Mine just changed to pending release from a government agency…

It was scanned onto the truck.

Mine too. It had been Delivery window 2:30PM-6:30PM to "pending release from a government agency". As fun as it was tracking flights, I am doing ISPU next time.

Edit: The government agency must have cleared it because it was delivered just now.

UPDATE- Oh man what a tease. My doorbell just rang and I buzzed the gate and went out to the courtyard and saw a FedEx guy coming with a small box. He looked at me like "what?" and I said "I'm apt 10, I'm Jigzaw (name changed, lol)" and the guy said "Oh, this is for Apartment 6, sorry".... He just rang doorbells till someone buzzed him in.

I said "Well, I am waiting on a FedEx delivery today, an iPhone" and he said the are handled by "Express". I told him about my ETA changing and the map disappearing and he said that I'll definitely get it today because the drivers get dinged if they don't deliver on the day it's supposed to...

What on earth is this day? It's a good thing I wasn't working today and trying to schedule leaving home around this delivery... blah

UPDATE 2: And then just like that, with no warning, the doorbell rings and my phone is here. White Titanium Pro. Have a great day, all.

Just got back from picking it up at the Apple store. I must say that the lines were nowhere near as long as they've been in the past. I probably waited in line for maybe 10 minutes. The line for drop-ins was longer, but still not terrible and was moving fairly quickly. I opted to bring the new one home and set it up here. I haven't been able to complete a backup with my old phone yet. I'm guessing that the iCloud servers are kind of slammed right now.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Desert Titanium. This isn't a very good picture. IRL it's sort of a pale cross between rose gold and bronze. I'm not that taken with the other colors, so I guess I'll live with it. I wish we could have pretty colors on the pro phones. I loved Deep Purple and Midnight Green. I've already sent a suggesting to make the Pro less boring. If we all do, maybe they'll listen? Product Feedback link

My UPS truck just keeps getting farther away. No time frame given, just “before 7pm”. Should have tried to intercept him this morning when he was delivering to the medical offices next to my complex. But I know that by the time I got my ID and went down 3 floors, he would have been gone anyway. ☹️ Maybe I’m just too impatient! I took the day off work, so if I don’t receive it today, I will NOT be a happy camper, lol. The waiting is killing me. I’m afraid to go more than a few steps away from the door.

I thought mine was here when the UPS driver knocked.
Nope - it was for my wife.
Her TMO carrier ordered 2 day air 16PM arrived.

Asked about mine - he said probably on a different truck.

I checked status and it looks like mine never got on a truck this morning.

I am really going to be pi$$ed off if they don't deliver mine today.

UPS should add a line so that you look at the path your delivery took. Would at least provide some comic relief to see how many circles my guy went around in.
 
So never had this happen to me. I can't get my phone activated. It keeps saying it's sending a code to the Verizon account holder but we aren't getting any codes. What am I supposed to do from there?

Call Verizon if you can , they might have to manually activate?
 
I picked mine up from the local Apple store. I was in the store for nearly 2 hours and when I left the line was longer than when I got there. And the line when I got there was already really long. Totally different than last year.
 
Hey Apple order geniuses…PLEASE HELP. My October 2-7 order just flipped to preparing to ship. Will I see my phone next week?

What a disaster. I can't get anything to work on the new phone. Everything is stuck in some kind of transfer mode but not transfer mode. No text messages, no cellular service. Only my guess Wifi came through.

Old phone has no cellular either. I can't even get through to verizon...

Do you see anything in my choice yet? Or track by reference? Usually prep to ship indicates that is actually shipped in pre-orders.
