How is mine still preparing to ship T - T
 
When did your submit your orders on Friday? And are both orders in your name and the same exact address you have listed in My Choice?

FoxConn is still running the assembly lines at full speed and units are backing up waiting of flights.

I did mine 2nd minute after Apple Store went online, so definitely first batch. Idk, still no updates

Thanks — I very much appreciate the insight. Same name, same address, order completed at :05 after the starting bell. There seems to be quite a few of us in the same boat. Same thing happened to me when the iPhone 12 Pro was released…and I did not get any notifications or updates until the day it was being delivered….and it was delivered on opening day.

No, it’s in China or on its way to the US. Your iPhone hasn’t arrived in Louisville. That “package handed over to customs for clearance” is a customs hold for every shipment about to enter the US.

Go back to the previous pages and you’ll see. We know what we’re talking about. We’ve been doing this for YEARS.
Come on please you really gonna pull the “we have been doing this for years card”. I have been doing this for 17 years since the first iPhone was released. All I said is I have NO NEW SCANS SINCE SATURDAY. THAT WAS THE LAST SCAN. if you have been doing this for years, then you of all people should know that UPS ships these ahead and the scans aren’t updated. I simply made an observation that my phone says it’s awaiting customs clearance. Do you and everyone else really think your phones are still in ZZ waiting to depart, because based on my years of experience since Apple started shipping the iPhones because the first iPhone was bought in store , it is not. The same thing happened last year with my iPhone, no new scans including a departure scan and then boom , next thing I know it was in KY.

Why do you insist on telling me I’m wrong. If I am right or wrong, who cares. Isn’t the whole point of this is to inform everyone the status of our phones so we can have fun together and track our phones. Because you and the other people who insist I’m wrong are just bullies “ because you have been doing this for years”. Has it been 17 years like me, cause I have had every single iPhone since the first was released as I upgrade my phone every year.
 
Ah! Realized I ordered a 16 Pro 256GB instead of a 16 Pro Max 256GB. Had to cancel and reorder.

Delivery window is now Oct 8-15 instead of Oct 2-8.

What are the chances of receiving it early?
You can always keep checking the Apple Store app to see if one pops up in your local Apple Store and do pickup if that works for you. If one is available, you can cancel your other order. That’s what I did. I originally had a delivery Oct 2-8 and I happen to check the app and found one for store pickup on 9/21!

hey there, fellow iphone buyer. i remember like it was yesterday sitting in line that afternoon at att to buy the first iphone. all i can say, by tracking these for years is the scans that ups makes match exactly or if not exactly, just about, to the flights. it’s not too difficult to find the plane these are on. so i trust the ups tracking. the only time there is a delay is when they arrive early, like before thursday in kentucky, they might not scan it right away.
 
Anyone else have an 8:22 PM EST departure time from Anchorage on 9/16? Any ideas where it is headed?
i too have that scan. my guess is it’s headed to louisville kentucky, muhammad ali international. there was an air cargo plane that took off around 8:11pm from anchorage headed to Louisville. i doubt we see another scan right away. the plane landed at 5:52am edt. since they won’t leave louisville until thursday, they’ll be in no rush to scan. maybe…

ah good point!
 
This thread reminds me of hurricane tracking; Watching then small storm way way out, then it becomes a tropical storm, then the forecasts and models start projecting, then the tracking, then it’s a hurricane, then more tracking, when will it get here, will will it make landfall, where will it hit, lol
All the hurry and wait and then finally it’s here…

😂 being told you are wrong, because you are in fact wrong, doesn’t make anyone a bully dude. See the problem with your misinformation is then other people are going to see the same thing in aftership and think because they have that customs scan that their in Kentucky too when in fact their not. No one is “bullying” you. Everyone is just trying to inform you about what’s really going on. And I have been doing this for 14 years, every single year, since the iPhone 4 released. I was on this site when flight tracking started. And you didn’t just say you had no new scans since Saturday. You claimed your phone was in Kentucky. We simply were just informing you that you are incorrect.
