I think you can get away with arriving a little before your pickup time but not like an hour before. It may depend on the store.
Funny, there was a guy at my Apple Store with a 5:15 reservation at 9:45. They left him in line but put earlier appts in front of him. I'm guessing was counting on making it to the front of the line and being sent in, but i'm not sure if that would or could happen as the line was lengthening while i was there.
 
10 minutes in and out of the Apple Store, my hour of appointments went really quickly!

I like the Blue, very nice. I do not notice the few grams heavier 17PM compared to my 16PM.

I asked and was told that our Apple Store does have the updater machine in back, but mine had to be updated, 5 minutes with my fast internet and a Thunderbolt 5 cable between Mac Studio and iPhone.
Updater machine?? Apple takes phone out of the box and the machine updates iOS much faster than WiFi?
 
So, just to give you an update… here in Puerto Rico we’re all seeing that message. Obviously, it can be “a little scary” or make us nervous, but personally I think it’s just a glitch since everyone is getting it. Still, we’re keeping an eye on things to see what happens throughout the day.

Mine still shows arrived at the destination hub but not out for delivery :) Oddly my watch is out for delivery and both showed on my UPS MYCHOICE app all week, but yesterday morning the phone dropped off the app as far as showing my pending deliveries but I can of course see it when tracking via the Apple APP. I am sad that it appears mine will not deliver.

There is a day one update to the new iPhones. Neither of the phones I collected from the Apple Store were updated, though apparently some may have been as they do have the machine that does it in the back room.

I understand some phones shipped with 23A330, which was at least a month ago, and updated to 23A345. I updated using my Mac Finder before using Quick Start.

BTW, my iCloud backup restore let me access the phone in about 15 minutes, whereas my restore from encrypted backup on the Mac was estimated to take 6 hours- as I recall from past restores I'd not have access to the new phone until that restore was completed... , in 6 hours! I got a lot of stuff, so other's mileage may vary.
Some may have been?? … Apple Store opened the box without asking? I would feel weird getting an opened box even if Apple Store said they were doing me a favor by updating.

Updating using MacFinder more reliable and faster than over-the-air?
 
Out for delivery, yay! Delivery window updated to 2:45-6:45 pm. Pretty typical arrival window for my UPS deliveries. They usually make it at the earlier end of that, but we’ll see. Either way, looks like I’ll have it in my hand sometime today!
