Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

My hunch tells me that baseline models like 128gb are already in the States-side and may be dispatched via Fedex. That’s what happened to me when I got the baseline MBP 14” on the launch day. And for now, my baseline iPhone 14 Pro 128gb still shows processing even tho the delivery date is firmly Sept 16
 
Anyone here have September 28 - October 3? Preordered minutes after it let me in. hoping it still shows up this week!!
I do; same type of timing, I had it all ordered within two or so minutes of the store going back up.

I’m going to be out of town on the 16th so I’m having it shipped to where I’m staying. I even called Apple yesterday and they helped me change the order to express delivery, but the dates haven’t changed yet. Still processing.

No pending charges have shown up on my Apple Card yet. I used Apple Pay for both the AirPods Pro and iPhone and still no pending charges…

I bought an unconnected iPhone. iPhone 14 Pro Max, 512 GB Space Gray.
 
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 remember the exact same thing! But I was also concerned I was misremembering. So thanks...feeling better about my aging memory now🤣

I ordered a pro max black the minute it opened. Mine showing Sep 27 - 30. I then ordered 3 (purple, silver, black) non max pros for other family members and those all arrive on launch day.

I can only see a pending charge if I search for “Apple” on my Apple card so let’s see what happens! Mines a 14 pro max 1TB Black AT&T model.
 
I confirmed with my mother’s cellular service that her plan is currently not eligible to use an eSim. So if I end up not liking it for myself I can’t just give it to her. Also if I switch to eSim, then I can’t go back to using a regular Sim, and therefore cannot use my older iPhone as a backup phone anymore.
For yourself, just trade in your old phone, get some credit and join esim.
 
I'm so upset. I was stuck in a work meeting and preorder my late so I'm stuck in the oct 10th - 17th date. 😥😥😥
I’m in the same boat. Had issues with T-Mobile’s verification on the Apple Store App at 5am while trying to get ready for work. Was able to order a couple of hours later but that put me in the October timeframe. Hopefully it comes sooner than the estimated date like my 12 Pro did a couple of years ago.
 
But at least, now you have a clear idea of who and which company manufactured your iPhone.

As you mentioned earlier, it is a new location in China Mainland. I’m hoping next year Apple ships iPhones out straight from India. That would be very nice.
Yes I do appreciate you finding out always interesting I see they are doing some 14’s already in India
 
Hello everyone! Got my Space Black 14 Pro Max due to arrive on the 16th. Too bad reference tracking doesn’t let me see much in terms of info at least I know it shipped!. I still haven’t got my loan approved email from citizens with IUP even though I called them and they said I was already pre approved and my order went through fine pre-order day.

i placed my order at 5:02am and got a 9/23 date with delivery by Postal Service.

I just checked UPS My Choice this morning and I’m seeing an origin scan from China and a 9/16 delivery date!
