Yeah mine also charged now.Thanks! I just checked my updated payment method, and I see the tax charge (around $88) as pending. I think we are in the clear now!
Woke up normally at 6 AM EST, order at 8:02 AM EST and YES!!!? Got my iPhone 14 ProMax 256 GB deep purple next Friday ššš.. I did add all my info and carrier details in my cart the night before maybe that is why the order went smoothly and quickly.

Yeah mine still says order placed and has my local apple store at the mall as the pick up at 1:45 pm next Friday.
Since esim only, makes it difficult to swap your line between them. You could have a family plan with yourself.
I ordered mine at exactly 8:03 am, and I'm not getting it until 9/23. š„²
Whether or not your carrier and/or driver actually follows through at the time of delivery, on launch day deliveries Apple always "requires" signature for legal reasons. They can't with UPS SurePost. And even if they have made the choice to use SurePost, it should deliver with less than a 7-day delay if they are drop shipping with the usual UPS from china to the post office
All of these "Postal Service" orders say delivery on 9/23, even ones ordered at 8:02 am, with models that were still listed as delivering on 9/16 on the website until around noon. Those ought to available to ship the same as the thousands of others ordered all morning that arrive on 9/16. So unless Apple has agreed with UPS to use a very special extremely slow version of SurePost without signature to deliver randomly assigned orders, no matter when you ordered it, I can't believe this is meant to be SurePost.
I do have a family plan. I'm still carrying a dummy iPhone line when I used to rely on just upgrades every year. I used would each lines every year to upgrade. That's no longer the case anymore since I buy them out paid in cash.
I believe in-store pickup folks (like me) with reserved time windows won't see charges come through until next week as supplies get shipped to their store locations. I could be wrong though but it makes the most sense.
False. Iāve been working for FedEx for the past ten years, and weāve shipped new iPhones (as well as other Apple products) every year that Iāve been there. Every new Apple product Iāve ordered has been delivered to me by FedEx (in my area).
UPS ships Apple products as well. So like the rep told you, the phone will likely be coming from FedEx or UPS.
It is possible that USPS could make the last leg of the delivery depending where you live. We pass packages off to them quite often for certain areas.
It's actually easier with the eSim. Simply activate both on your phone and designate which one is the primary.
And you can actually have two lines active at the same time.
I use two and you can see the 5G bars for both lines.

Great points!
It also depends on the area. I have never gotten a brand-new iPhone from FedEx within the last 14 years. Only the refurbished or replacement models. UPS has always been the main go-to. FedEx is only used for returns or sending the damaged iPhone back.
I still strongly believe our iPhones will come from UPS like every year. Makes no sense, Apple would be delivering the phones via postal service by using the post office. Time will tell. My money is on UPS, all the way, LOL.
Last year mine was $64. This year itās $123, because my house burned down in a wildfire last December and the address Iām using is in the city of Boulder, co versus last year which was in Unincorporated Boulder County.
Confirmation at 8:45am (EST) here. 1 phone for in-store pickup on the 16th. Also no charges yet either.
Remember, your iPhone is probably in or will be at a local distribution warehouse, not in China.
My recent Mac Mini, iPhones, and AW originated from my local Fontana / Ontario, CA Apple warehouse about 10 miles away.
Took 1 day to get to my house. They used: FedEx Ground and UPS Ground for the 1 day shipment.
My Macbook Pro came from China and I tracked it thru ANC and SDF airports where it did arrive via UPS International (no signature).
Your iPhone is most likely here in the US if not by next week.
Youāre one smooth sweet talker! When I try things like that, Iām tense and surly.Finally reached Apple customer service - and they expedited shipping on my 14PM 1TB SPace Black - due to the server issues when Apple Store finally reopened.
Shipment 2
Ships: 7ā10 business days
Delivers: Sep 28 - Oct 3 by 2-3 Business Days
This is totally normal. Standard Delivery every year for me!
