same here! its been stuck there a while though, pretty sure we'll make the friday delivery.

Yes same here, my phone sat in Louisville hanging out all day apparently. Hopefully it had fun and picked up a few women's phone numbers while hanging out at the local bars, lol. :D:p Anyways, it didn't make the 5:05 to Philly yesterday. It better make one of 2 5:05 flights to Philly today if I am to get it tomorrow.

For all of us stuck in Korea, it looks like they added a second UPS flight to Anchorage today. Hooray! I'm guessing that has doubled our chances of getting off the Korean peninsula today.

I had two items in Louisville, my Apple portfolio case left last night for delivery today but my iPhone still shows in Ky.......any progress your way?
 
Mine was shipped on the 10th but is stuck in China based on UPS. Original delivery date was for the 16th. Apple has a date of the 20th. It's been stuck in ZZ for two days with an exception and date is now unavailable. I ordered on launch day. Any one else stuck in ZZ?

My phone was stuck there for around 6 days, during which my delivery date slipped until it said unavailable.

Nada! Still showing just the arrival scan and says "rescheduled delivery for 17th , end of day"
 
MadDog, I am still traveling with you. Shows Korea for me. Hopefully we get to Alaska today & delivery Friday!

Friday is definitely optimistic, but I'll go along with it. Personally, I'm looking at Monday here on the east coast (Boston) but we'll see! Still showing no updates.

To those who are still in Korea, what flights are scheduled to leave Incheon today?

EDIT: Just saw the added flight times above after I asked my question!

My phone is currently stuck in Incheon Korea. I think the really only way we will get the phone friday is if it flies out on the 11:28pm flight. :(

I agree with this. Although I'm starting to think, for me personally, Monday is better for delivery as I'll have time to myself to get things backed up and set up. Friday-Sunday around my household is utter chaos. (But I'll still gladly take the thing on Friday anyway...haha)
 
Waiting anxiously to see if I make the 11:10 PM KST flight. Otherwise, I hope to make the 5:55 AM KST. Wish they had added that extra flight yesterday. Maybe they want all of us out of Korea by the end of the week to make room for next week’s load. Still keeping my fingers crossed for a delivery on 11/17 and not 11/20.

the people stuck in Incheon, do we have to do all that clearing stuff before we leave. Or can we technically be on the next flight out?
 
For any that have received your phones, Which method did you use to transfer stuff? itunes, icloud or quick start and did you have to use the new sim or were you able to transfer your old one?
I used the quick start and was able to use the new SIM. You still have to remove the old SIM before returning it. The quick start took a few tries due to server issues, but not too bad. It’s was pretty painless. The Face ID setup was a breeze.

Looking back on past logs, it looks like some folks have a clearing step and some don't.

UPS99 takes off in 5 minutes. Fingers crossed!

I think yesterday it took 2 hours after take off for a departure scan to appear. On Tuesday, it took 1 hour.
 
. So crazy I ordered two phones same time basically and one of them is in Korea and the other is going to be delivered today by 1:00pm

has yours gone through the clearing process yet in Incheon Korea?

Lol oops nope. Looks like next week if it has to clear then because I doubt they’ll move that fast. Damn.

I wish I could just cancel this thing. It’s been sitting in shipping since the 8th, friends who ordered well after me have theirs, and the stores around me have had a consistent supply that I could have picked up, multiple times.

So we won't know for two more hours if our phones are on there great...
