I'm curious for metro-Detroit people how our phones will get here. I don't see a scheduled flight SDF-DTW today or tomorrow. I know if often comes up by truck for regular shipments, but I thought UPS always flies them here for iPhone launches..
Yes, you have to nowadays. I had a delivery from UPS on Saturday last week. The driver took a photo as proof of delivery - however- the proof was a blurry photo of my bushes and not the package! Another reason why to meet the driver or be on the lookout.I do the same. My door will be open as soon as the driver starts walking up my driveway!
I've got a phone in that group as well: 16 PM Black, 256GB. It was probably about 10 minutes after starting that I got to this phone. Either they underestimated the Black Titanium's popularity & didn't manufacture that many, or the BT was *really* popular for it to slip to October that quickly. I would think there would have been at least one or two windows in September before getting to October.I am in the October 2-7 group and nothing yet either. (Overslept by 10 min.)
And if you hear a loud beeping from his pocket, that will be his geekmeter going off. 😄I do the same. My door will be open as soon as the driver starts walking up my driveway!
Weird. Mine was eligible when I first got the tracking through UPS my choice and I was able to do it successfully.After digging around on UPS, I finally found an option to “authorize shipment release”. But it says the package isn’t eligible lol. Hopefully me or someone else will be home to sign for it.
Worst case scenario, I work 15 minutes away from home. Maybe I can sneak out for a bit, my boss is on vacation until next week and the office is dead lol.
Apple most definitely does allow it they even give it to you to print if they show signature required on the site.
Or he's just happy to see you.And if you hear a loud beeping from his pocket, that will be his geekmeter going off. 😄
Because then it would be today and tomorrow would be Saturday and you'd have to wait until Monday.WHY it can't be tomorrow already
Hey at least it’s not like the 80’s where you had to wait 4-6 weeks or maybe longer for delivery!WHY it can't be tomorrow already
Still waiting for my Sea-Monkeys!Hey at least it’s not like the 80’s where you had to wait 4-6 weeks or maybe longer for delivery!
I know the feeling. Me- I’m going to binge watch Bad Monkey and then football tonight! That should pass the time and distract me!
I’m still waiting for my K-Tel “70s greatest hits!” Album. 4-6 weeks my butt.Hey at least it’s not like the 80’s where you had to wait 4-6 weeks or maybe longer for delivery!

I literally just got mine and the timestamp was for 45 minutes ago. I think their system is just catching up with all the scanning going on.Am I the only one from Wave 1 who still doesn't have an import scan at Louisville on UPS?
I contacted Apple (via iMessage) to request a pick up at the UPS CC. They said that it takes about 24-48 hours for me to get the update because the agent has to submit the request to a higher up on the ordering department and they have to reach out to UPS to confirm it can be picked up, etc..
I’m still going to try getting a pick up at an Apple Store.
Maybe there needs to be a NORAD iPhone launch tracker?Yes, but tracking everything is half the fun! Like children waiting for Santa to arrive!!
Bummer. I got natural 256 pm and I’m mid October. Still hoping for a miracleI've got a phone in that group as well: 16 PM Black, 256GB.

Where in the metro are you? We are in NW Dallas and our UPS delivery time is always a crap shoot!View attachment 2421527
My guess is the DFW flight is UPS2752 later today, but I'm anxiously waiting that departure scan...and then the wait until UPS delivers tomorrow!
North of Frisco. Our times are all over as well. Some days they are here at noon, other days it's 5pm. Makes for a loooong day of waiting and watching teardown videos for sure!Where in the metro are you? We are in NW Dallas and our UPS delivery time is always a crap shoot!
I haven't gotten my AppleCare email yet and I'm picking up tomorrow in-storeSAME!!!
Okay, so i'm not the only one who hasn't gotten the AppleCare email lolGot the Apple Store shipped notification 10 minutes. No import scan/no AppleCare email.
