Everyone lighten up. It's a joke.

I'm the ultimate klutz and I'm always somehow cartwheeling my phone across the floor and my phones look perfect because of their products. So I'm convinced. Other cases and screen protectors have not been so kind to me.



Once every couple of weeks I clean out the dust with a microfiber cloth and wipe the phone as well and it's fine, but I've had that issue with every case, except for the Apple Silicon cases.

Should only use Apple polishing cloth. Not micro fiber cloth.

How fast do orders move up after release day? I'm planning to wait till the beginning of next month to get my case. My delivery date says October 18th-25th currently.

Was wondering the same Because that is my delivery date as well.?

All in China no matter what. No one gets special treatment.

Even the YouTubers and reviewers have to return the iPhone back to Apple. They don't get to keep it. Apple is definitely not cheap and they don't like free handouts.

But I like free handouts. Can’t wait for that 1TB Space Black you got for me 🙂

Yes, welcome! you are able to pick it up as long they are open for business. Make sure it’s the correct one assigned to you.

Haha thanks! I just don't want to have it requested for pick up and then ended up not being able to pick it up on Friday. I was afraid that they might push it to Monday the 20th instead haha

I can’t believe iOS 16 drops tomorrow. Seems like yesterday when we saw first beta of iOS 16 in WWDC.

I just installed it! It’s not that special 😕

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I am excited for my silver 14 pro max 128 gb coming this Friday!

I've read that you can hold the package at the local UPS center instead of waiting for the UPS delivery driver. If I request my package to be held at UPS Customer Center for pickup, does that mean I can pick it up right away on the morning of Friday the 16th?

As others have mentioned, yes you can, however, I’d highly recommend you pay super attention to it and as soon as tracking shows any progress, you change it from delivery to pickup - if you wait too long, it could cost you a day because they will “deliver it” to the pickup location but it won’t be processed for pickup until the next day, so read all the “fine print” and you go with this change.

I always call UPS to double-check and verify. Even after I make the request. You should be fine.

Ha thanks! Right now my tracking says it's still in ZhengZhou. Should I wait until it arrives in the US to request for pickup?

UPS 92. ✈️

Keeping a very close eye on this flight. It is set to depart within an hour or so. If this is the flight that will be taking wave 1 and wave 2 iPhones we should see a departure scan tomorrow. All of us!

From Alaska to Korea - It’s a good 8-9 hour flight.

From Korea to China - It's a good 2-3 hour flight.

Total duration: 12 hours.

If this is the flight that will be carrying out iPhones expect activity to hit late night or early morning. All on USA time.

UPS 92 ✈️ scheduled in 20 minutes.

Disagree. Never had a problem with a clean microfiber cloth. You're drinking the Apple Kool-Aid. ☺

 

[Brad7]

Thanks. Took it myself. Was quite difficult, but managed to pull it off!

This you?

I guess if you get the preparing to ship status this month then order your case.

My UPS app usually tells me that the item is ready for pickup, at least in recent years.

If you are not getting an Apple Watch Ultra this year. You are missing out. Apple Watch 6/7/8 are all the same. Same design just minimal effects. But AW ultra is something else. It’s different. If you like bigger watches get it. To top it off, it’s freaking Titanium man. Titanium feels very nice in your hands. It’s lightweight, elegant yet premium. All exclusive! Been upgrading my Apple Watch since S3 and never skipped a year. Once I went with expensive titanium models I never looked back.

Well, you will thank me later when it arrives. Ur going to fall in love. It will also be a chick magnet Watch. Get ready to get compliments all the time. I get compliments on my titanium Watch from people all the time.

I have small hands and I am afraid the Utra will be too large. I have had 5 or 6 small Apple Watches. I guess I need to see it in person or a review with a comparison with the size of the other AW.

They need an ultra mini then for people like you.

Yup, it's recommended to do it after the plane leaves Anchorage, Alaska but before it lands in Louisville, KY.

I think I'm going to, just to stay consistent with past years.

The sooner the better, if you are 100% sure you want to pick it up, just do it, it’s not the first time they hold it at the TN hub or similar and then overnight it to you, at which point it’s too late.

Mine doesn’t show anything yet, but I plan on doing the same thing, I’ve been stalking my account for days 😂

My sister can apply a screen protector in the dark in a dusty room - perfectly. I don't know how she does it.

My trick is applying it in the bathroom after taking a hot shower 😆

I worked in the retail sector for a long time. H&M, Nordstrom, Costco you name it… But government jobs are so laid back and chillllll. Hard to get in but it’s worth it in the long run.

Is your Costco in Henderson? Our daughter went to UNLV and lived in Henderson. Convenient to the airport.

Very nice. Part of Wave 1. Expect a departure scan later this evening. Hopefully!

I hope so!!!! 🤞

She needs to apply them for people as a side job, or at least teach people how to do it.
