iPhone 7 Plus Shipped!

[Nde]

Seems to of been movement on almost every model except the Jet Blacks

128GB JB Plus
3:03 conformation
Still Processing

Don't give up hope. I know last year, Apple stock up a plane load 1-2 weeks before release in US. If I remember correctly, and I can be wrong, I believe last year Apple had a stock pile locked up at major UPS hubs. Ready to ship Next Day Air. Good luck.

so carrier shipped phones are already stateside, however Apple shipped phones come direct from china?

my iPhone 7 ordered through VZW shows fedex origins in PA.

Apple has waaaaay more phones to deal with, and since they are the supplier they can do a lot of the logistics work in China.

How come my 7+ black T-Mobile (unlocked) with delivery on the 16 is still at ZhengZhou, China?? ;(

Don't worry, it'll be here friday.

I figured that but was seeing people reporting theres were already in Kentucky and my delivery date is 9/16.

That just means ours will be sitting around in Kentucky for a couple days until yours and everybody else's catches up.

Well, apparently mine touched down in Korea and is heading to Alaska next.

Hubby

Doubt it. They will probably be loaded up in the morning on planes (unless your in KY will prob just go on trucks) to everyone's nearest airport than to the hub where it will sit until Friday.

If they do it like last year... it will sit there and all the phones will go out overnight Thursday night! Much easier to control when they are all in one spot.

If your tracking shows departure from Incheon, Korea, then this is your plane with your iPhone onboard.

Not sure... but from what was posted previously... apple has some that are staged here in the states.... I'm thinking ours are both coming from here since I don't have tracking info yet.... I have support profile info for both now... but no tracking....

 

[joeptp]

Also to track a flight, simply visit the website, https://flightaware.com.

Then input the Origin and Destination locations and it will give you a list of planes in that route. Simply choose to see only UPS (United Parcel Services) planes on the right menu and you will find the plane your item should be on.

So now for those who are on the plane UPS99 and the plane lands, you can do a search from Anchorage, AK to Louisville, KY, choose UPS planes, and that will be your new plane.

Mine is onboard. That's cool being able to track it like that.

Mine is on that plane.

 

[oftheheavens]

Think i am more excited about my BSS with link gen 2 watch or this new iPhone. Reviews for the phone are starting to show up and they are all pretty good but haven't seen any of the watch yet.


EDIT: more on topic my iPhone has shipped according to tmobile.

You're on your way!

EXACTLY!
That's what mine did last time. It just sat there for days and then finally jammed on the last day to my doorstep. HA!

Question, is it safe to change the delivery now? I'm having it held at the hub and was waiting until it was at least state side.

I always think you are taking your chances when you do something like that.
They are dealing with soooo many phones that a chance of a mishap is possible.
Up to you of course, but if it were me, I wouldn't unless absolutely necessary.

And that's my fear but countless people do it. Especially since the hub is the one it has to go through before it is dispatched for delivery so all they have to do is leave it there.

I did it last year with no problems and just did it again a few minutes ago. I'm picking it up at my local UPS Customer Center.

Where is your phone now?

It left Korea.

 

[mgmusicman94]

Mine left Korea at 12:45 AM local time. Can't find a corresponding flight.. Unless it's on UPS99 and was just updated late on UPS's side.

It's not an issue. When the local UPS warehouse or Kentucky hub scans in all the packages they'll get an alert to slap on a delivery change label and once it gets to the destination it'll be put in a "Pick Up" cage instead of on a truck. They do this all the time.

yeah there wont be an issue at all with this process, people do it all the time. if I didn't have the service that my apartment complex provides of them leaving it in the leasing office in a locked room and I come pick it up when I get off, I would do the same thing.

Now if only Apple kept the same serial number format, we could see what week our phones were built!

 

[snsking]

How are people getting their tracking numbers via UPS with the reference number?

apparently if you ordered directly through apple, you can use your phone number or order number (possibly minus the last 2 digits) as the reference number to track via UPS

 

[Harvest59]

I just found mine through my HOME phone number so if you don't see yours by typing in your cell phone number, type in your order number INCLUDING THE W, but omitting the final two digits.

So if your order is W123456789

Search for W1234567

My order number is only 5 digits with no W. my order location begins with a D do you know what location that is
