Well my iPhone has arrived at the last sorting facility an hour away. From there it will go to my CC where I will pick it up. So I’m off to bed and will post pics tomorrow after work.

Been a good one this week with everyone happy iPhone day!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee my phone has arrived at my local shipping hub. I will be waiting all day tomorrow but it will be worth it!!!!
 
Thank you both!
I think the devices are smarter these days. I replaced my phone recently, iCloud restore, and it asked me if I wanted to use my "old" watch with the new phone. I said yes and it seemed pretty much done with the sync at that point.

So I'd iCloud restore the old phone's backup to the new phone, and at a point it'll ask about the watch it knows based on the restore. Say yes to moving its pairing to the new phone and it's all set. Then open the new watch next to the new phone and it'll recognize there is a phone there that is synced to a watch. It'll ask if you want to use the old watch data/setup on the new watch, say yes. That might take a bit longer to do that sync. There is probably some passcode entering, and perhaps a scan of one device by another, but it tells you everything it wants you to do.

Based on the tedious processes of several years ago and doing all those "unpair and new pair" procedures, I would not want to do that again!

One of the really cool things about watchOS6 is that when the next update comes out for the watch, go to settings on the Watch-Settings>General>Software Update, and as long as the watch is on the same wifi as the phone it'll be able to download directly to the watch via wifi instead of (apparently) bluetooth from the phone to the watch, and the update will be complete in 10 minutes- this assumes respectable wifi speed, over 50% charge on the watch, and the watch placed into the charger for the update process.

What once was painfully slow and arduous is so much better with the current versions of iOS and watchOS!

Have fun!

PS I had planned to cancel my watch order for pickup at the Apple Store tomorrow, but maybe I'll have to keep it so that I can do these steps to make sure I got them right. :😁:

I received an iPhone 7 from AT&T, for adding a line. However I am going to return it.

Found an interesting entry in my tracking from when it left China. I’ve never seen this before, and I’ve been pre-ordering iPhones since the 4.

My phone left Louisville at 7 PM, should be marked as arriving in Ohio any minute now. :)

EDIT: Right after sending this, I got a push notification from the Wallet app that I was just hit by Citizens One for my first 11 Pro Max payment on my AMEX. I’m in iUP.

Yeah, ups contracts out to other cargo carriers when they can’t handle the volume like this. My phone came from China to Anchorage on an Atlas cargo flight.
