I got my tracking number from the international customer service phone number at UPS first time no issues! Which round of shipments is mine?
Glad that worked. Anyone with the Departed ZZ 6:10 PM & Arrived ZZ 6:30 PM are in Wave 2, but like I've been saying, Wave 1 & 2 will merge with each other in Anchorage and should arrive in Louisville on the same plane. :)
Same! Go Packers!
:) Yeah, you had a good game without your starting QB. My game, someone forgot to tell the defense there was a game today! :( Just pathetic. I'll give you two guesses what game that was.
 
I got a text from my credit card company that my card has been charged by Apple for the full amount of the phone. I ordered mine for pick-up at the Apple Store on Friday. I probably won't hear anything further until Thursday when Apple usually sends instructions for pick-up on Friday. I'm scheduled to pick up my phone and watch at 1PM that day. First time my card has been charged this early. No charge for my watch yet which was ordered on the 9th. I usually set up the phone and watch at the Apple Store so they can deal with any problem that might occur and I don't have to surrender my 15 Pro until I'm sure I'm satisfied with the new phone.
 
Been away all day doing fall prep. Seems a lot of people are getting their info now. Has anyone got a movement on apples side of shipping?
 
I've lined up twice: The first time was for the 3G. The second time was for the 4. The 3G year was the same year as the MobileMe debacle, so I remember lining up outside the Apple Store before 6 am. If I recall correctly, I didn't get my phone until about 2 pm. People were super frustrated and several ended up leaving. I still remember one guy going on and on about how Apple had lost "all the goodwill" they had generated over the years.

The 4 was much smoother, but I was afraid I wouldn't get the model I wanted. I didn't calm down until the specialist came down the line and asked each person for their preferred phone. We were given a sticky note or something similar. I held onto that thing for dear life until I got into the store.
There were only two models to choose from when the 4 launched. Black was the only color (white was "delayed"), AT&T was the only carrier, and the only choice was 16 GB or 32 GB.
 
Got in at 5:02am PT, Pre-ordered 1TB Black Pro.
Purchase via applepay with bankaccount, card was charged within 2-3 hrs.
Moved to "preparing to ship" same day, UPS MyChoice updated on 9/14.

I only ever lined up for one phone. The 6 plus. Couldn’t get an order placed from Apple so jumped to att. Got release date delivery. 12 hours later, they moved the date until November. So cancelled that order and decided to chance waiting in line. Closest Apple Store to me is an hour in a half away, inside a mall. Got there around 8pm the night before and they told me the mall doesn’t allow people to line up on the property until an hour before. So I went back home. Got back up at 230 am and went back down. Every where around it was packed. Ended up parking in a McDonald’s a mile away. Eventually so many people pushed on the property that they couldn’t do anything about it. So they had us form a formal line, which everyone of course ran to get into. I ended up 5th in line. Got the phone I wanted.

Glad the preorder process is so easy now.
I'm happy with the pre-order process also. People remember those earlier times waiting in line for a day/days fondly, but I know I wouldn't be thrilled doing that and would be downright unhappy if I ended up not getting a phone that day.
 
My UPS My Choice only shows basic details of the package when I track by reference. Does not allow me to see the tracking number or the tracking details. I have UPS My Choice Premium too. Anyone have any idea why? I tracked using order number as reference. Shows scheduled delivery for 9/20 but that's it.
When you open the UPS MyChoice app, does it not show the package automatically under "To Me?" Mine just populated automatically under there showing the entire tracking number and scheduled delivery date. Then you can tap on the number to see the Tracking Details.

Not OP but:
I see the package under the UPS MyChoice, but when I click on it I just get an error that says "Sorry that's a new tracking number that isn't quite in our system yet. Please try entering it again"
 
All phone are chilling at Zhengzhou, CN. Most likely at the airport for the next day or 2. If it says the 20th you should be good to go. Tracking eventually will show up on the UPS My Choice page...
The next scan for Wave 2 should be around tomorrow afternoon/early evening showing Departure from ZZ approximately 4:30 AM 9/17 & then Arrival in Incheon, KR around 7:30 AM (3 hours later). I'm taking this from my scans last year and I'm assuming the flights will be pretty similar considering the scans so far are pretty close to last year's times.

No, and you won't until the phones clear customs in Louisville... that's when Apple changes the status to "shipped"... until then, they're just "preparing to ship".

Do you get that when you are searching by reference number? That sounds like what I was getting when I was searching for it. Then it just showed up overnight automatically in MyChoice under the "To Me" tab.

When I search by reference number I get the last 4 digits that it seems like a lot of people are getting, but under the "To me" Tab is when I get that error code. I have 3 different packages being sent to me and get that error when I try all 3. No clue what the other 2 would be since I didn't order anything else from Apple, but all 3 give me that same error, and I assume 1 is my phone

Correct - may show landing for fuel in ICN & ANC prior to customs at SDF.

I'll be tracking on Flight Aware....

I'd maybe call International Customer Service and see if they can help with that. Not sure why it would automatically put three things under your To Me tab causing an error message.

I will see if anything happens tomorrow and will have to give them a call if I don't get anything.
 

I lined up for my first iPhone, a 3g, and can remember the AT&T store limiting each customer to one phone.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, White Titanium, ISPU Sept. 20
I remember getting to AT&T store in Lanham, MD around noon on June 29th, 2007 (my work at the time let me leave early for this). I walked in and asked the manager where the line would be forming. He said he had no idea, so I just started waiting outside by the door. The store closed between 4:30 and 6:00, then reopened, letting people in five at a time. I was first in and first out, and the line of about 70 people cheered me. It was a truly geeky moment. Turned out the store only had 40 phones, so some had to come back.

I showed my beautiful new phone to the owner of the company I worked for then and he immediately had his GM cut me a check for $300, half the cost of the iPhone. Pretty good guy.

One year I actually called Apple and was able to get the delivery changed from Maryland to Utah while the phone was in Louisville. It was a miracle.

Oh no, Cowboys!? Haha.
I’m in wave 2 I guess, also!
