Apple.com: iPhone 6s / 6s Plus Order Tracking

[se1000]

Thanks I finally found it just before coming back here too. Yep, you look exactly right. Thank you.

I wonder the reasoning behind this? The Band 30 support for AT&T creates an entirely different model for Apple to produce. Why do that? If you need to have Band 30, why not put it in all the phones? I wonder if there are some advantages to the components in the non-band 30 models that make them a better choice if not being used on AT&T? Or, does it save maybe $1.00 on the units that don't need the Band 30 support and when you're selling millions, $1.00 adds up?

Whatever the case, it's disappointing for those of us who were not decided on if we'd use it on AT&T or T-Mobile. Now I feel I need to either re-order an AT&T model for flexibility (full price and get them to unlock it with receipt), or commit 100 percent to T-Mobile.

I'd say they save a bit on the radio filters, components etc by not putting BAND 30 support for all phones since AT&T is the only carrier expected to need BAND30

With that said, keep in mind BAND 30 isn't used or widely used by AT&T yet, and when it's used it'll be to supplant bandwidth in dense areas.

For future-proofing, it is a nice to have but personally I wouldn't worry so much about specifically BAND 30 support

This link leads me to believe T-mo, sprint and vzw will get the one model and ATT the other with band 30.

Thanks! Good find, you're probably right.

At least you have an import scan! Both of my phones are sitting in KY with a day old arrival scan and no sign of departure. I'm not really nervous, I know they can get it to my by tomorrow as Louisville is only about 7 hours away from me, but it would be nice to see some movement.

I can imagine it's crazy in Louisville, thousands of phones waiting to be scanned, sorted and loaded onto planes.

3 UPS Flights from Louisville to Newark this afternoon, inching closer.

There's a whole thread on this and you're correct. The only difference is band 30.

There is when you wanted the space gray and he ordered the silver!

Yeah, silver is definitely the "wrong color" for me. White front and none of the back bling.

Where are you seeing this? My phone has to be coming on one of those.

I just got a text and email alert from UPS about my package. Does anyone know what this means? When I check the status on ups.com it still appears to be in transit and on time.


Exception Reason: WE'VE REQUESTED A MODIFIED INTERCEPT FOR THIS PACKAGE.
Exception Resolution: THE REQUEST FOR THIS PACKAGE WAS CANCELLED

UPS knows.

Don't waste time here. Call them. Tomorrow is coming fast.

 

[KdParker]

Sometimes they drive out by truck out of Louisville too.

You can track and get the tracking number from UPS using just phone number and ZIP code. I wonder if someone you know has hacked your info and created a UPS Mychoice account to redirect the package

It may go to Seattle and then down, or SF and then up. It doesn't have to be a direct flight.

Ahhhh...OK. thanks. Good point.

I agree. I have the silver for my 6+ and it's basically light gray. Kind of blah. Am getting the rose gold this time.

 

[engelke2010]

Maybe it went to Hershey World of Chocolate for a day trip...

Those people better be getting a TON of chocolate from their phones then!

My phone was in Zhengzhou for 4 days, not sure what it brought me...

 

[engelke2010]

My 6 Plus didn't get here until 18:29 last year. Hoping that doesn't happen again but it probably will.

That is why I will be picking mine up at my local hub.

Well oddly none of this "redirect" stuff shows up on the UPS tracking page--the package still appears to be on time and headed to the correct destination. I only know this happened because I signed up for email/text alerts on the package. I guess I'll call them...ugh.

Hey hey! Where did the silver hate come from all of a sudden? lol. Then again, I'm throwing a leather cover on it from day 1. Not like the color mattered for me to begin with.

 

[wilhub]

I'm getting excited one more day

That's some damn accurate time for something took place a year ago, it must have been a dreadful wait.

Not if my Dad was paying for the phone

Then any color is perfect.

Thanks. I agree. If I do stay with AT&T though, I think it will get the better of me and I'll want the Band 30 support.

It's pretty amazing that they created 3 versions world wide, "Normal," China, and AT&T. I guess that is the power of AT&T.

It looks like there was a change request and then that change request was cancelled. You can call them but it's probably fine.

Seems like you switch phones every year, I wouldn't sweat it the average consumer has no idea. Hopefully next year Apple will finally have 1 model for all carriers

...still in the system sans detailed tracking.

Just called to hold my phone at ups facility (near me) it's 20 miles away... And I'm in SoCal
