Now I don’t have a date, says check back for scheduled delivery. I did have a date of the 27th. 🍎 still says sept. 27-oct. 1st.
Mine has literally given me a date and taken it away almost every other day. I've been on "in transit" for 2 days now though and I am really starting to get antsy lol

You don't have to do the upgrade by mail. You can wait for the phone to come out, and then just go to a store and do the exchange there in person. I had ordered a phone on the app and i got the 9/27 delivery window. I went ahead and cancelled that order, just walked into a store and picked one up. Easy as that. I might just do that going forward... it's kind of weird going back to just lining up and getting phones in person lol

I don’t have a local store so that doesn’t work. It’s either carrier (yuck) or best buy. Nearest store in Chicago ir Indianapolis are 2-3 hours one way. Not practical unfortunately. But I may tell Tim Cook why i am done with this crap. Keep for several years and order a few months after when I want to upgrade.
 
Was your phone also in Hong Kong yesterday? And are you sure it's your phone being delivered? I'm also getting a delivery from Apple today, and got excited for a second until I realized it's just the box for me to send in my trade-in 😭
Yea I misunderstood and it was the trade in box :(

Question guys. If my local Apple Store has stock, can I enroll in the iUp program, return the phone that is currently shipping, and still turn in my previous phone for the trade in for iUp? The phone that is shipping is currently the upgrade from the iUp program.
 
I know it’s frustrating. I’m really frustrated. But I purchase new iPhones for my wife and me every other year. Every time I get online to do the pre-order the second it opens. Every time I’ve had it on launch day.

So this is the first time it’s been screwed up for me. Starting with not getting into the dumb Apple Store app until like 7 or 8 minutes after orders were being taken. Then this shipping debacle. Ugh. Just get here already.

Yeah I did the iPhone 7 plus in black and that got delayed like a month and now this one is going to be over a week it seems. From now on I'm going to be going to the store day of and not worry about the preorder.

For those craving disambiguation of the gibberish that is a filed flight plan; decoded version:

This is really bizarre:

In Transit09/25/2019 5:31 A.M.Chek Lap Kok, Hong KongDeparture Scan
09/23/2019 9:52 P.M.Louisville, KY, United StatesThe receiver requested an alternate delivery address. The request is in progress.

So it went back to Hong Kong from Louisville??? Insane! Yet delivery date went back to Fri 9/27. Glad I already have my phone.
