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

[BrightCanon]

It worries me that 14 hours after ordering they haven’t chArged taxes or anything to my card

I had my phone for a week before they charged me before. It’ll happen.

The Belkin glass screen protector states it uses the Ion exchange process that Apple uses to strengthen their glass. That’s new, no?

11 Pro Max 256gb Midnight Green is now gone to “preparing to ship”. I’m in Ontario Canada

Which screen protectors are you talking about from Best Buy?

The Best Buy brand - Armor Edge

I recommend you go to the store and buy there rather than order. Pay for them to install. If they mess up the install, they will get another one and reinstall. Keep a copy of the receipt or link it to your Best Buy account where they can look you up.

Have you ever used Spigen's screen protectors before? I'm all about the cheap guys because mine always get damaged.

IMO glass is glass is glass. Its tempered glass for all of them. I've noticed through a lot of them that there seem to be only a few designs/factories making them. I wouldnt be shocked if the $3 a piece were from the same factory as the $30 ones.

I just got a 3 pack of edge to edge (cant remember if theyre 2.5D or 3D types) on Amazon for $7.99. I cant see spending $30-50 on one from a big box store.

You could replace it every 2 months for a fresh clean one for a year and still be way ahead on cost. And i've found the decent cheap ones last easily 6-8 months or more; and that is just because I get dust as the edges that bothers me, not a mechanical failure.

The phones fly out of CGO in Zhengzhou (at least my Xs Max did last year). Nothing to do with HKG airport.

Some of them still do. Mine went from
Shenzhen to HK last year.

Looking at my order on the Apple store I noticed it says “We’ll update your delivery date when your order is preparing to ship”. That gives those of us with dates after 9/20 some hope that the date will move up next week.

Waiting on the phone to appear in UPS My Choice, the series 5 watch is there, arrived at Shanghai is the most recent status. I tried changing delivery to a UPS location, but that changed the date from 9/20 to 9/23, so I didn’t do it...frustrating! And for the life of me I can’t get the UPS CC to show up in the list of locations to choose from.
I hope the iPhone shipment lets me select the CC...
Does anyone know if the watch/phones require a signature? I don’t see anything about it requiring one for the watch...

I had to sign for my watch last year.

Did you do an in-store pick up or for delivery?

Anyone have luck tracking by order number?

Exactly what I’ve been doing with my X for the past 2 years. Already ordered a $8 pack this morning and I think I’m going to order the Spigen too.

We go through this every year. You’ll be fine.

Upgrading from my 6 Plus after like 5 years. I really wanted to wait until next year but this phone is just way too slugish for even the simple tasks.

Ordered the 11 Pro Max 256gb Green for pick up on the 20th at 5th Ave NYC store. It's also a day before I leave for a week long trip to Paris and Amsterdam. Can't wait to test out the new camera.

I used to do that too but I suck at installing and the air bubbles bother the hell out of me, I end up using more than one trying to get it perfect. I’d rather pay someone to install it and if they screw up, which they rarely do because they do so many, it’s on them.

Weird how ones marked for after launch day are preparing to ship sooner than launch day ones

The launch day once might already be in the country

The ones I’ve been buying for X come with an alignment tool. You put the plastic jig on the phone and drop the screen protector on and it lines it up perfect every time. The one I ordered for the 11 pro also comes with an alignment install tool.

Wut?

Pick up. My friend who did pick up on the iUP same as me, got charged immediately. I didn’t get charged at all.

FWIW I have had great luck with:

TETHYS Glass Screen Protector Designed for Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max/iPhone Xs Max (6.5") [Edge to Edge Coverage] Full Protection Durable Tempered Glass [Guidance Frame Included] - Pack of 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQY28GR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xkfFDbFRDA5NA

I did a pick up option for my iUP as well. From my understanding, this is a hit or miss but some do a random pending charge but gets dropped off. As for the in-store pick up option, normally they do the actual charge the night before the launch day. I had this happen to me 2 years in a row, where nothing showed on my credit card, but on Friday morning, the charge did show up on my credit card statement.

I have to go to work. I can pick up the phone between 8-8:30 and then just go to work. Best all-around deal.

same thats why i did Apple store too.

Am I the only crazy one that takes a personal day on Launch Day?

I did too

Nope. My second year and I’m going to keep the tradition. I’m such a nerd I take it as a celebratory day and watch reviews and stuff that day while I track UPS!
