@Sal09 Love it. Straight up CEO status over here. It looks so pretty. Congratulations!!!
I stand corrected - UPS came through and didn’t drop the ball. Til next time, friends.
Last year when I checked, the closest one was across town. I looked today, and there's one just 10 minutes from me, so I'm guessing it's pretty new. I will be looking into that option next year for sure, since UPS always delivers so late to my house.
Not really. He’s using rubber gloves , they actually look like surgical type. Very high end 😂
Interesting .. I though the same but I don't think it's a eSim thing! My company's phone (iPhone 12 mini - Verizon) also has the "No Sim restrictions" message and I know they just got it for "free" with a 36months contract. Maybe the carriers stopped this non-sense locking thing? I mean, if you cancel the contract you loose yours discount and have to pay the whole price so I don't see why locking the device itself.
Just like every release day, ATT activation/provisioning is down hard for us. It's almost like the network ops folks never get the memo that maybe they'll be some spike in volume. It's seriously time for a credible competitor to come out in this industry or government to intervene (again, breaking up Ma Bell was great, but the problem is back), because ATT is "too big to succeed" at this point.
Love it. Woo hoo! Nailed it!!! Congratulations. This iPhone is everything. Please treat it with all respect. The iPhone will do the same for you. Thank you so much for sticking around as well. Please come back and visit us next year. Best wishes!
Delivery truck finally in my area and map is live. Still have about 45 minutes until my delivery windows starts at 1pm. Will see!
Received my iPhone 14 Pro about 3 hours ago. Here are some quick notes:
I transitioned from a physical SIM phone to this eSIM phone on AT&T. The process went smoothly. Everything was quite automatic with very little input needed from me.
Note that transferring to eSIM on ATT was smooth but it might take a little time. I don't know how long it took because the phone was doing a data transfer in the background and I am not sure at what point the SIM transfer was completed.
I opted to do data transfer from phone to phone (instead of from iCloud or Mac backup). Everything went smoothly and the transfer was very complete. All settings and apps were transferred (I understand that the apps and photos were re-downloaded).
I have not bought a new iPhone for a while and was prepared for a long hard setup, but the transfer was so smooth and complete that it was a little anti-climatic. Even most of my apps on the new phone remained signed in.
Enjoying the AOD just as much as I expected.
The dynamic notch works well. Very convenient for playing music.
One thing I did not expect was that I sometimes watch some videos in PiP but I don't really need the video to be constantly on screen. I just want quick access to it. By disabling PiP the audio goes to dynamic notch instead (but only if the app allows background audio without PiP), and so not only do I have access, but the screen is not covered by a video that I do not need to see (I know you can swipe video to the side so it becomes a tab, but the dynamic notch works even better for this. I would prefer if swiping video to the side hands audio off to the notch.)
One glitch unrelated to Apple or the iPhone is that I am unable to set up Apple Pay with Chase at this time. Twitter seems to say that this is an issue with Chase. I expect it to work later. (Update: Resolved)
Hope this helps some people. I might add more notes to this if something occurs to me.

Let's goooo! Keep posting pictures of your new iPhone. It's a beautiful day!!! Today is iPhone today.
I was actually excited to see that in the email.
I've ranted for the past few years on the current way Apple does trade-ins.
Seems silly to send an empty box to me. Apple has brilliant engineers that should be able to come up with a slim box/packaging to handle the shipping of the phone + the return.
Sigh. As I sit here looking for my AWU tracking but see tracking for my empty box
Don't get me started on the chunky packaging Apple uses for the watches.
At least they've slimed down the iPhone packaging quite a bit!
My setup has gone very well! The T-Mobile esim to esim was super easy. I was nervous about that but all is good so far.
My map is not working so I can’t track mine packages and it has passed the estimate delivery timeframe
Just wait. “With Apple Orbit Pro you can get all the same features you love with your current terrestrial cell carrier along with the full range of Apple One services and access to calls, text, emails and more anywhere in the world at no extra cost.”
I understand. Not to worry. Party don't stop until you post pictures of your iPhone.
Also, thank you so much for helping everyone out. I read all your posts and you were very responsive. I'll always have so much respect for you. So humble and down to earth. Thank you again for everything!!!
It takes some getting used to. I thought I left my phone on several times already. 😂
Just do as I used to do as a child. Place it on the box and sleep next to it tonight. 🤣
I had a previous watch that recognized i'd moved to a new phone and connected, but i really didn't want to mess with it and had a quite quick and easy unpair/repair experience.
