Ordered 2 17 PM from Apple at 8:01 EST. Got a notice about my trade label has been created on FedEx. But no shipping for my phones yet.
 
For those who already have a tracking number, could you please try tracking it by reference and let me know what “reference” is linked to your tracking number?

Is it your order number? Your phone number? Your email address? Or something else?

Thanks!
My 2 UPS watches coming have the order # as the reference.

It looks like the iPhones coming on launch day are already inside the USA. Either coming from Indiana or Tennessee. But for those that have a delivery in October(7-14) in my case, does that mean the iPhone is shipping from China or is it still coming from TN or IN.

No way to know. It’s clear they’ve changed logistics approaches this year. It’s anyone’s guess
 
I have a 15 PM.

I do a lot of video (personal, not pro use or anything), a lot in slo mo as well.

Will the 17 PM be much better than what I currently have? It’s bothered me that the 15 PM doesn’t do 4k slo mo.

Hopefully there’s an actual for video and photos over the 16 PM even!
Easy if you have access to an Apple Store: test yourself after 9/19/25. Note that some Apple Stores have special hours for Friday 9/19. E.g. my local store in CA opens at 8 AM instead of at 10 AM.

Okay, so this is odd.

As I mentioned earlier, I checked UPS and saw a delivery coming to me, 1.7 pounds, from AI in Clayton, Indiana. The cosmic orange 17PM was the only thing I ordered from Apple, so I assumed this was it, however people are saying their phones are being reported as different weights, and not coming from Indiana.

I look at additional details of this shipment from UPS and I see two reference numbers, one I don't recognize as anything in particiular, and one that looks like an obvious web order number beginning with W. I check my Apple account and my only order, the 17PM, has a web order number that does not match UPS. I then try using the reference number from UPS with my email address from Apple's order lookup page and it says they don't match their records.

I'm a bit lost and confused!
 
Looking into the differences, I'm torn. For my use case there isn't a ton of difference between 17 and 17 Pro for $300 more.
My expectation (I will test on Friday) is that three cameras instead of two is a ton of difference for me.

I preordered a 17PM for October delivery but might modify the order in the store after I actually handle the damn things.

So as it stands,
Just basically just a little over three more days until Apple Christmas time.
Like everyone else it seems, order went from the 25th to the 19th.
I would love to have a little bit more tracking than just ‘ a label has been created’ , but I’m not worried about it because Apple has delivered each and every time for me.
256 GBPM deep blue, 1.4 pounds
I don’t use most of the features that a “pro“ user would use, but I am 60 years old, and my eyesight is not what it used to be.
Truth be told if they made the iPhone Air with the screen the size of the Pro Max I would’ve went for that!

Someone just said their 17 Pro Max is 1.4 lbs. Everyone has a different weight lol
My 17 PM orange from T-Mobile, shipped with UPS, shows 1 lbs.

All I want to know is what happens between 4x and 8x zoom. They didn’t clarify that and even Sales Specialists have no clue. Does it sensor crop? Like if I zoom into 5x will I get a 24 megapixel image? Or an 18 megapixel image at 6x?
I am more interested in how competent the cameras are real world. The alleged specs of how many x zoom at what MP are really of no interest to me. I suspect that I will like the iPM 17 cameras' real world performance.
 
It’s been awhile but if we save our setup and do the preorder on Friday, is it ship only or do we get to do a store pickup?

I want to do a store pickup but I feel like I have to order it on the release date to do that. I don’t remember how I did it last time.
I tried on the website just now (Monday 9/15) and was not allowed to specify store pickup (I tried several times, different stores). So I ordered a 17PM for delivery 10/7-10/14, planning to possibly modify the order after hands-on testing in-store 9/19. Note that some Apple Stores have special hours for Friday 9/19. E.g. my local store in CA opens at 8 AM instead of at 10 AM.

I'm going to leisurely drive, then park and take a leisurely stroll to the Apple Store, my check-in time is 1:00pm-1:15pm ... no stress or anxiety for me :cool: :eek:. oh, and planning to set it up right there, migrating from my 13PM
I'm a night owl, and I picked 8:15 so I can be there, home and setting up by 8:45 hopefully (only a few blocks away!) I have friends Airs being delivered to me that day so will be working from home setting up mine and waiting for theirs :) End of day pickup time would drive me nuts!
