Departed Anchorage, AK, bound for me.
Interesting, my 6+ was with yours on the Osaka flight, now shows it departed 4:19, half hour after yours, so on different flights now. At least all five flights are in the air. Shall keep my fingers crossed...
Anyone who thinks each and every iPhone is being scanned while overseas is mistaken.
There are hundreds of thousands of these devices on pallets being loaded on planes, and only a small percentage are scanned, so UPS, has a track on lot numbers/pallet identification numbers to know which group(s) are loaded and traveling to the USA.
Once they reach UPS distribution centers, they will be individually scanned and off to the respective locations.
Take a guess how many pallets of iPhones are loaded on one UPS Boeing 767-300 ?

Mine is stuck in Korea... Hopefully they just didn't scan it and it's on its way to Louisville by UPS 99...

Same here -- super sad.. the whole ATT next not compatible with Apple pre-order totally blows
I'm an Air Traffic Controller here in Austin.. a UPS flight always flies in around 5:30am, yours will probably be here in the morning
But will it be 17L or 17R? I NEED TO KNOW!
That's odd because I was able to preorder with Apple with the ATT next but I did it as an existing customer.
Processing Items Available to ship: 3 - 4 weeks
Delivers: Oct 13 - Oct 20 by Standard Shipping\
I ordered a T-mobile, Silver 6 Plus, 64 GB on 9/12 @ 7:30 am PDT.
Yes: "Available to ship: 3 - 4 weeks
Delivers: Oct 13 - Oct 20 by Standard Shipping" for my iPhone plus Space Gray 128GB.
That's weird. I ordered on the 15th, I thought I would have a much longer wait date. Oddly enough the ATT preorder that I almost completed said I wouldn't get it until the middle of November.
Hand raised here. 6+ SG. 64GB. Still processing. Thread read if anyones order starts moving.

Which model and carrier did you order?
Mine was Space Gray iPhone 6 plus 128GB AT&T.

I wonder if we are waiting for this?:
http://appledailyreport.com/iphone-6-plus-delivery-oct-8-total-500000-still-may-meet-market-demand/
"About 500,000 iPhone 6 Plus will be delivered on Oct. 8 compared to 10 million iPhone 6 due to production capacity limits and challenges related to its bigger screen, reports Jiemian, an online Chinese economic, financial and social news website as noted by BrightWire, a global investment newswire.
Quoting an unnamed source at Foxconn, which manufactures several Apple products, the article says the second batch of iPhones from manufacturers in China is due to be delivered on Oct. 8. The supply of iPhone 6 will fully meet market demand within a month, but its not clear when iPhone 6 Plus demand will be fulfilled, said the source."
Yes, I am wondering why I got so far back in the cue when I ordered fairly early? Oh well.
