I seriously think they are still making my (2) IPhone Pros.......maybe they ran out of Orange paint? 😜
Hmm. I think the second reference number (the first being order number) in the UPS tracking may be our new serial numbers. (It is similar in format to my more recent Apple hardware purchase.) I'm gonna go look at my Apple Account (formerly Apple ID) and see if it's somehow already associated.
Nothing like the day the embargo is lifted. Tons to youtubes to watch
Yeah, I have Apple Care+ but still my phone would be full of scratches and dents from falls. Apple Care+ would be only if it really breaks right?
I always wanted to go caseless but having my phone full of scratches and dents would drive me crazy lol
I don't think someone is "sicking the cops" when they've been asked to file a police report regarding an apparently stolen phone. And the investigation did result in finding the obviously stolen phone being surrendered in some fashion.
My delivery date from Apple is Friday for a 17 Pro. Nothing on UPS yesterday but mine also showed up this morning, listed as Next Day Air from within the US, 1lbs. So I'm sure it'll be picked up tomorrow.
As far as we know, they do. All of my stuff so far UPS, but still missing one. This is the first time all U.S. orders come from India instead of China, so no tracking for us this year.
I'll be giving that a shot this year. Phone-to-phone was always the most comprehensive way to transfer everything and since I am moving from a 15 Pro, it should be fast if I use a USB 3.2 cable.
I have done over air the last few years. While it takes some time, its such an easy process. Also, not sure you get any speed increase doing USB-C to USB-C. Depending on how much you have on your phone, figure 20 minutes to a couple of hours.
It appears the most important thing when using any backup from a previous iPhone is having your Apple Account password. If you don't know it but are logged into Apple device(s), you can initiate a password reset. And maybe even if you aren't currently logged in, the security landscape changes daily if you haven't noticed.
If you don't have space in iCloud for a full iCloud backup, Apple has provided temporary space for an iCloud backup to transfer to your new iPhone. There will be a "get ready for your new iPhone" under iPhone>Settings at some point, and it will offer the space there.
I think the iCloud Restore started via Quick Start is probably the fastest and easiest method. And most people don't like transfers between devices as they lock you out of both devices until the process is complete. With iCloud Restore it will complete most of the transfer and then let you use the phone while it continues to download apps, email and messages, settings, and files.
Apple support document regarding setting up a new phone:

It includes articles about using iCloud Restore or wireless transfer between phones.
Another article that includes restore from backup from iCloud and from Encrypted Backup on Mac.

Here is a wired transfer document:

Good luck and may the force be with you. lol
I have no label in MyChoice yet, but I imagine that this entirely depends on where you live. At least for the east coast and midwest, phones are coming from TN. Using Next Day Air, they probably won't be dispatched until tonight or tomorrow. Just my guess.
man i still have "shipment ready for UPS" for my watch (3 days now i think) and still no tracking number at all for my phone.
starting to wonder if that 9/25 glitch wasn't really a glitch. we'll see.

I have used the phone to phone wireless method for years now and it has been flawless. I will be doing it this year, too. It even moves my phone service from the old eSIM to the new one. ☝️
It does that regardless of the data transfer method, wireless, icloud, wired, etc. That's just part of the new phone setup.
Tracking number for iPhone 17 pro max been on UPS My Choice since 9/14 with no movement. My best guess is I’ll start seeing movement sometime early tomorrow. Interesting enough we are not seeing tracking yet from China to Alaska and forward. Either Apple already have bulk iPhones in the states or they just won’t let us see it 😂
No tracking yet, only see tracking info for the trade-in kit on fedex app
