Apple Status - Preparing to Ship

No return when using my phone number as my Reference # with UPS My Choice.

No new emails of my delivery being delayed or pushed back.

I usually do ATT pre orders but their site was weird this go around.... I like Fedex my choice better.
Do you happen to have "Postal Service" in the Store app order details?
 
I checked the HTML source and it's the same, just XXX's. It makes sense now that I think about it, it's a security feature, cause otherwise anyone could put your phone number in and get the details/make changes.
This is 100% accurate. It’s a security feature. Probably Apple asked UPS to enforce that.
 
Tim Apple, I'm trying to be distracted by football. Please stop reminding me I don't have a tracking number yet. I don't need to see the Dynamic Island Deep Purple iPhone ad during every game!
But with the new iPhone 14 PM, you can watch the score embedded in dynamic island, probably.
 
Sorry for the random question, but has the process for moving an Apple Watch from the old phone to the new phone changed in any way in recent years or on newer watches?
This will be the first time I’m migrating my series 7 to a new iPhone. Apple’s support page is somewhat vague about the process.


In the past/with my Series 0, you had to unsync /factory reset your watch completely, and THEN backup your old phone, otherwise the phone backup you sync to the new phone would not have a backup of the watch included and you would have to set it up as new, or from a backup that could be several months or even years old.

It’s a shame there is no clear way to manually and/or regularly backup the Apple Watch without unsyncing and doing a factory reset.

‘Make sure you update to the new iOS 16 on Monday, all should go smooth.
 
Bruhhhhh! This is prepare to ship. Not shipped lol don’t give us a heart attack out here like that. Was going to say, your going to get your iPhone on Monday haha!
I know. I'm trying to will it to move to shipped. It's stuck on preparing to ship. I'm preparing to lose my mind.

It will move to ship on Thursday. Apple is not about to notify you that you have a package coming from China right now. 😂 what if you book a flight to China and hunt your iPhone warehouse down. Who’s going to be responsible for that?
 
Thaaaat won’t likely happen until it reaches the us.

UPS scanning overseas sometimes is delayed or out of order. Apple doesn’t went to field the inevitable calls from people re: crazy tracking status.

‘Every iPhone and Apple Watch I have purchased has always showed shipping from inside of China. Never seen one that waited till it hit the US. I will admit that tracking sucks in China but it should show at least a couple of stops in china before it hits the US mainland.

I seem to remember that I had to install the iOS update on my old phone before I could transfer it to the new phone correct? But I also seem to recall that when I got my new phone it did not have the latest operating system on it and I had to update it as well. Is that right?

They just haven't created our shipping labels yet-when they do the tracking numbers will show up.
I can just picture you staring at the screen willing it to change like a Jedi. 🤣
I know I am-a Jedi or a catatonic person

Most and the majority of the pre-order items come strictly from China. It comes straight from the factory assembly line. If it’s a big item. It’s coming from China. If it’s a small item such as accessories those come from the states in the US.
