It probably didn't hurt that Apple had 3 weeks of extra time to produce Max models this year.
Looking forward to leaving my front door open next Friday (I have a security / screen door) so I can leap for the door at the sound of every truck on the street.
AZ was 99 degrees yesterday but finally with a cooldown next week an open door is a possibility. That UPS driver won't be able to drop a "we missed you slip" and run, muahaha!

No. Not happening. Apple has a deal with the shippers.
Not fun when you don't see progress for a few days. Then exceptions. Then notices about late/missed planes. Estimated days go to the following Tuesday. Yet it arrived on the day APple estimated for me (today). And got it configured and service transferred before I left town for the weekend.It’s also very fascinating how iPhone gets travelled from China to your home local destination.
It’s fun to track the iPhone. Knowing the time, the flight information, different type of scans, when it gets released through the customs or when it gets a release authorization from the government✍️ and so much more...
It’s very hard to explain. You pretty much have to order the phone yourself to experience the journey. People have been doing it for years.
There is a reason there are over 13,000 posts with over 500 pages. We’re not here to waste anyone’s time but to share the excitement and the journey together.

As retailers prepare to begin sending out iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pre-orders to customers, shipping company employees behind the scenes are working hard...www.macrumors.com
Went to preparing to ship about 45 minutes earlier than I did for my 12 Pro the day I ordered it.
Maybe next week you won't have some people thinking Wednesday delivery because the initial UPS delivery estimates say early. COVID! changes everything. Then still held until the delivery day promised.
Wouldn’t it be great if Apple said “you know, the world has had such a rough year, let’s let them have their iPhones a couple of days early.” Yeah, I know, I’m living in a fantasy world. 🤷♀️
Depending on carrier, you may be able to move the plan from eSIM to eSIM without calling in. I backed up my 11 to my computer, keeping it at 14.1 so that wouldn't be an issue. Restored from backup on the 12 Pro. Followed prompts to activate the phone. Had a few moments of stress when the new phone just showed 4G, and data didn't work. Airplane mode. Then voice worked. Then data. Then a test in a market without 5G and got 179mb/sec down on a speed test.
Congrats on the PTS! Also send sone rain to NorCal!

Such a wishful thinking! But Apple would never do that. They don’t play games.
Don't know if it is poor selling, or if inventory available is higher.
I would guess this last. Apple will want phones available in retail for Black Friday.
I can see the Mini being a popular impulse purchase by people at carrier stores. Lower price, 5G.
I looked at the list of reference numbers when I got my tracking number. One of which was my cell phone number used on order. There were many numbers. I don't recall whether the order number was one.
Mine went to preparing to ship, too. Now, I get to watch it sit in China until Wednesday 😂
Not via UPS at least. You could try before shipping with Apple. One person pages back forgot to update his address, and had moved out of state. Couldn't do anything about it, and tracked it to where it was dropped off at his old address. I don't recall whether it was ever resolved.
Just went to “Processing” after 13 hours of being stuck at “Order Placed.” Hoping it will move to “Preparing to Ship” soon!

It is variable. From what I've read, some people were getting more money than normal due to higher than normal unemployment payments, and likely cut back on expenses (I didn't have a vacation this year, but kept my job). Obviously, many people had less money, living off of savings if they had savings.
My monthly cell phone bill is lower now than it was last February before this all hit, which helps pay for my monthly installment payment.
UPS will not leave the package. They ask for your name and fill it in on their tablet. No contact But "signature required".
