I wish I was more clever, more a part of the group. I have been here a few years and really really appreciate the info/tracking and love watching you guys have fun. But I haven’t really made any friends in here, so maybe I can stick around instead of disappearing on Friday like I always do, only to return a year later. :)

It’s funny because I barely use a phone, except to take pictures of my haworthia. I’m retired but rarely leave the house. I use my iPad for everything else. My 13pm still has 100% battery. It gets charged every few days unless there’s a dr appointment or something. Still I love seeing the new tech, and can’t wait for the 14!

It’s been a hard year, really hard. This group has helped me have something else to focus on so thanks for the silliness you all!

FYI I put in my request to pick up at the CC counter on Sunday. They immediately put a pending charge for the 5.99 on my Apple Card and it’s still pending. My choice immediately updated to delivery change requested. I think it will all go smoothly. Better than last year when I waited until after 6pm for the darn truck!

So thank you @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 and the rest of you for all you do!
Yes, this year and these past few years have been hard on a lot of folks. I will admit it here too it's been tough for me personally - sometimes really tough and almost unbearably tough, but I want to thank everyone else as well for providing some distraction from all the other things going on in the world. You all are great people and there is such a loving and wonderful community here. I don't always post a ton, but I do read these forums a lot and I've learned a lot which I thank you all for as well.

Sending positive energy to you @Laryl @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 and everyone else in the thread. ❤️
 
So you say. You'll have to prove it, though.

I'm in Cincinnati area. Maybe 10 years ago there were storms across the upper midwest that forced the flight from Anchorage to Louisville to go east of Detroit and it came right over my house. It was crazy as I watched it on the tracker and heard it fly over at 30 some thousand feet overhead at 3am- it is quiet enough at that time of night that I can hear the high flying jets. I had to wait another 12 hours for delivery.

My ritual now is to pick it up at the CCC just after they open on launch day. I usually include a trip to the Apple Store just for fun to see what's happening there before I head home to set up the new phone.

I loved flying on 747s when United was using them and had maybe 40 transoceanic flights (mostly to Australia, one to Hong Kong, and a few from SFO and ORD to FRA). So the 747 is my preferred plane to bring my phone to the USA. I think it's funny that I care.

In October of 2018 I flew to and from Hong Kong, just days after my iPhone arrived from China. On the way home I took photos of Hong Kong and Anchorage with the phone I'd just tracked flying over those same places. Very cool.

My phone has now left CGO, I imagine it's going through Korea, but occasionally they've gone through Hong Kong.


PS I'm pretty sure Post #1 in this thread says to track shipping via UPS. Apple doesn't report "shipped" until the phone is leaving Louisville for the final leg. So don't pay any attention to Apple saying it's still preparing to ship on Thursday. If you have a Friday delivery scheduled it is either on the way to Louisville or already there.
Great Post! Northern Ky here, and I'll be at Kenwood Mall Apple at 10am friday to get mine!!
 
That’s what I was confused about too.
I wonder we never seemed to be able to find what plane took us to Korea with UPS 91 taking us from there to Louisville. I wonder if there is a short hop like UPS 175 from China where the phones really were For UPS 91 and now we saw the same with 175 to the UPS 183 leaving shortly?

Don’t worry we all have our own personalities that come through that make this a fun and exciting time. Just join in the silliness with us! ❤️

I hope the rest of the year treats you well as well as 2023 being a better year for you.

I will be your friend here. And I’m sure many more here would be too. What I love about the iPhone and Apple is the community, and this excitement.
 
Aside from the Kentucky error, yeah. Everything else has been working good for me, love that I get notified when there's an update on the iphone tracking.
Same for me lots more data than UPS is willing to give in current time more than at the end when details are populated.

You don't need to be anything but yourself to be here. Nobody is judging you. You are 100% welcome here.

Order confirmation still says the 16th. So I have a little hope still that Apple will deliver, but it’s fading.
I just looked at my two orders, and the one (that just arrived in Incheon) is going “Standard Delivery,” whereas this order states “Express Delivery.” So I guess there is still hope?

I actually like Aftership. First time I'm using it after seeing a lot of people use it.

I usually always F5 the UPS website or check UPS app to see if there's an update. I've been getting notifications on whenever there's a new update on my tracking. It's been solid on showing me notifications as they come in without having to obsessively check the tracking number.
I nominate you and @impatientashell to be our subject matter experts for all Aftership queries. Thank you.
 
If someone somehow gets a iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max a day early will you really be fined if you set it up on Thursday ?
No there won't be any repercussions to the end user. But people in the supply chain will get in trouble, someone in UPS.

They're not as put together over there it seems. Just excited to be on the hot tamale train finally and out of ZZ.
That's why I just want to hear about it in here from people I "know"
Thank you! Cant wait to hear what you all think
 
Having a little buyers remorse now that my 14 Pro is on the way that I didn’t upgrade to a Max ;_;
This was me last year. Pre ordered the pro then I saw the max everyone had and definitely had screen space envy. Luckily I was able to score a 13Pro max a week later.

Or perhaps you’ll like the size of the reg pro!
