Just saw 4 fighter jets passed by my house. It was so loud. Waking up the whole neighborhood. Wonder if they were going to Area 51?
Got a tip for us?

Already ordered: 14pro 256gb Space Black (sure will miss my Blue iPhone) Just hope UPS doesn’t give me heart palpitations like last year. I tracked the phone from China to Alaska to Lexington UPS where it seemed to disappear. It finally showed back up and I tracked the UPS truck to my front door where he delivered a package to the neighbor across the street, he got back into his truck looked at me and said “WHAT?”. He then told me it “might be on another truck” the UPS app said it was on his truck! About 8pm that night a wondering lost looking UPS truck delivered…..✉️ Once again, you are cordially invited 📨Greetings all,
Apple just announced the new iPhone 14 line up and the Apple Event Fall Out is over.
Welcome again! I hope all of you beautiful people are doing well. It’s almost that time of the year again. It’s time to place your orders for the new iPhone 14 this coming Friday. Hopefully you are ready for the madness to begin. I hope all of you have your passports ready and your mindset well prepared to start traveling internationally. The traveling restrictions have eased up so hopefully, our tracking journey will be smoother this time. Fingers are crossed and hopefully, there won't be any hick-ups with the international traveling.

Once our orders move to process we should start seeing some movement to 'Preparing For Shipment' over the weekend. This usually happens Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon (PST time).
The iPhone 14 Movement...
Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!
Here are some notes to help track orders:
If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.
That invoice has the serial number on it.
Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, login, find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.
Link to track your iPhone via UPS:

Tracking | UPS - United States
Track one or multiple packages with UPS Tracking, use your tracking number to track the status of your package.
www.ups.com
Detailed Tracking
Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:
Track your UPS shipments here using your reference number
If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. For example: Say your order number is: W123456789, you'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature
When you see the time that your flight leaves China (make sure that the UPS or FedEx info is showing it per China time, or do the math), you can usually narrow it down
For those of you that are not familiar with doing this here's how you can check your order.
Go to UPS's website. Go to tracking. Go to track by reference number. Put the cell phone number associated with your order as the reference number. Put your ZIP Code. Put your country. Hit the track package button. If your phone has shipped it'll come up on UPS's website.
Our Main Goal is to hit the "Import Scan" from Louisville Kentucky. This is our last stopping point before we will say our final goodbyes until we all meet again next September 2023.
The story behind the famous "Import Scan" UPS: Long story short, This is a final approval scan that dictates your iPhone will arrive the next day, guaranteed!
According to UPS, The shipment has cleared import procedures in the receiving country.
Be Aware: Common Scans Include The Following:

Example: What our Tracking May Look Like?
This tracking below only applies to Las Vegas, Nevada. However, we will all be traveling together from (Zhengzhou, China to Lousiville, Kentucky, USA) until we see the "Import Scan" in Louisville, Kentucky. Keep in mind some of us may be left behind in China. It happens every year. (It happened to be last year and the year before). Hopefully, this won't be the case this year. After all, goes well, we will be separated to our final destination, and from there expect a final "Departure Scan" to hit your destination airport.

This thread will update periodically. Stay tuned!
Shipping info is live in UPS MyChoice! 9:50 pm 'On the Way' gang.
All 3 has departed ZZ! Have a safe journey!!
Create an account with UPS MyChoice. That's where you will find it.
Either that or Nellis Air Force base. That’s where they were heading due to the direction?
Create a UPS MyChoice account. Or, go to Tracking and then Track by Reference on UPS site, and enter your phone number, or your Apple order number minus the last two digits in the Reference number field. That doesn't work for everyone but does work for many.
Apple won't consider your phone "shipped", nor will Apple provide tracking, until it clears customs in Louisville WorldPort.
Damn. I still remember exactly what I was doing that day….
Walking back from having a smoke, it was quite but loud as the word was getting out what had happened, my coworker walked past me and said a plane just hit the WTC, I walked back into my office in time to see the 2nd hit. Talk about uncertain times…finally 3 days later I had the opportunity to check in on my wife who was pregnant with our son at the time. I will never forget…

Maybe 9/11 tribute flights? We had a fly over for the Texas/Alabama game in Austin yesterday.
Pretty much all caught up on the thread now. I’m part of the 9:50 group. I’m sure a lot of us are traveling together.
I have on the way too but only with the last 4 numbers of tracking # and it doesn't show in my UPS app yet. Would love to have the whole tracking #.
I had a 9/23 delivery with postal. Woke up this morning and saw tracking information in the UPS app.
Verizon just shipped my 256gb Deep Purple Pro Max. LET'S GO!
I don't see any UPS flights that are in ZhengZhou, China right now. Hopefully the scheduled flights show up. I expect Wave 1 to at least leave China behind later this evening. Forecasted speculation, respectively.
Activity for Wave 1: Departed from Facility is "Unknown" at the moment
Activity for Wave 2: In progress.

Coming right up x4 for the delay.Dirty Martini please
It's en route to the Airport. Don't expect any type of activity for a while now. Possibly whole day.
I've been to the back gate of Area 51. No planes there. 😀Just saw 4 fighter jets passed by my house. It was so loud. Waking up the whole neighborhood. Wonder if they were going to Area 51?

You are probably right. Possibly. I just didn't hear anything about it. But that's probably what it is.
I'm excited for the review embargo to lift. I hope it comes earlier than Wednesday.
