Just to torture myself, I headed over to the local Apple store (15 minutes away) and asked if they had any black 128gb 7+'s in stock. They had just sold the last one but did have silver. I decided to wait for the black, but if one shows up (they get multiple shipments per day) I'm going to reserve it and go that route.
 
No, I'm stuck in the "Pkg shipped; delivery being scheduled" group without any news about it. Still not sure if that message is a good thing or a bad thing.

Apple had me scheduled for 9/26 delivery, so I'm going to guess I'm net getting mine tomorrow, but I hope everyone that had a 9/23 delivery date does at least.
I have the same message. I feel like since I didn't get the mechanical delay message, that my package wasn't even going to make it on the flight today anyway. But who knows. If I don't get it Monday though, like Apple says, then I'm gonna be pissed.
 
Here is a new screen shot... looks difrent then the last one... I've also seen the time change by 1 minuet... so it's being updated..

But look at what it says for Updated time... It was last updated 10.5 hours ago... It's showing where the plane SHOULD be...

I'm pretty sure that's just an estimated location, but I hope you're right.
 
Anyone got a UPS flight number for flights from Zhengzhou to Incheon? I see no UPS flights between these two cities in the few flight trackers I have checked.
 
I'm thinking the scans won't happen until Louisville....
I thought that too, but others have had Anchorage scans.

Either way, UPS is saying the scans are all wrong right now so if that's true, who knows what's going to happen.

Depending on Google's flight info is definitely not the way to go, especially when that info is outdated by over 10 hours. UPS99 never left Korea. Look in the earlier pages of this thread from today. The plane never took off. UPS99 disappeared from the flight list due to some sort of delay, and then it was just gone from departures. Never seen in the air on ANY flight tracking site or service.

I'm moving on. that data is 10 hours old. The phone will get here when it gets here. But this 801 group... I don't think we are in Korea

Those of us in the 8:01 group. Common sense would tell me that we are not in Korea anymore. I just don't see why our phones wouldn't budge for 2 days. There has to be some other explanation. I am hoping they are indeed stateside and just no scans. *Praying I get it tomorrow as I was quoted!

I am going to hope they have indeed moved and the scans are just way behind....suddenly we will see they are here! #icanhope

Next flight is tomorrow morning (tonight Korea time)

UPS 6099


I'm trying not to get my hopes up for missed scans. The vast majority of tracking I've seen for iPhone 7's have been scanned at every leg of the journey.
 
Oh wow. First and only evidence of this flight in the air! Nice find!
Chrome won't allow me to go to that page, do other planes that are supposed to be in the air show as scheduled? Seems like it should show departed or something like that instead.

That's because there is nothing to update... it's on time... it only gets updated if a change or delay is reported... the ETA does change even if it doesn't list an update... same thing yesterday...
 
Saw an interesting thing said in the main MR article thread:

"I think it's adorable how people think they're tracking "their" phone.
Lol, it's like going to get the $10 you deposited in your bank account & being shocked the bill you got doesn't have the phone # you remember writing on it.
With a shipping of this volume- MASS amounts are sent out to major population areas. Then they can slap a label on yours @ the last point possible.
This type of flexibility allows your shipping times to reduce seemingly impossible amounts. It also can make it appear as if your shipment is bouncing all over, as the logistics software updates your item to be delivered from a DIFFERENT batch."

The above makes sense given that Apple seems to be confident that we will get our phones tomorrow. They have other phones stateside that they can "deem" ours.

Only thing that doesn't make sense is that if you go to your support profile you should see your iPhone 7 Plus with serial number listed among your other Apple purchases that come with support. You think that serial number will change as we get closer to actually getting delivery? I don't agree.

Yesterday's flight was delayed by an hour I believe.

Look at my screen shot. It has both scheduled and actual for both take off and landing. It's definitely in the air.
