not everyone has the low standard you have when it comes to video quality. I always watch 2160p on YouTube when it's available and it's quite slow to jump forward/backward on LTE

Btw I live in Singapore where the internet speed is faster than in the US

They do not. When you get the tracking info you will see it says weekday delivery only.
Hmmm.
I don't know where you are, but both UPS and FedEx deliver on Saturday here in the U.S.
 
Every year this happens...lots of "In Progress" all the way to Thursday night then, boom! they all start flipping to "Shipped".

One year, both of my iPhones showed "In Progress" even AFTER they were delivered on Friday haha!!

Since I've started ordering directly through AT&T I've never had an iPhone not show up on Delivery Friday.
 
Not sure why it went back to saying left Plainfield, IN on the 22nd and today. Final Destination is to Austin, TXView attachment 1841611

This post prompted me to check my FedEx account and sure enough I now have a tracking number. Info was sent to FedEx as of 9:14 CST this morning and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Hope it moves tonight so I can request a hold at location since I gotta go to the FedEx store tomorrow anyway to drop off/pick up a couple packages.
 
Well, I took the advice of an earlier poster, who suggested FEDEX is not the only carrier to look at.

So just before midnight I check my UPS account. Sure enough a label had been created and was awaiting pickup. Today ATT website still indicates:

"Great news! We're just about ready to ship your order."​

Another thing I did learn, from UPS site, is that shipment is overnight, and an "estimated" delivery for tomorrow.

I guess I'll see if the "stars align" and we all actually see the new phone tomorrow!

It’s always 100% until it’s not. I was in same position, never a late delivery for a preorder. Until I had one late, then I lost confidence.

This just to ensure a Friday delivery so he will be getting his tomorrow
No, if for some reason it was delayed, FedEx will keep it until Monday. They will not attempt on Saturday even if they are already coming to your house. I hope it’s not that way everywhere but that is how it has been for TN deliveries for the past several years.

Now the "manager" is saying that devices dont ship until launch date. Ill post the transcript after its finished. It absurd how little these people know about the process.
You know, if your device is close enough at a distribution area, they may not even need to move it until the last few hours for your local hub to receive and deliver. People that got tracking already may have needed their phones shipped farther from a distribution center for final delivery so it is actually moving now.

These people in the call centers are not on site with the phones and sit at a cubicle while waiting for people in warehouses to scan and move products. Not hard to understand and not that absurd.

Silver now finally says “preparing to ship” and cancel option is no longer available. No tracking yet.

Now that I recall in the years I did AT&T orders they did update overnight last minute. I’ve never had a delay.

The last few years I went through apple though.
