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

[iamthedudeman]

It matters because it is the overall experience. Being an Apple user, I’m not sure why you didn’t recognize that when I expounded upon the original point made.

Ordering through Apple is the better overall experience, in my experience.

In what way exactly? Apple has nothing to do with what you are describing. That has nothing to do with ordering and shipping. Apple isn't a carrier and cannot provide carrier services. Totally unrelated issues.
How is USPS delivering your phone, canceled orders, delayed orders better? Better than a ATT employee providing concierge from the store to your house personally handing the phone to you and providing setup if you need it.

This is strange, my iphone 14 Pro Black that is set for Delivery on the 23rd via "Postal Service", just switched to preparing to ship.

Weirdly for both of y’all it just says “Arrives” without any date after it? Like they just deleted those characters. 🧐

What if the Postal Delivery notification was for the trade-in kit?

 

[Brad7]

I keep checking the Apple Store app just to make sure I still have the launch day delivery date 😅

Same lol

 

[emperormacnut]

Thank you for this. I ordered mine just now.

These are the best. Someone turned me into them at last years pre order and I’ll never get anything else.

If you scroll down in the app, its says "Delivers Sep 23 by Postal Service"

Thank you so much! Just ordered this another one. You saved me $6.00 woo hoo!

I got you! Every penny counts!

Seems that every time I get a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable (Apple) on my order listings page(s) it's when people here start reporting changes to their orders. Wonder if it's an unintentional "we're updating information" type of thing...

Dang! That's a very good point. Is it? Mine doesn't say Postal, Maybe because I' dont have anything to return.

Track mine please

Never been so happy to owe money!

We had a haboob here over the summer. Climate craziness!

Gorgeous babies!

I would guess they will just have you update your payment info once the system catches up.

Thank you!

Not sure if anyone has explained the difference yet, but UPS stands for United Parcel Service, not Postal. Postal service refers to USPS which stands for United States Postal Service. And while FedEx does stand for Federal Express, it is in no way tied to the federal government. I'm sure the "postal service for the 23rd" is some sort of glitch because delivering such a large amount of packages within such a short amount of time would be the ********* **** show for USPS, and I can't imagine Apple thinks otherwise.

Mine is via Postal Service, and I'm not trading in my old phone.

Black or Product Red

 

[StaceyMJ86]

The physical sim? Not sure. Shouldn’t. Took it out once the esim was activated.

I just realized I have service on my primary and I haven’t taken the Sim out yet. I’m going to try that when I get back home and see what happens.

Thanks! well there goes that theory, hahah.

Mine says Standard Delivery and I have a trade in kit coming.

 

[Samantha124]

I can’t imagine the USPS being involved in such an event

 

[emperormacnut]

Yes, Spigen makes the best!
Hope they make one for my 14 Plus I just bought ??

BTW:
I just got my new 2022 Ford F150 EV truck (Lightning) and bought the Spigen protector and it has been awesome - no more fingerprints on the 15.5" screen!

😍 I got a 21 F-150 Diesel last year. Plan on converting it to vegetable oil when the crap hits the fan. That thing is beautiful!

Don’t think so in the past that was also sent UPS

 

[tripleh3lix]

Yeah uh.. I don't know if these 9/23 orders are actually coming the 16th. Very confusing. Bad idea to call Apple to switch to expedited or even UPS Ground? Or should I leave it?

I don't trust my USPS guy out here.

I agree...USPS is awful with deliveries and tracking.
