My trade in Kit should not weight .9 pounds and will not be sent express, next day. I, too, now think both the watches and iPhones are already stateside!!!

That is your phone - they always have some phones pre-staged in the US. Given the uncertainty with tariffs I would expect more of them are already inside the US.
 
Just got a text from Apple after sending an email to Timmy - my Air order got bumped from 9/25 to 9/19 delivery !

Whoohoo !!!:cool:

Big question: should I cancel the ISPU backup order for the 19th ???
I wouldn't until I have the delivery on hand.

All carrier phones are already here stateside.

Not sure about the Apple.com orders - waiting to see when the label gets generated today or tomorrow or Wednesday....

Wouldn't it be great if this year they originate out of India ???

Oh very good point - thinking back to last year when my 16 Pro delivery got "lost" by UPS.

The local UPS distribution warehouse in Ontario, CA lost track of it as soon the truck arrived from the SBD airport.

Here's my story:

  • Apple couldn't help me and said it's up to UPS.
    Opened a case with UPS, nothing.
  • Then after 5 days I filed a police report for the felony theft of $1000 item.
  • Ontario police arrived at UPS the next day, and UPS magically found my phone.
  • Delivered a week later with a generic box that had been opened and retaped.
  • I think an employee or contractor was going to take it out of the country....
  • Returned that delivery phone because I had already picked up the 16 Pro at the Apple Store on Saturday....

That was NOT fun.

This time, I have my backup ISPU so I'll keep that appointment just in case this happens again....
 
Why did people camp out for Star Wars Episode I?

Why did people camp out for Halo 3?

Why did people camp out to get the 7th Harry Potter book?

They like the company, they like the community that the company attracts, or some other 3rd thing.

Edit: I'm not being snarky. Fandom is different for everyone, and each fandom has its own traditions.
Halo 3? Really?

Been there.... Ive seen it all over the years (and, Yes im sure each year Apple, UPS, FedEx, etc have improved their supply and distribution but still), from last minute updates from Apple to delivery drivers claiming they attempted to deliver, to the delivery coming the minute i go in the shower after waiting all day lol

Is this a joke?

Knowing your story I was surprised it was even a question. lol

I have two ISPU phones for Friday. Orange 1TB and Blue 2TB, still calculating what i need and will probably decide by in-person color impressions.

Looking forward to Friday!

Did you just preorder a phone? I was under the impression that phone only shipments were lighter. I am trying to track down which of the two shipments I have a tracking number for is for the phone.

Yes, I ordered only an iPhone via IUP. I am receiving a trade in kit but based on the weight I’m assuming it’s the iPhone.

Interesting. I assumed that the 0.7 pound package was the phone and the 1.5 pound package was the Airpods + Watch but maybe I have it backwards.
 
Many of us. I think it's a glitch that affected people, especially IUP members, who placed their orders right when the Apple Store opened. People who place their orders a bit later got launch day delivery and ISPU option. I sent an email to Tim Cook (tcook@apple.com) and got a call from someone on his exec team who said he would investigate and try to fix it. I suggest others in the same boat do the same so we have some strength in numbers.
Luckily, it updated within a few hours to 9/19.
