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

Those were SOOOOO thin. Almost not really a case. Barely dropped my phone 1x and the case split on the corner. YMMV.

Yeah I had a soft clear one for my 11. It’s nice and thin and not too slippery. But I only use it in the house because I don’t trust this case to do anything but protect from scratches. Also, it’s yellowed a bit, in less than a year?

I think it's better to order through your carrier. Less people ordering, less problems. Year after year Apples website has issues, and year after year people still order there. Yes alot of people have a smooth process, but why take the chance you are one of the ones who do not?
I was on ATTs site at 7:55, and done by 8:01. Every year for the last five years. Got my phone on launch day every time.

An no guarantee you will get because they dont know if they will receive their order from Apple.

Well look what came earlier after I resolved iPhone payment issue.

 

[Matthewzilla]

It wouldn't but you could get your tracking # before anyone else.

Better than nothing! Lol

Since they switched to 5 am release dates I've never managed to get Launch day at Apple. I think I will do ATT for my next Pre-order

that wasnt the issue. the return kit never made it to my home and i had a day left to return it. new apple specialist refunded the balance to my credit card instead of applying it to the new IUP loan. manager shrugged the error off as my fault. it took everything in me come out of retirement as a regional boxing champ 😂😅.

Oh that sucks! Sorry you had to deal with all that!

My order was stuck at “Order received” and i refreshed the page and now it’s “processing“. Maybe a good sign it’ll show up earlier than the date I got? Who knows. View attachment 2055223

It does seem like we are hitting processing really quickly this year.

This seems most likely to me. In SoCal here -- 'standard delivery' for me.

Standard delivery in ColoRADo

I wouldn't stick with Apple. AT&T can be very unreliable.

my email confirmation says 7:08am CDT with 9/16 standard delivery. I had my pre-order ready last night but was not able to order until 7:07am either through app or website. Tried website or app but with no luck. So reboot my iphone and was able to order @7:07. Not sure if the reboot helped at least my order went thru.
Now the fun begins tracking it

If anyone is waiting to get in touch with the agent. Please ask, how is the iPhone being delivered this year. Which carrier? Apple department should have this info. Please get this verified.

So the tax hit my card just now and my order moved to “order in progress“. So I think everything is fine and I’m not going to call in. I’m not sure the billing address really matters at the end of the day. The only thing I did was go in the app and update my billing information.

I was just coming to update you. I got through to apple, and the rep said she wasn't able to make a change, but did see that the transaction was approved. She even went to the team that handles the iUP and they said that because my billing information was correct with citizens one and it had already been approved, I would be all set. When you say you went into the app to change your billing information, do you mean your default billing information for apple? You weren't able to update anything on the order, right?

So it's possible they ship UPS, but UPS uses the Postal Service as a handoff service where the Postal Service will deliver once in your hub area. Happens all the time.

Possible, but has never happened before for iPhone launches. It's weird!

@StaceyMJ86 @beach bum Did ya'll get your orders in???

Order completed at 8:01am with delivery on launch. 😁

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

No way dude, It's a flagship color. I didn't get to sleep last night because of it. Eat a Donut today for me. Purple is for meeee.

Congratulations! Sheeeesh. You got in super early. Mine didn't go through until 8:03am (your time). Woo hoo!

 

[SisterBlue22]

What about Barney?

He's magenta.

It's so funny because I watched it disappear. I had the Apple Store app open on my iPad and all the tabs for orders and saved items disappeared and then it auto reloaded to "You have no recent orders".


The strike appears to be next year - contract expires in July '23. https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphi...strike-us-history-could-happen-next-year-ups/

That is so weird, I just checked and mine are still there! Are yours back?

I think closing and rebooting is a very good thing to do just before orders go live

Depends on your country and location. Mine always seem to be Fedex but I prefer UPS.

 

[Wolfs]

I am living for this conversation right now 🤣

I think we all prefer UPS first.

Still in the chat queue!

 

[GizmoDVD]

Did anyone who got the Apple e-mail for TMobile with their code get the e-mail the finish their order?

 

[dweb619_2]

My order has changed from “order placed” to “order in progress

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Still in the chat queue!

Thank you. They wouldn't even let me know. Keep us posted, please!

 

[Foobus]

Wow - I'm surprised you still can get a 256GB or 1TB Pro (not Max) in Deep Purple delivered on the 16th...but I guess the Max is more popular overall, anyway.

Unless you ordered in the first 5 minutes and got the dread 9/23 Postal Service delivery notice......
