Same. I'm guessing we'll see updates in our support profiles and UPS some between this evening and tomorrow afternoon. But that doesn't stop me from constantly checking. Lol. I can't help thinking that this is gonna be a little like Christmas morning as a kid after all the gifts have been unwrapped. What do I have to look forward to then? lol
Lol right. I'm going to a football game this evening and can see it now....sitting at the game not looking at the game eating up my data checking for a status update for my phone LOL!
 
I have a matte black att 256gb... got confirmation at 1:09am pst... still no change on it... is someone in the same boat ???

I'm pretty sure the factories in China shut down for at least 24 hours. It was a national holiday and there were no flights out of China for over 24 hours. First flight out just left about 2 hours ago since the shut down. This would explain why some have been preparing to ship for over a few days and lack of phones showing up in support profiles.

Interesting insight
 
You ordered hours after me and I'm still processing!!!

Did you order a Silver iPhone? Because He did, and for the record, this morning even my closest Apple Store had those in stock... so maybe that's why his phone is on its way already. Black and JB owners are not that lucky

No I did not and I already knew that, but I felt the need to complain a little cause I just woke up from a nap....:D

haha it's ok, I'm in the same boat... My iPhone+ 128 Black is still processing for 4/10 - 10/10... And my first choice was a Jet Black that is showing November, so :rolleyes:...

PS: I just can't get use to write dates the American way :p
 
I did the pre-order last 9th Sept (black matte iPhone+ 128Gb). i live in Germany and the estimated shipping is for next 5th-11th October. Today my brother decided to buy a silver iPhone+ 128Gb. His shipping is for next 12th-18th October.... and reading the post I guess he will receive the phone before me ;)

It's already 4:42 a.m. tomorrow in Beijing, China. When does their national holiday end?
 
Ok, so by now we all know that all the iPhone flights from China, go to Anchorage... but these are only for the US, right? Anyone knows where do they go/how to track those to Europe? https://es.flightaware.com/live/iphone seems to show only the first ones (to US).

I remember my Apple products coming from Milan or Köln in the past.
 
I'm just guessing but it probably ended at midnight and that's why planes started moving after they were loaded. Means it's now Sunday there that makes sense to me at least.

Makes sense to me too. So when do phones get matched to orders? In China or in Alaska?

I'm not 100% on this but I believe the phones get matched by apple and then the order for the specific phone is processed at the factory. After the phone is made, it is matched to the order for serial number etc and then it's loaded into your support profile.
