To give all you folks something more to do, if you install Flightradar24 on your iPhone, not only can you track your flight, similar to other apps, but you can also point your iPhone to a plane in the sky and see its flight info, and also its track. Sometimes when I'm sitting in the backyard with my dog, I'll track planes on approach to Las Vegas.
As a kid I remember I used to stare up at the sky when I saw jet trails and wonder where they were coming from and going to. That is so very cool that I can actually know that now, thanks for the recommendation!

I downloaded the app and am in the trial. Lots of very nice features. I may very well let the $35 annual subscription stay in place past the trial period. This will be fun to use for a couple upcoming flights I'm on later in the year. (As well as tracking the much-anticipated new iPhone 😁)
 
Maybe it's just me, being an old Gen-X'er, but people basically pimping products on youtube/twitter/instagram/ be it Apple products or not - and calling it "influencing" is just asking to be made fun of. I don't get it.

They probably don’t mind considering all the money they make for doing it.

Ive never used their hold for pick up feature which is why I’m kind of panicking about the whole thing. I’m used to seeing a confirmation email whenever I do something like this. I guess we’ll just have to be patient with ups and wait for tomorrow.
This is where a little bit more information from UPS would be useful, such as: "I see your hold in the system, but there won't be anything more detailed until the package gets to the local hub." It's the radio silence that adds to the angst.

I know, right? However, what they produce needs to be fair, unbiased, objective and factual information. But I doubt that's the case - even @theyaylivingarea said iJustine's review wasn't even a review, it was marketing.

I'm on an approach to DEN and its fun to sometimes see MrWolfs fly over. Or my babies, when they visit.
 
5:20 AM. Store was down and I then tried twice to do store pickup near the place I was planning to have lunch with a friend (who since cancelled) and the times disappeared when I went to check out. I then selected ship to my home and got a Sept 28 - Oct 3 delivery window. Still planning to see if I can get an iPhone in store tomorrow. We will see. I am fine with the delayed delivery but would be nice to have it sooner.

Long story but I ended up having to buy my current iPhone on Citizens. So, I started a whole new loan so no way this could be a trade in box. Also, I ordered each item separately. Just helps me keep track of deliveries easier. Also have an Ultra on order as well that I purchased on its own.
Gotcha. Did you also order the Ultra on Friday? I have a feeling this might be the one showing on UPS. Your iPhone and APP dates are further out.

Just received my schedule for tomorrow. My morning is full which I expected. Afternoon is open except for a 30 minute time slot that is cutting it close to when my driver normally delivers. I have a CaseMate case delivering tomorrow with a window of 12-4pm, but not sure if the two packages will be delivered together (sometimes 2 trucks work on iPhone Day because of the volume to be delivered).

If I held at the CC, I wouldn't be able to pick up until after 6PM so I'm accepting the 30 minute risk.

It's all marketing talk. It also seems like they are doing it based on a script. I don't trust these cheesy marketing reviews.

For example: Remember June 20, 2010. iPhone 4. Check out all these reviews. All positive and marketing based. Greatest thing ever!


After the iPhone 4 was launched into the real world. people discovered "Antennagate". Apple's worst nightmare and enemy!

 
Pre-Order 9/9 at 11:31AM ET: iPhone 14 Pro Max - Silver - 256GB

Hello all, wow it's been a bit being in these forums. Congratulations to everyone receiving tracking info in anticipation of tomorrow's arrival. I've normally pre-ordered through T-Mobile and was a frequent in their MacRumors threads. I have one word for pre-ordering through them: DON'T. I ran into issues with their system as some may have heard they experienced loads of issues and systems being down.

Happily, I was able to pre-order through Apple later in the day. My estimated arrival date is Oct. 10-17 which is... far away. But I'm thankful to simply be able to know I'll be receiving it. It's so intriguing reading your updates, I'll live vicariously through you all until then. Cheers!
