I'm not in the upgrade program, but I do get the new phone from Apple each year and trade-in my old one. They do just say you have 2 weeks to send the old one back, but maybe if you call Apple and explain your situation, they will say that you can ship it back as soon as you get back home. The trade-in kits come FedEx, so if you set up your new phone Friday and get everything transferred off the old one, you could have it boxed up and just have a co-worker drop it off for you at a FedEx or in a drop off location.
Got a tip for us?

That’s the plan at the moment. Is asking my boss or one of my coworkers to give me a hand. There’s a FedEx store a few minutes away. I’ll charge and wipe my phone before I leave the office on Friday and then when the trade in kit arrives they just have to throw in the box and drop it off. I’ll be buying someone lunch when I get back.
Guys, I'll appreciate your help with this.
I entered the incorrect city (Hollywood) but the proper zip code (Pembroke Pines) in the shipping address. I contacted Apple Support (chat) to request a correction. They claimed I needed to wait until the order was shipped before editing the information, as the option is unavailable to them too.
Is it the right approach? Or Can I do something else, such as make contact by phone?
I'm worried! Thank you.

Yeah, in looking back at a screenshot I took of the start of my tracking last year, there will be another Departed ZhengZhou, actually two days later and then an arrival scan in Incheon, KR about 3 hours after that. This all seems to be following the same travel days as past years. So I'm anticipating, for Wave 2, the next scan we see will be a departing scan from ZhengZhou dated 9/17 in the early morning around 4:30 AM and then arriving in Incheon around 7:30 AM the same day. That's as far as screenshot showed.
Everything should move much faster after that. I was able to do that a couple years ago. I called UPS and talked with International Customer Service and they actually gave me the full tracking number after giving them some of the information I had, so you might be able to still do that, but definitely ask to talk to International Customer Service since the package originates from outside the United States.
Congrats on all the updated iphones being shipped next year ill have this type of fun
I was thinking I got my trade-in kit before I got my new phone, but I can't remember exactly.
I'm thinking UPS is going by the zip code anyway, but you could try calling UPS (ask for International customer service) and explain that to them. It might not even be an issue is everything is based on the zip code.
you can go on UPS and change it for a small fee i believe i've done it before ( couple years ago ) look at UPS.com and should be able to change the address with a small fee
Pretty much all day yesterday the UPS app was showing the “this is a new tracking number…” message but woke up today with the actual tracking # and showing movement in the app for my phone!
For the Apple stores in my area (suburban Seattle) this is how it's looking as of this morning.
16 Pro Max: completely sold out, all colors and capacities
16 Pro: mostly sold out, with the 1TB the lone exception
16 Plus: all widely available
16: Teal 256 sold out, everything else widely available
So if people are considering lining up on launch day, would they have the forethought to check the Apple website first? Is the website accurate? Could somebody still get lucky?
I ask because some websites for major retailers aren't at all accurate on store inventory, items that say sold out are in stock and vice versa.

I finally got tracking this morning as well so it looks like this first batch is leaving together! Can’t wait to track flights!!!
I got 16P Natural 512GB, unfortunately I’m unable to check my status rn for some reason, but I think it should be here on Launch Day!
People get lucky a lot with Apple, call it a tactic, but I’m sure as you get closer to launch day the iPhones will be restocked for pickup out of nowhere. If not, you can either wait 1 week after launch to schedule a pickup, or you just place an order right now. Anyway people seem to get “lucky” with their deliveries too, iPhones estimated to arrive in October, show up at your front door on launch day, so you never really know.
