Can you see the Loaded on Delivery Vehicle scan? If yes, then it should be in that truck. If you don’t see the Loaded on Delivery Vehicle scan, then most likely it was wrong sorted and put in the wrong UPS truck. I think that is my case too as I don’t have that scan. Mine is showing Processing at UPS Facility and then Out for Delivery. The UPS truck is still on the road so it could be delivered later today.

Yea, I do see the "Loaded on truck..." update
Thanks anyway for your reply @enricoclaudio .

:: doom :: gloom :: sadness :: 😭

To make things worse, the iOS 26 install on my iPhone 16 Pro Max is buggy as heck. I can't get text messages from my bank to authenticate, I can't receive or make phone calls, etc.

For those of you that are doing trade-ins of your old phone, don't throw the box away that you received your new phone in. There is a label and cardboard sleeve in there to return your old phone. It wasn't like that last year.

For those that haven't left but picked up and transferred to new phone, which method did you use that didn;t require signing into everything again and was most complete ? my iCloud backup is about 80gb

My blue 17PM has been delivered! Can’t play with yet since I had to run to an appointment right after it was dropped off.

 

[Jordan921]

My babies finally here.

My babies finally here.

Beautiful. Perf for Halloween. That's a 2-layer wallet on the back?

 

[rarebeauty]

Nice! That’s what I ordered. It’s still in the truck for today.

It’s very nice. The size is just right. It’s a nice change coming from a (heavy) 16 Pro Max. I think you’ll love it.

My iPhone 17 was delivered. I asked the UPS guy if he was delivering many iPhones today. He said, Oh my gosh, yes, and they all require signatures.

I did a phone-to-phone transfer. I only had to re-sign into my work Outlook, re-pair hearing aids. Everything else was ready to go.

Super easy.

First ever UPS fail for a new iPhone delivery.

Thank goodness I was nerdy and had a printout in BIG font with:
Tracking # xyz = iPHone Cosmic Orange, # abc = AirPods Pro 3, etc
As soon as I saw the UPS guy on the security camera, I ran to the door with the printout.

Note: He had just left my Watch and AirPods Pro 3 packages.
He did not knock for signature. Even though I had a big SIGN on the door saying "UPS, please knock loudly. We might be upstairs."

Then, UPS driver, said "while you're here, I might as well have you sign". He presented just a signature box to me on the handheld. I made him back up a couple screens to show me exactly what I was signing for.
On the good, the iPHone Cosmic Orange tracking # was not listed.
So at least the driver was honest, right?

I did receive the AirPods Pro 3 and Watch Series 11 packages.
But no 🍊 Cosmic Orange 🍊 iPhone 😭
So frustrating - the Official UPS status (see pic) shows "delivery attempted". NOT!
The driver claimed it was NOT on his truck. UPS status showed it was on his truck!

Now delivery status changed to Monday. When I click "change my delivery", it says "enter the infonotice #"
I did not receive an info notice # !!

Has this happened to anyone else? I think I'll just do store pickups from now on. T
his is too much hassle and worry.

Other oddity that was making me worry:
When I searched for my incoming packages, the phone package did NOT have the "AI" in bold above it. But the rest appeared as normal. I've never seen that. Now, it's "not on the truck" according to the driver.

I do believe the driver. I bet it's lost and not shipped.

Yes, happened last year when mine went missing and missed launch day.
Had to go to Apple Store and pick it up the next day.

UPS is running a little late for that 10:45am to 12:15pm window they gave me. 😞

 

[uniblab]

I follow enough UPS deliveries in my area to know what the pattern looks like. This van I'm tracking with my phone on it has operated in about a one square mile area north of my house since about 9AM. If it still has to go make the usual deliveries at the other end—three miles away—of the county road, this is going to be a really long day for the driver. I've never been given a delivery window for the phone. Just "by 7:00 P.M."

I suspect that they sent out many extra trucks today to focus on smaller sections of the greater Austin area.

Call the local UPS center and ask if they can put it on a Saturday delivery truck.

 

[FatalityPhase]

by the way for everyone that has received a phone today, does the box say made in india or
made in china?

Says China

 

[PlainEnvelopes]

My babies finally here.

I have that same card holder. it is nice

 

[C7 POWER]

Well, I am totally bummed.

I do this every year, and without fail my phone has always shown up on Launch Day. This year, My phone arrived into the Charlotte UPS Delivering Hub at 5:23am, but never went out for delivery.

Shows will be delivered by 7pm, BUT it was never put on the truck for delivery, Last scan was at 5:23am when it arrived.

My watch delivered by UPS today, but I was so excited for my Cosmic Orange Pro Max and at this point who knows when it will deliver

Apple said I have to wait until after the date passes for them to help.

 

[zakarhino]

Feel like I'm already over the Air honestly... 17PM is really nice, nice smooth edges. First thing you notice on the devices is the anti reflective display, blacks look blacker like on the S25 Ultra although not as strong.

Picked up the AW3 and AirPods Pro 3 too, glad to report my APP3 hinge is rock solid. My first watch ultra, I never liked that it was bigger but I think I'll take the extra battery life over the bigger and bulkier size.

 

[zakarhino]

Orange looks so bad in person, it should have been more metallic and saturated but in person it's a bit dull and the orange glass looks anemic or something.

All personal preference of course. Very very very glad I went with Silver

 

[markthrash]

Delivered at 12:30pm woooo Came home to this beauty. Loving how light it is. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!

 

[MareLuce]

Call the local UPS center and ask if they can put it on a Saturday delivery truck.

Thank you @4sallypat I will try that!

 

[Scrib]

Here!

 

[SaddleSC]

Woke up this morning and kind of regretted not pre-ordering the Sky Blue Air that I had in my cart last week. I checked local stock and it says "Delivery Today from local store if ordered by 2:00 pm". It was 1:48 pm...just placed the order and it should be here in a few hours...very excited!!!

 

[thearh]

My 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange arrived and I love the color. Also received my Apple Watch Ultra 3.

 

[Jordan921]

I have that same card holder. it is nice

Yea I like it a lot. Just wish it wasn’t so snug so it was easier to pull out your cards
