No reason to worry, it's normal.

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 😂

They are already in the USA and you will see tracking later Thursday.

Ordered a deep blue PM delivering on Tuesday, however I am picking up an Air to test out on Friday.

 

[Jackbequickly]

Has anyone ordered the 17promax clear mag safe case from Apple and has it already? Wanted to see if it really is white on the back?

I erased the picture, I have one and the back is a white as snow! Ugly! Mainly interested in the buttons working well/easy. That is importantly and I figure the Apple case get it right.

 

[Jackbequickly]

Same here. I’m on the West Coast… anyone else? Seems like a lot of the ones I’ve seen get tracking are east

The phone and watches for the West coast were on that last vessel off Venezuela that we blew up😳

 

[NotApplicable]

Are the US phones made in India?

iJustine's iPhone Air review unit (US/CA/MX/SA/A3260) is made in China

Last I checked (about 10 minutes ago) my preorder was showing as "preparing to ship." Checking tracking via UPS using the order number shows the package not on UPS possession yet, even though delivery is still scheduled for 9/19.

When do preorders usually say "shipped?" It's been a while since I did a preorder.

West coast (LA area) here with no UPS tracking in My Choice or through reference number. Seems this year, they're likely coming from somewhere close. My guess is Ontario.

Or Rialto... CA has nearly 40 million people, the largest in the country so probably multiple staging sites.

 

[itguy247]

Yes with UPS you can pay to change delivery. People in the past paid to have it sent to a UPS store and held for pickup since you can no longer have it held out right for some weird reason

Sometimes Apple puts restrictions on it and the options in UPS MyChoice are very limited. I think two years ago it was adult signature required and I could not have it held for pick up before first delivery attempt. If I paid the change the deliver I think the first attempt was the following business day not Apple’s launch day.

Checkout Spigen, they have a clear case that the back matches the color of the phone, so if you have a Blue or Orange should look nice.

Usually today/tomorrow is when Apple marked it as shipped as the phones got their import scans in SDF.

With it seeming like all launch day inventory is in the US, I would probably expect it to be tomorrow.

"Preparing to ship" - NYC zzz

West coast here. No tracking yet.

 

[mtbenti]

Was charged and moved to preparing to ship yesterday... late last night moved back to processing, still there now in Apple Store app and no UPS updates in app.. still showing 9/19 delivery though... aside from the 9/25->9/19 issue, it definitely seems different this year than the other years

 

[dreamwife]

same NorCal nothing yet.

Same - Bay Area - nothing. And usually it shows up in MyUPS - esp since I have the premium one…

Check Spigen store on Amazon, it's cheaper there

Sometimes not until the day before. You're phone will arrive on the 19th though relax lol

 

[DemonMF777]

I bought that one too, and it arrives Friday. I have the one (also ESR) with the kickstand around the camera, but after opening it, I don't like that position. It's very clear and feels nice though.

LOL... ordered that same one too! Was gonna get a different Spigen one, but it didn't come for a couple weeks, so gonna try this one out to start. 👍🏻

 

[cacheout]

When do we get charged the first month from Citizen?

 

[4sallypat]

So The option will become available once at arrives at my local sorting facility I don’t have the option to send it to access point it says not available for this package

Yes, once the tracking number is available, track it and when it shows up at your local UPS hub, use the app to select delivery options - UPS access Point.

Try not to select a UPS access point that is in a different county.
That will add an extra day in transit to the delivery.

I get that. Check their Amazon store, sometimes its cheaper

My credit card just got actual charge for in-store pickup on 9/19. Can't wait!
