I think we are just bored....

Next year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max(or Ultra) delivery page will surely go beyond 5000 pages. (speaking of which, I just realized that I only have one Apple USB-C to USB-C cable at home... better order another one now to prepare for next September)

Mine hit Louisville at 3:03am this morning and had no additional scans until it showed up as preparing for delivery in PA. I think things missed scans out of KY last night.
Mine all of a sudden shows out for delivery. Left China yesterday and is out for delivery here in nj for today.

Checked my tracking and it definitely missed some scan points some where. Or UPS is having some system issues. At one point my tracking number was invalid but seems to have cleared itself. I don’t love to look back at my tracking to see all the different places my phone went through

Mine just delivered! I’ve got parcel pending at my complex so it’s safely tucked away until I pick it up after work.

that reminds me... need to call my neighbor to bring the package inside... my UPS driver NEVER rings the bell to ask for signature...(even if the shipper specifically requests it) :(

Does this need a signature? I know they are expensive and such but mine doesn’t say on tracking and nobody is home

UPS driver showed up before I left the house..... he just left it on the doormat and left. Fortunately, I saw the truck leave so I opened the door and brought the iPhone 14 Pro Max inside. :)

There's no indication on the shipping label that a signature is required, however.

it's transferring from the old iPhone to the new iPhone at this very minute. :) (direct transfer from old to new, says 20 to 25 minutes to complete) :)

this morning, UPS left it at my front door and left.... the box didn't say signature required at all. although... when I looked at my doorbell video later, the UPS driver said "hey, Mr. ----------, here's your iPhone", put it on the doormat and left... I guess he must have delivered so many of these packages to be able to tell instantly that they were iPhones inside?

although... it may depend on how UPS driver perceives your neighborhood and he/she can use discretion... (or if there had been past incidents of package theft)

When that happened to me, I called the number on the tag and asked if I could pick it up. They said yes, confirmed truck was back from deliveries and I went after it. It was launch day and I wasn’t waiting till Monday to get it after tracking it for a whole week from China.

I can wait one more day. ( Or can I???? o_O ) lol. They left a tag and someone has to sign for it. They won't even accept signing the back of the tag. No biggie they will try again tomorrow. But after watching the how the phone went to get here it's still amazing how quick it got her after moving yesterday.. Enjoy your phone's fellas!!!!!

I can deal with one day, but waiting over the weekend is the worst. The worst delivery experience for me was I got a phone through VZW once, who use FedEx. I checked the Tracking and was excited I could waive the signature through there, or so I thought. Why even have the option if you don't horor it??? That's worse than not even having the option!!

Wow I didn't know iPhones were directly shipped from China by air. I thought they'd transport them by ship and distribute them by local shipping once they're in the country. But makes sense since transport by ship would take months to arrive

when I ordered my iPad, it was shipped the same way.(from the factory in China to my home, via UPS)

You are located in the US?
your nickname sounds very German. If you are located in Europe the iPhones always are transported to a hub and then send out for delivery by truck/train to your city.

Has anyone received/ordered an iPhone in the last week or so? I live in Boston, MA and ordered the Deep Purple 14 PM on October 27. It says the arrival date is between Nov 22- 30. Is it still shipping directly from China? Some people are mentioning that they received their phones from Ontario, CA? I didn't even know there was a warehouse there?

Technically most are coming from China. Once supply catches up with demands, usually the rest will be stored in their warehouses, there are 4 warehouses that I know of that stores the apple product: Mt. Juliet, TN, There is one in PA, Thre is one that his also in CA, there's a new one in IN.

Do you know if they ordered directly from apple.com or through their carrier? Usually if it's through carrier, it will actually come from the warehouses.

for those still waiting in the Chicago area... the Apple Store at Old Orchard showed silver 1TB 14 PM in stock for pickup as of 7:03AM. If that's what you have on order, grab it and cancel the online order? :)

Not anymore but the screenshot is pretty accurate as to what stores has what. Not sure if you meant Michichan Ave because the Old Orchard don't have any but the Michigan Ave does. I prefer space black over silver. ha.
