[doublepost=1474685048][/doublepost]Apparently everyone is blowing up apples phones, I called to see if they could clarify their vague email and the computer told me due to extremely high call volume, they couldn't take my call and hung up on me. Lol

Hit that like button if you just got an apple email for a Saturday delivery
I got both the messed up formatted email then the corrected one too, stating it'll be delivered Saturday 9/24. We'll see!
Yep, my package just arrived at Louisville and I got the email from Apple confirming Saturday delivery. Here's hoping they're not toying with us again.
Just out of curiousity, does your UPS tracking show that it will be delivered on Saturday?
Nope. UPS still shows "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." Hoping to wake up in the morning and see "On vehicle for delivery"
I think mine might be on that same flight but I haven't heard anything yet.Nope. UPS still shows "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later." Hoping to wake up in the morning and see "On vehicle for delivery"
Also got the email from Apple saying it would be delivered today (Sat, Sept 24).
But UPS still not saying when it will be delivered. Mine just arrived at DFW airport, so I would imagine I should see "Out for delivery" within the next 1-2 hours if it really is going to come today.

Same here. Mine landed at my local airport (EWR) less than an hour ago. Just a minute ago UPS updated the status which sounds to me like I'm getting it today but the scheduled delivery date haven't officially updated.
"A late flight has caused a delay. We're adjusting plans and working to deliver your package as quickly as possible. / Your shipment is scheduled to arrive today after the delivery commitment time."
The flight wasn't delayed based on flightaware but it's probably a canned message. Hopefully it updates to out for delivery soon!

[doublepost=1474718499][/doublepost]Count my Apple Watch among them.
An increasing number of customers who ordered the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus have noticed irregular movement on their shipments, as confirmed by multiple tipsters who have contacted us. The peculiar UPS tracking information has also been documented by several Twitter and Reddit users.
MacRumors reader Daniel G., for example, has seemingly seen his iPhone 7 Plus order move between Shanghai, China and Anchorage, Alaska, only to end up back in China. The shipment even made a brief stop in Osaka, Japan, before heading to Louisville, Kentucky en route to Long Island City in Queens.Other MacRumors readers said likewise in discussion topics titled "My iPhone is on a travel adventure" and "Waiting for UPS."
Reddit user AlphaAnger, too, shared a nearly identical scenario:Twitter user Minton, who shared the UPS tracking information pictured above, has seen his iPhone order travel from Zhengzhou, China to Incheon, South Korea to Louisville, Kentucky, at which point it was seemingly sent back to Hong Kong. The entire movement took place within a span of just three days.
Minton is not alone, as several Twitter users have noticed similarly irregular movement on their iPhone orders this week.
In some cases, shipments have moved between the U.S. and Asia in only a few hours, which is unrealistic even when accounting for time zone differences. UPS has allegedly told some customers the irregular movement is related to paperwork, but weather and mechanical issues could also be involved.
Whatever the underlying reason may be, the issue appears to be slowing down iPhone deliveries for at least some customers in the United States. Some customers on Twitter have complained that their new iPhone is "stuck in Korea," while others have vented their frustrations towards UPS's customer service account.
