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

[BradLA]

I had no issues with in-store pick up last year, it was great. Hoping it's the same this year *knock on wood*

I'm in LA and went to a busy Apple store. Stood in a long line outside, Apple employees then called out the 15 minute appt time. Myself and others with that time then went in a shorter line to go into the store. I was in the store within a few minutes, someone helped me right away. He scanned the order in my Apple Wallet, left to grab my phone. Came back with it, and I was out the door.

I would say from standing in line to leaving with phone, was probably 30 minutes. Then I went and had dinner at the mall LOL.

For me, it's a convenient option to not have any issues with delivery or not having to wait around home all day.

And grape soda is one of the best sodas (or fizzy drinks as we call em over across the pond)!

Rock Creek soda have the best grape soda here in the US.

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.

I apologize in advance, but I thought your username was The Yaya Are Living. D: Thought you were some kind of Yaya Sisterhood fanatic or something.

Hello!! Sorry, just saw the notification 😅… I was able to do it, thankfully didn’t have any issues. Ready for some intensive tracking 😁

Woo hoo! Just made my day. Let’s goooo!

So glad you are upgrading. I saw your account and you didn’t log in since June or July. I was like where did he go? So happy you got launch day delivery. I hope you’ll be able to track your phone and snag a picture of the UPS plane as it passes by San Juan. Well wishes to you. Let’s go!!!

What about Grape Kool-Aid?

Don’t like grape kool-aid.

You haven't read my signature headline? The Bay Area Living?

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.

Yup it’s called SurePost.

Pfft. I don’t read things. That would require me doing some kind of … effort. 😂

have anyone had tottallee cases for iPhone 12/13? I had a frosted clear for iPhone XS Max and I really loved it. I wonder if it’s the same quality for previous iPhone models. Thinking of getting one for 14PM.

I have the frosted clear for the 12 Pro Max, and I don’t like it, because it’s too slippery.

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. 🤪

Seems like Apple uses UPS for delivery and FEDEX for returns

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.

Standing desk here 😁

Mine never ceases to inform me when I’m being a lazy slob.

It’s already started! Did you get your iPhone promised launch day delivery? 🚀

 

[macbookguy]

I’m now preparing to ship. Still says Sept 23 but hmmmm.. 🤔

 

[StaceyMJ86]

Yes they do. Yayyyy

Yes that’s great to know. Now I can order some new bands on the Apple store.

Funny thing - until recently, I had no idea people had signatures because they don't display on mobile. Imagine my surprise when I finally opened MR on desktop.

The anticipation and thrill is real this time around.

 

[Whistler Mac]

I was told you can only do this if you have an in-store pickup.

Agreed.

Also, if you move your iPhone to Landscape you will be able to see the signatures.

Are you joining the sisterhood?

 

[happy orchard]

Okay, I made it! All caught up on this thread. Don't anybody post anything else. I need a breather.

Dang it, as I was typing, the screen moved and said more posts have come.

 

[overfedexed]

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

Yes, I too work for USPS.... Maintenance. Our carriers were pissed when they saw that two of my three iPhones were shipping U S Postal Service. They said that it will never happen.

I myself would love it. I'd get mine early in the day, instead of chasing down the UPS driver at 9pm on Friday night.

Man wtf. When I did the Pre-Approval yesterday it was on the same American Express I have always used for iUP. Then I just checked my invoice from earlier this morning and it was on my Visa card. WTF. Now I'm going to have to return my phone and re-purchase at an Apple Store or some sh**.
