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

Dumb question where do I find my reference number?

Well......UPS Tracking still says 1:00 - 5:00......that ended 15 mins ago........

.

If mine does not deliver today, I am going to have hissy fit after waiting patiently for a week after pre-ordering.

UPS customer counter will be getting a visit from me tonight.

I’m in the same boat. You’ll soon get the “It’s still on its way but slightly delayed” email from UPS.

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?

Your Verizon account holder should receive a SMS txt.

Your order number minus the last two digits, including the W

There has to be a more efficient way to deliver. My UPS driver has spent the ENTIRE day within 1-2 miles of my house, and has driven by right in front of me so many times.

Thanks!

Hated waiting around for when the UPS person would be arriving to sign. Last year, no one would be home to sign for it when the actual date dropped. Had to redirect via UPS Choice to my hotel where I was for work so it delayed receipt by several days, but at least, it didn’t get sent back to VZW. They would not hold it at UPS Store as I requested for weekend pickup.

Plus, this year, it will be grand opening of our new Apple Store so I will get to check that out as well.

I just love the Apple Store experience.

To most it’s another shop. To me it’s much more but it’s hard to explain.

Go talk to him/her and get it lol just have your ID

He drove one house down from where he was when I took the photo and delivered again, then came to me next. I'm all good now!

For real, dude? These people have enough to deal with all day long, they really need someone coming in whining because out of a zillion phones, they messed up delivery of one?

If it comes tomorrow, you'll live. Have a heart.

3:30 PM and mine shows "Out for Delivery" on the Apple side, but is still at "Preparing for Delivery" in the UPS portal - I'm guessing mine is coming next week?

 

[jphall]

Hey Apple order geniuses…PLEASE HELP. My October 2-7 order just flipped to preparing to ship. Will I see my phone next week?

Apple Shipping info is virtually worthless. log into My Choice on UPS app and it'll tell you where it is.

 

[poppe]

Google voice maybe to call them?

I can't download it because I can't get any thing to go through because I don't have any way of getting my apps download - since I can't get a text message for dual authentication.

My phone was delivered while still showing "preparing for delivery".

1 hour left before I have to leave to drop the kids off, which will take an hour or longer with the way traffic is looking. The chances of getting my phone today is very slim. Then I’ll be traveling to the Apple Store an hour away tomorrow.

 

[Phone Junky]

My window was 2:30-4:30. That was an hour ago. I've watched the truck go from 3 miles east of me, to 2 miles west of me, then back to 4 miles northeast and it just came back by and went 3 miles west of me. It's funniest and weirdest crap I've ever seen. Driver must get paid by the miles. 😆

I'm shocked at the allocations this year. I pre-ordered my 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max through apple for use on T-mobile within the first 8 minutes of the Pre-Order starting and received an October 2-7th Shipping estimate. I was thinking Apple was under promising and would over deliver... I mean in the first 8 minutes it's going to take two weeks?

Meanwhile Monday of this week I ordered a 512 GB iPhone Pro Max for a family member but this time directly through T-Mobile and they received their phone today.

Meanwhile my order through Apple is still processing with the same October 2nd through 7th time frame and nothing has been charged yet.

I had hoped similar! Mine says oct 8-15 but I haven’t been charged and can still cancel lol

 

[Prospekt]

I ended up chasing the UPS man down after he said he forgot it on the truck and got my phone

 

[MrP90]

Ok my iPhone 16 Pro Max (Black Titanium) has arrived and time to set it up. I am peacing out of this thread , by next launch, more UPS CCs will exist so that part of the game is done. Peace!

 

[suresk]

My phone was delivered while still showing "preparing for delivery".

haha, 2 minutes after I posted, mine showed up. Odd, but I'm not complaining!

 

[Daino92]

Just got mine. See you all next year!

 

[ashkir]

First phone just arrived. Marked delivered.

Second phone in progress still? What. I didn't get charged for the second phone at all. And it's still in delivery process, and "out for delivery". Is it a ghost phone? lol

 

[ck3801]

My phone has just been delivered

 

[mrsh21413]

Hey Apple order geniuses…PLEASE HELP. My October 2-7 order just flipped to preparing to ship. Will I see my phone next week?

How exciting!!

 

[NeNeSam]

Finally! This was the latest iPhone delivery time I have ever had. Setting up now. 😁 The UPS driver said he had already delivered about 45.
