No offense that's why I ALWAYS drive 25 minutes to my Apple store. There were 75 people in the line that DIDN'T order a week ago that I;m told ALL got an Iphone today.
16 PM noticeably faster than 15 PM..Face ID, loading apps etc
My phone was just delivered. Different driver, so it was on a different truck than my first package. App updated to delivered. Yeah!
Love those cases! Right now, I have one from Velvet Caviar and it looks so amazing on the white phone! So pretty!
I always forget my username is “applewatch” lol
Made it immediately after the Apple Watch announcement lol
This happened to me last year. They’ll charge it in a day or two. Leave the money alone.
I now have a message that says delivery date will be provided as soon as possible!
Huh, yeah they definitely do deliver Saturdays where I live. I just didn't think to ask the CC guy at the time, probably should have. And there's no option to reschedule earlier than Monday on MyChoice page. Oh well, I'm just gonna stick with Monday at this point.
Did you get Quick Start to work after you got your eSIM downloaded from Verizon?
You might want to "Reset" your iPhone 16 and then try the Quick Start process again.
You can always restore again from your old iPhone iCloud backup. Your Watch backup will be in that backup.
- Use iCloud Backup to back up the iPhone currently paired with your Apple Watch (see the iPhone User Guide for more information).
- Set up your new iPhone. On the Apps & Data screen, choose to restore from an iCloud backup, then select the latest backup.
- Continue iPhone setup and, when prompted, choose to use your Apple Watch with your new iPhone.

Finally got everything transferred. It hung on "2 hours remaining" for about 3 hours, then suddenly it was done. Yay! Now I just have to get everything working again.
Good luck to everyone still waiting! See you all next time!

That was my next step, but I didn't want to mess up the provision and possibly have to call or take a trip to the Verizon store. Over the last year or so since they laid off most of the US based staff, their CS has REALLY gone downhill.
It really depends on how much data you are transferring? Wi-Fi or direct Cable.
ETA: Still learning to spell...

Finally arrived around 8PM local. Driver said he had a lot of deliveries. Set up is done but have a few little things left to transfer.
In-store pickup was a nightmare this year, nothing but issues with trade in. Luckily the MOD was able to take care of me!
16 Pro is nice. Somehow feels bigger but also not.
Anyways, see ya'll next year!

Doh! Didn’t even think about using a cable. Three hours isn’t a big deal since I’m just watching TV while it transfers. But I’m pretty sure I was going to need my phone sometime in that 21-hour span.
It’s here! Finally! UPS be cutting it CLOSE! 7pm arrival here in Southern California. I was so worried he would turn back to the hub.
Anyway, like others, I had some phone to phone transfer issues. Stalled out a couple times. Had to restart the transfer. Worked on the 3rd try.
First impressions: as a girl with small hands, the wider screen feels bigger than I thought! Gotta get used to the feel and keyboard. I can def tell the resolution is better and brighter! Looks really nice. I look forward to exploring the new updates.

Transferring from former phones took hours. And then dozens of apps required to sign in again.
So my 16PM flies. I’m really enjoying it over my 14PM and it’s lighter too!
Doing phone to phone I was able to move the esim phone number but then it got stuck after. I had to restart my 14PM then it finished successfully.
Almost everything logged in automatically except some of my MFA apps which was a pain to re-register but otherwise been great.
My spigen case with the cutout for the camera feels weird. My finger falls in the indent and it doesn’t feel comfortable. I just ordered the spigen case with the button for the camera so it can feel more natural!

I was a little surprised that I had to log in to so many of the apps..... i thought that was the purpose of doing the iCloud back up!?
