No. If you have a tracking number showing up on UPS now, that's what the number will be forever.
Mine also arrived in Chek Lap Kok. I did a bit of research on FlightAware and it appears that this is our flight:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CPA51/history/20171101/0020Z/ZHCC/VHHH
It's a Cathay Pacific Cargo 747, which departed from ZhengZhou (CGO) at 9:08 a.m. local time (corresponds with the 8:45 am departure scan) and arrived at Chek Lap Kok (HKG) at 11:07 a.m., which corresponds to the 11:23 a.m. arrival scan.
Looks like our precious cargo will be transferred to another plane, as the next scheduled run for this flight is from Shanghai to ZhengZhou.
Update:
The following two flights (a Polar Air Cargo and a UPS) departed from HKG at around 8 p.m. local time and are currently en route to ANC. The final destination for the UPS flight is Louisville and North Kentucky International for the Polar Air.

It's not live. It took hours for the departure scan to show up when my two left China yesterday, and when it left Alaska last night.No departure scan yet from Hong Kong... So guess not on UPS59...

It's possible that the pallets just didn't get scanned. They can be on either PAC948 or UPS63 (see my post above).
True True..... Just my experience with past iPhone launch day orders, the departure scans have been fairly close to being live if not maybe 30 minutes-1 hour delayed. So we shall see. Maybe the system is delayed due to the quantity being shipped.
Weird. Ordered to Xs to be here 11/3. One went from china to Anchorage, and the other went from china to Hong Kong (which is where it's still at atm). I've never had one make a stop there before. Interesting
It's been said, after obsessing on tracking my phone every 15-45 min on previous pre-orders, I'd notice "WHY IS IT STUCK IN CHINA??!" It should start to move by today - if it hasn't already. Heads to Alaska, then to the mainland states to your front door on Friday (or wherever your final destination may be)
IMO, the speed from 1/2 way around to the world in a few days - when all looked bleak...was quite impressive.

Helps when China is a full day ahead of most of the United States. Flight can leave Zhengzhou on 10/31 and get to Alaska on 10/30.
Still no arrival scan from last night's flight from ANC to SDF.
Same here, last update was departure Anchorage at 4:30pm yesterday.
Same for me. I was wondering why people were assuming just because it left China it was headed for the US. I saw this same thing before the last time I preordered from Apple (for the iPad 2). I'm not worried about it at all since things move quickly once they are in the US.
And departure scan! Probably on CPA3284 riding in style in a new fancy 747-8F.

Yup, I was just looking at that as well. CPA3284 is the only flight that took off for ANC at the time of the departure scan. Gorgeous plane, too!
Got the same update!!
10:51 PM ... 11:10 PM departure... looks like this is the plane!!!

Gol dangit! It's 43 minutes LATE. WTF!!!
Not on my end...Still showing: Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 11/01/2017 10:51 P.M. Departure Scan
My iphone x departed HK @10:51 pm. Tracking flight https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CPA3284/history/20171101/1430Z/VHHH/PANC
Side note: Yep, CV-6 should have been made a museum.
[doublepost=1509560959][/doublepost]Fairly pointless to take the tracking too seriously now. Apparently, mine left Anchorage, even though it never arrived
