Doesn’t feel fast for me still waiting for my iPhone 12 Pro preorder. Lol

That said next week I’ll be preordering the GF a new 12 Pro Max since that’s the one she wanted.

Are you sure you want to go to pre-order out? Make sure to pick up in store! Or get it on the day it comes out.

I wonder if these will be in much higher demand compared to the 12/12 pros. 🤔
 
I still want to know why our shipping is slower and went through Hong Kong and the ones who got theirs last week didn’t.
 
Was able to sell my 11 Pro Max for $700 and I was able to keep the power brick. Now I wait patiently with this tiny iPhone 12 Pro until I can get the 12 Pro Max.

I would advise to do both, the last thing you want to happen is the morning of they don't have the color/size in stock.
 
Glad I ordered one for pick up tomorrow ... did the first one really spend that much time in Hong Kong?

Unfortunately the only Apple store even close to me is in a mall that opens at 11 in the afternoon. I’m not sure how preorder pickup works there.

Even if I go on the Apple app now, it’s not showing an option to pick up at that location :(
 
Feels like this week is flying already. Hope next days ahead goes by fast. Not much of a long wait left for the pre-ordering 😳
YES! Let’s just hope this Foxconn business with Apple doesn’t impact our 12PMs shipping next month. I’m trying to stay positive by reassuring myself that there is no way Foxconn would further tensions while trying to negotiate a better deal 🤞

It should.....looks like yours is in ANC or very close. A UPS flight just landed in ANC from HKG about 30 mins ago and another one lands in 5 mins. It's possible they put the paperwork in just before the flight lands so it gets cleared quickly and on to the next destination.
 
So had a full day with the phone. Already passed the missing touchid phase lol. The Pro model with the extra ram and no refreshes in Safari is spectacular. I’m VERY happy and also happy with the size of the phone too.

Well, I think a family member experienced it already with her iPhone 12 Pro this week, she received her phone and when she powered it on, it would not pass the Apple logo, it would just repeat the cycle of coming on and disappearing, she then called Apple they did all trouble steps and also restore it, and everything failed, finally the tech told her that it was determined it was a hardware issue and she returned it. So I hope Foxconn is not rushing things and making things without final inspections to cut corners.

Wondering if this is a new route for non launch day phones? mine didn’t go to HK but straight from ZhengZhou to AK.
Mine is on the same flight, shipped to my home in Northern CA. It appears to be on a Cathay Pacific Cargo 747... CPA2096 to Anchorage, then on to Louisville, (you can search for it on FlightRadar24). Looks like UPS chartered a Cathay flight to help with demand. The scheduled departure times match the 11:55 pm scan time, and why else would Cathay Cargo go on the exact UPS route to Anchorage then Louisville if it wasn't working for UPS? It shows a 5:01 pm arrival time in Anchorage, local time. Then a 6:30 pm departure arriving in Louisville at 4:35 am.
