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

[ZacKaffeine]

Mine just switched too, and it was a 23rd date.

Was a 23rd date? Did it change to the 16th or is it still on the 23rd? I think if you scroll down, it'll say

 

[Brad7]

I'd hold out for a bit. When was your order in? I'm still rather hopeful they will come 9/16 and I'm not sure if having reps that don't know what the issue is mess around and change the selected delivery method will help or hurt. These things usually work out in the next couple days, and if they actually have selected a cadre of early pre-orderers for random punishment by 7 day delayed USPS delivery, calling later will probably be just about as useful.

Random punishment? 😳

TIM!!!!

I asked her if it was a glitch.. she seemed confident and sure of herself. However I don't think Apple has used USPS in years at least according to my past pre-orders.

I don't think they have ever used USPS for any type of service. It's so strange. I honestly think Apple themselves don't know. That's not the answer I was given.

 

[Kung]

How would it come from USPS??? AHHH!

They are where I'm from, sometimes. Sometimes FedEx/DHL/UPS passes stuff off to USPS for the last leg. Where I live, there are times the USPS *needs* the 4Runner their delivery people deliver the mail in.

Ordered mine at 0705 a.m. this morning, and it still says next Friday. Then again mine is 'just' a plain Jane 128Gb iPhone 14. LOL

 

[Laryl]

Well the green bar for my case moved to “shipped” but the phone is still processing.
PM 256gb Purple, order confirmed in email at 5:05. “Standard delivery” for the 16th.
Ordered via Apple using the Apple Card payments

 

[Shadowbech]

So seems like its just random

I've been using ESR for years now, I LOVE their screen protectors for the fact they dont have the notch cut out and that they have a decent oleophobic costing, too. ESR TGSP and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid is the first accessory purchase for any phone I get!

Ohhhh yeah... those random guys that show up with your accessories and stuff. Same-day delivery?

Not the best wording on my part. Still showing a 23rd date.

 

[Samdh90]

Just pre-ordered with ATT. Looking like 9/15 for a delivery date.

Hi. I had selected in store pickup for my order but I got an error when it was processing. I then received email with my order number so all good except it shows shipping to my house (and my credit card was charged)

Question…I am trading in my current phone, do I have to mail back or can I take directly to store for the trade in? I had a bad experience mailing phone back last time so I would like to avoid that.

Thanks.

 

[beach bum]

Yeah mine also charged now.

Same here. Charged for taxes on my credit card with an Order Processing status. Delivery 9/16.

My impression remains that the phone apple reps don't know anything more than we do, just looking at the same data on the computer and thinking that "Postal Service" must mean USPS. I mean I guess Apple could make the very strange decision to ship some iPhones via USPS or SurePost, but why in the world would it be used for early orders that otherwise are clearly in the 9/16 delivery order timeframe? And why would they ask USPS to deliver a week later that everyone else?

 

[Fred Zed]

Got charged already. Can’t wait for the black beast of Bognor to arrive. . 😝👍🏼

It’s 3.30pm and still crickets. 🤣

You can take your trade in into a store if you want.

I could've sworn I've seen someone get it early every year, somehow...you might be the one!

I wish! There's no such thing as same-day delivery where I live, unless it's flowers (or I go get it myself). LOL

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

The nasty dusty storm has cleared up a little. You can see the mountains now. Korean Airlines is heading out soon. Awaiting to depart. Showed up out of nowhere.

Probably someone’s uncles neighbors pet service dog that works for Apple huh?🤣

 

[ZacKaffeine]

Anyone else who is doing pick-up see that the status page says we will have to give them our trade-in when we get there? I thought even the pick-up orders were given a trade-in box to mail our phones in with.

 

[happy orchard]

I did NOT get good sleep last night. Anyone else? Thankful I was able to get 3 more hours of sleep after ordering.

Checked my Apple.com order to see if it was there, and all looks good!

Yeah I couldn't sleep for a while after, finally took a late-morning nap. Still not caught up. But we have an incredibly rare rainy day here in SoCal, so I'm just going to nap periodically. If I ever catch up on this thread!

My 12 Pro came directly from the apple depot in Carlisle PA on launch day. No tracking until night before. I've seen many similar reports over the years, but I think they are a small portion of the overall deliveries. Which might line up with the small, but very real reports of the mysterious and dreaded Postal Service 9/23 status.

Hmmm, interesting idea. At least this year we have a mystery. I can say that because I don't have the dreaded postal service notation on my order....apologies to those who do.

That's a very rare instance. Apple definitely prioritized you that day.
