Space Black. I saw the photos of the much darker finish and thought it looked slick as hell, it still does, but Deep Purple has a nice iridescence to it.

I went with purple (PM 256) this year but was really struggling with that and a space black. I have done the unique color since the iPhone X, and haven’t had a black phone since my iPhone 7 Plus…

I want it to be just a bit more black… and even though this years is darker in certain light, it’s still a far cry from the Jet Black of the 7 plus when looking at marketing photos…. Which is what I want again.
 
look like mostly all iPhone are scheduled for Friday delivery has been departed / origin scan .

I was with Apple pre-order all the time , but this year I can't pre-order due to work , missed y'all.

So , will they have stock for walk-in customer this early Friday ?
Your best bet may be to stalk the online store or the store app. There were several phones available at stores near me today. Watch for the one you want and grab it for store delivery.

That's how I got my MacBook Air on launch day. I had an order, but I had waited and my delivery date was way out. I watched the store inventory and grabbed the one I wanted a couple of days before launch. Once I had it in hand, I cancelled the other order.
 
My phone is moving now!!! HELL YEAH! ONWARDS TO ANC!!!! IT IS NOW IN INCHEON, S. KOREA!!! LET'S GO!!!!!

So what are our options plane wise if we are not on the one that departed earlier?
There will very likely be another UPS 748 heading to ZHCC just like today to pick up 46 more containers (which nets out to around 210,000 iPhones given this new smaller packaging assuming nothing else is on board, given they've been running flights almost daily since Sat and I heard rumor of an Atlas charter, although I haven't personally confirmed that and even if it is true that more likely bulk cargo destined for carriers or retailers who have launch day allocations rather than direct-to-consumer, we have to be close to the end of the pre-order launch day volume).

World-class post. 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

Thank you! @bmustaf
 
Ok this is cruel and unusual punishment. They made you wait in China, and now again in Korea?? 😥 Has anything like this happened in the past?
I believe it happened last year. I was hoping this wouldn’t be the case but the scanning was delayed last year. There's always seems to be an issue with this.

Awesome, any idea when or if we'll be able to track it?
