I looked at past iPhone order screenshots and for ones out of ZhengZhou the typical route was Incheon, Anchorage, Louisville. The Shenzen ones seemed to go through Hong Kong, and sometimes Taiwan. So it seems the Incheon flights are the ones to watch.

edit: next Incheon to Anchorage flight lands in about 40 minutes.
 
My 2:55 finally has some progress.....

On the manage deliveries page on the UPS app went from Order Processed: Ready for UPS to in transit despite the 2:55 PM arrival scan.

/ducks and covers from the objects thrown at me from other 2:55 guys wanting real progress to be shown. :D
Mine just updated from Order Processed: Ready for UPS to In Transit as well
 
This is where I currently sit for reference:
6:02 AM MST preorder
6:03 AM MST confirmation email
Shipping to Montana
512 GB iPhone 11 Pro Max Midnight Green Sim Free Unlocked
334dfd4c-b516-4c00-931c-a55d4f0d5619-jpeg.859355

That's the same tracking history I have. Same phone, as well. Shipping to The O.C.

Can you show those screenshots so people can stop freaking out about their phone not moving

I was trying to decide if that was a good or bad idea haha. I didn't want anyone to see a Louisville or Anchorage pop up under tracking and freak out because I don't think I've seen any here yet for 2019 phones. Some of these moved all over the place though. Moral of the story is the tracking in Asia is very unpredictable.

edit: I think waiting for this next flight to hit and see if any tracking start updating with an Anchorage arrival is best. I feel like they get to Anchorage today, then Louisville tonight. Then Wednesday they start travelling to the respective regional hubs, Thursday they are moving to the local places, then Friday is delivery. Caveat: I'm not a UPS employee or anything so this is just based on what I've seen tracking things in the past. One tracking I saw had a 9/19 delivery and it left Anchorage the night of 9/16. So assuming a 3 day head start, they should be leaving tonight 9/17 from Anchorage to arrive 9/20.

This is what mine looked like last year for the XS Max... I didn’t take any screenshots after Louisville apparently.

Weird. Mine has always said in transit in my app. 2:55 arrival scan was the last scan.
 
People don’t always use their own photos on here for obvious reasons. Could just be a fan of scarlet which is more likely.
I dont think so haha i think they’re really serious about pretending to be that person, they said thank you to compliments about the person in the photo as if they were them. And continued to charade even when the persons real insta was posted lol just look at yayareallivins post history in this thread it was kinda unhinged over a phone.
 
Date is still tentative too but I feel confident it will still come Friday.

Does that one contain :55 scan

Mine did the same I don’t have a 2:55 scan just the 9am Zhengzhou arrival but mine now says in transit when before it was order processed ready for ups. Also tentative has gone away and now shows “on time”. Leads me to believe there is more movement and tracking going on than what we can actually see.
 
I forgot 9/21 was launch day last year I was like how did yours not get imported until 9:28 and make it
No worries. Last year phone got to Anchorage on a Tuesday and to Louisville on a Thursday. Left Louisville Thursday afternoon and got to Billings, MT Thursday night. Short flight overnight from Billings to Kalispell, MT late Thursday PM/Friday AM and then at my door about 4:00 Friday afternoon (we have a big delivery area).

Would be nice to get an actual confirmation on RAM amount, but that's Apple for you. Just going to walk into an Apple store around noon on launch day and grab a 256gb Pro Max in space gray. Had no problems last year doing the same since everyone wanted gold last year, and I imagine it'll be the same with green this year.
Did you see the poll? Space Gray is a close second to the green?
 
I opted for store pick up on friday, but this preorder feels so uneventful. No shipping updates, no flight tracking, no ups my choice notification, the most exciting thing so far was the credit card charge. I know I'm going to have my phone at 830 on release day but next year I'm definitely doing delivery, or at least having it held at a ups store so I don't miss out on the fun

Your not missing much. Even us delivery people aren’t getting much in terms of tracking.
