It's 7:40am in Cupertino.

I have a feeling we will see a status change later when those guys work day gets going. Nothing to base this on, just a hunch that I don't think apple would hand over control of notifications to a 3rd party when it could be a potential PR nightmare if they f*cked it up.

I doesn't matter what time it is in Cupertino. People halfway around the world could be shipping it.

I have a 9:15am Apple Watch Basics workshop scheduled for 9:15am on "Launch Day"... We'll see what happens. haha
 
Because your phone doesn't keep the decryption key in memory through a restart. (dumbed down explanation) Your password + other unique information decrypts the phone. Your password gets hashed and stored in memory after the first time you type it, and your fingerprint authorizes the system to use that password after the first time you type it from each restart.

Thanks for the knowledge bomb! That never even occurred to me!
 
I've just booked myself a workshop appointment for Saturday 25th. I hope that's not tempting fate!

My two most local Apple stores are offering Apple Watch workshops on WEDNESDAY 22ND. It says to bring your phone and your watch, which obviously can't happen. I don't think there is any correlation between availability of workshops and the delivery schedule!!!
 
Did you order Apple Care? I did and Apple used the Apple Care charge as a way to see if I have funds in my account.

[I used  Pay]

I didn't (yet).

But that still makes 0 sense. They would only know that you have the funds in your account sufficient for a relatively cheap apple care purchase. Not for a way more expensive watch.
 
I wonder when these will switch to "preparing for shipment", has it switched for anyone? mine is still on "processing items"
