My setup/transfer experience:
- Started smoothly, transfer of number from old iPhone (t-mobile) failed
---- Additional detail: prior phone was iPhone 13 Pro Max
- Continued setup
- Quick iOS16 hotfix popped up so I installed that
- Phone asked to transfer number again
- Failed again
- Finished downloading key stuff from latest icloud backup
- Card transfers to wallet done
- Apple watch pointing to new phone done
- email passwords re-entered
- Phone asked to transfer number again
- *** This time it worked! ***
- Now just downloading all my apps to finish things up
So, if t-mobile had a problem it was either patched in that quick iOS fix or is just volume-related and as the crunch of people trying to do this eases up more and more will probably succeed like I did.
Overall not bad at all and I'm topping off it's first charge to 100% as I type this.
Have fun and good luck to those getting their phones today and those eagerly waiting for a (hopefully sooner rather than later) future date.
UPDATE: just got a text message from t-mobile confirming number transfer went through

I prefer darker colors. My attire tends to be monotones of darker shades. Straight black, for me, from a fashion/aethetic pov, is a bit... obvious? Overdone? Thus, I tend to favor dark navy and greys, shades in that realm - basically, darks that aren't black. From what I have seen, this purple appears to completely fit that mold. Looks amazing! While I still ended up preordering Space Black, I am super digging the purple. Well done Apple.
Congrats! That looks amazing!
Fedex was here 2 hours ago dropping off accessories. UPS is still show by 7PM
Finally!! And I'm the only one here lol was expecting a party. Where Ont CC people at 😂

Heard a truck outside. Went to check and it turned out to be FedEx delivering to my neighbor 😜
I hear that! Black is actually my FAVORITE color. But when I mean black...I mean BLACK lol. Not Charcoal and some black.
I guess mine made it after all. It’s out for delivery. UPS usually comes by 1:30 so it shouldn’t be too long now.
Oh I'm very much a dude and would have no problem sporting that deep purple. I just chose the space black as I thought I'd get tired of the purple. I think it looks fantastic in all the pictures.
My UPS App shows 7 PM but the website shows different. We will see what is correct.
That was not the case for me. Transfer failed twice but succeeded on the 3rd attempt. I think their systems are just swamped.
Christmas Miracle!
No my PM14 Pro Max 1TB Space Black is not here.
But...
Randomly this morning I checked Order Status & saw Preparing to Ship. Wallet charge of $1,694.94 appeared 9/16 at 831 AM.
Since Apple expedited shipping, I was told I would have it within 2-3 days of leaving warehouse.
Hopefully I receive it before next Friday the 23rd when my AWU arrives.
Honestly did not expect this so soon as my initial deliver date estimate was Sep 28 - Oct 3

They let you print a delivery release and sign it and put it on your door For free.
Finally got to the Home Screen from restoring. Still downloading apps, but the always on screen is cool 😎
No, got mine at 11AM - NJ. If I still lived in NYC, I'd get it at like 8:45PM as usual...guaranteed
Invitation for the driver to steal your delivery.
I will do that as well as i have another thing to pick up in the apple store today. Thanks you for letting me know
So now I have a claim with Apple and a Claim with UPS. Now I wait....again.
