Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

Thinking about routing mine to a UPS CC this time around instead of waiting all around....how crowded are these places on launch day (especially if anyone knows how crowded the one in South Seattle is :D)?
Whenever I preorder the iphone and I get tracking, I always request a hold at UPS CC. I don't like having my expansive item being delivered to my home and being left out there. Plus I work so I'd rather pick it up then having the UPS guy deliver it to me.

Apple requires a signature so they wouldn’t just leave it at your door.

Depends on the driver. In my experience some drivers in my area jsut don't care and with COVID they just drop them without signature required.

I'm not sure if this has changed or not but it's really up to the driver and they did at one point had their policy to no longer accept signatures.
 
Ordered Friday, was a mess of errors and trying over. Was trying to do in-store pickup and kept getting the errors. Finally it told me my pre-pre-order was invalid. Turns out one of my orders went though and it did delivery instead 🤷🏻‍♂️

Never the less, movement. See a full tracking number:

After cancelling my original order with Apple (Oct 17th) and a second one with T-Mobile, I just scored an iPhone 14 Pro Max GOLD 256GB for launch day pickup :) Stock changes almost with the minute so you have to be patient and be fast as stock don't last more than 2 or 3 mins. It took me around 1 hour of refreshing until one like the one I got was available.

I don't work, so I sit on my ass all day and wait for it to come to mama! 🤣

(That's not actually true-sometimes I stand. By the window. Looking down the street-gotta close those rings!)

Or that someone decide to cancel the in-store pick up and you happen to spot right when that happened too

I remember doing the original 74-step jailbreak. If you messed up a step right near the end you have to start all over - and I did. I was so happy when the automated jailbreaks came along.

The original 74-step jailbreak

I don’t think I started jailbreaking until I got the 5S. Before then I never heard of it. Right now I’m using unc0ver.

You are one of the few getting gold, so we await your review of the color, cases, etc.

If I had to wait for the brown truck to come by, I'd have too wait till 5 pm and knowing myself, I cannot focus all day. haha

Congrats! Hopefully yours doesn’t change to null like a few others waiting for in store in this thread.
 
I'd jailbreak it in a heartbeat if I could. However, vulnerabilities are harder to find as iOS progresses. Jailbreaking doesn't scare me at all. A little care and common sense goes a long way.
You must love going to the strip clubs. Come to Las Vegas. We have plenty. 🫣
