Apple should integrate order tracking for Apple store orders into the new Find My app. Maybe they could provide real-time plane tracking for us

Well - that depends on Apple's arrangements with UPS. Sure it's really important to you right now, but UPS isn't in the habit of making 2-day deliveries overnight because you wish really hard. "UPS World Ease" is a complicated product, and this is a massive deployment. If the arrangement is to deliver "on or before 9/27", UPS may well trickle them out to destinations as space on scheduled flights allow.
Or, there arrangements could be to proceed as expediently as possible, violating the laws of physics if able, at any cost.
We're in on or before 9/27 territory, I reckon. Thursday is still a possibility for some-to-most, but hard to say.
But just remember that just because logisitically feasible doesn't mean your priorities are the priorities of a giant logistics company trying to squeeze every dollar out of every gram of Jet-A fuel. Which isn't cheap btw.
You know I went in store and checked out the green (I ordered a space gray) and I was very surprised at how little green it looked and kinda wish I had gotten it instead.My fuglyass’d green phone is arriving 9/27 by end of day. 😒
Apple should do a documentary about the whole process. From release, pre order, to shipping and finally delivery. The whole process from when you press that check out tab.
Well I’m hoping when I put my glossy clear Spigen case on it that I will like it. The dullness is bumming me out.
If you look at the customs scans it becomes a little more clear:This got me thinking. If it cleared in AK that long ago, wouldn't our phones be en route or in KY right now? Maybe not because there's no departure scan but I can dream.

It’s 11.02PM over there. So i the system says 12.05 which is weird. Isn’t it?Mine both departed Anchorage at 12:05.
Why do the phones have to go through so many places? Two or three places in China, Alaska, Kentucky.

I tend to think it’s on this flight, below. Times are off, and there’s another Cathay Pacific that matches the time a bit more closely. At any rate, I hope a Thursday delivery is possible, but I guess Friday is fine too.
