Other USA Apple.com iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Delivery Thread

[silvertech]

I purchased the Pro Max one time. That was the 11 PM. Over time, I realized that it just felt too big in my hand, and sometimes my hand would even start to hurt from holding it. I decided the next year to try the smaller Pro, but was concerned about screen size. For me, I haven’t looked back. The Pro feels so much more comfortable in my hand, and the screen size is more than adequate.

Also, yay on the updated ship date. Hope you enjoy your new phone!

I’m ready for a smaller phone lol. I’m tired of doing the hand shimey

Here you go. This is from a couple of years ago so maybe some things have changed-grain of salt.
If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.

That invoice has the serial number on it.

Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, log in, and find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.

You can look up the week of manufacture and factory here, using the serial number:

Links for tracking:

http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=altref&cntry_code=u

Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:

https://www.villagedrapes.com/html/tracking.html

If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last 2 numbers. Say your order number is: W123456789, you'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.


Flight info:

http://flightaware.com/live/iphone

When you see the time that your flight leaves China (make sure that the UPS or FedEx info is showing it per China time, or do the math), and you can usually narrow it down

It's an art form. Using the FlightAware website, track UPS places from China > Incheon; Incheon > Anchorage; Anchorage > Louisville; Louisville > your location. You have to follow the tracking info and match your "departure" timestamp with the flight on FlightAware.

Didn’t Apple switch to a random serial number system so that you can’t figure out the date of manufacture and other information?

This is why I bought the iPhone 14 Pro, but the battery life is so inadequate on it that, for my next phone, I went with the 17 PM.

Dang. First time in many years I saw a delivery date not on a launch date at 8:03am est. So, I've chosen to pick up at a nearby Apple store. Never ever picked up iPhone in the apple store on a launch date. Will see how that goes, but the plus for sure is that I won't need to ship the old phones to anywhere.
Glad for you all who got their dates back to 19th. Nice to have a fixed time, hopefully they won't screw that time window up though....

 

[Pipper99]

Picked up my 17PM cases at my Apple Store today! Woot!

FEDEX starting to create labels

This was first pre-order delivery date that wasn’t on launch date too!
I signed on at the exact launch time, had everything already to go, all I needed to do was push purchase.
I got a 9-25 delivery date too. Good news! I just checked the Apple app and my date has moved to the 19th!
I believe A lot of us will have the date changed to the 19th. So excited!!
Do not wait for notifications from Apple about change date.. My notifications are on and I did not receive a notification from Apple at all (at least not yet) I just checked the App every hour! Looks like a lot of us are getting updated delivery date.

 

[Learylvr.]

Same with me! About 45 mins ago, I got a change of delivery date to the 19th. I’m in TX..

 

[vi2867]

That sucks, mine said ships September 25th, so I changed to pick up at store on the 19th.

Every year I’ve had my iPhone shipped to my house and either went to the main hub (closed down a couple years ago) or waited for it to be delivered. Unfortunately it seemed like the last couple years they’ve waited till late in the day to deliver mine, I think it was intentional 🤣. I’ve had a blast tracking all the different flights it would go on (helped pass the time during the week), but this year I chose to pick up in store. Is there any way to track the shipment if I’m picking up at the local Apple store?

Orange, 1TB PM, VZW carrier upgrade through Apple Store, just updated from 9/25 to 9/19 🙌🏻

Does anyone know if we can pre sign for these? I’ll be at work then :-/

 

[Andrewwjay]

AT&T order for my deep blue pro max just moved to ready to ship!!!

 

[juant87]

HOLY MOLY.. I guess no flight tracking this year

 

[vi2867]

I was just able to cancel my order for iPhone Air to pick up at Apple Store. I replace order for iPhone Air Sky Blue 512GB to be shipped to my home. I guess they are not selling, because on launch day this same order was pushed out to 9/25.

 

[lavrishevo]

I decided to get the blue pro max 512, no carrier. I ordered it tonight. Local pickup on the 19th. Looks like they have plenty available.

 

[Bmonkey31]

Does anyone else still have a 10/2 delivery date?
I ordered iPhone 17 PM in cosmic orange.
I was hoping to get upgraded to 9/19 delivery 😆

[BoricuaHec01]

My PM has been shipped out from carrier (Verizon). Now the wait for 9/19 begins!

We are on the same boat. Mine is still showing 10/2. At least yours says processing.

 

[thearh]

What was your original ship date?

It was Sep 19 from the beginning, what about yours?

 

[vi2867]

Whew! I almost messed up. When I re-placed my order for iPhone Air. I created another iPhone trade in program. I did not indicate that I was trading my current phone. I would have been stuck with 2 iPhones. I cancelled again and did it right. Now I am trading my current iPhone and getting the iPhone Air Sky Blue 512GB. Should receive on 9/19.
