Also just got charged for the tax portion of my in store pickup 16PM black financed by T-Mobile through Apple.
 
Like others have said through flightaware.com. I wait for the departure scan on ups and then look for the corresponding ups flight on flightaware.
Flight Aware Q:
Do you know if the origin airport will be PVG or CGO ?

Haven't seen any movement except for one out of PVG.

"Once you've received your UPS tracking number from Apple, use this page to figure out what flight is carrying your iPhone or Apple Watch. The “departure scan” in your UPS tracking should match the departure time for a flight listed below.

You can also follow the /r/iphone subreddit for even more tracking ideas."

Our dear yaya had all the insider logistical movement information but unfortunately I have no clue. I’m going to have to wait until it departs and then I’ll know the airport. Hopefully some other forum member is in the know? We used to have a ups pilot that gave us some really good info
 
Placed my order for iPhone 16 Pro Max White Titanium at 5:14 AM PT. Website didn't work on my Mac or Windows PCs. Ended up getting in with my Android phone on LTE to place the order. Shipping was already bumped to September 30. Luckily I was able to reserve store pickup on 20th.

Guess I made the cut off because pretty much 12 stores near me say currently unavailable.
I was just charged for my order.
 
Does anyone have tracking for a regular 16? I know last year the non-pro 15s were already in the US, so they didn’t get tracking until Wednesday or Thursday
 
My Apple Card was just charged for the tax on my ISPU of a 16 Pro Max 1TB Black Titanium. Now just have to countdown until 9:15 am Friday.
