I have 2 of my iPhones sitting in Louisville KY and one still in China. Worried that the one in China won’t make it here by Friday unless it just wasn’t scanned properly.

how about you? Anyone else with a phone still in China?

It will make it. Don't worry. Even if it leaves China Friday, it will still get to your place on time. I've seen it happen. Just know that China is a day ahead of us. My guess is your's will leave sometime today.

I don’t understand. I ordered all 3 at the same time from apple and they all came from different places in China.

I don’t know the logistical side of things but I find it strange.

I personally don’t think it will make it to my house on Friday.

the other 2 as I said are sitting in Louisville.

You'd have to realize that when they processed your order, they didn't process all yours at the same time. Plus not all 3 orders are going to be on the same pallet. Not all 6:05 pm made it to the flight bit it will eventually. you can't fit all those pallets on a cargo plane has they have max capacity they can load on a plan. Rest assured, you will get it on Friday. lol

Where do you even see this? Mine still says preparing to ship.
Right now apple.com status is Preparing to ship for everyone. Most who pre-ordered and have it set to be delivered to their home, likely have UPS My Choice account. So most of the folks will get get tracking that will show up on the UPS MyChoice. That's how we are able to pull tracking number and know where our phones are at.

Usually when your order does go to PTS, Apple creates a shipping label, which then gets registered to the carriers system, in this case UPS.

If you don't have UPS MyChoice, you can still find tracking via Tracking > Track by Reference on UPS.com. You enter your phone number that you used when you pre-ordered and your destination zip code. You can also search by your Apple Web Order number minus the last digit.
 
Canada iPhone13 Pro here. Mine is still preparing for shipment and has been for a few days. 🥵 The ETA I was given when ordering was Sept 24. Same for an iPad mini I ordered.

I ordered a silicone case too and it should get delivered today.

EDIT: Also nothing in UPS My Choice ... just the case showed up.

News flash. I can guarantee regardless where an iPhone is in the delivery process. We are all getting them on Friday if that was your promised delivery date.

Ah, no wonder. I do have UPS MyChoice but I'm delivering the iPhone to my job instead since I won't be home.

I see. I just saw that someone was able to get tracking on UPS my choice under business or something like that?

This happened to me last year as well. Still preparing for shipment, UPS my choice shows nothing and I did not receive a shipping update until Thursday afternoon the day before it will arrive. It did arrive on Friday. So nothing to worry about. That’s just how it works with some

Mine just updated to Anchorage, Alaska. Every year it's the same, China to Anchorage to Los Angeles.
 
First world problems… tell you what, I’m glad I’m not working at UPS this week with that many iPhones being shipped. Long day for those drivers!

So as of 12:12am this morning it got to Anchorage. I'm in the Seattle area. So excited for my first ever iPhone. 13 Pro Max.
 
I have no idea where my 13 is. All indications are that it hasn’t shipped — when I search by reference number (phone no.) the only package that shows is the case which was delivered last week. So, maybe it’s shipped, and maybe it hasn’t. It’s Schrodinger’s phone.
