Well...I am seriously thinking about just going to my carrier..US Cellular and buy the sim-free IPhone XS Max 64 gig space grey, then just send the one i ordered from Apple back. Since they have them in stock right now. I mean I could have in my hands within 15 minutes instead of wondering where and when the one I ordered will arrive.

Anticipation is over half the fun! :)

Lol I know...it would be different if things were working properly..like tracking etc...it appears as if my phone is still in the clearing stage..for over 24 hours? I have a tentative delivery date of the 24th..so it’s not set in stone..I could have it my hands while everyone is still waiting....believe me I’m trying to wait it out...but the not knowing is getting to me. :D
 
I guess at 49 I'm finally acting like an adult. I did order as soon as the apple store opened for me at about 12:05am pdt (TM sg 256 max) now scheduled tentatively for delivery on Monday, and I'm fine with it. There was a time though where if I didn't have it on launch day, like for the original, 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6+, 6s+, 7+ & the X, I was totally depressed. I'm proud of myself.
 
Soo i just went to the apple store and fell in love with the Gold XS Max. I got a 256 one as a walk in. They had more than enough in stock. :)
looks like ill be returning the one thats on its way to me :)
the Gold looks amazing!
 
If you buy as walk in today, do you still get to use your IUP?

Would love to know this too since I'm on iUP and waiting for my phone to come in as well. Though, I'm inclined to say no since it'll probably show upgrade pending unless you cancel the order. Can't even cancel the order since it's shipped already.

i was starting a new IUP in any case with the preorder. They signed me up for a new new one in the store, and Citizen's one used the same check they had done a week ago (so no new pull).

I'll return the one I get on Tuesday and cancel that plan.

Okay, just to make sure I understand this correctly. You are on iUP but will pay off the previous loan so you don't have to return the previous phone. Correct?
 
I can't believe it's still in ZZ.
They even got rid of the delivery schedule.
What is "agency review" anyway? The customs clearance isn't supposed to happen till its in the US right?

Apparently, these sort of messages don't mean much. The scans are not in order, or complete. There's no orderly path of movement.

Next scan maybe the USA or, what country you're in. This year seems to be a bit different.
 
Mine has arrived in ZZ again. I think from here it goes to a plane! So my wife's phone and my phone are at the same place even though hers got there a day ago, lol.

Its nice that your scans are in order. According to this the last scan was at 11 PM which makes sense.
Mine updated much later and it appeared that it was time traveling. Buggy tracking.

I agree with you on that. I feel like the excitement has finally worn off after 8 years. Ordered mine around 19:30 EST last Friday and it says it will be here Monday next week and I really don't have any issues with it at all.

My wife's UPS tracking is all messed up like most peoples lol.
 
Our phones are traveling at very similar rates! Except my last entry came 30 mins after yours.


Same for me... but why are all the timestamps out of order? the clearance is being timestamp before the arrival scan which was posted last night... doesn't seem like UPS tracking is very accurate at the moment.

Also if Delivery is Scheduled for Monday, I'm wondering if I did hold for pickup if that would be available tomorrow.

I wouldn’t do it ... someone did that in the other thread and his phone was available 3 days later for pick up... patience..... this time next week we will be heavily involved with our phones.
