Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[rjjacobson]

I have also received by by 10.30 CDT. I have 3.30 to 5.30 window.

Probably mixed mornings vs afternoon times over the years. But this is latest estimate I have gotten in some time. Wondering if they have lots of phones or lots of business to do first. My driver told me one year if there is an overnight package or mail in neighborhood then he will be in neighborhood and I get phone early. Not this year LOL

 

[Rob198612]

[Kylejames182]

Been stuck at processing for over 8 hours now.

That makes 2 of us. Mine is still processing.

Hahaha, how do I laugh at and love this? I'm South Metro, what's your band? Drummers and Bass players have all the personality! Have a great show tonight!

Ha! I have often wanted the ability to post more than one reaction too. 😁

Band is called Highland Ramblers (at one point, every member lived in the Highlands neighborhood - some still do).
Often referred to as just the Ramblers, they were a bluegrass band before me. Since adding a weird drummer with pretty eclectic taste + limited ability (lol), we've sort of morphed more into more of a Wilco-ish territory (I use that reference very loosely). All originals with some covers from Grateful Dead to Eddie Rabbit (yep) - almost any song is game. We're a 5-dad band, so it's a literal miracle we can still manage to get it together enough to gig. Nothing fancy. I just like playing.

And they is WAY too much about me in a thread not at all about me. LOL!! Sorry all. 😳🤪😂😂😂

They just sent me a delivered message but its not even the correct city. Delivered to Gap, PA. Got to be the worst iPhone day for me in years .....

 

[RyCan3]

I’m in Easton

I’m in Mechanicsburg

 

[SisterBlue22]

9:16am and finally out for delivery, with an estimated time of "5:15pm-7:15pm". I should be used to it by now, but still....sad face.

 

[Brad7]

The torture begins😂

 

[Kylejames182]

Going on 6 hours now

 

[jphall]

Ugh! I can't activate the eSIM until I update the iPhone, but I can't update it until it finishes the iCloud restore... HAHAHA

fun to figure out before the transfer starts!

I'm using phone to phone transfer, but I forgot to change my photos from full size to optimize, remove all music, and remove all movies! So it has to transfer 750GB instead of maybe 200GB before I can do anything.

I've just canceled it to start over, hope that was the right move. yikes!

 

[JFK1979]

normal - they have to follow a strict route based on package service level. They have preset stops that they cannot deviate from. It makes no sense when I see the package car pass my house twice and then deliver

So do you get priority if you upgrade to my choice premium?

 

[kupkakez]

When I worked for Apple we saw these delays all the time in getting the order cancelled and the upgrade added back to the account. Sometimes took hours, sometimes days It was beyond frustrating for our users.

Yep! I did a decade in telecom procurement for companies and ran into this with ATT on a weekly basis. Their systems are incredibly antiquated. Once you get to a certain part of the "upgrade" process ATT "parks" the mobile number. Meaning if you cancelled out of the order in their system your number remains in "parked" status for several days and you cannot perform another upgrade. We always had to escalate it to our "channel managers" to have them remove the parked status.

Terrible terrible system I dealt with for my decade of telecom agony lol

ETA: this is why I'll never use the big 3 and stick with prepaid and buy outright or utilize the 0% on the Apple Card. After my 10 years of service lol I can't handle post paid carrier shenanigans anymore

I saw my ups truck in town, stopped and grabbed it from the driver early.
I like the silver/white a lot

That's awesome that the UPS driver was cool. I went with silver too. Is the phone truly a different shade than years previous?

ENJOY YOUR NEW BABY!!

 

[1GSXR2ENVY]

Delivered at 1157am. Now to just go get it from the mail room when I get home🙌

 

[rjjacobson]

9:16am and finally out for delivery, with an estimated time of "5:15pm-7:15pm". I should be used to it by now, but still....sad face.

Yeah I am 4:15-6:15 pm for mine maybe the latest I have experienced

 

[max2]

At first my eSIM to eSIM transfer for some reason did not work and phone was stuck in SOS.

Though after the iOS 16 update and the phone rebooting it works now my AT&T Service!

Thank god.

That would of been a nightmare.

 

[hovscorpion12]

I swear UPS hates me. They're still making me wait.

I was gonna unbox mine but this is now the same situation for me, LOL

 

[ScoutTactics8]

Finally caught up on posts, I was about 85 pages behind and read like 40 of the most recent! Haha. Nice to see people getting their new phones, whether delivered or pick up. Mine just went out for delivery! Stoked! Will snap a couple pics when it gets here and I unbox it.

 

[Trozetar]

I am beyond gutted right now, they delivered to the wrong city and address.

 

[JeffSquad]

9:16am and finally out for delivery, with an estimated time of "5:15pm-7:15pm". I should be used to it by now, but still....sad face.

Congrats on the out for delivery at least! Mine has now been processing for officially 5 hours

 

[SpecB]

So, connect via wired to my Mac and update to 16.0.1 before setting it up? I didn’t know it could be updated without it being set up first! I’m fairly savvy with tech, but I learned something new tod

Remember PCs can update before final setup so I could see it being a possibility.

In no way I'm condoning or prompting you to disobey your wife!!! One could set it up, play with it, then do a hard reset when you think it's the appropriate time. I'm just saying!

 

[oneteam]

I can confirm that the eSIM activates within a few seconds (Tmobile) after the software update. Very fast activation.
