Preparing to ship, 128gb Max Graphite ordered 8:01 eastern time. I haven't got in on launch day in a few years, excited to be back. Seems like a few years ago someone made a spreadsheet that we all entered info on then they broke down what the order number means. Fun days!
Super jelly — mine has not flipped yet. Ya’ll got me hammering those servers with refreshes :)
 
It's normal. This same thing happened when I pre-ordered the 12 Pro as well. But it will change to "Ship" sometime later in the week. Now you get to have fun tracking your package on UPS.com tracking by reference. Unless you have UPS My Choice, it will automatically pop up there.
Tracking by reference it's using my phone number? Do I need to enter another detail? I just tried to search but it says "no results"... or it's too early? xD
 
i have my skin in the mail. i kinda cant wait! you can customize it any color you want for each section, one for sides, back and camera bump can all be different. only $15... give it a shot

I just looked at the link and I’m going to go with the clear gloss. I don’t want to change the color and I would be able to use my phone naked at work and home from time to time.
 
For those who chose ship vs delivery, have you ever received an order before the public release date?
Seems a few years back a few posters claimed to get theirs a day or two early. Never was proven that I remember and the delivery company stands to be in trouble for violating their contract. Anything is possible though.

I don’t have any form of insurance/AppleCare so mine has to live in a Defender Pro case with a screen protector.

I’m going to add AppleCare+ before my 60 days are up. My device protection with Verizon will carry over to the 12 Pro Max until I get AppleCare+ and then I’ll cancel the Verizon Device Protection. $17 a month is ridiculous when I only really want the $2.99 Call Filter which I could pay separately and save $14.01 on my monthly bill.
