At least for me in previous years. They didn’t give a window for the iPhone on launch day. The few years they did they would ignore my requests for My Choice time windows.
But we shall see how this year goes!
Does the UPS website allow you to see on map where the truck is? I haven't had a delivery to watch from UPS in a while.
I saw that for my new case as well as my husband’s iPad earlier this week. So, I imagine I’ll see it with the iPhone tomorrow. I do recall it from previous times I’ve does this, as well.
Why is it Apple delivery of new products is always on a Friday that I work? Every flipping year. 
You're not the only one. I got the same "stuck" situation. Was charged for taxes and downpayment on midday Tuesday, moved to "preparing to ship" within an hour, then moved back to "processing" Tuesday night, and it's been there since. Apple still says my phone is arriving tomorrow. I guess some distribution centers are more diligent than others in updating tracking. Ordered Pro Max deep blue 1TB.
Yeah seems there are quite a few of us that are in this exact situation
It's probably more of living in the IT world my whole career and being a psychological thing - but I just get piece of mind when going from a major revision on MacOS or iOS, or switching hardware completely - I always do fresh. Never had issues getting things synched back up from iCloud and Microsoft services - other than a few tweaks here and there.
My Uncle Sal is heading down to his local Apple Store. He usually buys a few workers a cup of coffee and chats about release days of the past. Good time!
Yes, though I pay the $20/year for my choice premium so not sure if it’s a paid feature or not
Haha UPS is a well-oiled machine? My UPS driver who successfully bid on my route about a year ago refuses to deliver signature required packages. He has a short walk from my rural gate where I post signs that I'm home and please come to the door but he absolutely refuses. With a 12-hour window, even though I have My Choice Premium, I can't sit out by the gate all day waiting for him. He parks in the road blocking all traffic, slaps a door tag on my gate, and takes off. even if I'm yelling to him through my security camera to please wait. I know he hears me because he rudely answers, "I'm not waiting!" Numerous complaints, UPS has done nothing. And now he knows I've filed complaints, even though they're supposed to be anonymous (he told me he knows and good luck), he's retaliating by also not delivering non-signature-required packages and falsely reporting we refused delivery. I'm worried he'll also do that with my iPhone tomorrow. Yes, one lousy driver, but after a year of this misery, I think a well-oiled machine would have rectified it already. Sorry for the rant, sore spot.
Sorry this is happening to you.
At this point, why not just hold the new iPhone package at the UPS distribution center instead of dealing with so much uncertainty?

For the past few years, iPhones and watches for release date delivery, always had signature required in the UPS tracking. I don’t see the requirement this time.
Sacramento here, as well. UPS label didn’t show up until late last night, and Apple shipped status this morning. I’m guessing they’re still working through orders for our region. But, if your order still says delivery tomorrow, you should get it then. With the iPhones coming from relatively close in SoCal, there’s time.
Wooho both Airs OTW to Miami, and bases preparing for 8:00-8:15 am pickup tomorrow
My Fedex guy just came with my 15PM AC+ replacement, and goes "oh is that the 17" - bless his heart. I asked him if he did release day deliveries and he said yes but the fact that he thought my replacement was a 17 a day early makes me wonder lol!
They are setting up barricades down the block at the store already, good times haha.

Woohoo!
For delivery to the southern California Sierras we have two Airs and a AWU3 separately scanned in Ontario, CA and a APP3 scanned in Louisville, KY.
Updated in the Apple Store and MyChoice this morning.
One FedEx trade in box out of two showing up as well.
No info on the deliveries requiring a signature nor any options to pre-sign or direct to a pick up point.
Super excited for everyone on this silly shared journey.
