This is random but I am with AT&T I already converted to esim on my current 11 pro max. Is the set up on my 14 pro max gonna be a pain in the a**? Well hopefully the folks at apple can help if it is.
Did they say anything about when you possibly could get a replacement?
My iPhone 14 was delivered, my data was transferred, and my esim was activated after the 16.0.1 update was applied.
I have to step out for some time. Reluctantly pre-authorized for delivery and put a note at the door for UPS guy to leave the package in front. I have a ring camera and relatively safe neighborhood.
And I regret not doing store pickup from the get go. Will never trust UPS with my phone again. They lost my wife's and mine is delay until Monday with no chance of being able to just go there and pick it up. So In-Store pickup on release day for the win. I was able to get an order in this morning for a same day pickup to replace the two phones that I don't see ever making it to my house.

It's going to depend on the claim from UPS. If they can't find it then it will be a replacement sent expedited. Though that process to get to that can be 48-72 hours. So likely my launch day/weekend is over.

If they cannot retrieve, then 14 to 30 days for the claim to process.
Thanks for the update. You may have already mentioned it but was you 13 Pro Max esim as well?
So just upgrade to 16.0.1 before even attempting to setup and activate?
Some observations from the Apple Store I went to today (Victoria Gardens)
Ordered the iPhone this morning for a pickup tomorrow. There was no option for today. It then said ready for pickup and I called the Apple Store Website support number and they told me to head over whenever. So, knowing how there would be some innocent misinformation I packed gadgetry, patience, some logic, and kindness.
There were maybe 30 people in line when I got there at 8am that had not ordered devices yet. The other lines were minimal, and it was very well run.
I was told I should have not shown up today (kindly) but also told I could wait a few hours to see what happens, so I did just that.
By 8:30 no one was in line, and I continued to sit off to the side and an Apple person asked if they could help me. Once I mentioned I was in a time out because my pickup day is tomorrow, they let me right in because no one was in line.
So. Every store will be different of course but if you have a pickup window for tomorrow and the store is close, and you feel like waiting it out you might be able to get your iPhone today. But, if the line was packed when I was there they would not have let me in and rightfully so.
When I left every iPhone offered today was still in stock and there was no one in line. They think the lines will get worse as the day goes on.
My Ultra order is not due till the second week of October so I might try this again next week.
Super nice Apple people today. I hope their day goes smoothly and the people they interact with kind.

I do have sick time, but there’s a lot of stuff to be done at work and I’m being a responsible employee - adulting sure does suck sometimes! My job actually encourages the use of paid time off and provides a ton of other perks, like flex schedules, but there’s stuff that I really need to wrap up. It’ll just make me crave the iPhone that much more!
My 256GB space black pro max was slated for Sep 27-30. It still says that, but I also woke up to it preparing to ship. Yayyyyy!!!!
I want mine to show up before next Friday because my new AirPods Pro should get here, but I'm still waiting for my Apple Watch Ultra to slide forward from its sep 30 to oct 7 delivery dates! If everything showed up on the same day I would wet myself during the perfect storm of Apple-ness.
Should be straight forward. You will get prompted to choose the phone number associated with your eSIM in the setup
I found out if you have my choice and you say release item when you signed up then you dont need the form
Did you unpair and repair your watch? Or were you able to transfer it over through iCloud? I've researched this (probably too much) and am getting mixed messages on whether it's better to unpair before the old phone back-up and starting the transfer, or just go ahead with the transfer and unpair later, if necessary.
Yes, I think it must have been .. it took a long time to get to my city's processing hub but it's Out For Delivery now!! Yay!
The phones came.now to open and set them up. I hope the e-sim is not a pain.
That's really pretty! I almost went with silver. I haven't had a white iPhone for years. But the purple really spoke to me.
I am so in love with the flagship color this year. I’m so happy with my choice.
I will call this “Ube-by island” lol

If you’re wondering what does ube means?
Ube or Ube halaya or halayang ube is a Philippine dessert made from boiled and mashed purple yam. Ube halaya is the main base in ube/purple yam flavored-pastries and ice cream. It can also be incorporated in other desserts such as halo-halo.
