Other đź“±đź“±U.S.A. - Apple.com - New iPhone 16/Plus/Pro/Pro Max US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread (2024)

I chose the 9:15 am pick-up slot at my local Apple Store. UPS usually doesn’t delivery until my area until after 4 pm or 5 pm.
i got stuck with 10:45!

i had this little feeling that I should order a watch for store pick up when the 8:00 times were still available in case there was an issue getting release day delivery.... but noooooooo dumb me didn't do it! my biggest issue is... while UPS, for the most part, hasn't been coming til 4ish.... it will be my luck they come earlier while we're out picking up our phones! UGH!
 
right!? i got stuck with ISPU (still trying to figure out what i'm going to do about my watch that's being delivered on friday!?) because i'm NOT a patient person and couldn't wait til oct for my phone! i MUST have release day! lol!
Did you manage to get a morning time slot for you ISPU? Or will it be a race the store and a race home to beat the big Brown truck?

Ordered at 8:30am EST yesterday, current status is “preparing to ship” and tracking is already showing up in UPS My Choice (purely based on destination address).👏🏼
Same here. If it’s like last year, the Apple status will flip to “shipped” after the phone clears customs on the US side… probably Wednesday or early Thursday.
 
That app did me dirty. I did the pre check out/saved but nothing was saved. Not even my info was saved. I had to fill out everything. Had it by launch day but by the time I filled out everything and checked out it’s now October 2th-7th. PRO MAX 512GB in black.
 
ISPU is not as fun. I miss tracking the phone from China to my house lol
I just don't get that. I LOVE that I can trade in my phone WITHOUT it being lost/fake lost and Apple giving me crap for a week. I get to be IN STORE where ALL THE EXCITEMENT is.....who cares about where the UPS driver is? I;m sorry, but I am not interested in tracking my return phone or where my driver is.
 
Hi, which iPhone 16 Pro Max case are you guys planning to order? I'm curious to see what everyone’s going with! Oh, also a good screen protector recommendation would be nice! Thanks
Hi, I've been an avid Spigen Case user since I got my Samsung Galaxy S8

As for this year's case, I went with my usual Spigen Ultra Hybrid but this year will be my first year with a Magsafe Compatible case, and it seems like the first year they have a Magsafe Compatible Ultra Hybrid case with a built-in stand called the Ultra Hybrid S, so I am more than willing to try it out. As for colorway just like my iPhone 14 Pro Max case, I kept the Frost Black so that I can see the back of my phone without the yellowing of clear plastic.


But I will say all of Spigen's cases work very well and they have started doing some pretty fun colorways and printed-on case designs. The one thing I will say, as much as I would love to support them directly on their website, buy it from them on Amazon they are about half the price as they are on their website, and your still supporting them and you get them much quicker thanks to Prime.
 
I seem to always get my tracking info later, but I’m in St. Louis. We’re 3.5 hours or less by road from Louisville, KY and an hour by plane.
I was gone for a big chunk of the day and just catching up now reading what I missed. Yeah, I'm 1.5 hours west of St. Louis and I always seem to get my tracking number later also. I actually went back to last year's thread to find where I said when I got my tracking number and it was Sunday morning. I mentioned that I got the partial one searching by Reference Number Saturday night and then when I woke up Sunday morning I had the whole number in UPS MyChoice and I said I was in Wave 2. So there's different waves of shipments going out for next Friday's delivery date leaving at different times but then eventually combining and getting to Louisville at the same time to clear customs. So I'll assume that I'll see my whole tracking number by tomorrow morning. :)

Here’s hoping. I just chatted Apple Support in a vain attempt to see if they had it and could provide it. Common sense should’ve told me that wasn’t going to work. Oh well. I’ve checked periodically throughout the day and had no luck with reference numbers.

Maybe tomorrow morning we’ll wake up to some good news.
 
I was all set to order Friday Morning and made a personal mistake that resulted in me having to wait to order till today :-( 16 pro max 1tb black ti and im showing delivery October 8th-15th. So yeah kicking myself in the foot knowing that had I not messed up I could have had a in store pickup for the 20th. Hoping my order somehow gets bumped up. Of course the case I ordered will be here September 19th

Yes, fingers crossed, but I do feel hopeful. I go through this every year and you would think I would just remember how long it takes me to get that tracking number, but each year later, I can never remember exactly. 🤣 It seems like it is based on final destination as far as when the tracking numbers are created and the shipments leave ZhengZhou, but at least they all come together eventually. I bet we get the same scan times since we're in MO. We'll call it Wave 2. Who else is waiting to board our plane? :) :)
 
Are you getting that off the Apple Store app? Don't pay any attention to that. It won't change there until the day before it is supposed to be delivered. Watch the UPS MyChoice app for updates. :)
Correct, the app will have details on every departure / landing / customs clearance....
