Mine says the same thing the 9:50pm

I just wonder when the phones get done I apple creates the label, then when UPS picks it up the when it gets the origin scan, then it departs and probably heads to a UPS place and now its waiting to go to the Airport
It's a bit of a drive to the airport. Once it lands to another facility. They transport it to Zhengzhou International Airport.
Expect no more activity for a whole day possibly.

The new iPhone should already have iOS 16 from factory. You just need to backup your current device to iCloud. During the transfer, it will ask you if you want to convert or transfer eSIM. If not, go to your carrier website and do a change/update sim where it should give you an option to enter physical SIM card number or eSIM. If you selected the option to connect your carrier for the preorder, there should also be an eSIM on the new device. There are these options restore your data to new device.

1. Restore from iCloud on new device (data and redownload all apps automatically)
2. Device transfer using the camera dongle cable
3. Start as new, sign into iCloud to resync all your data, redownload apps manually as needed

I go with option 3 since I wouldn’t want all 300+ apps to be redownload automatically so I’ll just download as needed. After set up and cellular is working as it should, make sure to migrate Authenticator apps to new device since it won’t automatically when you sign into those apps.
I don’t think that the new phone will have iOS 16. That hasn’t been true in the past.
 
Members of 2nd Wave. If your iPhone is coming from the below address.

This is where your iPhone is coming from. This is Foxconn's newer assembly plant. It's coming from a city name called Nanning.

How do I know this? Notice the Zhenxing Road... This assembly plant is located in the East Side of the road as well. This is where our iPhone originated. Freshly of the assembly plant.

That’s my plant then left at 9:40

New iPhones are always manufactured on and shipped with the latest major iOS releases... Sometimes they have updates available as soon as you set them up as they're on unreleased versions of said update, like last year with iPhone 13 models. They shipped with iOS 15.0 (19A341) which never went public (nor was it an RC release) and had iOS 15.0 (19A346) available as a software update as soon as you set it up.
 
Nice, I was able to request my package be held at a local CC. Couldn’t do that the last two years. I paid the $6 charge without much fuss.
Not sure if it was the case last year or if this has been brought up already, but doing a hold at local UPS CC now requires either a one-time payment - or a one year subscription to MyChoice Premium for $19.99/yr. Free gets you a pick up at UPS Store or UPS Access Point (both of which usually add an additional day to delivery date).

We opt for the yearly subscription simply because UPS doesnt deliver to our house until 6:00-8:00 PM and the CC is right down the road.

Good morning, everyone and good whatever in the heck your timezone might be :)

Fun to wake up and see a billion new (exaggeration) pages added to this thread so I apologize for asking a question which might have been asked already.

Order was not placed till 5:20 AM due to site issues and then my requested store pick up continually going away.

I ended up in a Sept 28 - Oct 3 delivery window.

Besides the 16th, does anyone have or has anyone seen a delivery window for the iPhone between Sept 16 and Sept 28th? Edit! HA! Post above me is in a 9/23 group and moved up. Yay!!

Just curious. Edit: I am now educated :)

BMW PGA Championship is on TV so even though I am nowhere near shipping I will plead guilty to clicking a few times, maybe more while I watch Sunday golf :)

And then I apologize for being this person, but, a reminder that myself and over 70 more people around me had our iPhones stolen at UPS last year in the course of one week. Of course that percentage is quite small compared to those that got their phones but make sure if this happens to you or someone you know and you have AppleCare or any loans, etc. that those items are moved to your replacement iPhone. It has been an absolute pain trying to clean all of this up. I just want you to hopefully never run into this but if you do remember there was someone mentioning it in this thread. Also, you can also keep this in mind if you need to have your device simply replaced somewhere down the line. Make sure your AppleCare, Loans, etc. get moved to the new device. My current iPhone that is in the Apple Loan Program is still listed as not enrolled.
 
Did I read correctly that the UPS CC lets you pick your phone on the morning of launch day? This is my first time doing this option so that is exciting if the case. I do work Friday morning and not planning on getting it until after work, but tempted to go before work now if it’s available.
