Because it is already in America and will ship next day air saver, the fun of tracking has been taken from us. You will see movement on Thursday, late.
Why's that a bad thing? You're almost certainly going to get it on whatever day Apple says you will, even if it still says "preparing to ship" up until the day before. Trust the process.Preparing to Ship.
My iPhone has shipped according to UPS.
CHECK YOUR UPS ACCOUNTS

I had that happen too. It’s one thing to be delayed, but then to not deliver at all is aggravating,
Mine shows nothing, order is still “preparing to ship”
Same. With a distribution hub only 25 miles from my house, I imagine I may not see anything until tomorrow it even Thursday. It’s not like it has far to go.
Mine is, as well. But it’ll arrive Friday. Always does, no matter how much it looks like “there’s no way it’s gonna make it.”
You can use the UPS app and sign up for MyChoice to see incoming packages. If it’s in their system at this point, you’ll see it. If you prefer to just go to the UPS website, you’ll can try searching by reference number and putting in your order number. But, if it’s not in their system yet, it won’t show.

Are you sure this isn’t cloud white? I thought the edges were more warm on the light gold 🧐
Yes, as a "professional" airline passenger, about 2 million miles including many roundtrips to Australia and China, I really enjoy watching and tracking flights.
It was really fun to get my iPhone Xs Max on launch day in 2018, it flew out of HKG to ANC to SFD to CVG. Very important getting the phone delivery to fit my schedule that year as a few days later I flew to HKG and any delay would have meant traveling with my older phone. Having tracked the phone all the way to the US, I noted we flew the reverse path of my phone's journey to me just days earlier.
During tracking I had enjoyed watching the iPhone flights approaches into ANC, and on my return we flew just to the south of ANC. I was able to see the Northern Lights while watching the UPS flights below as they crossed the mountains and dropped over the Cook Inlet to land on 7R. It was fun to know the exact path the cargo planes were taking as I'd watched them so carefully while we were all tracking flights trying to figure out which one our phones were on by departure and arrival scans. And like our phones, I slept the whole way across Canada. lol
So sorry everyone didn't get to enjoy this year's tracking with that long pair of flights from Asia to Louisville. Most people had no idea how long it'd take, and that actually it was a very short 14 hours to get that phone 7000 miles to Louisville!
I had wondered how the tracking would be different this year, but no idea it'd be this different. Apparently the phones don't get assigned and labeled to individuals in China like in previous years. Apparently Apple now splits and labels them once they arrive in the US, like the carriers. That doesn't have to be done a week in advance to show up in UPS app way before delivery. Those labels can be created "last minute" and shipped to "easily" arrive on launch day, maybe routinely is a better word that easily.
iPhones are coming soon, get your backup strategies ready.
Your order number from Apple. The one that starts with W
Yes that's a clone of my morning. Seems there's a problem with my My Choice Premium account as well. They'll call me back...
Yes so did I but this year it seems not to be working. That's what we've been discussing.
It flips to Shipped when it clears customs in Louisville.
IUP Trade in boxes always came the next week for me. Are they now coming at the same time or next day?
