My phone is with yours. Same notification. Any chance its coming straight here? Or going to Hong Kong first?
That makes sense, but I don't get why I would have a departure scan from Korea then.

My guess, total guess, is that you are taking the normal flight UPS99 this morning to Anchorage. The others were moved to Hong Kong because there were too many to get out in just the flights that they had going from Korea to Anchorage.
#294
So, let me get this straight:
If I see the model I am seeking at a local Apple Store, what should I do with my current order? I am going through AT&T Next, and I cannot reserve the phone through Apple's website because it says AT&T Next is not available.
Should I just reserve the phone via "Paid in Full" method, or does that make me paid in full right then and there? Or does that just reserve it and then I tell them in store that I need to cancel my original preorder for the in-store phone?
Or do I simply just cancel my preorder via Apple website, and then I can automatically reserve the new phone under Next plan?

While I got a departure scan from Korea an hour ago, while my dads phone also got one but an hour and some minutes before mine (stupid) so I'm probably watching two separate UPS flights
My Wife's iPhone would disagree with you

Kind of think for anyone saying UPS has no idea what they're doing... the proof that they do is right here. This is the NORM, not the exception for UPS. Considering ZhengZhou China is 12 hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone, this particular phone left China on 9/19 4:28 AM Eastern and arrived in Georgia on 9/20 at 3:57 PM Eastern. Just about 36 hours from one side of the planet to the other.
For those who are stressing, take notice that arrival in Anchorage was 4:15 PM Eastern to delivery in Georgia just 24 hrs later.

Same no departure scanFellow 1:05 ZZ- no departure scan yet for me
I just got off the phone with Apple... they insisted that the UPS tracking information is incorrect and that I will still receive my phone today. The guy says he shows that some people received them yesterday even though it was showing as being in China... so we will see I guess.
Or taking into account time zone differences, which is I guess being able to fly backward in time.
Would this be true for people who got Hub pick up...? Cause mine is on route to AK.
And apple delivery is today

Same here.
Honestly I'm not that impatient and this has been a fun ride tracking the phone all over the place.
I don't believe this at all.

For those of you that forgot or for new people. We have a tracking spreadsheet going to try and figure out the madness behind where these phones are. Update if you would like: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y15wtBvvzk_bfFtb_sAOiT59s5CwdfaXcHla381HRO4/edit?usp=sharing
I really hope this is true! Thankfully I don't have classes today so I'll be home.
All of those with 7:12 and 7:28 departures should be on the the 7:29 departing UPS63 to Anchorage.
Recently doesn't count... what does is the weather AT THE TIME of departure (unless there was an ATC weather hold which there wasn't) and what's forecast along the route. So you're going to go with USAToday over the weather applications used by UPS and every other aviation dispatch center?
I have the qualifications to make those statements, you don't... just sayin'
Ok, why would "doing the right thing" for Apple and UPS be to complimentary upgrade all of these phones to Saturday delivery? Especially when they're already going to make or beat the original delivery window?
Typhoon in China. People have died. Planes get delayed.
But do the right thing and get me my iPhone on Saturday because I can't wait until Monday.
