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.
I also have an October 7-14 window. From what I’ve read around the internet it seems it could come early but I highly doubt it will be here by launch day. Mine has not even moved to preparing to ship yet. No charge on my card or any indication from ups. Chances are unbelievable slim it comes that early.
 
No it doesn't.. I have to actually search under tracking by reference to find it and even then it shows with a masked tracking number and only the status of "Scheduled Delivery: Friday, September 20, 2024"
I've not been on here much so far today, but I wanted to ask if anything changed so far today for you in the app?
 
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.
Right that's what I thought you were guessing it would go to SDF and yes normally Canada deliveries mostly hit SDF but that's why I noted it's final destination of Ontario California. Keep an eye out for maybe a scan in ANC to offload some Cargo to go on to SDF.

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 have seen a couple of references that indicated iPhone 16 units that have a SIM tray are being assembled in Kunshan City which would cover your Canada models.

Anything is possible, so I hope you get it earlier!

double and even triple alarms/alarm times set for important events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a hard lesson learned!

I set an alarm for 4:45AM but it’s like my body KNEW it was iPhone preorder time and woke me up at 4:38AM lol

I'm an old guy... haven't used an alarm clock in 40 years or so... I always wake up early for any events - phone pre-orders, flights, meetings, etc. It just happens. :D

What happened to Anchorage? I thought they went from ZZ to Incheon to Anchorage to Lousiville. I’ve been in this forum every year for years but what do I know, maybe I’m wrong. In any case, they‘ll all get to us on Sept 20 if that’s what we were promised, with almost no exceptions.
I'm probably answering this and someone else has already commented, but yes, it will go through those places. If you're in the 6:30 PM ZZ latest scan group (Wave 2), then I'm anticipating based on last years' scans, that we will see movement both departing ZZ & Arriving Incheon, KR later this afternoon or evening. I was in this same wave last year where my scan times so far were very similar and then the next scan showed up, that I noticed, at 6:00 PM what would be today showing scans two days after the original date scan in the early AM (4:34 AM Departing ZZ & 7:25 AM Arriving Incheon, KR). So we'll see how close those times are when they finally appear.
 
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
Yeah, I know, I'm trying to catch up on reading these, but I'm not able to be on here as much today, so a bit behind and probably answering things that have already been commented on, but if you're talking directly to me, I'm answering those. :)

Seeing how excited everybody here is for the new iPhone is cool. I'm getting the 16 PM and decided to check out these forums and made an account with all the hype, lol—cool tips on how to track your phone.
Welcome!!! This thread in particular is a huge tradition that's been going on for many years. There are a few every year who try to rain on our parade and don't understand our enthusiasm, but they can't spoil our fun. This is a great community.
 
You should go from ZZ to Incheon, KR, not directly to Anchorage.
They have in the past went straight to Alaska. Looks like they’re doing the same this year. We should find out for sure around 830pm eastern time tonight
 
Is anyone actually seeing their order go to “shipped” on Apple.com or the Apple Store app? I see my shipment using the order number (minus the last two digits) on UPS.com as a reference number but Apple.com still hasn’t said it’s shipped.

What’s this mean? Just a label is printed? Hasn’t actually been put on a plane?
Yeah, the Apple Store app won't change to Shipped until it gets to Louisville. It will remain Preparing to Ship. To track your phone, get the UPS MyChoice app and it will automatically show up on there. Probably already answered, still catching up. 🤣
