I’m right there with you. Sticking with the faith that at some point it’ll get fixed.

And just when I posted this - the 9/19 update fairy came through…..

Keep the faith man. I too was stuck on 9-25 and recently just got bumped up to 9-19 just now. No notification or anything.

Edit: NVM good to hear 👍👍👍

Great seeing everyone again for The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, haha!!

iPhone Air 1TB in Sky Blue for me this year. First time since XS Max I won’t be getting a Max iPhone. Really looking forward to thin and light.

Good luck to everyone in getting theirs on 09/19!!

just got bumped to the 19th, 256 pro max orange ordered at 5:03

fingers crossed for anyone still waiting!

 

[WolfSnap]

I got my shipment moved from 9/25 to 9/19. Didn’t need to email Tim either.

I did, however, use a Labubu to channel the dark lords energy and reach out to Steve Jobs directly. Worked flawlessly! 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Norre8]

Hello All, can anyone suggest their go to case; preferably minimalistic?

 

[4sallypat]

I think I’m done checking for the night. We’ll see what happens tomorrow since most labels get created by then.

You and I sound like experienced Apple customers!

Hoping by Monday I get bumped up - if not, I'll email Timmy...

UPS does deliver for Apple on Saturdays. Last year on launch day we only received one of the threes iPhones we ordered. I contacted UPS, they said a truck had broke down and they were working on moving all the packages to another truck, they would deliver the rest on Saturday. We received the other two phones before noon on Saturday.

Unless last year when my 16 Pro got "lost" by UPS and never made a first day attempt on Friday.

I had to file a police report and finally it showed up at the local UPS distribution hub - retaped box of course...

You’ll have your phone on 9/19. Book it

I think I’ll go ahead and make myself a little snack bet, have popcorn and hot chocolate to celebrate if it shows on time. If not then I’ll go out for dinner to console 😂😂😂 I’m just kidding I don’t care that much if it’s a few days late. I’m just being funny

 

[texasturner]

My 1tb orange pro max just changed to preparing to ship

There’s a case thread but if you like minimalistic and not expensive I’ve used otofly cases from Amazon for the past three years

 

[MrP90]

Lololol and then it happened

 

[powerbook911]

Well, if this poll is any indication....

The Air won't become the most popular iPhone, but it will do vastly better than the mini or plus did!

I always get the Apple clear MagSafe case. Just picked it up today. I've tried cheaper ones on Amazon, I have quite a pile of them in my office, don't ask why I haven't thrown them away, but they yellow too fast. And I don't like hard plastic. This time I'm not sure how I'll like Cosmic Orange so may get the Terra Cotta silicone case from Apple.

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.

"Print All Invoices" will show up after the phone ships?

For me even just doing my iPhone, Watch Ultra 2 & iPad works out cheaper with AppleCare One than paying separately even if its only by <$5 a month, once my 3 year AppleCare on my Mac runs out I might add it on too depending on whether its cheaper to pay individually or add a 4th device to ACO.

Can you transfer current devices on AppleCare onto AppleCare One?

 

[Luba]

"Print All Invoices" will show up after the phone ships?

Yes . . . from another message

 

[gaedfly]

Can you transfer current devices on AppleCare onto AppleCare One?

Yes and then they cancel the AppleCare on that device. We did it with our Vision Pro and my Apple Watch.

This happened to me last year too! The package that was delivered wasn’t mine. The “attempted” delivery the next day but never came by. I sat at home all day. Then they claimed that they checked the truck and they couldn’t find it. Once I reported it, it showed up Monday with a retaped box.

I’m not really a clear case lover, no matter how much I like the color of my phone. I, too, ordered a terra cotta silicone case to go with my cosmic orange iPhone. I also ordered the crossbody strap in orange. (Something I will definitely use a lot!). I think the small contrast between the two colors will look nice. At least it looked nice on the website.

Ironically as of like 8pm eastern my date shifted finally to 9/19… still shows processing but definitely happy to see movement on dates

 

[GioGiusi]

Mine was just updated from the 25th to the 19th. Pretty sure all or most wil be.

 

[IFortWorth]

Hello All, can anyone suggest their go to case; preferably minimalistic?

I have gone with the Phone Rebel Flex case the past few years. It has exposed sides and a rigid back. I like the protection along with it feeling like the iPhone. They have not been released yet for the new iPhones, but they should be close.

 

[Blueline29]

Yay! My date finally changed to 9/19 for my 1 TB silver PM. I was starting think I was stuck getting it late.
