My Apple pick up store order just got charged to my account!, Does that mean the Store got their shipment in already? I know my pick up window is for later on the day but I’m ready to go when I get the text saying it’s ready for pick up
 
It’s all software. Technically the 15pro is the first gen with it. We have a bit more horsepower to process things on device but the cloud will do the heavy lifting. I imagine over the next few years there will be chip improves for the phone to do it natively without a data centre.
Oh thank you, that makes much more sense… I guess I’m more future-proofed than I had originally thought. Kinda reminds me of Tesla with all their software update improvements

How do you find the correct flight #
It's an art form. Using the FlightAware website, track UPS places from China > Incheon; Incheon > Anchorage; Anchorage > Louisville; Louisville > your location. You have to follow the tracking info and match your "departure" timestamp with the 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.
It depends on which factory the devices are coming from: CGO is ZhengZhou based and Kunshan City will use PVG -Shanghai.

In the last 20 minutes a new 747-400 Cargo flight appeared on the CGO to AKDT route - National Cargo N8686 leaving CGO at 8:15 CST (China) / 8:15 PM ET tonight. Please be on the watch for UPS updates

I haven’t preordered since iPhone 6 and it’s great to not need to get up at 2 AM 😅. My order has moved to Preparing to Ship.
 
Ordered 3min after pre-order & received a notification from UPS at about 5am on 9/14. I’m in Maryland.

I know that, but if my pick up time is 4pm on Friday, and I get the text around 11am, I’ve been told it’s ready then
I imagine it would depend on how many walk-ins the store has to handle. I believe they would prioritize folks with appointments, but not sure what would happen if you show up that far in advance of your reservation.

Ordered a Desert Titanium, 16 pro max with 512GB. Having it shipped so delivery date is Oct. 8th. I am good with that.
 
Please wait for it.

UPS My Choice will be the first to alert you when a label has been generated.

It may take up till Thursday to depart so patience.
Thanks. I can already see a label was created by using my reference number (ie order number). I’m also able to see the last four tracking numbers. Was just curious how to retrieve the full tracking number.

I have been through each launch, surprisingly I’ve finally become patient. But still curious about it moments of boredom. Ha.

Might be a truck. Mine departed ZZ at 6:25 9/14 and the next scan was a hub/sorting center still in ZZ.
Thanks to whoever suggested AfterShip once you get the tracking number. That’s showing that the facility is a hub instead of the vague “facility” showing up on UPS.
You're right. We're now in some facility in ZZ.

Shipment Progress:
9/15/2024
06:30 PM
On the Way
Arrived at Facility
Zhengzhou, China Mainland

EDIT: I downloaded the AfterShip app, thanks to your mention of it. Good to know more details about my order. 👍
