Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

Those look like the exact same reference numbers on one of my phones.

It gets even better, the track by reference is now working so I tried to track by phone number. It brought up the tracking info for the one I have in MyChoice. Logging back into MyChoice those same reference numbers are there but not the phone number.
Interesting! I just searched by my phone number via reference number I can find my tracking too:

Maybe UPS is just being more secure this year?
 
I haven't yet and I preordered within minutes of the store coming back up... it's still stuck on September 28-October 3 delivery.

Do you happen to know if there is anything different when preordering an unconnected iPhone?
I’m very sorry. Not part of the pre-order launch iPhones. However, you are not too far out. Hopefully, you get a movement soon.

What do you mean unconnected iPhone?

Hello all! Our family had launch day issues so my better half snagged one coming via delivery for launch day and also got my mother in law’s via pickup on launch day in store. Mine delivery is delayed until 9/28 due to app issues Friday morning.

Today I managed to find one available for pickup on the 17th, and I snagged it. My Apple credit card was immediately hit with the charge. I am going to release my 9/28 arrival, but that charge hasnt happened yet.

What is interesting to me, my mother in laws phone for pickup hasn’t been charged yet, and that was set up last Friday, while the pickup I just set up today had the full charge come through immediately.

I dont know what to make of that.
 
Bear with me everyone but trying to figure out if the cable I get with the iPhone 14 pro max will work in the car ok? We have 2 to 4 USB ports. Will that work?


If not what do I need?
Is comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable. If you have a USB-A to Lightning cable already in your car, it will work with the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro phones.
 
Got in on the pre-order and got order in for two phones -256 GB 14 Pro Space Black and 256 GB 14 Pro Gold before 8:30 am EST for delivery date of 9/16. Status still "Preparing to Ship" and no tracking number yet. Anyone else in the same boat?
Apple site's order status won't flip to "Shipped" with Tracking info until they clear customs in the US - usually Wed/Thurs. All of the tracking you are reading about now until then is based on UPS updates and synching them with flight arrival/departures of UPS planes.

When I preordered, I selected the circled option (it shows up on the app/mobile as "Unconnected" and here on desktop view as "Connect to any carrier later").

The page did quote me a September 16 delivery date when I went through Apple Pay then it magically became September 28-October 3 at the confirmation screen.

Could be or they are having a lot of issues with their servers being overloaded. I am still waiting for the tracking number for my 2nd phone. Both phones were ordered within a couple of minutes of the start of preorders. Apple shows "prepared for shipment" for both and deliver on 9/16.

This means your iPhone is completely "Unlocked" This is how I also prefer it when buying an iPhone. Don't have to deal with a carrier. Looks like your iPhone was delayed when it arrived to a confirmation screen. What time exactly did you order? When dod you get your confirmation email?

It wouldn't hurt to get in touch with Apple via an App and ask them if express shipping is available for you. Maybe they can honor it. Many people here had success with it. Let them know what happened and they will make it right.
