I did feel rather special. Of course not having tracking until thursday afternoon was giving me the shivers, but it was delivered on launch day as promised. Of course given that we are quite rural, the UPS guy still didn't get the actual phone to me until like 9 pm. My understanding is that in recent years there has been a cache of launch day iPhones brought over before launch, but it isn't that many.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah perhaps. Could've sworn I've seen one happen earlier than that but maybe it was the time difference. Can't wait til we all have our phones in a week! (those of us who have the 16th dates...without any hiccups, lol)
I had a similar situation and thought someone's life just got a little better. It's a nice thought. Felt like I should think that about someone else, too. Maybe someone out there changed their mind or something and I....oh wait, I'm getting launch day phone. Hold on, let me rethink this.
I wasn’t going to upgrade but when T-Mobile decided to give such a huge bonus to trade in my perfectly fine and equivalent 13 Pro, I jumped in and upgraded to more storage while I was at it.
Usually Tuesday, iirc
6:00AM PST. Tuesday or Wednesday. All the reviewers will be getting the demo iPhones today. It was overnight shipped to them by Apple so they can play around with it over the weekend and write a review/make videos about it.
That’s great news! So glad you’re going to get your device on launch day.
Haha I did the same exact thing even though I barely use my 128gb storage as it is. But i am thinking of keeping the 14 for a few years so I'll need it.
Agreed. In store pickup is the way to go for me as well. Safer, easier, less stressful, and it’s always fun to set foot in Apple’s stores!
I wish we could put an AirTag on our phones! 🤣
This might be how she keeps up with the forums. She's doublefisting iPhones.
They always do. I think Texas was a holding point in the past, and then Nashville. Something like that.
The past few cycles, all iPhone shipments have been managed by UPS. But I'm almost certain Apple tapped FedEx for iPhone shipments in the past. Maybe even that '07 version that started all of this madness. I also want say there was a time when Apple leveraged both UPS and FedEx for iPhone shipments to "meet demand" as I recall some pretty intense debate about which carrier was better. This weird, pro-UPS v Pro-FedEx alliances formed and each side claimed their iPhones were better because of the carrier assignment - which was entertaining.
That said, I could be confabulating the details above. What I'm most certain about is that FedEx has shipped me at least one iPhone in the past. I could be wrong. 🤪

I can tell you working for USPS, we don’t deliver Apple products, so that have to be some sort of glitch or mistake.

My 256 Purple Pro Max moved to PFS, 1TB is still processing.
That would have been so cool. Or if there is a way to activate it when your iPhone ships out. I always thought about that.
Hello!! Sorry, just saw the notification 😅… I was able to do it, thankfully didn’t have any issues. Ready for some intensive tracking 😁
Luckily for me, I have to work starting tomorrow until the 16th, and my job is physical, so by the time I get off, it’ll be time to get ready for the next day.
That’s great news!
Omgosh my Apple Watch just told me it was time to stand. Oh the irony. Guess I can just as easily stand and read these posts.
I was finally able to preorder the T-Mobile 256GB Deep Purple iPhone 14 Pro Max on Best Buy's website after T-Mo was broken for ~7 hours. Since nobody on T-Mo preordered on Best Buy's website, I will be able to pick it up next Friday. Best Buy gave me $800 trade in for my Alpine Green 256GB iPhone 14 Pro Max. Not bad.
