I flew on the Air France variant, since they codeshare with Delta (my usual carrier of choice). Unfortunately, I was flying in Economy and the leg room was less than satisfactory. Then again, being 6’4” and flying Economy is a recipe for disaster! 😂
The plane itself was really cool. JFK has a special boarding area for it, since it requires two jet bridges, one for each level. In terms of technology, however, the 787 definitely takes the cake.
I believe it has something to do with Apple Pay. I used my Amex and it was supposed to be a 6 monthly payment installment but they changed it last week to 3 payments
thanks for letting me know Amex!!!This is pretty interesting with AfterShip app shows more details then the UPS app itself.
I sure can but not allowed to do that. Everyone is being watched and monitored. Even the Director. It's the airport especially in Las Vegas, Nevada so they are alert 24/7. It's just not possible. You don't want to set a wrong impression and next thing you know you are on the radar. It's not worth it.
Yours was also ordered from the carrier... it's extremely likely that the carriers have their own stock stashed away stateside...
Here are some comments
Phones ordered directly from apple will ship from china until there is stock in the U.S. warehouse. Once stock is in the warehouse they will ship from those. China shipping will continue for the next month or so due to demand.
If you ordered from a carrier most likely it will ship from their warehouse here once the bulk order of phones shows up. (I ordered thru T-Mobile. I have a tracking number but it’s coming UPS ground from Indiana.)
It is possible to get a carrier ordered phone directly from china if your carrier drop ships. That is a rare chance though as the carriers order by the pallet and have to inventory devices.
UPS
UPS may be using private charters from china to Korea. Then they will fly on UPS planes to the states. It is possible they may fly a charter all the way to a UPS hub. Many carriers do this during busy times.
When a package is on a charter you may not see scans on your tracking. You may see a departure from china. Then an arrival a day later in Korea or Alaska. Then it will flow thru the UPS system to Louisville.
Pallets are either single pack or multipack with multi going to stores and distribution centers.

Thank you for posting this. As speculated, we are going through customs clearance. It takes time for them to approve it.
Did you check UPS? Apple won’t give you a tracking number until Thursday
Wow... iPhone 12, huh? Slightly behind the times...
Good Morning! Made me look and ... no movement.
I love my job as well (I work in a high profile building in downtown Manhattan), but I’d rather see planes all day!
Totally understandable. It would be nice though if you were able to.
Long story short...person was arguing that their phone was already in the US....it was NOT an Apple.com order (a t-mobile order) and therefore irrelevant to the discussion in this thread.
No one is saying phones do not eventually ship from the US at some point, but there are NONE right now.
ALL apple.com phone orders at this point in time have or will ship from China....there may be a VERY rare excpetion where a shipment is lost or damage and Apple makes it right from some backup stash, but pretty damn rare.
Yes, the dog life is defintey one benefit. Plus your own fridge and bathroom. TV in the background, it's all good.
Carriers usually will get bulk delivery on Wednesday and will ship Thursday evening. Similar to how apple stores get the delivery midweek.
Nice! Honestly, I rather see high-profile buildings in Manhattan. That's much better of a view. Wanna switch jobs?
If your iPhone was shipped with UPS (if), you can do track by reference number and put in phone# associated with it.
Mine shows delivery for 9/16 wooo
Cant locate a parents, either hasn't populated or using Fedex or some alternative I suppose. Still hopeful there.

I have the same thing, same weight, same Clayton, IN
Must be the apple watch 8, and it comes in a big heavy box (?)
I dated a guy in college who was from Wilmington. I've spent lots of time there (albeit 30 years ago) and have skied Haystack Mountain a few times. Such a beautiful area.
