Had this new message appear last night. Hopefully that means it’s shipping soon. (Still no charge though)

I am kinda confused. Knowing my 14 Pro Max is arriving today, I've taken a closer look at some of the unboxing and setup YouTube posts. It looks like I am seeing a SIM tray device in the box? But these phones have no SIM tray. What is that in the box? I've seen this on more than one unboxing. Then on other videos I don't see it. Here is one where I see it at about 1:25.
.

Here is one where I don't see it at about 1:50.

Are the posters where I see it pretending to unbox a 14 but are unboxing a 13 maybe?

Most likely YouTubers in countries outside of the good ole USA. Countries like Canada have sim trays in their 14s

You would realize it was 13 based on the notch. Hmm I have no answer to your question though

Yea!!! It arrived. I ordered yesterday and received today!! This only happened because I changed my order to the only configuration Verizon does not have back ordered: The 14 Pro Max 256GB Gold. I then requested overnight delivery. Ordered and received within 24 hours.

Nice, is it locked or unlocked straight out of the box?

Settings - General - About - Carrier Lock ?

Ok I had an issue with my home Wifi while setting up and had to leave things alone and go to band rehearsal. I am just now finishing set up. Yes it says the the SIM is locked. I've only transferred the data from my 12 Pro Mx to my 14 Pro Max and have not activated the 14 Pro Max with Verizon yet. I will see if I can do this at this late hour and see if that unlocks it. I might have to wait until tomorrow if I need Verizon's assistance because it's late at night. I'll let you know.

UPDATE: Activating with Verizon was a snap. Signed into Verizon account and a page was there with all the info for the new phone loaded and a big ACTIVATE button. I pressed it and presto, the new phone works.

However, the SIM is still locked. I've read that Verizon unlocks after 60 days and I believe that was my experience in the past.
