Hello all!

So my iPhone X has been stuck in ZhengZhou, China for 3 days now...Is that normal? Is UPS holding them there?

i noticed the same thing about both of our phones.... and no... i don't remember this happening other years (except with my phone during typhoon-gate last year!) of course.... none of my phones have ever "shipped" so soon after ordering either.... in past years they didn't ship until around this time (a few days prior to delivery).
 
Last year my iPhone 7 went back and forth and even got delayed to Saturday....At first UPS said that it would be delivered on Monday but then Apple got in touch with UPS and said to make sure you delivered those iPhones on Saturday.
 
This happened with my iPhone 7 too, I think it was there until 1-2 days before it was supposed to arrive.
 
My two Phones are also stuck there and has we get closer to Friday I’m getting more and more unease about it not moving

What if our phones are in a huge semi and it got lost? Stolen? Forgotten? Things that I think about. I was thinking that by today we should start seeing movement but nada
 
Happened last year with my 7 Plus.
iPhones all sitting together on shipping containers, 100s of thousands of em. Will be loaded onboard cargo aircraft departing for Alaska very soon. All part of JIT, Just in Time delivery used by all manufacturers and delivery companies.
 
Looks like my iPhone has departed ZhengZhou about an hour ago. Not sure where it's heading next.
