Mine came with a scuff on the corner straight out of the box... 🥺

Looks like they dropped it while manufacturing.

That sucks. You can swap it out or live with it in a case but if you trade-in when you upgrade in a year or so it will be a ding to the $$

 

[solo118]

That is messed up. Go to the store for a replacement on the spot

 

[LouisVuittonnDon]

How do you guys track UPS with the live map?

Closest one to me is 2+ hours away sadly. I am currently in the chat queue awaiting a specialist to start the return process. Very sad but this is way too large of a scuff/scratch to ignore it unfortunately.

Sitting here still waiting for the UPS truck makes me long for the days I stood in line early to pick up at the Apple store. This UPS map to track the delivery truck shows the truck in the very same place it was six and a half hours ago. Last year it came super early. Today literally on the late freight. 😩

 

[GuruGuy]

I definitely will be ISPU next time instead of the waiting game with delivery. Worse than the old days waiting on the Cable Guy with their 8 hour window and yet still were late

 

[The Doctor11]

Have there been any big display improvements since the 13 Pro? I feel like my 16 Pro looks STUNNING. Like it’s closer to the glass itself or something.

Yeah, its better now to take care of it while you have your main phone than later.

When logged in to UPS My Choice right under the Ship To information are three options. The second one is “Follow on a Live Map.” However, for me the truck on the map hasn’t moved in over six hours. 🙃

My UPS driver has been in my neighborhood so I got in my car and went and found him and got my package from him instead of waiting all day

 

[JBinPDX]

I'll be off to the store soon. I'm trying not to get there too soon.

I've been trying to do a backup since this morning and it keeps stalling out. I do have one from yesterday that will probably be OK. But still...

 

[Prospekt]

My UPS man delivered my AirPods and said he forgot my other package on the truck and would come back but now I see him driving around on the map. Delivery still says by 7 PM so i have my fingers crossed.

For those of you who’ve received your iPhones, did it ship with iOS 18.0?

Yes but it also has another iOS 18 update that is 427.8 GB. Just for the iPhone 16 family of devices. Important bug fixes and security updates.

[matts_ego]

Which method of transferring are you using?

I’m using the iPhone to iPhone wireless transfer during the setup process

427.8Gb? Damn that's a mother of an update.

Just picked mine up at the Apple Store. Is anyone hearing anything about the traditional carrier activation issues today?

 

[Sdl1202]

Wow, this sucks! I ordered my 16PM on pre-order day. Got up for the 5am announced time. Wasn’t able to get through until 5:15 went with the shipping & my phone won’t be here until October 2-7! I’m so bummed 🫤

Are you just now checking a week later to see when your phone ships?

Ok, so about two more hours left on transfer?

 

[solo118]

I have to go pick up my son which will take 15-20 minutes. Bet you UPS shows up when I am gone lol

 

[blueeyes2die4]

Just finished restoring my 512gb Natural 16PM. OMG what a beautiful phone.

 

[NeNeSam]

Wow. That’s not good.

Nope I have heard nothing about Carrier Activation issues all day. And my 2 iPhone 16 Pro activated on AT&T in less than 5 minutes.
