Nov 6 Deliveries - UPS Real-Time Flight Tracking

[appleguy123]

lol so I work in the city and live in a suburb about 40 minutes away. I was tracking on a map at work and realized that somehow the UPS truck with my phone was delivering to my work too. I almost asked him if he could just hand me the phone in the truck but I figured that wouldn’t be allowed.

My phone arrived! I requested a 2-hour delivery window and they were here within the first 20 minutes!!!!

Now I’m waiting for it to activate on the ATT network... it is taking FOREVER! it’s been 27 minutes. Sigh.

Well, ❤️ my X. Signing off. Let’s say we meet back here about this time next year!

Congrats! I’m still setting up... Got past activation and am now upgrading to 11.1. Godspeed!

Congrats about getting the phone.

About the performance tests - I looked at the thread and it looked like she did a compete job with different tests and different servers. But performance is also impacted by the cellular infrastructure, including the local towers. I would put more stock into testing if it involved performing tests from different locations

Glad you like it. Mine are on a UPS truck circling within blocks.

I guess after today the specific subject of the thread will be history, but it is kind of sad to lose close contact with all who were active. Maybe if there were a Nov 6 Club it might have more of a continuing purpose.

Yes. It’s been fun!

I'm currently using a Verizon 7+... will Apple actually let you just swap out one phone for another? Is exchanging different enough from the initial purchase that they don't require you to activate the new phone on the carrier it's meant for?

I had to activate my 7+ on Verizon before I could move it over to my primary T-Mobile account.

Yes, that’s true. I’ll have to activate the Verizon phone with a Verizon account (with new phone number) while at the Apple store. However, I likely be charged one month service when I cancel, so I might as well play with Verizon for a month to see what the big deal is. Don’t think I will keep them, because one line on Verizon will cost nearly as much as two lines on T-Mobile (with our special deal).

My phone arrived and I just have to wait for all the apps to download from iCloud. Tapatalk was one of the first apps to reinstall and I’m using it now on the new phone. That new tracker on ups was pretty cool. Was able to see where the truck was so I was ready when it finally came.

I'm still at work for another hour and still mine has not been delivered. WOW! I'm using the UPS tracker and it's amazing how it's all over my area but never too close to my house.
[doublepost=1510016934][/doublepost]It's at my house! Woohoo! Fun times when I get home!

lol so I tracked the UPS truck around my neighborhood and beyond for several hours. The window was 10:30-2:30. It was 2:30 and I had to take my kid to piano and pick up some groceries so I had to go out. I saw the UPS truck was coming back my way but thought I’d be able to make it home in time. While I was at the store I saw the truck moving towards my place on the tracking map so I ran 10 blocks carrying the box of kitty litter I bought (they weigh a ton!) and saw the truck out on the street. It was his last delivery of the day and I just caught him!

Typing on the X now - love it!

Hahaha, impressive! I was waiting for the part where you just missed the UPS guy-- nicely done, sir!

Good deal. I was also tracking the truck for the whole day!!! Seemed to go in circles without coming to my place. Finally I saw him coming towards my place on the map and went to the street to flag him down. He also had my Belkin wireless charger that was not supposed to be delivered until tomorrow - site said early delivery but processing not out for delivery so I wasn't sure about the charger. Regular driver called in sick and they merged two routes into a mess today, but all turned out well.

I asked him if paying extra for a 2 hour window works, or picking up at the UPS office same day. He said it sometimes backfires and delays things a day.

They are running late on many routes. So hopefully soon.

UPS told us that they had trucks out today that were just delivering phones.

 

[AndyDiamond]

Ha thanks - yeah I was waiting for that part too! Luckily it didn’t happen.

I’m gonna start a new exercise program- running carrying boxes of kitty litter!

I’m sure you could have showed him your ID

I'm loving mine, but it's still not set up. Problems updating to IOS 11.2. So had to use my NOV 3rd backup, and because it's still doing the backup I can not update. So at this time I only really have half a functioning phone here with me at work. Have to work on it more tonight. I am part of the beta program so that's caused an issue.

 

[judyg951]

I got mine last night and had everything set up easily. Just doing a backup on my old phone to make sure I don't lose anything and it will be wiped and off to where ever it goes later today.
I really like the new phone so far. Facial recognition is working well and I really like it. I get my new watch tomorrow and I'm set with all my new toys.

 

[imaginex20]

Mine did not get delivered on time. Hopefully they deliver it today

Hey I also bought the new watch this past weekend. Which one did you get? I got the Gold gps/cell.

I got the stainless gps/cell. I had it shipped to one of the Denver stores since when I ordered it the delivery was going to be when I'm there, but it came early so it's just waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow.

Very nice! Do enjoy. Is this your 2nd watch then or 1st?
