Not yet. I’m grappling with setup, tried an update, backing into a full restore. Think I remembered unpair AW in time.

Real jittery, might have overloaded caffeine trying to overcome fatigue.

Going through another setup and hope to navigate re-entry soon.
Happy iPhone day. Need your approval of the stamp and blessings, please. When you get a chance please check it out. Long live iPhone!

Question, when did this pop up? I don't remember seeing it until now.

And nowhere does it say Signature Required. I worked in the express business two decades with DHL & TNT, we made sure that Signature Required was shown to receivers ahead of delivery attempts. This statement blows my mind!

My phone and watch are still "Preparing for Delivery" at the UPS Facility here in Chicago. Despite tracking still saying delivery today, I'm starting to get worrisome 😨 Get on that dang truck already!
Guess posting on here was the magic fairy dust I needed to get an update! UPS still says preparing for delivery, but I’d say otherwise given that I now have phone and watch in my hand!!
 
I'm continuing to watch the truck my phone is on and it is blowing my mind how circuitous the route it is taking to get to me... It's especially painful as it was literally on the road my husband was working on across town at the beginning of the delivery window and is now in a completely different town. And it took almost exclusively dirt roads to get there. I guess us rural folk like Apple products just as much as those in the cities and burbs!

Never seen that before. I authorized and put a note on my door to leave the package.
 
The Space Black really is something special. I love the combo of matte black and glossy black. Like a 50/50 of the iPhone 7 black colorways.

If you can get it, especially in the same storage capacity, I say go for it!

Get the SB iPhone 14 Pro Max, and once it’s secured, cancel the Pre-Order.
Thank you!

Unfortunately I couldn't do it for today since I'm going out tonight... But that didn't stop me!
 
FYI on bringing up the new iPhone - at least my method. Turned it on and didn’t sign in w/ AppleID, didn’t setup Face ID or anything. Only things I HAD to setup were a passcode and the Cellular Activation. Just can’t advance past those steps without doing that. Put in WiFi password so it could download the latest iOS and updated.

Then I erased the phone - and this is where I always get nervous…so General>Reset>Erase All Contents and Settings. Under eSIM, you will have the option to either erase Data AND eSIM (NO-NO) or Erase Data and KEEP eSIMs (YES).

Now you can restore however you wish. My initial thought was to do a somewhat fresh phone, where I would not restore from backup and just download the apps as I needed them. But, since I doubled capacity on the 14PM to 512GB, I’m just going to do a phone-to-phone transfer and see how this goes.

Cheers and happy Activation / Retsorations!

Phone in hand. And I’ll say that was a pretty painless experience. Besides the fact that I had to pay 5.99 to have it held at a UPS hub. I was able to just walk in with no line and pick up my phone. I guess I had pandemic anxiety About going to a UPS hub especially when they only open for four hours now. That line was so long during the pandemic that I ended up letting the item go back to the sender. LOL.
 
Hey everyone! New to the forum but have been following/enjoying this thread. Yay to everyone who got/are getting their new phones. Still waiting for my space black pm that’s out for delivery. Was able to order a silver one today for same day delivery through the Apple Store app and already got it. I’m probably going to return the space black coz I’m really liking the silver.
