Keen to see the impressions of the XS Max.
Not sure if it's my age or what; but I'm just not as enthusiastic about this update as I normally would be. I be grudgingly placed an order for a max version, but I did so only because my 7+ has become a bit sluggish with the evolution of system updates. Hopefully the increased screen size will make it easier to navigate with my klutzy fingers.
XS Max 256 space gray. I have an in store pick up on 21st and credit card has been charged. Not as excited though. I don’t like the notch, Face ID and of course the price but don’t see myself going to android yet. I had to give up my 8 plus due to some issue and now stuck with a 6 that is dying a slow death.
They have em in store when they first deliver.
No way is Apple gonna cannibalize it’s own XS max.

Anybody's stainless steel Apple Watch shipped? Or with Sep 21 delivery?
Raise your hand
It does thanks! Since I just woke up and noticed that yup it has still not shipped out as of yet. Even after my initial post! Can’t wait till Friday!Based on my past experience of this week (the four business days before the Friday delivery), I'm thinking you might be freaking out the next couple days when there is no more movement of your new device. I'm guessing you think they are going to be shipping out in the next few hours.
In recent years my family's new iPhones sat at least several days after showing up in Shanghai on the UPS site before finally leaving China, seemingly so late that there was no way they could possibly make it on time for a Friday delivery to my house.
Before finally realizing Apple was a better seller of iPhones than ATT, after my order was canceled for no apparent or reported reason by ATT several days after the pre-orders, I got my phones shipping info from ATT late in the week and saw them delivered from California or Texas.
The first few years with Apple I was definitely concerned that there was something wrong when UPS My Choice showed my delivery several days before they got possession of them, then they sat for days after that initial report. Finally they moved and landed in Anchorage on their way to finally arrive into Louisville sometime after midnight on Friday. Soon after that they were on plane to the local UPS airport, and then on the truck to my house on Friday morning for an afternoon delivery.
All that excitement and then the real excitement of opening the box and setting up the new phone!
Hope that gives you a bit more ease over the next few days. It is an amazing performance!
Tracking by reference (Apple order # minus the last two digits), UPS says my Xs is heading to Atlanta, GA. And yet I live in Los Angeles.
Called Apple today and they say they don’t have a tracking number yet for my shipment, but my delivery address is indeed correct (Los Angeles). What gives?

You won't until right before it ships. AT&T receives their iPhone stock in KY unassigned to anyone and then pairs them up with accounts before shipping them out. You might not get any tracking info before Wednesday. When I've ordered in the past it was sometimes even Thursday.Does anyone have a trick to find the tracking number of an order I placed on ATT.com? Rather than ordering thru Apples website I used ATT and it just says “in progress”. I’m not worried, just curious. I have the UPS and FedEx app and neither of them show the iPhone tracking yet..... I’ve tried many different combos of my cell number, account number, order confirmation number, etc on UPS track by reference and haven’t gotten anything.
Does anyone on here order through Verizon? I did but I didn't get up early to order, I ordered that Friday the 14th at 3pm. It said estimated to ship around Sept 21st. I still haven't been charged yet and I'm starting to worry I won't get it Friday.
I'm just wondering if anyone who ordered through Verizon on Friday if it said estimated to ship or did it say deliver by the 21st.
The reason I worry is I will be out of town next week. I'm starting to wonder if I should cancel my order and just try Friday going into Verizon to see if they have any 256 GB gold XS Max available!

Mine still says preparing for shipment...Nice. Waiting for mine to update.
Dang mine says ship by.I ordered through VZW around 10am. Mine still says processing. But says delivered by the 21st.
FedEx is shipping my Xs, but I ordered through Verizon, not Apple. It actually shipped a couple days ago. But at the bottom, there's a big message in red letters stating "Per shipper instructions, package will not be delivered until the scheduled delivery date."I was really hoping that FedEx would be delivering these.
Apple started preparing the first iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders for shipment over the weekend, and now those orders have started shipping out to customers.
Apple has not yet updated order statuses from "Preparing to Ship" and likely will not do so until later this week when packages begin hitting their destination locations, but customers who pre-ordered a new device in the United States may be able to track their order using UPS tracking features.

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders that are shipping via UPS in the United States are in transit and can be tracked using a UPS My Choice account or a reference number on the UPS website.
Customers with UPS My Choice accounts can visit the scheduled deliveries section of the website to see a list of Apple orders that are set to be delivered on Friday, which can be clicked to reveal full tracking details.

Tracking by reference requires a phone number and a zip code, or an order number minus the last two digits of the number. Many customers are already seeing their orders on the UPS website, but not every order has been transitioned to UPS as of yet.

Most orders right now are still in various parts of China, but should be departing for the United States and other countries in the near future.
Apple began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 on Friday, September 14 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time. By the time a half hour had passed, many iPhone XS Max models had sold out and were no longer available for launch day delivery.
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders placed today will not ship out until October, but some models are still available for in-store pickup on September 21 in select stores. Retail stores are also expected to have supplies available for walk-in purchases on launch day.
Apple Stores, carrier locations like Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T, and big box retailers like Best Buy and Target are likely to have the new products available for purchase on launch day in the United States.
