Well I know if I look via "UPS My Choice" it still shows Thursday, but the direct tracking details shows "In transit, check back later"
Both via Web. So it might be something like that
Got a tip for us?

I am showing the same data on the UPS app and on their website. In the app, it's scheduled for Thursday in my list of deliveries as "tentative, but when I click on it there is no date on the details page. The apple site still says Monday 9/30. 🤷♀️
Poking around like you and looking for Anchorage bound flights I found same but ones closest to our shipped time are two (or one they show up as same when you click them) are the Cargolux Airlines International:
Just what I did. I have the new phone and waiting for it to reboot after the data transfer. Shoulda gone to the store on Fri morning before the damn thing even shipped. But it’ll still be ok.
Yes I noticed later those were actually the same. There are also a couple of 2-something flights we could be on if the UPS facility was at the airport. One through Shanghai and one through Xiamen. They both arrive a bit earlier into ANC. I've not seen any of my iPhone go through those locations in the past that I can recall, but if they are having logistical issues maybe they are re-routing wherever they can? I guess we may not know until we get an arrival scan . . . somewhere! Fun to ponder the possibilities.

Bye to all the folks that got their phones already - enjoy them!

Over years I have seen them go to Shanghi for sure not sure about other locations. I am guessing that they are using contractors so they can get them out at ZhengZhou but we shall see. I did find 3 flights from there to Anchorage that pass or passed through Icheon South Korea so some here might be on those as well
Based on the flight durations in the recent CLX9761 history (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CLX9761/history), I suspect we're really looking at the Mon 7:48p AKDT arrival time and not the Tues 04:05a AKDT arrival time.
Assuming this is the right plane in the first place (!)
That gives a chance for it to be on UPS2997: https://flightaware.com/live/findflight?origin=PANC&destination=KSDF

Well, based on the tracking info posted by the launch day group, it looks like it can indeed be delivered a mere 2 days after the departure scan from ZhengZhou..

Bear in mind that it's hard to be certain what timezone these scans are in, but - yeah.
It's hard to say, the departure scan coming in now could even mean the plane has already left. It's not as if they're scanning every one of these boxes. The packages are in an air shipping container, and someone's scanning a manifest. You won't see a scan on the actual box until Louisville when the container is unloaded and the individual contents are routed.
So, for the above already-completed delivery - This flight would almost line up, but the arriaval/departure from anchorage doesn't seem right. But the initial departure from ZhengZhou and the final arrival in Louisville are right within the envelope.
https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CKS817/history/20190918/1500Z/PANC/KSDF
So - what we can be sure of is that we can take the times on the UPS site with a grain of salt.
Now, in terms of those two Cargolux flights - That's an interesting thing going on there. Two scheduled flights leaving the origin, with the same flight number, almost the same time, one has double the flight time?
I sure wouldn't be surprised if one of those was a chartered aircraft continuing on to Louisville (or maybe chicago) after Anchorage, that the flight tracking sites don't have the updated flight plan for - or they're relying on the standard route of the flight number. Or maybe one's direct to chicago - who knows, I'll try to find a flight plan - but - Two flights with the same number airborne at one time? That's anomalous to be sure. (in fact they'll probably have to change one so ATC can disambiguate clearances, but I digress).
Thursday seems like a good bet at this point, IMHO.

If we got on CLX9731, it lands in ANC at 10:15 AKDT and maybe we could be on the ANC-Louisville flight that leaves at 11:15 PM and arrives in Lousville at 9:25 AM tomorrow. If that happened I could totally see getting my phone on Wednesday even, but that is probably too many planets for the universe to align.

Right there with ya - just posted this same thing. Fingers crossed.

Yes I agree with this. Will be interesting and Thursday is looking reasonable again
I honestly enjoy checking thris thread more than my UPS label. My phone is clearly in the same batch as yours, and I havent been reviewing my UPS tracking as much as this thread.
I know we are all impatient to get our new babies that we are paying top dollar for, but going through the hassle of cancelling an order, getting new IUP loans, etcetera, as to not have to wait an extra week is kinda crazy. Unless you are upgrading from like an iphone 6 it shouldnt be this imperative to have this phone in your hands ASAFP.
If anything this 'delay' is giving the case I ordered more of a chance to get here in time for the phone itself.

UPS tracking is all sorts of screwed up. I’m looking at my fiancé who received hers last Friday. The times and activity are totally different. Like, ours hit customs before the Apple volume at origin. Hers hit Apple volume prior to the clearing agency. Also, hers has “Your package was released by the customs agency”, ours does not. Anyone who called this organized has no idea what they are talking about.
Got the departure scan too. In the same boat. Lets pray we all get our phones soon

I also ordered a watch and got that on release day. The tracking for the watch was all over the place, with it appearing and disappearing from My Choice constantly and details changing right up until the day before it arrived, most likely because of the holds to make sure it arrived no earlier than Friday. I wouldn't take any day one tracking as an example of what's going to happen with our phones.
Launch-day shipments and post launch-day shipments aren’t necessarily going to go through the same process...
And the time zones mess things up. Some data is reported in their time zone and some in ours so it looks all wonky. Happens every time.
Totally agree with this. The ups and downs of waiting and tracking has become part of the fun of getting a new phone. Happy to be here with all those patiently impatiently waiting!
More like “Happy to be here with all those who are also supposed to be working.”
I did some time math from using the UPS track on a release day phone (https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ead.2195752/page-351#lg=post-27773097&slide=0)
Here are some napkin math predictions based on the above information and our current status. Note, I calculated this to Las Vegas per the release day itinerary so your actual arrival time may vary:
