Holy crap you all have a lot to say! Haha!

14PM 256GB Deep Purple here ordered 7:04am CT Sept 16th.

iUP was super easy, however, also had the annoyance of inputting one billing address during pre-save and it using an outdated billing address (thankfully not shipping)- everything processed fine though. I also think that while Apple/UPS will get it to me on launch date, it would calm my soul more if they stated "Expedited Shipping" instead of "Standard Delivery". It would probably lower some call volume too with people who have not dealt with a preorder from Apple before haha.

Good luck everyone and enjoy this wonderful yet painful adventure to Friday!

I wasn't going to upgrade this year, but impulsively decided to this morning right before orders opened. Got into the store around 8:01 am via the app. Since I decided not to upgrade this year, didn't pre-fill information( iUP) so had to go through that process. Grabbed a 256 GB 14 Pro Max Deep Purple for September 16th delivery. Order went in at around 8:05 am, got confirmation email at 8:11 am.

I am surprised I went with Deep Purple. Upon reveal, I thought if I was to upgrade I would go Silver this year. But decided upon purple this morning. I am still incredibly bored with white/black phones. Though I never had a Silver/White iPhone, always black before going with Pacific Blue for my 12 Pro Max, then Sierra Blue for my 13 Pro Max.

Anyone every put a vacation hold for UPS with an iPhone order? I'll be out of town on 9/16. If so, how long do they hold and redeliver? Or should I just have it sent to UPS Store and pick it up when I get back?
Here you go. You have to be a UPS My Choice member. I believe it is 7 days.

I freaked out because I had to take my kids to school by 8:20am and it was 8:10am with nothing. At 8:11am it came up and my order was finalized in 30 seconds. I received my confirmation email at 8:12am. My S8 Ultra that I ordered through Verizon at 6:44am was much easier than ordering through Apple.
Ahhh! i think I saw the legs of your son waiting on the bed. Waiting for you to take him to school?
 
Do you have to be a my choice ups customer to be able to track the delivery truck???
No, you don't but it's easier if you are. I would suggest signing up. It is free. Very convinient!

I setup my preorder Wednesday afternoon. Went into the Apple Store app this morning and checked out via Apple Pay. Took all of 20 seconds to order.

Very nice! I started refreshing from like 7:45 cause it was my first pre-order, and it wouldn't let me in until 8:07. It was more nerve wracking than I expected, cause I'd heard that you gotta get in the first few minutes. Thankfully got launch date so all's well that ends well.

I did IUP upgrade, but didnā€™t get return information or asked about condition of phone. How does this process work.
