I just looked at the UPS app and it says my 13 mini is scheduled for Friday. Maybe they’ll get get it to me a day ahead?

If the past holds true any packages that are received at your local office of UPS and scheduled to be delivered on release date are specifically told not to deliver until release day. If they receive them early they have specific orders not to deliver early or release early to a customer.
 
I'm going to wait until Friday to go directly to an Apple Store. I want to trade in my current iPhone and I don't trust their mail-in subcontractor. I'd rather get the discount right in the store.

Can only speak for myself, but I've never had an issue with Apple's Trade In program or returning a phone by mail for the iPhone Upgrade Program. They are actually sent back to a local Apple Office that's less than an hour from me. When I ship them back they usually show up received the next day or 2nd day and I get my gift card or notification that my trade in is complete later that same day.

This means very little. Shipped UPS World Ease, it is delivered on the date requested by the shipper. Means nothing as to where the item is in the logistics process. A few may see it Thursday by *error*. Otherwise, it can be at your local UPS facility Tues and you won't see it until Fri.
 
I feel like there is normally one or two people who get it early it seems. Probably because the specific UPS centers and carriers for their local area dgaf about that stuff, and would rather not have an artificially-created "super busy day" at work.

So it becomes a lottery opportunity for the Instagram narcissists. Can they get theirs early so they can have that 24-48 bragging rights of having the phone before everyone else? :rolleyes:

Well, a step forward to full wear down the iPhone current design, is a step forward to the year when Apple will irremediably release it’s first foldable/flip iPhone. So, great news!
 
Pre ordered from Verizon within minutes after the sell starts. It will shipped from Indianapolis, IN.

These are 100% sure getting shipped to UPS's worldport facility in Kentucky first where they'll be held until Thursday before being shipped out for Friday delivery.
Haha, I hope my new silver iPhone Pro isn’t making an unnecessary trip to Kentucky 🇺🇸 – between 🇨🇳 and 🇬🇧 !

The dislikes are likes down under. If you want tiny updates to the specs, go ahead, give apple your money. Sheep.
ProRes with a larger sensor, way better ultra wide camera, cinematic mode video, and an upgraded processor, for the same price as previous models, is a big upgrade for me. Please give me an example of a phone upgrade on the Android side of things that has offered more in a given cycle; have you used a Samsung in the past year? 100x zoom sounds great until you use it and see the ****** noise-reduced, plastic photos you get with it. What exactly are you hoping for in terms of upgraded features? Underscreen thumbprint? Getting rid of notch? Or no, you have no actual idea of what it is you’d like to see, you just know what that whatever comes is never going to be enough for you? Go to bed now, you have school in the morning you wanker.

When the hell will Apple enable Wireless charging capable of more than 7.5W? I am tired of charging my iPhone for 4 hours and nothing has changed with the 13.
 
It's FUN to track a package, have some anticipation and look forward to getting it through the course of the week.

My father used to order something through a catalog back in the 90's (when he was still alive and catalogs were a thing) and get the ground saver shipping. His intent was to forget it was coming after a few days and then when it showed up, it was a nice surprise. Some people like that. I know I do.

Mine ships from IN like someone up thread since I ordered from Verizon. It was a free upgrade less the activation ($40) and my bill went down a whole buck, but I went from a Pro to a Pro Max. I wanted the Max anyway, so it's a wash for me. I've only kept my phone once until it was paid for. Then I upgraded it ASAP. It's just how I treat myself.

****If I placed the orders for the iPhones though Apple.com, and scheduled for pick-up in store on Friday the 24th, would I see a tracking number on the UPS website for those iPhones?****

Despite preordering through T-Mobile 6 minutes before 8 am I ended up with a shipment date of 9/28-10/5 lol! Darn it.
Ugh I pre-ordered my 6Plus through AT&T. That was when I joined this forum. I stayed in preorder limbo with a bunch of other people here for weeks. We supported and cheered each other as each person slowly painfully got their order processed and shipped. The camaraderie of that virtual line was really cool and a fond memory, even if AT&T was aggravating.

I’ve bought phones from my carrier store since then but I’ve never done another online preorder with them. Sorry your shipment has such a late fulfillment date. I hope they’re able to get it to you sooner at a convenient time. I hope you enjoy your new phone when you get it!
 
Verizon just shipped my Pro Max 256 Silver via FedEx. Stating coming from Indianapolis. Im in Cincinnati so knowing its an hour and half away is annoying. Why dont they just order and release them, why hold them?
 
Still waiting on my tracking number, been on "preparing to Ship" since Saturday. But I've got a Sept 24th delivery date so not concerned
 
I have some random FedEx package coming from India and no idea what else it could be. Any others getting it shipped from India to the US?
 
Got a UPS notification that my iPhone 13 Pro Max is shipped and will be delivered tomorrow. Preorder from Verizon.
If I get it, Ill post about it lol
Your shipment from
VERIZON


Estimated delivery
Tuesday, September 21 between 2:30 P.M. - 6:30 P.M.
 
I did my preorder on Friday and got confirmation it will be available on the 24th. I did an apple store pickup option for Friday at 10am. Order details still show processing and I have not been charged yet. Anyone have experience buying this way with Apple store pickup? Any idea when I met get charged? You'd think they would have a bulk shipment going to the apple store.


ok just checked my credit card and there is a hold on it from Apple pending the amount of the phone so looks good. Wonder when it will actually get processed.

According to this, sitting in China.
At least you got a tracking number and it left. Starting to question my Sept. 24th delivery date as mines been preparing to ship since Saturday afternoon. I thought it would have updated today but not seeing anything
