Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

Send Apple a chat message and ask for the full tracking number, 9 times out of 10 they’ll give it to you

Is that true?
So far no. They are telling me "You need to wait for the email with the tracking info - but don't worry - it's going to be on time". They said they don't have it because it still says "preparing to ship". They don't seem to acknowledge the disparity between order details saying "preparing to ship" and it getting here in a few days. They say they don't think it's actually shipped yet and they haven't received the info from UPS. Is UPS just failing to scan stuff?

Do you know when that becomes an option? Delivery day? I am a bit paranoid - can I tell them to put it in something to conceal it on the porch? This is my first new phone in 5 years, I'm so excited - I'd be devastated if it got sniped from the porch!! I think my husband will be home, and UPS usually doesn't come until 5pm, but I'll be busy until 7 or so... gah!!
Option was there for me since the day I first got my tracking when the phone was still in China. There’s a section with pre picked options for driver instructions as well. And I’m sure if it’s a reasonable request you could leave a note on the door asking the driver to hide it. When one of the PlayStation 5s I bought was delivered I used the camera at my front door and asked them to leave it inside my camper and they did for me

No, UPS has a tracking number already. You can look up tracking by reference and use your order number minus the last 2 digits. Only thing is, you’ll only be able to see the last 4 digits of the tracking number.

People with the paid My Choice membership can see the tracking. Or people have called UPS and got it. I haven’t had such luck.

Guys. Need your opinion about something. For the past years I’ve been using dBrand for tempered glass screen protectors. I love them because they are very thin, and most importantly the oleophobic coating on them feels so like Apple’s on the iPhone screen.

Sadly, it seems like dBrand is slacking behind this year on shipping and I want something that delivers on Friday so I saw the Belkin Ultra Glass on Apple Store, should I get it or do you guys recommend something else?

I don’t want anything that darkens the screen, for privacy or any of this. I just want to feel like I am using my phone without one, and the same amazing oleophobic coating Apple uses.
 
Finally got back on here again. What did I miss all day? lol I did get to see when the Louisville scan actually posted. So now when will they actually get scanned to go off in separate directions to the different major hubs?
 
A bit late posting - had to take a nap to get rid of a migraine. It’s so good to be moving!

It looks like ours are on the same plane!

Are you a yearly upgrader? I bet you’ll love the new deep purple. I was thinking about getting it as well, but at the last minute I changed my mind. But, yeah, that’s true the cases cover it up anyway lol
I’ve been upgrading yearly yes. I keep telling myself it’s ok to splurge “one more year” .. I’m glad I was able to talk myself into it at the last minute this year. Next year things might be different. My husband got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January so I don’t plan too far ahead now.

I always talk myself out of colors but this purple is just too fun! I may have to consider a clear case to enjoy it sometimes, but have no idea what’s a good case in clear. I bet there are case forums huh

I buy the tech armor ballistic glass screen protectors.

You’ve missed lots of plane stalking and drinking. And back and forth about “the app” - Aftership.

He should be extremely busy Thursday night getting all our individual planes leaving KY.

But seriously this was a blast to see! Thanks @mralexrest ! We owe you!
Haha, no problem! I had fun doing it. I may have a future in plane spotting 🤔! If only you could see (and hear) the UPS planes that come and go at all hours of the day. It's insane. I'm pretty sure I could take a picture of every plane that leaves LVL on Thursday night/Friday morning and it would be bound to be carrying someone's new iPhone!
