was wrong on their end. turns out somehow the ccv in Apple Pay was wrong and it wouldn't go through. they told me I would have to remove and re-add the card which means I would have to place a new order. called apple, switched the payment method, and we're back on track for delivery next week!

tl;dr -- if your phone is still processing, something may be wrong!! call your bank and apple to see if there's anything they can help with!

The thing that threw me is that the SIM Free model was available at launch. I would guess that supply was better than expected. When I bought the X, the SIM free wasn't available for at least a month, though the 8 was available at preorder.

That’s good news because I’m buying a SIM-free 12 Pro Max when it go live for preordering.

No unfortunately it is bloody rocket science; under Apple's idiot online/offline differing systems.

It's using their pre-agreed online 24mth finance. And anyway, there's this small thing called Covid tier 2, causing chaos in London town on top!

Sorry for your iPhone arrival date. Also Sorry for Covid spreading in Europe. Our daughter lives in the NL and I worry about them. I follow news in Europe and hope things improve there and that you get your iPhone sooner than stated since you’re trapped at home. I never leave my house in California either so I am excited to receive my 12 Pro Max new toy in November. Good luck with your iPhone and good luck with Covid Tier Two in the UK

I used the wrong card on my first order and did a second one with the correct card. I got an email in 30 minutes saying the payment couldn't be processed. Pretty sure if there was an issue you would know by now Apple has already put holds on all the orders placed Friday.

If you are seeing Wednesday and Tuesday, that is when the phone reaches the USA. Then it will be handed to the usa carriers who will ship out Thursday overnight to get it Friday. Tech reviewers will get theirs on Tuesday from apple themselves .

If it is anything like the Apple Watch was, they may already have their units. At least the big name players anyways. They are probably still embargoed until Tuesday or wednesday.

 

[rdillon2008]

These aren't carrier orders these are orders directly from Apple. That is not the case. If it was being shipped to the carrier you wouldn't see the tracking for it.

Couriers* my mistake

Still incorrect. It's being shipped UPS from China to your door. The tracking is your tracking its not tracking from china to the USA it's for the whole way. Believe me done this for years.

Quite possible they aren't having UPS hold them this year

That is good to know. I am interested to hear the reviewer’s thoughts.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Anyone find any new scans????

I have a thing for not watching to many videos or opening my cases when they get here before the phone. Just feel like it takes away excitement for launch day. So I save it all for Friday.

From my past experiences using Apple Pay a few times my orders wouldn’t process with Apple Pay but I used the same physical card and had success. This year, I’m going to call my bank and let them know I will have a $1500 purchase and to not deny it. I’m not using that card in Apple Pay.

I've had that as well not online through. Some stores if I try to use Apple Pay with my debit card it declines. Apple Pay will work with my credit cards and the physical debit card works fine.

Not yet probably going to be a bit before we see the next round as its Sunday morning over there.

 

[RocketFast]

Do they ship on the 23rd or will it arrive on the 23rd? I mean if they ship on friday it will not arrive until monday or Tuesday ?

 

[nowayout203]

The latter.

No not yet. Been checking every hour.
