Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[russell_314]

I’m picking mine up at Apple store next Friday at 8:15 am. If I let them deliver it to my home, I always get it after 3pm. Besides I don’t like to be stuck at home all day waiting.

I did the same thing.

I just looked on the website and shipping dates now for the 13 PM have moved up to October 10th. As I suspected these things are selling quite well. I’m so glad I woke up to pre order.

What’s up everyone! So excited for 48MP camera! Good to see the familiar peeps up in here. Looking forward to spending the next week with everyone! Cheers!

Good to be back was not sure but the 48 MP camera (details) got me was not sure of just 48 MP and having images that take lots of space but looks to be much I can do with camera. The dynamic island is a good way to put my notifications out of way around the pill opening so I like that. I do not travel internationally so the going to fully esim is a security win for me. Not sure about the satellite SOS though not wanting to have to pay for the emergency feature as I am toning down lots of subscriptions these days.

Now to wait for the note from apple to do my preorder setup.

At least the satellite thing is free for 2 years. After that who knows?

Oops, I wasn’t good at answering.. ok I’ve been a bit out of touch, and brain fogged. I lost my brother and daughter both in June and have had a hard time since. Anyway, I’m set with my preorder, a PM purple 256g. Alarm is set and even though I’ve done this many times, I’m nervous that I’ll mess it up! LOL.
Happy to be back with you all.. I need the friendly exchanges we have here

I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to your family.

And grape soda is one of the best sodas (or fizzy drinks as we call em over across the pond)!

Soda,cold pop, soft drink, fizzy. They all good. Lol.

Oy vey, I told Tim return-to-office is gonna be a bad idea! 🤦‍♂️ 😂

I'm debating...do I need new Airpods? I have the current Airpods Pro. I like them but I don't use them as much as I should for the money. I really want the new charging case though. Mine doesn't charge with the Watch charger and I would like that.

Ditto, doing my very best to resist but the case is so tempting. I don't take mine out of the house, too easy to lose and I refuse to walk around with those things hanging down from my ears. I put my case in a leather case with a lanyard but I'm still paranoid about losing them so I use a cheaper pair that work fine for when I'm out of the house.

I gotta say checking out with the Apple Card is the way to go.

I totally agree. What’s crazy is I couldn’t get the website to work on my Mac so I used my iPad and didn’t realize till checkout that my Apple Card wasn’t on it. Thankfully it was quick to add 😅

 

[lazyrighteye]

have anyone had tottallee cases for iPhone 12/13? I had a frosted clear for iPhone XS Max and I really loved it. I wonder if it’s the same quality for previous iPhone models. Thinking of getting one for 14PM.

I have been using Totallee cases for the past 3-4 cycles. Already ordered my 14 Pro case: frosted black.

I once dropped my device on the driveway where it struck the bottom-left corner, and that thin little case did it's job: displacing the trauma around the device. While it cut the case, my device came away unscathed. As a bonus, Totalee's customer service is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Tops!

If you like thin cases, I can't recommend a company more. Have prob turned maybe 5-10 people onto Totallee.

Exactly! That is why I always choose in store pickup. Might as well go get it rather than sitting around all day waiting for the UPS truck!

What about Grape Kool-Aid?

Lmao, when I was a kid we were bougie ghetto we mixed every flavor with lemon as well. Kool aid with a twist. Lol

 

[Chacocliff]

I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here. I ordered almost immediately (14 Pro, 1TB, Purple) and yet I got the 23rd. That model is still showing delivery on the 16th even now, 3 hours later.
Initially it said "via postal service" but now it just says "Arrives Sep 23" so maybe it'll get pushed forward once they assign it to a carrier?

I had that and my card just got charged. I'm hoping it was something weird with the store this morning, and it will be pushed up to launch day.

 

[gaedfly]

Play with 5 kittens or order the new phone - I have to say that would be a tough decision for me. Tough call.

I managed it though, even with them rubbing and licking and swiping at my screen and climbing all over me and my phone. Ordered as soon as Apple store app was ready, launch day delivery.

 

[Truefan31]

Just ordered a 14 pro max on apple store online, doing the tmobile promo to get the 1000 trade in credit. Are the iPhones still unlocked since I bought it from Apple?

 

[dsmill]

I can't wait for the tracking madness to begin. I have launch day delivery and next week can't come soon enough!!! I just wish they released the Airpods Pro 2 next week and not the 23rd. Oh well!! I still have the original pro's until then.

 

[trife]

Ok a note to all those who like me found that even with all the preparation and checking for having current card info, and got the pre-pre order set and breezed through only to find somehow the order still found somewhere, in a galaxy far away the old card info which put your order on hold. Please keep trying to get a service rep. I finally after about hour got through and was on hold for up to 10 minutes at least but then got in after minute and the rep got the info updated on order directly for me, and said now order is processing and on track for September 16! I was wrong they can change the payment info for you. At least the person I got who did it quickly and now I have what you see below back on track to join you all here on this journey. I hope others in this old card data limbo can get a person online and correct it like I did Good luck

Yep, this just happened to me. I have no clue where the old card info came from because I triple checked that I had the right info when ordering. So weird.

Apple got it sorted after a 10 minute hold for a service rep though, so it’s all good. Still on track for the 16th!

 

[jamezr]

This will be everyone next Friday!
Waiting for the UPS truck to deliver their new iPhones LOL

 

[Brad7]

Just caught up with all the posts from 4:58AM - 5:05AMPST. Right before Apple Pre-orders opened. During that time, you guys are commenting here like it's nothing. Savage! My hands were too busy refreshing. Respect for ya'll for multitasking like a beast. How were you not scared not getting into the Apple Store? Mind-blowing!

Yeah as soon as you said you’re dipping out to focus on the preorder, I was like “that’s a great idea, I’m doing that, too”, and it worked out! 😎

 

[SisterBlue22]

I was freaking out...

You too? So weird, that didn't happen to me. This might have been my smoothest pre-order ever.

 

[HopeWV]

Has anyone been able to change their order from Postal Service (week shipping) to standard shipping (ups). Said I would have the phone on the 16th during checkout. Once checked out it said the 23rd by postal delivery Thanks in Advance!

 

[gaedfly]

Has to be a glitch. Mine still says delivery on 9/16. I bet it will change. If not, call Apple.

 

[Cyberguycpt]

Wow Space Black seems to be the most popular

I guess. I was so mad I could not get in store pick up. Lol. I picked different times and it would not go through. But now I think it also could have been a glitch.

And I can attest... I too have dropped my device, on the driveway, it hit the corner, and that thin little case did it's job - displacing the trauma around the device, cutting the case, but not a mark on my iPhone. As a bonus, their customer service is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Tops.

If you like thin cases, I can't recommend a company more. Have prob turned d~5 people onto Totallee.

I will have to check this out. I ordered a Moos case because it’s what I have on my 13 PM. It’s not cheap or super thin but I’ve dropped my 13 PM multiple times with no damage

 

[izzle22]

I love the Caudabe Lucid Clear case, but this year it have the MagSafe circle on the back and I don’t like that, so I’m undecided on that case.

I got this one here coming. Yes it has the ring but it's charcoal. On the space black or even purple it won't be that noticeable.

Weird. I've never had an iPhone delivered via postal service. I wonder whether that's a mistake. Their systems are so overloaded between people ordering the phone, cases, watches.
