Seems like all the fun stuff happened while I was asleep. My little purple nurple arrived AND departed Anchorage, Alaska! :). I was in the Wave 2 group that must have got lucky sneaking in the first plane. (I am the “year of the rat” after all). Off to Louisville.

Flight took off 45 minutes ago. Report any scans if you see any. Departed to Louisville Kentucky.

If you sign up for UPS MyChoice (its free) you can get the full tracking info and then we compare flights on flightaware.com to find out which flights our phones are on based on arrival/departure scan times
i did sign up for UPS MyChoice - no luck. i can only see the last 4 digits of the tracking number...

Ordered two 14pros within minutes of store launch with scheduled delivery of Friday the 16th here in the US. Both are still preparing for shipment (charges have posted so no issue there). Should I be concerned that they haven't "shipped" yet and I don't have tracking?
Unless there is a reason to bring them state-side before the Weds/Thurs overnight sort (labor issues, bad wx forecast, political risk, etc), it's WAY cheaper to keep as much of the inventory (once it is bulk packed on pallets for import and can be torn down into/onto domestic trunk routes from Lousiville to regional distribution and local sort) at a massive, low per-cubic-foot/low labor cost facility in a foreign trade zone in CN or even KR than anywhere state-side, because very few local facilities have any spare space and you'd be surprised, Louisville is a massive complex but nearly every square foot is used and allocated, there just isn't space to hold these, sometimes at any cost per cu/ft (esp if they haven't cleared customs yet and they need to reside in an actual FTZ state-side, which is even more scarce space).

Beautiful weather. Nice and chilly. Wonder if it's going to rain today in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What a beautiful morning... we're at 83º this morning, headed for a high of 94º ... sunny and clear as of now. There is something amazing about the desert in the fall and winter. (Not so much in the summer, though).
 
Check if there's a SIM card? I believe last year when Apple shipped out the 13 Pros, there were no SIM cards and everything we eSIM. This is what I see when I go into Settings -> Cellular:

Do you see the "Delete eSIM" option as well?
I do see the “Delete eSIM” option, I forgot the 13 Pros shipped without the physical SIM 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
I am having my phone shipped to my office so no the address on my MyChoice account. So when I enter my phone number for the reference number, I only get a partial tracking number and a note stating UPS no longer provides details on shipments searched with reference numbers. So mine is "On the way".

Same, I think the system is just confused.
 
three months ago i had dropped my 13PM and went straight to Apple. i thought i would need a screen protector until they had taken off the screen protector. entire bottom screen cracked despite having a case on. they ran a diagnostic test and showed the band was damaged too. walked out with a new phone for $49. Applecare+ is def worth the money.
Right? I got a brand new phone for a tiny screen edge chip

I can't wait to finally get my full tracking number to see who I travelled with.

I noticed that. Tracking is all over the place now. But I will take that over delayed scans. When people took off from ANC to KY. The departure scans did not hit for a long time. Not usual. Expect an arrival scan soon in Louisville, Kentucky. 2 hours left.

Ordered the iPhone 14 Pro Max Gold. Showing a ship date of October 10th - 17th. Just out of curiosity, I know in some cases in the past launches that the dates have improved beyond what you might’ve originally have been told. Do you think that’ll be the same this year? Or am I stuck waiting until October?

(I’m posting this again just to see if anyone else knows anything. I apologize for the double post. I just want my new iPhone already. Just like the rest of you!)

This might give you a little piece of mind...My status on the Apple Store is still "Preparing for Shipment" & a delivery date of September 23 via "Postal Service". I had checked UPS on Sunday and there was a shipping label created and a delivery date of September 16th. Right now my iPhone is on the flight from Anchorage to Louisville.
I'm in the exact same boat with the September 23 Postal Service info but it's about to land in Louisville. I can't imagine UPS will do anything strange with our phones that have the 9/23 info in Apple (UPS has a delivery date of 9/16).
 
I ask this with the utmost respect: why do people care about where their phones are so far before release? I saw my order go to UPS. I saw it said 09/16 and I closed the app.

Admittedly, I opened the tracking info after seeing 467 pages of people talking about where it is in CN and when it’s shipping out, etc. I’m ignorant to the excitement and am genuinely curious what the hype is about.
Passes the time, something fun to do, get to meet a whole bunch of fun and interesting people that I would never have met, otherwise.
