Update on my phone

Update- Didn't hear from the UPS center person, so I ended up going there, only about 30 minutes away, they didn't have it there either. Guy who helped me was not happy due to multiple iPhone packages not being delivered even though tracking had them going to destinations. There were also about 15 other people in my situation at the center. WTF is going on?!
Another update- UPS center guy called and turns out my phone went out on another truck for some reason. And then got a notification for delivery rescheduled on Monday.😡 Damn, you'd think UPS would have this down by now.
 
If I had known Apple would drop the ball on my pre-order 2 times and not deliver on launch day, I would have gone to the Apple Store today.

Now I am going tomorrow.

What a big letdown.
Do you think they'd let us switch to pickup since delivery didn't happen? I should call maybe...

Fastest WiFi speeds I have ever had on a iPhone. The 15PM would get between 400-450mbps.

You keep crapping on Apple here, but Apple sent the device out. It’s ups that was delivering it, not Apple.

Something seems to be going on, if your read through this thread. One person didn’t get their phone and got their watch, and ups driver told them there was supposed to be 2 packages but the watch was the only one he had. He also said there were 15 other people there in the same position as him. Maybe something is going on…and maybe it’s out of Apple and ups’ control. We may never know. But your mad at the wrong company.
 
I got my delivery at home but next time I think I’m going to the store. The all day wait for sometime today by 7pm is getting old. Especially since if they don’t deliver nobody knows nothing until Monday, maybe.
 
This is was the first time I've done home delivery. And got it just after 6PM.

Every year previously, I've had it shipped to my work and always had it by 11AM, at the latest.

That will be my choice next time.

This phone is really beautiful. The white titanium finish is just gorgeous. I’m really happy with it. And this is my first time having a Pro phone. The pic quality is definitely top notch. Glad I decided to go with it instead of the pink non-pro one.

I still haven't figured out how to get my Apple Watch connected to my phone. It seems like since the cellular went to Fraud, it essentially put everything into a sort of purgatory between the two devices. I couldn't get apps to download, couldn't get ceullular to work. Now my watch can only be setup as a new watch and I can't restore to backup. So that's super fun.
my watches were a total biatch to pair! gave up on pairing hubby's watches to his phone for the night! he can wait til tomorrow!

Add me to the list. I was tracking the truck..it arrived...no phone. I did get an unrelated package delivered though. I told the driver there should be an iPhone too. He double checked and there wasn't anything else listed on his device. I opened the app and watched my phone move away on the truck until the map changed and showed the tracking all of the way back to China. Still showing it's out for delivery. Haven't gotten a new delivery date.
 
I am still waiting for UPS to deliver my 16 Pro (ordered via carrier and may be the last time I ever do that). They said before 7PM (7:15 now). May come today, maybe not-what is gone is my patience. I almost rather have waited in line at a store……

Same here. However, I’ve heard a few having activation or transfer issues and I had none. I used iCloud to back up.
we didn't have any activation issues... but it was weird the first time i called my mom (and called hubby's phone) it said "that line no longer available" or something along those lines.... our 13s had our same number as primary and secondary...... it had none for primary and our number for secondary and no sim.... i change the secondary to primary and now it says "used as primary" no sim. weird!!!!
 
Yeah, I just downloaded it and it's now updating
lol! ya.... i saw it on hubby's phone and told it to update... forgot he was on xbox.... so when his phone restarted it restarted the hue sync box and took away his internet connection from his xbox and he (his COD dude) got unalived! OOPS!

Mine got rescheduled for Saturday before noon.

Did you get an update from UPS ?

Mine just updated to Saturday delivery.

Funny, I didn't request it - just showing up now.

Oh well, gotta blame UPS twice now for pre-ordering.

Next time, it will be ISPU.

UPS now says my tracking number doesn't exist "The tracking number you entered is not valid. Please review or contact the sender to check the number."

wtf. First a delay to monday now this.
 
I was surprise. Just finished breakfast and door bell rang UPS, 10:46 am. Usually don’t get from UPS
until 6 Or 7. Got it from carrier Next Day Saver Air. Phone was in USA from the beginning.
Manufacter date August2024.
 
Has anyone had their UPS time window change?

.

Yes, mine just changed to September 21st by 7PM. It says Saturday delivery requested but I didn't make that request (I guess the driver is way behind). Good thing I don't have anything planned for tomorrow.

i got white for the first time with my 13.... got it again this time since the other colors were so uninspriring! i love the white camera area peeking out of the gorgeous, vibrant fuchsia case! and it will be so pretty to see the white of the phone and the pink accents of the otterbox lumen when it change it out to that one for my "shopping case"

after some minor/annoying hiccups we are all good to go! Was also thrilled to find out that doing the phone-phone transfer kept all my downloaded apps on their current version, so thankfully I still have the Twitter bird on my phone
