FlightAware Offers Tool For Tracking iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Pre-Order Shipment Flights

[Melodeath]

I'm with you..except mine started in Harrisburg, PA and is now in Louisville, KY. I'm in Columbus, OH. I kinda wish mine started in China as I can't get in on all the fun everyone else is having.

Do we have earlier produced iPhone 6's? Mine started in Harrisburg, as well.

 

[kevnet]

ugh. UPS gives more tracking movement than FedEx. Mines been sitting in Kentucky for a week...

Ugh, I feel your pain! Mine has been in Newark, NJ since Saturday. FedEx should step up the updates or I'm really worried about it showing up tomorrow!

 

[Moto G]

Isn't this slightly foolish, you know, considering that might encourage robbers and hijackers?

Slightly obsessive, too - seriously, IT'S JUST A PHONE.


How pathetic.

... Ok we've crossed a line here, and it's not a good one.

Here's the line:

LAUGHABLY SAD AND RATHER PATHETIC

It could be that yours were on that lot that came over on the China Airlines flight to ORD, which UPS picked it up and processed it at their hub in Philadelphia. Plausible, but weird, because UPS has decent sized office in Rockford that it could have gone through first.

The only other question I have no idea on is why it would go from Harrisburg to Louisville, then up to columbus. It would be completely out of the way..

BL.

The courier has unboxed it, they're playing with it a bit for you - seriously, they might just be. How'd you feel NOW?

LMAO



Guess what, saddos? In a couple of months time, you'll be like everyone else who has an iPhone 6... just A.N. Other iPhone 6 owner. Ah, wait a sec - you're still just another iPhone 6 owner... (almost)

How droll, and rather ignorant of how freight/cargo operations work. Unless you're crazy enough to drive through a fence like someone did in Fairbanks, no-one will have access to the cargo ramp to even find the right plane, let alone board it to hijack it.

Prime example. At Ontario, the FedEx ramp is on the complete opposite of the airport, where passengers couldn't even get to it.

At Mather Field in Sacramento, the airport is GA and cargo only, with the exception of the California National Guard. Oh, and the airport was a former AFB.

Louisville.. cargo completely separate. Philly: UPS is in a separate part of the field.

If you're going to even attempt to shake someone down, at lest come up with something near accurate. Otherwise, it is nothing but trolling. And you know the rules here about that.

BL.

Kind of stalkish...

Mine started in TX

Tell me - how does one "stalk" an inanimate object?

When there's a few million or more at stake, I think you may be a little naive as to what extreme lengths robbers will go to, in order to steal things. Do you think they're gonna sit there and get someone to politely ask permission to empty the cargo into their vee-hickles? LOL...

All i will say is that I am sure they are heavily guarded just because of situations like this. You can draw any conclusions you want from my profile name.

My point is this - all this tracking info is just helping out those with nefarious intentions, and is a sign of the current "Anything goes" mindset of the world.

Ah well, whatever... lol.

That's the extent of mine. It didn't have a flight. It's already at the hub for delivery tomorrow.

 

[webbuzz]

Interesting expert analysis in this thread, not surprised by some of the arrogance.

 

[refslady]

Somebody needs to put together a website that explains how we can sneak onto these planes so that we can be with our iPhones from birth until they arrive at home. I'm disappointed that the MacRumors staff have not already done this and as a result I will no longer visiting this site ever again.

Yeah right. See you next September!

 

[Mattjeff]

thats so shallow

 

[captain kaos]

We really need to be this OCD?!

 

[Dopeyman]

My 6+ is only 45 mins away from me... I called 'em up to see if I can pick it up and they said no cause it's in "transit" at the moment BUT I can pick it up tomorrow... LOL

 

[kazmac]

Ah! So this is the Flighttracker you were looking for...

Nothing wrong with this (says she who tracks her Mac shipments once they get into the home state.)

Edit: skipped the work ship. But still find this useful.

Really, this takes obsession to a whole new level. What's next, are we going to sue Apple when our gadgets aren't delivered, when we figure that according to our sophisticated tracking calculations they should have been?

If one of these cargo planes were to ditch in the drink, are there going to be mass grief counselling sessions for
those being told, they now have to wait an extra 2 weeks for their iPhone6?

It's out of our hands, accept it. It gets there, when it gets there…..

Breaking News : My iPhone arrives in 12 minutes.

This is my iPhone 6+ 64GB now :

 

[powerstrokin]

Oh but they'll surely be fired for this... I mean you can't divulge flight info for such prescious cargo!!!


-all the people the other day saying that about the pilot the who made a thread and posted two pictures.

How can you "stalk" an inanimate object? Especially your own.

 

[Gasu E.]

Tracking is half the fun.

Uh-oh. It's all downhill from here, then.

 

[DavidNelsonNM]

This tracking sounds neat, and might be true for some cases. My iPhone says it departed Louisville at 353pm, matching the time of UPS77, currently enroute to Ontario CA. And I would be cool with that except for one little problem - UPS says my package is already here in Albuquerque.

Arrived at 552pm Thursday. Which, is quite the trick if it's still on UPS77 - or any of the other UPS flights shown in the Flight Tracker. Note that it has arrived at UPS in ABQ, not that it's been delivered yet. Lo, were it so.

So either UPS is lying their patootie off, or we're off a day in tracking for some of these.

You guys have it easy. Back when the rMBP 2013 went on sale, had to wait three weeks due to backorder demand. We were tracking it by hand and timetables. It took quite a bit of research to connect the dots on where the FedEx cargo flights were landing (Anchorage and Memphis), then figure out the flight from Memphis to Chicago, and then calculate total time. Essentially, the moment I had a tracking number activated during daytime China, I knew I would have it the next business day in Chicago.

Come fly with me.

 

[iMacFarlane]

I could see doing this for an organ replacement you're waiting on ...

Right on, good one. Tracking that kidney, important.
