Not able to find my iPhone 16 Plus shipment using any method. I also have UPS My Choice and get notifications for other shipments, but haven't for this one. Not sure what's up... but Apple still claims Friday delivery. Maybe shipping via Fedex? Seems unlikely.

Maybe your phone is already state side.

Haha. No. While I’ll feel better when it’s in Louisville, there’s still plenty of time and there’s no point being a Karen over something outside their control.
Good man. As I stated earlier, wave 1 made it from zz to Kentucky in ~15 hours. There’s no need to worry right now. The exception is likely because the flight was delayed due to the typhoon

I guess that's quite possible.

This happens every year and it seems to occur more on the regular phones where Apple already moved them to their warehouses in the US where it is the Pro's that tend to be the ones coming from China before launch day.

I wouldn't fret yet.

Fedex is highly unlikely. Probably just a scan glitch. I hope.

I never said anything about FedEx. Just stating it has occurred in the past that Apple already has stock in their US warehouses for launch day phone deliveries. No glitch or anything.
 
UPS176 is reposition flight from ICN.
How do you know that this is a future CGO flight out ?
Will it go to ANC ?
I don’t know that far but what I noticed with these US carriers is that they don’t stay in ZZ they go back towards the US

Sorry, I'm a first-timer here. just curios, if phones expected on September 20 are on wave 1, wave 2 etc. then
phones with the delivery dates of October 7-14, will be delivered in wave 10-15 or something like that? or won't be that much waves usually to deliver all pre-orders?
as I see most people are getting their phone on 20th sept. but haven't seen discussion of month late deliveries (may be missed those comments)
Checking the tracking number through a UPS account is not an option in my case, so I'm asking here.
My order is still showing "Processing" since 13th of September
The wave numbers will be irrelevant by October. The Wave 1, 2, and maybe 3 are the most discussed since it's all about a Launch Day delivery right now. The forum definitely continues on as deliveries ship out. But you would save some time and less worry about your phone if you don't really start chasing it until about 1-2 weeks prior to your specific delivery window. I would check Apple Order status once-in-while to see if your Delivery window moves earlier - then start checking UPS accordingly.

Not to worry - if Apple says 9/20 then it will arrive.

Past years I have seen shipments arrive on Thursday night to SDF and still make the overnight flight to customers on Friday.

We still have 2+ days of freighter flights.

I'm tracking my wave 2 flight out of ZZ.
 
opted out of delivery because i want to trade in at the store on the spot vs sending it in and biting my nails waiting for the trade in process to complete. yall enjoy yourselves here.
i never do backups and always set up my phone from scratch.
 
Chill people - your iPhone will deliver by 9/20.

It may take many flights up until Thursday 9/19.

Don't worry - wave 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .... Apple has got it down.
*you know when you tell someone to chill or calm down... it just makes them more stressed/unchilled/uncalm* :D

nothing worse than being upset at something and having hubby telling me to calm down! lol!
