I believe they will leave.

My memory could be off, but I don't ever remember signature being required for delivery.

I used to have to print off and sign a form (if I was not going to be home to sign). The past couple of years the UPS driver has delivered to the leasing office and they have signed. Not sure about delivery to a house.
 
Still no charge on my credit card for second phone! But have shipping numbers for both now!

Shipping shows everything is in Kentucky. Will be in California soon!

Sadly.. I’m in a remote area, and I’m literally my drivers last stop before he goes home. Mine will show up at the very end of the window :-(

Are people just joining the thread now and not reading that we have been tracking the plane's the entire time right from the factory in china?? Just because your order on Apple store shows shipped today doesn't mean the process started today.

Can you imagine if it was that fast. Instant 1-hr delivery.

Good time to start getting ready!

Here is a video from Apple Support showing how to migrate to your new iPhone.

This video is 8 months old, and it is possible there will be some different processes with iPhone 16 and/or iOS 18. I will be checking for updated videos from Apple Support before I actually begin my migration.

For now, here are some recommendations from and about the video linked below.

Upon booting the new iPhone, several prompts will lead to Quick Start and you will have several options to transfer data via Download from iCloud or Transfer from iPhone. Among the expected steps will be the option to transfer your SIM or eSIM to the new phone's eSIM, which will transfer your cellular plan to the new iPhone.

As there will be an update for at least the new iPhone, at some point there will be a prompt to download and update the iOS, perhaps for both devices. If you are running a beta it will ask if you want to move the new device to the beta.

If you plan to migrate using Download from iCloud, GO NOW to Settings>General>Transfer or Reset iPhone. Follow prompts which will create a new entire phone backup, and click Done. Apple gives you 21 days of free iCloud Backup so you may set up the new iPhone without having to buy more iCloud Storage just to do the migration. I recommend waiting till new phone is up and running before resetting and erasing old phone.

If you select Download from iCloud after Quick Start the migration will start via wifi. At some point you'll be able to start using the new iPhone as it continues to download apps.

If you select Transfer from iPhone, you will need to keep both iPhones plugged in and side by side for the duration of the migration. You will not be able to use either iPhone until the process is complete.

Some have said in this thread that they will set up their new phone as "new" and won't transfer. You may use Quick Start for easy access to your Apple Account and then choose "Set up Without Another Device". Prompts will guide you with appropriate options.


I do hope this is helpful now instead of realizing on Friday with the iPhone in hand that you don't know the plan. Enjoy the adventure!


Wow, that was quite a bit of typing and editing. lol

Thanks for the wonderful post. Will the scanning iPhone to iPhone also copy across all my mp3 songs that aren’t part of iTunes?

They usually catch it in the audit step but with large number of iPhone 16 units shipping it is always a slight possibility. It has happened in the past. Heck some customers have even received an extra iPhone, rare but it has happened.

I remember when UPS showed gps updates of where the delivery driver was. I also enjoyed how the driver was 4 houses away only to vanish shortly after. I guess that's one of the reasons they don't show that anymore.

Probably for the best. I used to anger-watch that little truck move in and out of my neighborhood all day, get mad when they stopped for lunch, and conspired to track them down at the Kohl’s down the street when they went there twice before heading my way.
 
I got the "On the Way Import Scan" and it's in Louisville but I don't have the "Get Ready For Your New iPhone" message in my Settings app. Is that normal?
