Carrier iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max (2019) Apple Store US Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status Thread

Last year, when I ordered my XS Max through the Verizon app, they randomly cancelled my order the day before launch. I had to call and get it straightened out and still got my phone on launch day, but never figured out why my order got cancelled. The running theory was that everyone who used Apple Pay to pay for their pre-order through Verizon had weird cancellation problems.
This year is shaping up to be worrisome for the same reason. I got an email very late Saturday night saying that my payment didn't go through and my order was on hold. It seems that Verizon charged everything EXCEPT for the 12th payment they needed on my XS Max in order to do the trade in for the 11 Pro Max. I got on the site and paid it right away, but I have a weird feeling there are going to be problems with my order.
Crossing my fingers that I'll have my phone on Friday, because I'm going to have some great picture-taking opportunities this weekend.

what are you talking about?
We don't know who those iPhones belong to and we don't know when they got departure scans.
I'm just letting you know you're wrong so you don't mislead people here.
They didn’t screw up. It isn’t ticket master where tickets are reserved during the order process. Phones aren’t reserved until the order is 100% submitted which is why it shows as an estimate and not a guaranteed, so during the time it took you to order the particular model you wanted the ship date slipped a week due to high demand. They didn’t screw up. Apple should compensate you because you require immediate gratification of having your phone on release day? Patience man it’s just a phone. Look at it this way the novelty of having it will wear off a week later than those who receive it on release day. Apple isn’t going to compensate you for your impatience when they didn’t make any errors.
Everyone have cases and screen protectors already for their new iPhones, or going naked?
/Edit: I'm going with the Brown Apple leather case, and an iCarez HD Clear screen protector (could not recommend these protectors more!).

Yeah I evacuated to Orlando for Irma in 2017 and had to go through a huge mess with the executive team for the 8+ IUP preorder while I was staying at the Grand Floridian in Disney World. Got back in time to get the launch delivery though. Good times...
Actually, probably not. They may have phones bound for Canada or most probably apple watches on them or other apple products. Flightaware is just showing all UPS bound flights for Alaska. They have no way to know what actual flights have iPhones on them. My brother flies for UPS and will be doing the Apple run tomorrow...his second year of flying this route during launch week. UPS files flight plans but doesn't disclose what flights have iPhones or any other stuff in them, except internally. That is for security purposes...Plus, depending on volume, UPS sub-contracts out to other cargo carriers that you would have no way of tracking as well...
You won't see movement on phones, bound for the US until tomorrow at the earliest...
Yeah, but I think they know better than @JFK1979
Especially since we know iPhones are already in the US.
No. They never will because they sell out every year and this is to be expected.
Best Buy still had 9/20 availability as of yesterday on a lot of different models. You can try there. Option B is to go to an Apple Store, Best Buy, or carrier store on launch day and try to get one that way.
Got my Black Apple leather case on Friday for my Pro Max Space Gray.
Fake news. The regulars say there won't be any movement out of china todayI just got more movement it’s coming woohoo!!
I got the Apple clear case, but I carry without a case most of the time.
That’s nice mine still in origin scan stage in cn .I just got more movement it’s coming woohoo!!
I want to phones to here just as everyone im just speaking from experience the last 2 years. If they changed what they did previous years ok im all for it
Once you sign the waiver to have it left and someone steals it off your porch... it's all on you....
It's still theft, but it's a federal issue, not an Apple issue.
I just got more movement it’s coming woohoo!!

Must be on the same plane as you! I've got the same info on MyChoice.
I honestly can't believe it.
I mean, wherever it goes, it winds up sitting until Wednesday or Thursday.
