Dearly Departed... 🤣

Have a safe and enjoyable flight (I'm still hanging out in Louisville). See everyone next year. ✈️ 😁

 

[Eitel]

Welcome home new phone. Daddy has a nice and warm case for you waiting. 🤣🤣

 

[jphall]

Actually it is Setting > General then scroll all the way down, it is right above "Shut Down"...

Dave

oops, forgot the General in the sequence. thx!

 

[Appleseed18]

Amazing how my watch caught up with the phone.

 

[MetalMatt24]

Now…..watch UPS show up at 9pm.

 

[gaedfly]

They also have flights to Jax, TPA, lauderdale and Miami today. So there’s lots of Florida flights other than just Orlando.

I should have said Central FL

 

[jphall]

It seems like every single UPS plane is being flown in their fleet for this occasion lol

I am curious what % increase in overall traffic and driver deliveries occurs on Launch Day/Week.

 

[Sci_Tech]

Mine shows a departure at 3:25pm

I’m in LA, so I’m guessing ONT.

Which flight would I be on?

I’m guessing #5928?

We’re on the same flight it’s 5924

 

[gaedfly]

Signature usually isn't required.

Not my experience. I got some cheapo something from Apple a few weeks ago and UPS driver refused to leave it because I wasn’t there to sign for it. I think signature required is part of their contract with Apple.

 

[hch3psa]

Crossing my fingers! Watching flights.

No update to UPS so I'm guessing next flight to Phoenix?

 

[ScoutTactics8]

Just departed Louisville at 4:19pm bound for Boeing Field. Flight# UPS2980
On the home stretch!

 

[mdlyen]

Portland (PDX) phones appear to be on flight UPS2974 arriving at 17:27.

Anyone in DFW, looks like our phones are en route on UPS5778 based on departure scans.

Getting closer!

@SoCalGadgetGuy
Yours might already be on the plane ?

Mine might be on this flight as the last scan said it left at 3:03pm:

my watch is on this one based on the departure times of my tracking

 

[iLOLWUT]

Woke up this morning and finally got all my tracking! Phone will be here in the morning!

 

[dannyyankou]

Guys, you can resize images here, in case you didn't know.

 

[boxermansr]

Anyone else's phone coming to El Paso? I can't seem to recall what route my 15PM took last year but for some reason I think it went from Louisville, to somewhere in California, then to Albuquerque,
then to El Paso.

 

[Ameer_1]

My 16 Pro will be here Oct 3-8 has anyone iPhone around this date been shipped out early?

 

[bertimus2002]

The flight path flew near us I was able to snap a pic (at 14x digital zoom on iPhone 13 Pro Max).

all my accessories that i ordered and had delivered leading up to the new phones have been left on the porch.... cases, charging adapters and cables.... cases came via fedex... adapters and cabled via ups

 

[BabyFu18]

My two iPhones departed Louisville for Atlanta at 3:32 pm

Nice mine departed at 2:58 headed to Atlanta too! I saw there was a flight from SDF to ATL landing shortly, I wonder if that that flight has the phones or not.

 

[jphall]

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!

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

Hey, depending upon what iPhone you are moving from, and to, you can use a fast cable to transfer between phones. I'll be going from iPhone 15 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max, I'm thinking I'll go with a ThunderBolt 4 USB-C cable on this Pro phones to see what kind of speeds I can get. That's going to be a fun experiment!

I do intend to add an encrypted backup from 15PM to my MBP into my preparations.

Whelp...looks like I may have captured the SDF->DFW flight in photos, however, I have an arrival scan showing in SAN ANTONIO!!!

My address is right on our 2 orders, so I have no idea what is happening now. Guess we'll wait and see how they get it to us in time tomorrow.

 

[Lsmachado]

My plane has landed!!! Hopefully I’ll get it early in the day tomorrow instead of in the evening, lol.
