Go into the Apple Store after launch day and see if they have one you buy on the spot.

16 Pro 256 Black. I wasn't able to order until Sunday. Staring at October 3-8 for delivery. I leave for a 2 week trip on October 4, so I'm really hoping for the 3rd or sooner!
I'd suggest going early to Apple Store on Launch Day, there is a dedicated line for walk ins, they can help cancel the order if you are able to get something while in the store.
 
It does not look like a flight to Canada. It is going from ANC to ONT (Ontario, California) for West Coast USA deliveries. Did your tracking number start in Kunshan City and then Shanghai?

I didn't think it was a flight to Canada. Canadian orders will go to UPS' Louisville facility before heading into Canada. I assumed it would go to Louisville from Anchorage. I do see what you mean given the upcoming flight listed is to Ontario, CA. I didn't notice, so maybe it's not this flight.

Yes. My tracking number started in Kunshan and traveled to Shanghai, where it's been sitting since the 14th until a departure scan in Shanghai at 23:30 local time. I guess I'll see where it ends up from here.
 
I had my alarm set for preorders and the one time it doesn’t go off is for the iPhone preorder so I didn’t get my Pro Max 256gb Dessert Titanium in until 9:46am EST, nearly two hours after the preorder began. It’s been stuck at a Oct 7 - Oct 14 delivery date but I know in the past some orders would get pushed up and make it to launch delivery. Think there is any chance with a Oct 7 - Oct 14 delivery date that it actually gets here Sep 20? I keep checking in store pickup and seems all of the stores in Miami are out of the Max’s.
double and even triple alarms/alarm times set for important events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a hard lesson learned!

There is a developer 18.1 specifically for the new phones so that you'd be able to move your current 18.1 to the new phone.

I'd have to upgrade the new one to 18.1, and honestly, I just want to get in the store, get my SIM moved, take care of the trade in and get out.
 
Got an update that it’s left the facility. Anyone else? Any info of perhaps a flight?

I'm also part of the 1:35am departure crew for one of my phones while the other is probably wave 2.

Guessing it's on the way to Incheon before it catches a flight tomorrow.
