I've definitely not seen that with any of my orders over the past few years. Mine have always traveled the same route each year for as long as I can remember. I might have been in a different group than you.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
good look out, i was about to get excited for nothing 😂 dosent matter tho i know its going to show up on friday i guessIt’s not in the US. That’s a preliminary custom hold, all incoming iPhones have that custom hold even if the iPhones are still sitting in China
If they don’t understand our enthusiasm and try to rain on our parade, then why are they here? 😂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.
in connecticut (central) u can get almost every iphone for pickup on release date, except for a few 1tb models.In South Florida and even Orlando Florida they still have preorder pickups available on 9/20
Are sales down?

Maybe. I swear ever year I’m gonna save a screenshot of my tracking info but I never do. I think it was the 13 or 14 maybe last I noticed…but I’ve definitely seen them go straight to Alaska. I remember being surprised by it. They use to go through Hong Kong at one point as well. I’ve seen them come from shenzen as well.I've definitely not seen that with any of my orders over the past few years. Mine have always traveled the same route each year for as long as I can remember.

It does appear that way for anyone with a 1:35 AM departure scan. Atlas GTI8171 rolled for taxi at 1:04 AM and lifted off at 1:35 AM CST (China Standard Time). This matches the UPS tracking time (it is dynamic for flights).For everyone that has a departure scan from ZhengZhou at 1:35 AM on Tuesday it looks like GTI8171 from ZhengZhou to Anchorage is the flight to track.

Same..exact time too.Got an update that it’s left the facility. Anyone else? Any info of perhaps a flight?
Ya, on the way to another facility in Zhengzhou. Mine has already Arrived and Departed twice.Got an update from UPS that it has departed the facility in Zhengzhou, China at 1:35am on 09/17 and is on the way
No, they will ship from China.Mine says expected Friday but no shipping details yet. Maybe gonna be shipped from the states?
old guy here, I too usually wake up before my alarms! It is crazy! So often within minutes of when my apple watch alarm will be alarming.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.![]()
I looked at those, but the Casetify branding around the camera cutout looks cheesy. Hard pass.
My phone is on that flight, thanks for the info.For everyone that has a departure scan from ZhengZhou at 1:35 AM on Tuesday it looks like GTI8171 from ZhengZhou to Anchorage is the flight to track. You can find it here: https://www.flightradar24.com/GTI8171/37215515
Not yet. I was anticipating later this afternoon/early evening based on what popped up last year in my scans.Wave 2 folks - anything on ours yet?
Was your last scan before this an Arrival scan ZZ 6:30 PM on 9/15? I'm just trying to determine if you're my wave or not.My phone is on that flight, thanks for the info.

apple's clear case has an open bottom... that's why a lot of people don't like it!Apple's cases haven't had a cutout at the bottom for years now. They are flat all the way around. The only opening is the tiny holes for speaker/mic, and the charging port.
I would say yes.In South Florida and even Orlando Florida they still have preorder pickups available on 9/20
