I didn’t swap mine. I turned the phone on and it connected with my old one and downloaded the backup easy. My new one has all my stuff exactly the same. And I got text messages right away.
Got a tip for us?

Ok the guy came at 2:45.
But if they didn't deliver by 4pm, they were going to feel my wrath.thats was a long day of waiting, its here now to restore from a backup and try to get my security folks at work so they can setup my new 2FA numbers
Honestly, why comment? I'm excited for my new toy. Let me be.
Mine got here just before 2!! Had to jump on a quick conference call, but now I’m free to play with Max for the rest of the day!
Hope everyone gets their’s soon!

It's not even the fact that it's just a phone, it's the fact that FedEx was paid to deliver these packages and their lazy drivers can't be bothered to do their job.
Good luck! Where are you located? Feels like I've been waiting forever!
Fed Ex driver just stopped by my house - She had my AW4 SS watch and my sons 31st birthday present - Gold XS Max 256gb
Verizon delivers again - 6th year in a row

Good to know! I just moved here. Last year I got mine at 11:00 but obviously that time has passed.
I'm with you. Mine's been on the truck since 8:25 this morning and was supposed to arrive by 3:00 pm....still not here.
I received my SIM free XS this morning and just inserted the Verizon SIM from my iPhone 7 before I switched on the XS. Worked like a charm, no activation necessary.
I used the SIM from my iPhone 7 to start up my SIM free XS. As I restored from back-up of my 7 I was asked on the screen if I want to pair my watch with the new phone and it automatically did so. From a Verizon perspective the watch is linked to the number of my phone. As I used my old SIM no further steps were needed.
She’s here!!!!!! I picked it up at home while I had a break at work, brought it back to the office with me. It will sit on my desk and torture me for the next 2 hours lol.
FedEx claims my phone was delivered at 9:22 am to a front desk/receiptionist signed in my name but it was suppose to be delivered to my house and it’s no where to be found...
Look's like my father's phone was delivered. Still waiting on mine. Jealous! Looks like an excellent phone
Same problem here.Mine's not activating. It asked me to call some number, I don't have time for that, I'm working today. This needs to just activate, why are there always issues with this, drives me crazy. To quote the great Dark Helmet, "F*!! Even in the FUTURE nothing works!!"
Glad to hear I am not alone lol, sorry you are having the same issue I am!
My delivery has been at the local sort facility (SF) since 5am.
Still not on a truck and it’s almost 1pm.
Hmmm.

Missed the Fedex delivery by 3 minutes... I called them and they are going to attempt to redeliver on the same day. Anyone had any experience with this?
Contemplating returning this phone to Apple and walking across the street to T-Mobile. What a complete pile of trash.
I've been on tech support for over an hour now, with no possible fix in sight. I already have a call into an apple support engineer as well, they will be getting back to me within a couple of hours they said.
The thing that baffles me is that Verizon can see my new phone on their network on their end, just won't let the verification zip/pin work correctly.
