Anchorage is a refueling stop on the way to Louisville. Rarely, some Apple cargo is offloaded and sent to West Coast warehouses for local delivery. But, nearly all Apple iPhone cargo will head to Louisville for customs and distribution to local centers.I was surprised by that as it’s not the first entry into the US. Guess they don’t have the facilities in AK
Just searched mine with the entire order number and it showed up but only on their website by reference number , not the app. ! I was originally searching with the order number minus the last 2 digit but it couldn’t locate anything.I just checked again, and the reference numbers for my shipment DO NOT include a phone number... but it does list both the FULL order number from Apple as well the number without the last 2 digits. Maybe that will make a difference for some of y'all.
Departure scan from ZhengZhou 6:10pm
Same here! Looks like we're all on the same plane!Woo Hoo....Mine show "departed from ZhengZhou" at 6:10pm CN time
This is on my UPS app...still shows preparing to ship on Apple site
Moved to preparing for shipment.still shows processing…ugh
Both of mine have departed ZhengZhou as well; Sep 15 @ 6:10 pmLongtime lurker (many many years) and registered to jump in on the yearly thread tradition...
Order placed Friday morning at 8:02 am for home delivery to Atlanta Sep 20th, email confirmation within just a few minutes of that, cc charged within an hour for both. Saturday evening UPS My Choice showed two scans for Sep 15th between 3:00 and 3:15pm ZhengZhou (wave 2 I guess).

Apple doesn't use FedEx for iPhones, only UPS. Now, if you order it through a carrier, such as AT&T, then yes, they ship their iPhones through FedEx.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
Same here. We should see something later today or possibly tomorrow.Apple Card was finally charged for full amount on iPhone 16 PM 256 BT 30 minutes ago after order placed at 8:05 ET Friday. Order switched from processing to preparing to ship just now. No tracking information in UPS MyChoice yet.
keeping my fingers crossed that it will be the same as the t-mobile bypass last year and you can get by the activation screen just as easy
Last year and the year before that shipments went to Korea first then ANC.So assuming we leave from Zhengzhou for Alaska, it may end up being one of these flights (not necessarily today of course)
