Why is the Apple site only showing that my phone is preparing to ship?? I dont' think I'm going to get it by Friday.


*Disclaimer, if you think I'm serious, you haven't been reading these forums very closely and sarcasm is not your strong suit*
No, you will. They always ship like this before launch. If you have a launch day delivery you will get it on that day.
 
Its better to change to "pickup in UPS store" or leave it to arrive at home?
I think if you switch it to a UPS store, then you will definitely not get it on launch day, unless you are talking about a Customer Center (CC), then yes, you can get it on launch day. If you are home all day, then it's best to just let it arrive at home.
 
Busy day today so just checking in to this thread now. After reading reviews I’m still excited for Friday!

Current status on my 14 Pro is:
Departed from Facility
09/14/2022 7:15 AM
Anchorage, AK, US

Status on my GF’s 14 Pro Max:
Arrived at Facility
09/13/2022 12:42 PM
Louisville, KY, US

Friday is almost here!
Thursday is right around the corner. Big day, we have opportunity to stress quite a few servers tomorrow. Let's Go!!

Unless you can't wait a moment longer, have to get up and pee. That's when UPS always scampers away.

We have gotten good at that. This has been a long week not just got us for even Apple and UPS. Oh, don't forget about all the Aviation websites.

How come FlightAware didn't make the list.
 
Departed from ZhenZhou 2 times, once after leaving Anchorage. Departed from InCheon 2 times. Supposedly now in Incheon after leaving Anchorage. Hope I can get the air mileage rewards.
