SDF to JFK flight departing in about 10 minutes. Maybe that’s the one for me.
Yes, I think that must be the one bringing our phones to NYC

Just got a label created notice in MyChoice from Ontario CA. Must be my long lost Apple Watch S10!
Now I won’t freak out when the UPS flights from SDF to DEN take off soon.

Regarding people tracking down and intercepting the trucks - I never did it but I remember posts from previous years where people did that. Maybe it varies by location. I’ll be interested to see if it shows up tomorrow
Lol that sounds like a recipe for no good lol.
 
Thanks first time delivery on Miami Beach this year.
I suspect the Miami people are going to be on UPS2332 leaving in 5 hours. Either that or Envoy Air ENY3366 leaving in 6 or so hours. One of those flights. I doubt it’s a tomorrow redeye flight
 
The downside of living so close to Louisville is that UPS 636 doesn't leave until 4:30 in the morning and even if it comes by truck, that's only 4 hours max. I doubt I see anymore movement before bed. Which on the bedtime note, I don't think I am sleeping tonight without Ambien. I am too excited like a kid before Christmas.
 
The kraken has already been released. At this point, the phone you ordered is already en route to you, so you would have to wait for delivery then take your chances at a store, or take you chances at a store, then return the phone that UPS delivered to you.
Mine isn’t supposed to ship until next month, my window is Oct 9-16th so we’ll see.

I doubt any will actually be available before then in store though, people be camping at the doors waiting for them to open.

Thanks for the wonderful post. Will the scanning iPhone to iPhone also copy across all my mp3 songs that aren’t part of iTunes?
Thanks, I knew i needed to study up for Friday. I thought if I could preempt migration questions by noting my research, I'd do it. lol

I do recall last year doing a multistep process to upgrade the new phone to the beta before migrating, and finding out I didn't have to actually do that as, unlike previous years, it could be part of the migration. I imagine that's the same this year... .

Regarding your iPhone's mp3 files, I think they get moved over via an iCloud backup, but I don't know. Maybe the phone to phone transfer would work better, again, I don't know.

I'm the Apple expert (lol) to many of my friends, but I have very specific use case for my many devices including using iTunes Match and Apple Music, and friends who use local music files on the Macintosh computers. Most of my work files are in iCloud Drive. It's been a decade since I used my computer or phone like that and have no idea how some of those details work when not totally enmeshed in the Apple Ecosystem. I get a new Mac or iPhone and I have all my music and work files available to download immediately. Slight tangent warning, lol.


Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

Check the Apple Store app in the mornings around 5:30 or 6 local time. That’s when they usually update the available inventory for pickup.

the first "shipped" that actually has shipped! Or at least in actual shipping process.

Have you seen the flight it is on? Curious where it'd be going. I'd think they don't want any phones in local UPS CC locations before they are closed for the day.
 
In addition to my iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB Titanium Black being on its way from St. Louis to California this afternoon, I also have an updated status on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black Titanium.

What I found interesting is that the phone’s shipping weight is 0.4 lbs, where as the smaller watch is 1.3 lbs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Apologies if this has been asked but I haven’t been able to keep up with this thread today.

Right now on Apple’s website for in store pick up it says: Check back later for availability on 9.20

Does anybody know approximately what time I should check back at?
