Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

Did you finance through your carrier? In the past, I received trade in instructions that were carrier specific. Resulted in bill credits.

No i bought my iphone 12 pro max outright when it was released. No bill credits

So, question....in anticipation of putting a hold on my iPhone once it leaves Anchorage, to pick it up at a UPS CC - I looked on the map and I have two CC facilities pretty close to my house. How do I know which one to hold it at? I seem to remember @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 said if you pick the CC the iPhone is going to, no delay, otherwise there will be a delay to route it to another CC?

Sigh, back to work. This week is going to be long. 😞

Yeap, Going to be a long week since its kind of big week for Apple- Apple Watch SE, Series 8, iPhone 14, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max - release on Friday. and Today is the day iOS 16, watchOS 9, tvOS 16, and HomePodOS 16 releases today

 

[bige12]

Then next week on the 23 that is when the Apple Watch Ultra and AirPods 2 come out

The year I ordered from AT&T they promised Launch Day. That’s why I ordered with them. 10 days -2 weeks later I still hadn’t received my phone from AT&T, so I canceled that order and picked up the phone I wanted at the Apple Store nearly 2 weeks after Launch Day! I always pre-order from Apple now.

So that’s one order. If you think about the logistics involved in the ordering, payment and fulfillment of millions of devices worldwide in just a week there are bound to be breaks in the supply chain. Similar comment I saw earlier about ordering from Best Buy. This year I had both ATT and Apple ready to go. In my case ATT opened orders at 7:55, and I was done by 8:00, Apple didn’t open for me until 8:15. Now my phone is in TX - to deliver on Friday. If you think about it less chance of anything going sideways in this scenario vs shipping a phone from China. Just another POV.

I say its amazing how apple can have new products delivered the official launch day

Yeah, at least we're one day closer to our phones though!

Andddddddddddd time for work

This is all I see. No tracking #yet. Mine was with the glitched 09/23 delivery by postal service.

I had this same question earlier. @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 answered:

Call UPS and find out which one is the main hub assigned to you without a fee. It’s called a destination hub or destination scan UPS customer care.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t any movement until tomorrow (by tomorrow I mean late tonight since China is 12-13 hours ahead of the US. ) logistically with the time difference there is still 4 days to still make Friday.

That’s all I see when I look by reference number too. If you log into your UPS account, you can see the details (e.g. all the scans).

 

[Momof2.1107]

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

I’ve already requested mine and will verify once it hit the US.

 

[Momof2.1107]

To everyone that said that some of the phones were probably already in the states, thanks and you were right. Mine had its first scan in at Indiana.

Did you order from your carrier?

 

[alexcue]

No movement! Back to bed….

 

[bige12]

I wonder if you order from a carrier like AT&T and Verizon on there website I wonder if the phones are locked to the carrier?

I wonder if the carrier phones on Apple website are locked also- to me I think they are or might not since if the phones can have multiple esim plans then they could be unlocked now from the carriers, but if the phones still had the physical sim card then I think they would be locked

 

[bige12]

and can't wait to see the unboxing for the iPhone 14 14 Pro and Pro Max, I wonder if all of the phones are coming in white boxes this year, or the pros staying in black boxes, and the 14s are staying in white

I have a tracking number and have departed ZhengZhou!

 

[ZacKaffeine]

I‘m also doing a store pick up, on the iUP, and I have not been charged yet. I’m thinking we’ll be charged when we pick it up. Kind of like how people who are having theirs delivered are being charged because their phones have been shipped.

Awesome. Thanks so much for letting me know. I feel a lot better now

 

[Cscottrun]

For anyone that is not able to utilize MyChoice to obtain their tracking number and can only obtain the redacted tracking number by searching by reference, I was just able to obtain my full tracking number by chatting with UPS and providing them the reference numbers Apple uses.

 

[hungryteresa]

Cool.

You all ever been to this Apple Store?

Fifth Avenue - Apple Store - Apple

Apple Store Fifth Avenue store hours, contact information, and weekly calendar of events.

www.apple.com

It is my dream to go there one day at 1 am to 5 am. lol

Yes! I love that it’s open 24/7. If I ever need an emergency repair, I usually book with the Fifth Ave location since they have appointments at all hours. It’s great! 😍

 

[SupremeMayo]

Sorry to ask again, but is there anyone in the iUP doing an in-store pickup that has had the taxes charged to their card? I still haven't had any charges on my card, and I'm not sure if it is because I am doing a pickup. My orders seem to be fine and just tell me to pick them up at 8am. The only reason I'm a bit nervous is that the wrong billing address is listed. An Apple rep said this shouldn't affect the orders at all because they were approved.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but my Apple Card is listed under "Financed by Citizens One."

I am doing IUP. My card has not been charged yet. In-store pickup date of Sep 16th.

ATT ordered phones all appear to be shipping from Texas.

Wow didn’t know they were open 24/7. This makes me want to visit nyc again. Used to go to nyc once every month for work and I’d be paranoid about going home w out my iPhone bc I needed gps to drive home. I’d be worried i would drop my phone from taking so many food pics lol

 

[Sleix]

Folks! I just tracked down another flight that is up in the air which is scheduled to land in 1 hour to South Korea. UPS 86. I will also track this one for you to see if it gets assigned to China.

View attachment 2058560

At the moment, we are looking out for UPS 92 and UPS 86. If either one of these flights gets assigned to China. It's most likely will be carrying the iPhones 14's. Time is running out in China. Expect to see a departure scan within 24 hours or less. Stay tuned!

OOH, A 747-8, The comfy seat of cargo craft.
