That's grandad tho..

I know. I'm kidding. I would do nothing.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

That would require me to go outside where there are currently a trillion mosquitos. So no. 🙃

You missed it dang man. You like to do things your way only huh?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I suppose you could try to visit the Apple Store but they might be preoccupied…

What if there’s no Apple Store near you.

That’ll be the problem. I suppose at that point a neighbor you trust 😞

 

[Brad7]

What’s going on? I have a departed 243pm scan from KY but no arrival scan yet. 😂

Maybe coming via truck?

 

[Wilsonsthes]

oh no! looks like the advise to connect to Mac was spot on!

"...In a memo seen by MacRumors, Apple says that "there is a known issue for iOS 16 that may impact device activations on open Wi-Fi networks." To resolve the issue, Apple says customers should select "Connect to Mac or to a PC with iTunes" in the initial iOS onboarding process when prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then return to the previous screen and try again on Wi-Fi until the activation goes through successfully..."

So this is not a problem if I use my home wifi right? My home network is not open

Can anyone tell me how I can about changing my delivery to a local ups store. I registered with my choice, free version, when I click on change delivery, it says an attempted delivery needs to be made first, then I can enter an info number to change the delivery. Do I need to pay the 19.99 to change delivery before an attempt. Thanks for any help.

OK, for anybody else interested, I called UPS, had to be transferred to the international department, they were able to switch the delivery to a local UPS store, at no charge. They said it will still arrive tomorrow. Their hours are until 1 AM to take phone calls.

OMG, why in the world I wanna go through this process? What if you don’t have a PC or a Mac? Then what?

The work around appears to be selecting activate thru Mac/PC and then backtracking to the wi-fi option

 

[Kinggi]

That’s what I was thinking. Lots of coming via truck because of the distance

Funny how this wouldn’t be an issue with physical sim or a proper software development team.

I live in PA so there’s probably supposed to be one more flight to nj or Philadelphia

Currently watching the original presentation of the first iPhone on YouTube... man, Steve Jobs was the best presenter EVER.

Legendary post! Get inspired! 💕 Just far iPhone has come. It's only going to get better and better.

You just had to bring the feels

The sound of the crowd when he unveils the smooth scrolling for cover flow and iTunes is really a fun reminder of how primitive UI's used to be. I try to explain it to my kid, and he's like - yeah yeah yeah, you had to morse code your neighbors when you were younger, I know.

People love to make fun of Apple but they really did change the game with iOS in a big, big way.

I was in San Francisco when he passed away for a conference. Went to Apple Store in the night and there were flowers like I had never seen before. Literally brought tears to my eyes. RIP SJ. You made this happen.

An iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator. An iPod, a phone… are you getting it? These are not three separate devices...

I suppose you could try to visit the Apple Store but they might be preoccupied…

At every in-store pick I have done for the iPhone, I am also baffled by people who willingly pick iPhone launch day or launch weekend as the time to come into the Apple Store for minor issues and take up the Genius Bar times for new iPhone set ups and pick ups.

Like in 2019, when I picked up my 11 pro max lanch day, some guy came with his entire iMac set up for a minor Strach on hi screen. Then was complaining about the huge line of people and it taking too long 😂.

What?! Apple software is never buggy. Never I tell ya…

🤣🤣🤣

 

[xxray]

rest up everyone, we have a big day tomorrow!

But how can I rest up with the excitement of getting my iPhone tomorrow? And how can I sleep while I have anxiety about not being able to fall asleep?

and the irony is my phone will get here “faster” if I go to sleep

 

[ck3801]

I get mine on Saturday, See you all next year when I choose launch day delivery if apple‘s app doesn’t mess up

Thank you! It was great having you around. Thank you for waiting on me to post this thread. Please stop by here tomorrow. It's a big day for us. You are one of the real ones! Go beyond, go iPhone!

Btw, be ready to pre-order the iPhone 15 with me next year. To be exact… in September… I see Periscope camera 👁️

Likewise! I am still on 17th-20th but at least it shipped a few minutes ago

 

[serrenity20]

I'm so sorry. I hope you get it all sorted out.

Always go with Apple.com. Hope you can join us for iPhone 15 Pre-Order thread.

Unfortunately it wasn’t just T-Mobile site T-Mobile itself crashed so even when you went through apple you couldn’t process the order because the system stated that the account didn’t exist until hours and hours later when T-Mobile finally came back up.

If it shipped a few minutes ago. Then you are part of Wave 3. Wooooo
