The UPS app tells you the flight number?? Then go on FlightAware app.

UPS app won't tell you the flight #, but there other ways to find out which flight your order is on - here on MR.

Keep an eye out on for the UPS thread that will absolutely drive you nuts trying to figure out which flight has your phone....

Flightaware tracks ALL flights and specific to the time of departure based on the tail number.

FlightAware is not only for commercial / freighter flights, but here's my recent flight I flew as a student pilot in a small plane - it's still showing a week after I flew a Diamond DA40 plane with my instructor:

So like I have done in the past, I placed a backup order for ISPU and got 9/19 pickup 10 minutes after the pre-bagged preorder.

Will return whichever gets here last.

It's a great way to ensure launch day delivery/pickup having 2 orders but returning the other order on Apple's dime is a way of making a statement not to mess with us OG loyalists...

The only reason I didn’t order a back up is because I’m on IUP financed with Citizen. The serial # is tied up to the loan. So if I want to switch out the phones, you have to basically get the loan switched too. I’ve done this twice in the past (for replacement phones) and it was such a headache.

If the 25th stays, I’ll just deal with it, but it’s definitely a bummer!

And you’d trade-in your old phone? Is the trade-in deal as good as 1Up? Hmm, I’m on 1Up because it’s an easy way to get rid of previous phone. Lastly, how do I get off 1Up, simply pay it off early and own it?

Yes, trading in my 16 Pro.

Don't know how 1UP works.

Getting $580 trade in credit so that's not too bad...

Surprised blue air 256 still showing launch day delivery in my area

256 pro is as well seems like all colors

It’s the pro max and orange variants of it as well that are backed up

Even orange pro looks like launch day delivery

It must be because air is in a weird spot it’s essentially like an premium SE as it sits to close to the price of the pros and more than a vanilla 17 but with less features in worse battery and because only us tech nerds order on preorder day a lot of us know this basically people buy it only for design

Ordered mine at 8:06 am EST and it shows the 25th, but if I were to order one now, it would arrive on the 19th. Does anyone know if it'll change to the 19th? Has this ever happened to anyone over the years

It’s very likely a glitch if I try ordering again it gives me 9/24-9/29 which wouldn’t make sense that orders after the 25th date can possibly be delivered before

100% same here.

Felt a bit cheated after going thru all the hoops from the announcement to pre-bagging the order and finding out at 5am PDT that it's 9/25 delivery.

So like I have done in the past, I placed a backup order for ISPU and got 9/19 pickup 10 minutes after the pre-bagged preorder.

Same but I chose pick up and I get it on launch day
 
I am picking up my orange 17 pro (512MB) on the 19th at the Apple Store. This was the easiest order ever. Everything went very smoothly on the Apple Store app. I had my preorder already set up, and it walked me through the steps of choosing the Store and pickup time window. Placed my order at 8:02, and got my e-mail at 8:03 AM (eastern). Most years the app wouldn't even let me in to start the process by then.

On the phone with Apple about glitch that I could not choose ISPU this morning although that's how I set it up yesterday. She says their systems are down. Come on Apple, you know every year it's crazy on pre-order day, surely by now you know how to be ready for the influx of orders. So now I have an IUP order to deliver on the 25th and an Apple Card installments order to pick up in store on Sept 19th. I wonder whether I can change my Sept 19 pick-up order to the IUP when I go pick it up. Maddening after all the very careful prep I did yesterday.

it took a minute for the cancel option to appear, but I also had 25th shipping date. I canceled and re-ordered for 19th ISPU. Just make sure it's available before doing so
 
Sorry if I’m slow lol but I just realized looking at my order picture that this whole chassis redesign eliminated the top and bottom antennas

I've been on iUP for years - I think since it launched? Yesterday, I set up my pre-order for one-click ordering this morning. I was allowed in the store about :4 after. All 512 Maxes were 9/25 deliveries and zero in-store pick up options for me (there are 4 stores within a 20-min radius). This will be the first time, going all the way back to my launch day '07 device, that I will not have a launch day device. Which [obviously] is not a big deal - it's a phone. More just totally unexpected. Of potential note: this is my first Max, so maybe those are a hotter commodity than the standard Pro I've been pre-ordering previously. If the poll attached to this thread is any indicator, perhaps that is a contributing factor.

Anyway, 512 blue Max en route. Happy pre-ordering, all!

UPDATE: just got the email that delivery has moved up to 2/19.

Ordered the iPhone Air - Space Black - 512GB.
What I found weird though at 8:03am EDT, when it finally let me into the site, it was showing me September 25 for delivery but September 19 for in-store pickup. I see other people had the same issues, so were they prioritizing in-store this year over delivery to cut costs?
Only issue was on my end that I kept getting an error for the check-in times. I would pick one and within seconds it would error saying no longer available. After about 4 choices it finally went through.
 
can someone help me? why cant i get the ATT trade in value on Apple's website? do i have to order on AT&T? on att is says i get $1099 but apple says $450

It may NOT be a glitch, they may just be prioritizing in-store over delivery this year to cut costs. Remember a lot of countries have stopped shipping to the US over tariffs. This may be an on purpose thing to get customers to the stores...
