That's pretty cool!

My orders are coming via FedEx, but that's pretty sweet.

Go Gators!
 
I guess the debate for me is that mine is slated to be delivered by 3pm (it’s currently 10.45am) and do I sit back and watch the truck drive around my neighborhood for the next 4hrs, or just get in the car and go and find the truck.

Mine doesn't seem to be updating. The 'In your area' updated but the truck icon looks like it hasn't left the CC! Thinking the UPS man left his phone at the office! LOL

Not sure which is correct, but it says it will be delivered by 3pm so I'm trying to wait patiently!

cool. last year it wasn't working for me but this is cool to see. wonder if it's accurate.
 
VERY cool feature! Having a love hate relationship with this map though. The truck has ben as close as 3 blocks from me around 9:30am, then went across town, back near me again...then left. What a tease...LOL!!

Its "In my area" - I still expect this around 2:30, 3 as usual. Always the time UPS hits my location.

Mine is across the street at the local VA hospital and has been there for around 30-40 minutes! Something tells me it will still be a little while before it makes it to me. UPS usually delivers between 1-2p at my house.
 
My guy has been at my local Apple store for over an hour now. It's like 5 minutes from my house!
 
Does anyone know why Apple does not use Fedex anymore? I am not a big fan of UPS. They seem to not care if you get your packages on time. If my delivery was with FedEx I would already have my phone in hand.

probably has to do with $$$ i'd imagine. i'm not fond of UPS either with my personal deliveries although apple always delivers on time. with personal packages FedEx was always cheaper and arrived a day earlier compared to UPS. also i've had fraud on my personal UPS account and UPS customer support doesn't seem to care.
 
You were able to track the truck last year too. I know I did when my iPhone X was coming.

Exactly - I remember seeing this last year.

The frustrating part is seeing the truck almost go by my house just to see it disappear for the next to hours. The packages are loaded in a specific order, though, and I don't think you can intercept the driver for your package. (It's probably also part of the security protocol.)

In a couple of days, the iPhone XS Max will just be my phone, sitting on the charger, no longer a toy....

And just cause you could do it last year doesn't mean that everybody had that option I know for a fact I didn't and missed my phone delivery
 
Does this only start working after it's on the truck out for delivery?
Also I'm in Toronto... don't see anything yet
