I won't be unfortunately. I usually can see the Tribute in Light from my rooftop. Sadly, it's super cloudy and rainy today, so I'm not sure. I'll check once the sun sets. Here are the lights from the 20th anniversary (last year) from my rooftop. Really sad reminder each year. 😪

No mistakes. Been there done that for the last 14 years consecutively. The struggle has been real.
One thing I don't miss is the days when we on the East Coast had to either stay up or wake up at 3am to do the preorder. That SUCKED!!!!

That being said, one of the best iPhone launches I ever experienced was when I was in line overnight for the iPhone 4 launch. Hanging out with family and friends all night long. Someone even came around passing out free 3rd party iPhone 4 cases. Haven't experience an iPhone launch like that ever since.
 
I'm trying to keep each week exciting until I move 3 weeks from today....new iPhone this week, NYC trip the following week with a couple of work parties and then my High School reunion....and then pack up and get out of here and on to my new house!
So jealous you are going to NYC. You are going to love it. My advice, get your tickets on places where you want to go ahead of time. You will save lots of time.

There is a lot going on in your life. You definitely need the iPhone 14 Pro Max to be there with you. Happy times!
 
Is picking up at a UPS CC an option? For me, it's the opposite.. UPS arrives before noon here all the time.

If they arrive before noon, then I wouldn’t change to pick up at the CC unless they open at like 8am. Mine changed their hours to a split shift and they don’t open until 10am now.

Can someone walk me through how to see this on UPS MyChoice? I just created an account and nothing shows up there. Do you have to link it to your apple account?
Like the others have said, it may take some time for it to populate (as long as you gave the right address and it matches your Apple order). Then, go to the hamburger menu > Tracking > View All Shipments, and it will be there.

Now we have to suffer. The people in the west coast. That day I only slept 2-3 hours. This pre-order has also been a disaster for many. Even I was freaking out when I couldn't get in at 5:03PST. I thought the shipping dates have been slipped already. All is well. Part of this thrilling experience!

I hated getting up at 3 AM. I was so glad they changed it to 8AM ET. I get to preorder right when I get to work.

I actually work there and am in the office usually one week each month.

I was born in Queens and grew up most of my like in NJ just a 45 min. train ride away from the city.

I've worked remote for more than 5 years now and just need to live near a major airport, so was finally sick of the winters in MI and wanted to be closer to family (but not too close). South Carolina won out. Close to the beach and Savannah, GA airport is less than an hour away!!

Isn't Las Vegas "The City That Never Sleeps"? 🤪
 
BRUHHHH!....I got all worked up when I saw it show UPS Customer Center as an option on the MyChoice website.

You are always correct and yes, I will wait. ;)
I didn't wait...sometimes that request to hold takes a day to process. If/when you can change it to CC hold, do so ASAP. Don't want it jumping on the truck...cause then you have to wait for the truck to get back from it's route by dinner time.

You're using the desktop Website, yes? I couldn't do it by the app or mobile UPS site. I changed it today by 8am PDT.

Oh very nice. Who am I telling, LOL. I should be asking you for stuff for my next trip. I want to go visit Queens area next. I love the train ride from NJ to NYC.

I think my uncle live in South Carolina. It's farrrr!

Right now, I can change the delivery to a new address, but only to a neighbor near my old house.

It looks like I can change delivery to a UPS location near me in VA, but not the local CC.

Looks like my best bet may be the neighbor route and then have one of my kid’s go over and grab it immediately to overnight to me.

Do you know what hub your packages normally arrive at?
 
I tracked UPS MyChoice using track by ref, but it only shows partial tracking number. Any ideas how to see full tracking # ?

Yes...website, but I am in a different issue where I want it to ship to the CC in Lynchburg, VA versus my old home address in Grand Rapids, MI.

Worst case is I will have it deliver to my old next door neighbor, have my son grab it and then overnight to me.

Why did the phone have to come out in the middle of me living in three different locations hundreds of miles apart from each other?? 🤣
