Me either, but I saw someone say that last year the tracking didn’t start until around 9:30 pm on the day after ordering for the most part so I’m being patient until I wake up tomorrow morning without any tracking.
Same here. Every year I swear I won't participate in these threads, but...

I ordered the Apple Plum silicone and the Sunset Purple Beats cases. I’ll send back one or both. Not thrilled with Apple cases this year. I have a case and wallet combo coming from MOFT as well and a couple coming from Amazon so I just have to decide what I’m keeping once the phone gets here.
Freak out after Wednesday or Thursday is normal if a tracking # doesn't show.
That's how most past orders were handled in the past. We didn't get a tracking number until Monday or Tuesday.
This year, progress is much faster than previous years which is causing the antsy comments here.
So I am chill because I know the 20th is when it will arrive....
Remember, even if your phone arrives in the US (SDF airport) today, it will sit in the warehouse until Thursday when it finally moves to their final destination for delivery on Friday.
From a past iPhone pre-order consumer for many years......
It's so refreshing to hear that other people get multiple cases also and decide which they like and send the others back. I do the same thing because you can't really tell how a case will look and feel on the phone until you get it and try it on the phone. My coworkers think this is hilarious and joke with me that if Amazon stops their free returns it's going to be because of me.
😂I don’t think they’ve ever used FedEx for iPhones
Yes they do.
When a pre-ordered iPhone 14 did not get on a flight from China, mine arrived on launch day via FedEx from the local Apple warehouse in Ontario, CA.
I’m going to try out a Beats case to start. If that doesn’t work out, I might go with the Otterbox Symmetry case (cactus leather).
At least Apple doesn't, anyway. I was thinking some people in years past were saying on here that some carriers used FedEx for orders
FedEx Ground was used on launch day - got tracking the night before.
Originated from AI Ontario, CA (Apple warehouse) - they pulled from Apple Store stock.
I live less than 5 miles from Ontario, CA so ground meant next day.
Just like my Apple Magsafe case that I ordered yesterday is arriving today from Ontario, CA.
There are a few of us. We will either get movement tonight, or not show anything until Wednesday.
But we will get them Friday.
The wait begins… my UPS MyChoice says its on its way from CH, looking forward to following tracking with yall again! Im in California btw
If you chose ISPU then it won't charge until the delivery is either past customs or enroute to your local Apple store.
If you chose delivery, authorization was made instantly - check your card account for recent authorizations / pending charges.
Mine was the Apple Card and they already billed me even before I placed the order during the Pre-Pre ordering with card authorization on Monday.
Yes, for me it did last year. Mine was scheduled to arrive two Weeks after release day Friday and I ended up getting it one week after release. Happened for many of us as I remember. I was glued to this forum! Best of luck with the date moving up for you!
I wasn't referring to FOMO related to delivery, just getting early tracking details.
