Yes. Just make sure you get there as soon as the store opens, maybe a little earlier. They will ask you if you’re trading in a device. Just bring the device you are trading in with you.

It’s not guaranteed that you will get the color/size/model you want or that you’ll even get one….but most stores have walk in stock available at store opening

This is the first time ordering in 17 years that my tracking order number came up on the UPS website using the full order number rather than my cell phone number.

Nothing for my Hermes Watch or extra Hermes bands yet. However UPS mychoice does show another tracking number which I think is for my watch because it came up on the same day I got the Apple Cash. But it’s just a number nothing more.

my cell phone number never worked for me, maybe because i buy it outright full price, unlocked etc.

Had my Apple purchase secure and locked in for release day delivery and then on Saturday Apple cancelled my order without any chance to fix. I recently switched payment methods for my ATT bill (I was buying iPhone through Apple on my ATT plan) and apparently my new method wasn't setup for auto-pay, so my monthly payment didn't go through on Friday.

Fixed the problem, but of course, Apple's website now has my configuration of the iPhone 16 Pro Max out by almost a month from release day.

Had to bite the bullet and order from ATT directly -- I hope the process is as smooth -- they claim it should get here on Friday.
 
Happy launch/delivery week everyone! :cool:

Do people already have their accessories ready to go?
Yep! Both of my cases and my screen protectors are here!

Hubby's screen protectors are here... one case being delivered tomorrow (the other not til oct!)

A to C cable for truck coming next week.

ordering C cables and pucks soon to replace all the lightning cables! lol!
 
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. :)

:) 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.
Yeah I didn’t mean to ask the same question everyone is asking too it’s a lot of posts in this thread and I visited once every few hours and it’s hard to go over every single post lol
 
I have had mixed experience with that, several times I have been allowed to pick up my stuff, and several times i’ve been sent away. These were not on iPhone Launch Day. lol But

I imagine if the timing is right it would be possible. I would not drive a great distance to test this theory.
i'm contemplating arriving a bit early.... worst case is I'll wander over to pottery barn til my time (hubby wil just LOVE that! lol!)

So, in the past when I pre-ordered for in-store pickup I would go 10 min before my assigned time and there would be 2 lines 1 to see what they have in stock and to try out the phone and 1 for pre-orders. This time I am picking up my phone at a smaller store than I usually go to which is bigger and I also need to pick up an Apple watch pre-order. if I have a time slot for one at 5 and the other at 5:15, can I go at 5 for both or can I come at 5:15 for both?
5:00 for both!

i'm in the same boat for our phone 10:45 and 11:15 (then i added a watch since I was planning on cancelling the one i had ordered to be shipped and that's not til 12:15! unfortunately i couldn't cancel the deliver one... but i'm probably not going to be here to sign for it anyways... since i'll be at apple! lol!). I plan to pick up all at 10:45 or even try for a little earlier)

Awesome! New goodies are always exciting.

Good point about the cables, I was going to wait until Friday and get them at the Apple Store but Amazon has the same Mophie cables I wanted for my car and for home and I can use my gift card credit instead. Ordered today, coming tomorrow!

Reference Number lookup:

I just looked at my UPS online account tracking and looked at the details.
Shows 6 different reference numbers attached to my tracking - I am sure some of them relate to pallet number and cargo flights but I see 2 ref # that are my order numbers - one is the complete order # and the other is less the last 2 digits.

A little confused for those who are doing ISPU. What does it mean that you were “charged”? Does that mean it shows up as Pending on the Wallet app (if you did Apple Card)?
yes.... it shows as pending..... it didn't do that on initial order... mine all showed up as pending yesterday.

For those who would like the full tracking number via the reference number and if you don’t have access to mychoice, you can call UPS international customer service and speak to a rep. When I called, I told them I had a reference number and would like to confirm the tracking number. I told them I had the last 4 digits of the tracking number. They asked for my first and last name, the address it is being shipped to and the company that is sending out the package (which would be apple). Last year, they were a mixed bag. Some said they can’t provide it due to security reasons and others provided it no problem. Here is their phone number… I can’t guarantee it will work first time but if it doesn’t, keep calling. 1-800-782-7892
