Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

It would be interesting if the iPhones were made in the US
I wish they did but I don't think Apple will ever allow that. Too much $ just on labor. But come next year India has a good spot. This might be the last year we are tracking our iPhones from China.
 
It’s really happening.

I have UPS My Choice Premium. I changed my pickup to hold at the CC in Orlando. I anticipate that I will get an exception on the delivery until it hits the states and the change is confirmed.

Hey people, somebody preordered before with Best Buy (BB)? I preordered the AirPods Pro 2 with BB because my credit card have 5% rewards paying with PayPal, I chose “pick up in store” and it will be available “on release day” so, how it works?
 
No, First wave. People from yesterday with the assigned tracking number. 2nd wave needs to go through custom clearance still. I hope we can catch up to them otherwise we will get on board on a different flight.
Nice, so if I found my tracking this AM is that the first wave? Or second? Eh it doesn’t matter lol it’ll get here the 16th 😃
 
People with assigned tracking shipments already. Members of the first shipment wave batches.

This is what you guys are going through below: You will not be able to see those due to Apple restricting UPS not to release the full transcripts until Thursday. (Until Import Scan hits). The final stamp is going to be the "Your package has been released by the government agency). Again, you will not see that. You will simply see the "Departure scan". Also, Notice the date and time difference. There is a bit of a wait from 1-3 days. The whole process takes time.

This is what you are expected to see. "Departed From Facility" Expect that to hit tomorrow. (USA) time. My guess is evening time (PST).

Interesting. It is 8:30 am Sunday here now (nice 8 hour sleep) and no moved to depart then. I wondered why this piece often shows up later did not know apple restricted this. Although I seem to recall some years I saw this before Thursday I believe??? Other times showed later?

That's what usually happens. People usually panic at that point. 😁

Folks UPS 83 is en route to China at the moment. Maybe this is the charter plane that take out the 1st wave of shipment for the newly iPhones. Those who received tracking # yesterday. This could be your flight.

Keep a very close eye on it.

Looks like the plane has landed. Hopefully this is the flight where they will be uploading our iPhones.

This plane is also set to depart from Republic of Korea to Anchorage today! Member of first wave, please report if you see any activity such as "Departure Scan". If you do, you will depart on this plane.

Me too. At least you got your tracking assigned. It's so funny all the older timers here (the ones who's been doing this for years and we upgrade every year) never gets lucky with a 1st batch of shipment. It's always the 2nd and at sometimes the 3rd wave. It's dumb, LOL.

I was hoping by ordering 2 iPhones. I'd get lucky this time. Nope. It did not matter.
Thats strange wish we could see/follow what really goes on from factory and travels to the various points before airport. We get a phone, origin scan, label then eventually it moves to where group one has sat for 24 hours now in scans. So they get label on boxes when do the batch of phones go to pallets so that scanning is now by pallet (which data shows the phones in that so UPS scans have info about ones specific phone). Inquiring minds want to know I am always fascinated to learn about UPS and Apple logistics with the preorder
