I'd be interested to find out if the manufacturing location has any correlation with the ability to find tracking information.

It appears phones manufactured in Zhengzhou have already been shipped and can be found on the UPS website.

It appears phones manufactured in Chengdu have not yet been shipped and cannot be found on the UPS website.

When posting your tracking results it would be beneficial if you also posted your manufacturing location.

Serial numbers starting with DN are manufactured in Chengdu

Serial numbers starting with F1 are manufactured in Zhengzhou

 

[Jon Boy]

Yep, your serial number showing up on https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do seems to correlate with when your tracking information becomes available on UPS.

I could not find my phone in either, but when my phone was finally showing up on UPS the serial finally populated on Apple's support website.

Oh wow i never knew this page existed, thanks a lot dude now my iPhone 5 serial is there but still preparing to ship on order page.

Yeah, that's a nice site - I use it all the time to get details about my Macs. Speaking of this phone, I've got a 64GB White and a 64GB Black on order... One of those was produced in Chengdu, the other must have been from Zhengzhou.

Which one is white, and which one is black? I'm curious. Here's my details; can someone with only a white or only a black confirm which factory theirs was made in?

Serial number: DNPJC.....
Production week: 36 (September)
Factory: DN (China, Chengdu - Foxconn)

Serial number: F17JD.....
Production week: 37 (September)
Factory: F1 (China, Zhengzhou - Foxconn)

I got a 64GB white GSM and here is the info:

Serial number: DNPJD........
Production year: 2012
Production week: 37 (September)
Factory: DN (China, Chengdu - Foxconn)

You and me both.

 

[CedricEarl]

Well I was able to have a look at my information on UPS. It gave me the tracking information and the last update says its been processed and ready for UPS. So I'm assuming its going to sent today or tomorrow and I'll be notified accordingly.

 

[billinaz]

You and me both.

Mine was made in Chengdu and I can see it on the UPS website.

Make sure you are trying ALL your phone numbers......

Awesome, Bill!

So our white 64GB phones are likely all being produced in Chengdu.

Black in Zhengzhou.

Thanks.

[Eddie.V]

My serial is showing up on the Apple profile page, it was also manufactured in Chengdu, and not yet showing up on UPS tracking.

Wow, C3 - a whole 'nuther factory.

With a week J6, that means your iPhone 5 was probably one of the first ever made:

Serial number: C39J6........
Production year: 2012
Production week: 32 (August)
Factory: C3 (China)

 

[i4Collin]

On my UPS tracking # under "weight" it used to say .90 kg.
I just checked and now it says .40 kg.
Is my iPhone 5 starving to death sittin' around China?

Mine says .40 too, and I saw someone else who had it on their tracking post, so I doubt it.
