Other USA Apple.com iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Delivery Thread

[yeahright]

Nothing for me yet. Ordered from Apple - no carrier.

Same here nothing for me. No carrier, 17 Pro Max 256GB Blue color. It still stuck at "Arrives Sep 24 - Sep 29"

So it seems a lot of us are in the same boat with zero tracking

 

[Ameer_1]

I was charged the tax a couple of days ago but no tracking info anywhere.

I was charged tax on Tuesday after the event on my Apple Card and I haven’t received a tracking number yet.

If it's stateside, then expect tracking updates around Wednesday - Thursday.

If it's overseas, then expect tracking today thru Thursday.

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS ON APPLE PRODUCTS

This is… not true. $1B and counting this year alone.

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)

Have you moved to preparing to ship. I’m in the same scenario and it hasn’t even moved to preparing to ship.

Forgive me for their wrong thread but i figured i would get answers here or be told to pound sand!! Is there an advantage to staying on 18 or moving to 26 on my 16 before migrating to the 17 on Friday at the Apple Store? I’d like to get used to the changes now but if it causes an issue or makes things take too long in store, i will stand by. Thanks all

Yup both the AWU3 and Pro Max went to Preparing on Saturday

I’d update now as your phone will come with ios26 otherwise you’ll have to update your current phone before you can transfer data to the new one

Fed-Ex is usually for trade in boxes and accessories.

Unless it's a carrier purchased iPhone...

Yeah, upon closer inspection, these are actually addressed from me as returns. Seems like they’re the return labels for the trade-in kits.

I moved to PTS I think on Saturday but no tracking info. Rats, Apple took away our tracking fun!

Very boring year this year unfortunately, AAPL must have figured out how to get UPS to block anything from China for launch I guess. We will probably all get scans when they land in the U.S and we will then know for sure.

I believe it's b/c Apple probably sent all these phones in Mar / April ahead of the Tariff deadlines. They are probably already here in the US.

 

[iPaper]

I have had a tracking number on My UPS since Saturday. Ordered via T-Mobile. Still don't have a tracking number for my Ultra Watch, also ordered via T-Mobile.

It's very unlikely that Apple was producing the 17 phones at scale 6 months ago.

 

[IceCool]

I can't even try to track with UPS My Choice since I live in an apartment that UPS considers "commercial". As a result, I am unable to add the address to My Choice. Does anyone have any potential solutions to this or am I just SOL?

There is no way they were mass producing these that early, They do not start till July/August

I called UPS about a similar issue. After more than an hour on the phone bounced around among departments, last guy said he'd call me back in 10 minutes. That was an hour ago. I'm done. When tracking shows up somehow it'll show up.

I agree, but it’ll be interesting to go to the battery health menu in settings, to see when the manufacture date was. I’m guessing no earlier than September.

Now I know what I'm doing once my phone is set up and running.

That means we have older tech. Phones are usually made July/August. If they are made as early as April I feel like there may be a premature battery issues. We'll see.

Your new iPhone may not come with iOS 26, but you’ll be able to update it during the transfer.

Have u tried setting up a My Choice For Business acct? Maybe that'll work if it's considered commercial?

This.
I have to use both because I have my iPhone sent to my work.

 

[JBinPDX]

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!!!

I've also got a .9 lb package coming from Clayton, IN. The only things that should be mailed to me are a watch and a trade-in kit for the phone. So my guess is this is the watch.

 

[JBinPDX]

Perhaps a stupid thought, but perhaps Apple has gotten UPS to suppress tracking info until the iPhones are in the US.

As I recall, pretty much they always have. I don't remember getting a tracking number from UPS until the phones cleared customs.
