I was able to print a pre-sign sheet directly from Apple for my iPhone 15 Pro! You just sign it and tape it to your front door for the UPS driver.
The RC is often the same build as the public release, on mine I still have 3 options for Off, iOS 26 Public or Developer Betas so not sure why you don't have the other options showing.
I had the RC installed. In my update screen, I just got the option to install 26 at the bottom of the updates screen, under an “also available” heading or something. Installing it now.
For those of us with 9/19 dates (I originally had the 9/25 glitch date lol) as of today, Monday afternoon I’ve yet to see any tracking on my UPS MYCHOICE and usually other years I see tracking by now.
Oddly AWU3 is not showing either which also has a 9/19 date.
Anyone else not showing even a tracking number yet?
I was charged on Saturday for the phone and the watch the day I preordered it (9/9)

I think the watches and the AirPods are coming from Indiana. I’ve had tracking details since early a.m. 9/12/25, has to be my Ultra 3
no tracking number yet, I'm still on processing with a 9/19 date
Nothing yet. 9/19 delivery ordered from Apple at opening of preorder.
My driver has always left the phones with our pre-printed signed authorization, but we live in a pretty safe area on a dead end street. We’ve never had a problem with any of our packages being stolen (knock wood)
Wait! Are you telling me the thousands of emails people send to Tim for small issues don’t go directly to him? My heart has been 💔
Hi I did in store pickup for the first time. Will I also be getting a tracking number or will I have to wait for Apple to tell me?
Thanks
Thanks
Fixed it now I was scared that I would be on a broken iOS just days before my new phone arrives and would have to basically reset twice
No you don't get a tracking, just an email that your order is/will be ready.
At this point, I think we need some insider information... who do you have at Apple or UPS that could give some insight into Apple iPhone distribution this year.
I see anything on UPS, FedEx, and I haven’t been charged for the phone yet either haha. My watch has been charged but don’t see a tracking number yet either. 🤷♀️
Ordered iPhone 17 Pro Max Orange - iPhone 17 Pro Blue - Apple Watch Ultra 3, all 3 have charged my card, but no tracking information in UPS My Choice or FedEx yet.
Please share the special thread you guys (not guts, oops) are setting up, I’ll make sure to block it. lol
Enjoy today’s iOS update and get ready for your new phone. But don’t stop caring about Tim!

If all phones are indeed in the US now, I'm guessing the tracking rollout will be staggered as they get to each individual order... I have no tracking info yet either but generally by this time if it was coming from China, we would see movement. Also, not so sure this move is to avoid tariffs, could be an operational decision with easier US distribution with the phones already in the US. I guess we will see what the phones say is the date of manufacture.
No tracking here yet, on FedEx or UPS. Sad that it sounds like the fun games of tracing these planes from CN won't apply this year.
Can someone DM me the "other forums" where a lot of the active participants of prior years went?

Yeah...can blame our president? Without his tariffs, this wouldn't have changed.
