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

[SwiftLives]

I ordered my iPhone 12 Pro (PB 256GB) on 10/16 at like 9:30am. I somehow still missed the first shipment.

The good news is that mine appears to be on the 5:46am flight. UPS says it will deliver 10/28 before 9pm.

Apple's page still says it's arriving Friday 10/30.

Now that this has cleared China customs, will it have to go through US customs, too?

Yes, at Anchorage, but it’s usually very quick.

We are riding together!

Some folks on here are so sharp and clever they can figure out the possible flights on "flight finder" I do no possess those skills or patience. It's too much for my little heart to take.

I found The flight on Flightaware after clearing what I had filtered to UPS.

Mine is showing delivery on Wednesday. I’m in northwest Indiana.

 

[judyg951]

I ordered on the 17th. UPS says the phone will be delivered on the 29th, yet UPS shows it arriving between the 30-4th.

 

[Frehley]

It is so cool to watch your excitment about your new iPhone!

I went through this on the release date...the waiting for the shipping notifications, the custom scans, the seemingly not any movement with your shipment tracking.

Good luck and I hope that you receive your iPhone soon!

 

[judyg951]

This phone is for my husband. I'll be ordering my ProMax on Friday.

 

[naturalstar]

I am steadfastly going to order the Gold as always. The Gold Pro Max will look great in my Case-Mate Ombré Twinkle Gold Case too. Any color of gold is better than any other color for me!

Oh, I bought this Case Mate case for my incoming Pro Max. The gems are in between the shell walls so there's nothing to scratch or fall off. It looks prettier in person. This probably won't go as well with the Gold, but I'm thinking it will add some pop to the PB.

The second pic isn't in the best light, but the 3rd case is the case.

Lots of inbound ANC to SDF flights, I'm sure some of us are on one of those. If tracking is right I'm on the Cargolux 9781. looking at the outbound flights I only see two after the 9:25pm landing time. Only one of those planes is a 747. I'm in the Chicago Subs and I'm going to guess a Wed. 28th delivery for mine.

When requesting a hold for pick up at UPS CC it does not delay. However requesting to be picked up at the UPS Store "May" delay.

So if I'm going to do this (my husband just made dinner plans for us on the 28th and if that sucker doesn't come he will disown me for caring too much about the phone delivery over dinner) when should I request hold for pick up? Now? Wait until it gets to the U.S.? I'm so nervous but since my husband made plans it's the smartest thing to do so I don't stalk UPS all day...

 

[kuietstorm]

Ooh I need to see the red in more pics. I’m happy with my blue but I think red would have been on my shortlist.

 

[kuietstorm]

Nice to see you’re still here. I wish I’d been in the launch day group like I was in the AW6 group. Still waiting for my ZengZou departure scan.

Well, we missed you @Scubamom.

There may also be PANC to SDF flights at 11:46 pm, 12:35 am, and 2:44 am. Hopefully, we’ll make one of them, if not the earlier ones.

I requested mine immediately after I checked my tracking and while it was still in Zhengzhou. You can request it at anytime. But definitely before it reaches your destination scan. Also have you heard about "Will Call"? Sometimes you can contact your UPS CC and explain your situation and place a "Will Call" and that happens is then you can pick it up anytime, even after it closes. Like my UPS CC, pick up time is from 4-6 pm but realistically you can pick it up as late as 8:30 pm if it's a "Will Call".

I'm on the 5:46 crew, but UPS is still telling me I'll get delivery in Central Florida tomorrow. I don't think so...

You should get it. UPS updated the estimated delivery times when that flight departed. If it weren’t possible it would have given you a later date.

 

[cradavis]

hLooking ahead, for those of us on CargoLux 9781, there are flights from PANC to Louisville at 11:12 pm and 11:28 PM. 9781 arrives at 9:25 PM, so we might make one or the other of those! If this goes as my AW6 did, I will get delivery in the Twin Cities, Minnesota tomorrow! There are also flights all night — 11:46 pm, 12:35 AM. Until tracking AW6’s route, I had no idea there were so many UPS flights between Anchorage and Louisville. Amazing!

Wow you’re giving me hope! I’m in the Twin Cities too!

 

[CarolG]

Thank you. I wasn’t sure if I had to initiate a separate download of photos to my iPhone. 😀

Wow! Those are amazing. I have debated about that Case-Mate case with the jewels inside. I like that it is a smooth case on the outside. I think I have to have that one too. I think the jewels will look great with the Gold iPhone! I ordered the Twinkle Confetti too but I think I’m going to return that one and keep the one on the right above and the Ombre Twinkle Gold.

 

[CarolG]

Well, we missed you @Scubamom.

Did you receive your Red Braided Solo Loop today? I did and I love it.

 

[ksujoel]

I am loving the 12 Pro. How about you?

I'm really loving it! I love how the phone feels without a case, but I still go with a case, while out and about, to keep it from getting scratched. The phone seems more responsive than my 11 Pro, if that's even possible. Very happy with it! On another note, the Verizon coverage map says that there is partial 5G in my town, but I haven't seen it pop up. The closest town that has 5G is about 40 minutes away - which I do frequent often. I was there yesterday and ran some speed tests and was disappointed to see the speeds only equal LTE speeds. Bear in mind, I only tested a couple of times and it could have been faster in other areas. I seem to be getting faster LTE speeds in my area, though! Not a big deal and I'm sure it will get better as time goes on.

Love to see folks still tracking phones! There's a part of me that wishes I was pre-ordering again already! LOL

Part of me will be glad when it’s over. Then again, I’ll be doing it again maybe for the HomePod mini.

I am thinking of the HomePod Mini, but I can't get over that it's not "portable"

This is me also....UPS says it will deliver to my home in Leesburg tomorrow...I sure hope so!

This has been such a wild ride but y'all have made it bearable and easier. I'm so glad I decided to join the forums, finally.

Also I'll be glad when it's over.

Are you going to pick up at a UPS Customer Center or have the UPS person deliver it?

I requested mine immediately after I checked my tracking and while it was still in Zhengzhou. You can request it at anytime. But definitely before it reaches your destination scan.

@Shadowbech Wait, wait... wait.... I just realized the package name is under my husband's name. Will this be a problem? (my husband's name is on there because he has the Verizon account that I processed the order on) will he have to go with me? Damn. I'd better call UPS tomorrow. I hope waiting until tomorrow won't be a problem.
