Here's what I don't get. My package shipped out yesterday and based off of the other screenshot, should have arrived at the next station with in a few hours, but this is how it is now, and the only change since it initially shipped and now is that my delivery day went from Wednesday to Tuesday, not complaining. Also how does it arrive to, after it departs from, this location? Keep in mind local time in China right now is 10:32 PM 9/27/15 as of writing this.

International date line is crossed when flying to Alaska since they are one day ahead.
 
For those that have an Apple Watch. Did you guys notice better battery life? I have about 20-25% more battery at the end of the day. My Gus's is the iPhone 6s Bluetooth 4.2. This is great either way! Lol

I only had mine a couple of days before all the updates (iOS 9 on the old phone, Watch OS 2, and now new iPhone 6s), so I'm not sure how good it was before, but I am pleased with the battery life. I wear it all day and so far, it's never had less than 50% battery remaining by bed time.
 
International tracking is a pain when the timezones aren't consistent. :/
Yeah, and UPS tracking can look strange when coming from overseas.

Once it lands in Alaska/USA the updates will start to be more "realistic" with more accurate delivery date. Your shipment progress looks normal so far. I've seen arrival/departure/arrival all at same international city back to back.

Hope you like the phone!! Got my 6s (Space Gray/Verizon) on Friday and it's been very fast and nice update. Even though I also had the 6 I can still tell a big speed difference.

My Apple Watch certainly improved my iPhone 5's battery life. :p
 
My watch died when I tried to pair it with my new phone. It was sent to the factory yesterday from the Apple store. It will either be fixed or replaced. I miss it.

What do you mean by died? In what way? I will be pairing my Apple Watch to my new phone and I don't need my watch dying on me.

I was having Bluetooth issues staying "connected" (after re-pairing to new iPhone, and restoring Watch from backup). I just power cycled both my phone and watch, now things are fine.

How did your watch die? Would it not turn on or charge at all?
 
It happened when I put the phone camera over the watch. The circle on the watch face was about half way around when the screen went blank and would not come on again except for a faint Apple logo. I tried power charging it and nothing happened. I tried charging the watch and it got very warm but still would not start. The Apple store employees couldn't do anything with it either and it was sent to the factory (hopefully yesterday) for repair or replacement. I got the watch the beginning of June and it has worked fine in every way until now.

No one else has reported this and I'm sure a lot of watches were paired to new iPhones over the past 2 days so I doubt you'll have a problem. I would read the instructions carefully before proceeding. I reset the old phone as directed by the Apple watch app on the phone, but I didn't unpair it from the old phone and I wonder if that made any difference.
 
FYI - For those of you in the Seattle region, iPhone 6S's still appear to be in stock for reservation at the Southcenter Apple Store. Best Buy Mobile had signs on both Friday and Saturday that they have the iPhone 6S in stock. iPhone 6S Plus is all sold out from what I can tell.

UPS only shows you the cities of various locations. In this case, it departed one location in ZhengZhou (likely the factory), and arrived at another location in ZhengZhou (likely the warehouse they store them in until they are put on transport). Internally, UPS employees who need to can see the details beyond the city level, but as a customer, that's all you get.
 
Well...hopefully everyone with a Sept 25th delivery date will have their phones by tomorrow.

And we can all do this again next year or in two years.
I'm getting my Tuesday, so I will continue to nag until I do get it.

Bought my iPhone with no contract . Full price AT&T iPhone directly from the Apple Store . Yes indeed I could confirm that it's unlocked straight out of the box !!

: )

One question, did you have to set up a plan with AT&T in order to buy it from AT&T im trying to buy one to take back home to my family (Panama) but it needs to be unlocked.

Sweet, my phone is on this plane right now. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99/history/20150928/1255Z/RKSI/PANC
 
Lovely that my shipping dates have just moved to a week later! What utter rubbish. Don't give me a week time range and then slide that by a week Apple! :mad:

That happened to me twice, going from 9/25-10/2 to 10/6-10/12 to 10/9-10/13, and now I'm expected to get mine tomorrow, so I would still be hopeful that it comes in the original stated delivery estimate. This is clearly a bug in Apple's systems, and I (probably one of many) have alerted them to this since there is no logged change in the dates, which according to Apple is unusual especially if it happens twice.
 
So in the long run, on launch day I'm glad I had reservations in two stores because UPS royally screwed up my order man, I still don't even have it. Thankfully I was able to pick up my reservation. The CC where my phone is SITTING is going to call me today before end of day to figure out what they can do for me since they screwed up my order so ROYALLY.
