I ordered a black 256 16 Pro within the first couple minutes of the store opening, mine currently says 17th @ 1:35am, so I guess I’m in wave one as well.

My tracking number has not shown up yet in My Choice, and is still being shown as preparing for shipment on Apple. I could see the partial tracking number by looking up by reference.

I called UPS and they were able to give me the tracking number based on all of the info I was able to provide, but what I was told is that it is currently in Louisville awaiting customs, and will not show an update until it passes through. I do not know how trustworthy that is, however.
Interesting UPS said that. Wave 1 should be in the air still, definitely not in Louisville. If there is a preliminary scan on it for customs, you would think they would know what that meant. Was that International Customer Service you talked to?
 
Just ordered an iPhone 16 Pro Max in white with 512gb. Arrival date is listed as October 11th, but could be sooner. We shall see. I’m upgrading from the 14 Pro Max which recently died on me Out of warranty. Time for an upgrade anyway. 😀 👍🏼

This is my first time trading in at Apple
I bought the 16 Pro 128gb $999 for $1068.93 and I'm trading in my 15 Pro for $520 and I have an Apple Gift card $440.66
I didn't realize you have to pay tax for $999 and then after the trade-in price. For me it'll be only $116 including 7% tax
 
What Wave are you in?

Seeing Wave 1 were 9/14s, I believe I would be Wave 2 ... (or wave +2 ... still trying to find travel buddies here)

I called the US customer service line
 
Guess I’m going to have to be content to rely on updates from my fellow wave 2ers. International Customer service shut me down 3 times trying to get my tracking number. Said to call Apple.
We'll keep you updated, but try again maybe tomorrow morning to see if different people are there.
:rolleyes:
 
Wave 2'er here, no movement yet. It's 7:15am in ZZ right now, so hopefully we see some movement by tonight.
My second order is in wave 2. There is a Cargolux flight leaving in about an hour takeoff time...so, if Cargolux happens to be used, that could be the wave 2 flight. Not certain, but that flight number is CLX5482
 
You are in Wave 2 with me, trost, Mathiasinthe314 to name a few off the top of my head. :) Other Wave 2ers, say HEY!! 😂 I can't keep track of everyone's names. lol
I've been gone for 2 whole years! Give a thawed out account a bone, y'all! 🤣 My 12 PM is dying to retire! Poor thing will be [activate Tim Cook voice] my most dropped iPhone ever. I can't wait for myself to drop my new iPhone, now with AI.
 
Mine is in Anchorage. I think it was indeed on this flight. Which landed at 14:52 and my arrival scan at Anchorage shows 14:59.

Again, I am in Canada and our orders originated in Kunshan City and left via Shanghai.

No tracking number in My Choice means it is not in the UPS system. Please ignore the Apple Order status until Thursday.

Did the tracking number they gave you match any part of your search by reference? If it was really in SDF (Louisville) you would have several scans already in My Choice. Something does not make sense here... Have you try to manually add your tracking number to the UPS app using the Track tab not the To Me?

How funny would it be if it started screaming once the accelerometer hit a certain velocity.
